Vital for gaming..

We need a more panoramic view, we need peripheral vision, creeping horrors in the corners of our eyes, shining a flashlight one way while glancing into the darkness to the side, firing in two directions at once..

Need something more than a square glowing box trying to depict the whole experience..

Pirates and Paypal

Give me a demo to try the product, then link me a paypal account where I can directly pay the developers themselves - And I will never pirate a decent game again.

I just don't want to give money to publishers, distributers, idiots in purple shirts behind counters or rich suits who don't know their Resident Evil from their My Horse and Me.

Appreciate the moment

Live in the present, and never worry.

Deal with each moment as it comes; if you deserve to live, then you're adaptable by nature. Planning is unnecessary for the individual.

Live without restrictions; rules are there to govern those who cannot control themselves.

Tell no lies; The first lie breaks the illusion of trust, and no amount of truth can erase the implanted potential for dishonesty in the minds of others. Lies devalue all human experience - No achievement is more than a bragging boast, no romantic sentiment any more than a manipulative cliché - thanks to those who have lied.

And always listen to wise boys with blogs - they speak a higher truth, you know.

The nature of attachment

You get close to someone, the flurry of attached thoughts and emotions, unbidden or logical, cannot so comfortably be discussed with the individual who is the focus - They can, but let us assume the feeler prefers not to, as is common.

They need another to discuss with, and in the process of discussing it with them, they may feel closer in turn, with connection and gratitude for the opportunity to share.

Humans really don't work on an exclusive one-to-one basis. We're a tribe by nature. When did that change in the minds of the many?

Thought on Offense

I find those who take offense easily are often inferior.

Aggressive: They seek conflict, or an opportunity for it.

Defensive: They are paranoid, construing innocuous statements or actions as threatening, beyond any justifiable logic.
Neither are unfavourable qualities by nature, but in easily offended individuals both characteristics are in excess.

The mark of someone truly controlled, intelligent and capable is often that they are very difficult to offend, rarely jumping to unjustified conclusions, analysing information incorrectly, and not easily discomfitted... I have long introduced myself to people with fairly controversial, strongly expressed viewpoints, and harshly delivered opinions - I stress-test them to see if they can deal with it, and to see if they are easily pushed into an uncomfortable mental state.

Good thoughts. We learn every day, even passively.

Useful.

Activity

I intend to continue posting here - the last two months have been spent almost exclusively in constant company that has somehow robbed me of the will to communicate or create or do anything but waste my time in games. Combined with reported illness and christmas celebrations, nothing has happened and I am very restless to return to doing and thinking.. Well, anything.

I'm off to a good start. No creativity, but a few new friends who may prove interesting. Not bad for day one. As much as I care for her, I can only hope she doesn't come back too soon, as I will lose my will to live again. I'm not sure why.

I'll endeavor to post here soon, imaginary readers <3
