I'm curious what the covid-19 vaccination rate is like among wizards.

Personally, I was the only one in my immediate and extended family to not get the vaccine or boosters. No doubt influenced by the normie propaganda, I faced a lot of harassement and pressure from my mother.

Knowing my family, I would also probably have been uninvited from family gathering for not having the vaccine but since I stopped seeing them 2 decades ago, it was a moot point.

covid proved to anyone with an observing brain that separate nationhood no longer exists and that advertised conflicts between country A and country B are only phantoms animated by the jewish magicians that rule this world. for a people reputed to be so smart, shouldn’t it have occurred to the regent jews that enforcing their covid hoax across all their client states would be an unwise idea, in that it would yield proof for the actual political condition of a jewish world-government? which thinking observer could credit the illusion of a “US/Iran war”, when covid demonstrated both nations to be beneath mutual jewish dictatorships?

erasmus speaking of an instance of perfidious princes playing secret war-games wrote :

“Torqueri poterit et in satrapas istos, qui, tametsi belligerari videntur magnoque rerum tumultu conflictari, tamen ipsi clanculum inter se colludunt, hoc tantum agentes, ut suam uterque plebem exhauriat et imminuta reipublicae auctoritate suam constabiliant tyrannidem.”

“It [the example] shall also be able to be bent into those satraps, who, although they seem to belligerate and to be conflicted with a great tumult of things, nevertheless they themselves secretly between themselves collude, doing this only, so that each may exhaust his own people and with the authority of the republic lessened may solidify his own tyranny.”

this collusive habit however is now no longer peculiar to the affairs of semi-minor princes, but is infected into the all the modern world where nationless jewish satraps invent between themselves schemes of war wherewith to ruin the peoples they pretend to serve. what an idiotic and insufferable ruling condition, that America is not American (it is jewish), that England is not English (it is jewish), that France is not French (it is jewish), that Spain is not Spanish (it is jewish), that Russia is not Russian (it is jewish), that China is not Chinese (it is jewish), and that Iran is not Iranian (it is jewish). the great ambition of judeo-masonry (a politically unified and war-less world) is now proved to be a lie, as these monsters clearly never had any meaning to topple monarchies and kill nationalist regimes in the interest of a common shareable peace, but only in the interest of enabling themselves with more leverage that they might better enslave their enemies and hold them in loops of controlled warfare.

Jews suicided their own cattle by simply using the TV to fake a viral pandemic. What does that say about the cattle? Sadly these cattle are also members of our own families. I think 97-98% of humanity does not have free will, or intelligence enough to think for themselves. Very scary. Extremely so.

I am not even that horny, a lot of the days I force my self to do it while not even being in the mood for it, it's just the most effective way for me to cope, masturbation is free, gives you instant pleasure and can burn for you many hours at the time, there are times when i find my self touching myself just so I can use it as a way to distract my self for my anxieties and negative thought loops, as soon as i start touching myself all my anxiety and negative emotions start to dissolve as much as i hate and it hate how much i overdo it, i can't deny it makes getting through my days easier when i can just touch my self for many hours instead of just sitting there being miserable feeling hollow bored to tears and empty or anxious and overthinking at worse, my point here is that I believe the addiction for me is a mere sympotom, something I use to escape my negative feelings and the emptiness of my daily life, thanks for reading my blogpost

such a strange plight of existence huh?

i sometimes wonder if my dopamine could self-regulate back to normal

i wonder how many decades i have spent half-present, half-lost in fantasy in my head or lingering tingles of whatever is left from the last wave of ecstacy.

once you get a hit in the day, nothing else can compare. it's hard to imagine a life without the cycle and the chase for more dopamine…

and let me guess, lucid dreams would just be an even more deep layer of escape?

(i know because that's what it has been for me, when I can manage to achieve them…. for the record I highly recommend it lol)

This post sounds like i'm wallowing with you but i genuinely wonder if this is just the best option for us to exist, have a bit of pleasure at least as we slowly slip through existence as a low-level untranscended wizard?

They let me have one because they think I don't listen to them when I have them both on. I don't mind it though.

Again, I am not sure that the checklists would help since I am not sure if I'd even check them. It is also a problem with complex procedures when I'd have to make really advanced checklists to cover all possible mistakes.

I thought that I might be spacing out simply because of anxiety over wasted time and people watching me. Perhaps I'll try to drink some mint or whatever when I'll be at work next time. At least I'll be less upset when I'll fuck something up.

Community homes are hellish, you don't have privacy and you need to follow rules, also you don't have air conditioning and computer usage is limited. I want to remain at home in my bed which is comfy and large. So my plan when my parents die is to sell through an administrator every inherited property of my family and to pay a caregiver to make food and clean my house and do laundry and buy me stuff until the very end. I calculated tbat I will need €2000 monthly to cover the costs, my disability pays €942, so €1058 will be from savings, when money runs out I will die from starvation while sinking in the garbage. My future depends on how many money my grandparents will leave us.

Another development on the clumsiness front.

When I was labeling some cables I recalled that I didn't get the quality control form filled out (and it had to cover like 1000 labelings). Since it was already done I decided not to risk making it up all from scratch and left it alone hoping noone would notice. Of course my boss had to ask about it the next day while he almost never does that. Once he found out that it's non-existent he forced an awkward interchange that went somewhat like that:

>Why did you not fill out the form?
>Well, I forgot
>…
>Why did you forget?
>????

We stared awkwardly at each other for like 5-10 seconds and he went away telling me that I'm starting to act like a retard.

Later he told me that if some sort of auditor or a client would notice that workers miss out filling these forms this way the company could lose the certificate and generally be in deep shit so I MUST stop commiting fuck ups with these forms.

Then he proceeded to complain that despite of working there for two years I am incredibly dependent on others and keep asking silly questions like where to put random shit (I genuinely feel confused and do have to ask such stuff) that has a specified place to be put that I was told about a month before. Then that I am getting late a couple of minutes every day and that I am painfully slow, finishing that in case of any bonuses or god forbid firings I will be at a huge disadvantage.

The thing that pisses me off is that I literally didn't think of that form, it didn't exist until I randomly realized that I have to fill it out. Only reasons why that might happen is that I am so spaced out that I work on some sort of vague auto pilot and keep doing mistakes because of that. Other than that I don't know. Maybe I should try to get an ADHD diagnosis or something? Perhaps a tax cut would make my employers less whiny if disability would grant it…

Ok well. the models are posed and sometimes edited to become portraits for bosses, enemies, ect. I can make a model and from it create several different enemy variants. here the second two pictures are optional "secret" things you can find (this one is easy to find but others will be more obscure). I chose ponies as the magic and differences between them and other quadrupedal species can be interesting. there are no "furry" things like human bodies with animal heads, I find that disturbing honestly. The story boiled down to the most basic is ponies (good) fighting monsters and ancient evils of many sorts. I've written alot of convoluted lore for many things but overall very simple game to play, at the start you will pick one of four 'alicorn' (winged unicorn) to have as your special character. it will unlock special interactions with the world. each can use different equipment and all have different followers. it will really just be a dungeon crawler with fancy paint at the end of the day.

I don't think AI will be around for long, and not for the reason people think.

AI is very old technology, the LLMs utilized are from the 1950s. When computers were first invented they tried using artificial neurons that learnt (the Perceptron). The problem was back then memory and scaling, you could get one node to learn but by the time it went to the next it started to forget. The hardware wasn't there. Because of this AI bots relied on binary tree if/else statements and weren't programmed to learn for decades.

All that happened in the 2010s was that hardware became available to stack LLMs on top of each other. The technology behind AI is veeeeery old, it's a hardware problem. If you're some nerd that reads into tech innovations you'll find the same is true for most inventions. Wood pulp paper wasn't suddenly eureka invented in the 19th century, it's that the steam engine made the processing of wood through mulching possible. The automatic threshing machine wasn't eureka invented, it's that there were dozens of invisible small innovations that fed into it that went unthanked, like the complex mathematic epicycloid calculations that went into the gear functions that some mathematics nerds and clockmakers perfected decades ago.

Anyways, the actual supply chains that are currently feeding the current top of the line GPUs and chips are unsustainable. They're spread across so many countries and it's like a precarious inverted pyramid, each part of the chip fabrication is a monopoly because it's stretching human ingenuity and ability to its absolute limit. And for every part of the input (the lenses, the robotic arms, the chemical acids, the light diodes for the lasers, etc) there's like another 5,000+ companies making bespoke tools for specialists. It's quite literally not cost effective or arguably even possible to scale production further. Like the Concorde and other supersonic jets, the rising costs are not due to economic constraints, but human. The concorde went out of service, and likewise AI will too.

The AI bubble will burst once they try to recuperate costs, once they find out that businesses don't want to pay $100,000 for the slop, they'll get a government bail out. The government will bail it out thinking they're getting a palatinr tier surveillance engine. This will turn out to be a white elephant because the AI data centers built will require replacing every 3 years due to the GPUs burning out, costing hundreds Post too long.

it's funny that AI vibe coding is encouraging sloppy coding that eats more RAM, while simultaneously costing more RAM. Eventually this is going to be like the oil market where it will become economical for new players to enter and undercut everyone. That's probably what China is working on.

I don't think this bubble will burst. The rich will make it go the way of self driving cars, quietly forgotten. They got way too much invested and don't dare admit they made a dumb decision. China doesn't have to win militarily, they just gotta take advantage of this dumb shit to crash our economy.

Maybe I'm a retard and missed your point entirely, but again, why would the whole world or AI in general go the way of the dodo?
Consumer grade hardware which is plenty and has a wide market can run insane stuff now.
The whole palantir thing doesn't need as many resources as you seem to think either.

I could see chip making as a whole being hit if a couple big companies get hit in some major war or something.
Idk I'm just some retard anyways. Don't see this happening.
Even if ASML and taiwan as a whole gets obliterated I think a lot of other companies now have the means to produce such hardware.
Maybe not top0.00001% level, but at this point isn't computing already way stronger than we need anyways?

Smart people can just come up with better code, better math etc.

I play a lot of multiplayer military shooters that aim for realism in the way weapons are handled, and I also do shooting sports IRL. This gives me a lot of dreams in which I'm just an armed soldier tasked with doing mundane military tasks or going and killing communists. Being an actual warrior in these dreams is cool but sometimes the dreams lean more to the videogame side and I end up dying because I'm lagging out or the controls are being unresponsive. Like you know how men have dreams about punching people but the dream doesn't always let the punch really land? I keep needing to shoot communists but the gun isn't working. Last night was a case of me needing to set up a radio on the field but it kept being red and translucent to indicate that it couldn't be placed there, and I died trying to find a place where the game would let me set it up. Then the dream went realism mode and I was shooting at bad guys (Slavs) who were holed up in a building, but then I found out there were also nice cats and dogs in the building too and I may have harmed them so I woke myself up by killing myself.

Sadly and unfortunately societies everywhere are decaying. I think it's a function of population scale / ethnic make up / material prosperity / culture. Japan for example has maintained its high trust society for a long time it seems, because they are largely mono ethnic so there are no cultural clashes. Everyone's cultural roots is in a collectivist framework where people need to cooperate to survive on an island with scarce resources. The Western countries are failing because of all the immigration and decaying social cohesion, which is culture and ethnicity. But even without that I believe that the rampant individualism is also having similar effects, it's only been buffered until now because we've had material wealth and abundance. Once we start to have scarcity this "every man for himself" mindset will further drive the decay of Western civilization, no matter how many brown people have been imported or not.

 No.324085

Japan's state of peace owes primarily to the absolutist system of its law, the control and policing, the cut and leave history and the iron reign of regional principalities before an iron reign was exerted throughout the nation.
Western countries place too much emphasis on life, liberty and independence. What would be better is if they instead instated a more controlling framework and unilaterally killed, massacred and permanently imprisoned anyone who detracted from it. Fortunately, some secret societies are everyday ceaselessly working to that end and will realize the dream of a united Europe within which anyone unlawful is killed on sight. The Chinese way of life is a thing to be envied, not reviled.

That's not what made Europe great and more humane than the rest. Doing that is basically admitting failure of the Western project. An Asian-style world is not one worth living in. Japan is a nice place to visit, but you wouldn't want to be Japanese. This isn't the politics thread though.

japan is a fascinating place but being like japan i don't think is desirable. keep in mind the brutal history of violence it is built upon as you are so broken and biassed that you romantisize compliance as necessity.

the education system makes japanese students want to commit sudoku, that means only the worst people make it through:
obedient, consuming, non-questioning minions who will never think for themselves and always listen to whoever is loudest and most aggressive, which are the last people humanity needs any more of. the compliant people who comply into every atrocity and fully believe that free will does not exist so that they can trick themselves that they are not responsible for their actions…

…while the self-hate in their unconscious parts make sure to inflict torture and self-harm on the corrupted believer in non-responsibility that every education system tries it's best to turn people into because those are the soldier who are tricked to participate in every war, whatever shape it may come in.

south africa had a different vibe to it. complete low trust, everybody is building high fences and walls with secrutiy cameras. the security personal distrusts the employees of a store. when the lady who sold me a bike would help me get the bike out of the store, the security lady would distrust the lady who worked in the store and frisk her to make sure she did not steal anything from the store. as if the workforce was openly hostile towards the owners of the shop…


… as they would be in a healthy culture. all the malicious compliance implied in your posts about japan will never make the world actually better, just embolden the worst of the worst to squeeze the humans even more. you can not comply yourself into a better world when the people you were dumb enough to accept as leaders keep fucking everything up on purpose just so they can have bigger houses and more boats. laws will never improve that because who writes the laws? those who organize against everyone so they can get more for themselves and less for everyone else.

i found a really cool video game i thought other wizards might enjoy too. i didn't put the thread in games because i believe this is one of those rare games that transcends the medium of video games to allow the player to participate in an experience you could not otherwise have. to me it represents the best aspects that fiction or fantasy can hope to offer someone. some people like to play video games doing something they would have little problem doing in real life to a less sensational extend: playing soldier, playing sports, being criminal, managing a business, etc. this game however is something you could not do in real life.

when you zoom all the way in this games looks like a city builder. you are a little village trying to survive the constant hardships of a dangerous world. you carefully choose which buildings to build and what technologies you research given the limited resources. you shuffle around people to make sure they have the job that currently helps the little village the most and don't waste time on jobs currently not important and you can destroy buildings you built for 100% of the resources you spend, meaning you spend the time carefully optimizing stuff. you learn stuff and improve stuff and when you notice you did a mistake, you can always correct it.

then there is the map view you can see where onbu is currently walking towards and if you are in harmony with onbu and it trusts you, you can encourage it to walk a way of your choice and if it trusts you enough, it will let you make the choice.

on the maps there are places you can interact with via your building of scavenging hang-gliders and when you give the order, they fly there to check it out, hoping to bring back resources and meanwhile unless it is sleeping, onbu keeps moving so you keep walking by new places to scavenge.

if i don't forget i try to upload some more screenshots but i think the game is worth a look. i recently got it for cheaper on steam. since the ground on which the city is built is moving and has to be managed too, this feels way more dynamic and alive then let's say playing sim city 4. also in sim city 4 you better build your special buildings in places you like because if you find a better spot for it later you have to destroy it and pay for it again, this ability to constantly improve upon small aspects deepens the management experience and allows to learn from mistakes while they happen, not when playing the game again some other time.

>Looks very cool. Where or on what do you play it?

i play this on the gaming pc and i bought it on steam, but it looks like this is available for all the consoles as well. they may have actually done it and make a game that should be playable just fine with a controller however not be so baby-easy that pc gamers are insulted by the lack of possibilities.

>I recall learning as a boy that there were ancient cultures that believed the plane of the earth was carried on the backs of large marine fish, sometimes turtles.

this is probably where they got their inspiration. they did include just enough cutscenes and quest-paintings to give the impression of an active, living world the game takes place. also they show onbu being friendly with the people who live on his back and even though this is purely fictional, it is also kind of heartwarming to see this god-like creature smiling upon the people who live on his back in harmony. i wouldn't know where to get an experience like that anywhere else.

Opioids could save many lives. Their only problem is how addictive they are, and the only solution to this is to make them available without a prescription. All the problems you see stemming from opioids and opiates are due to this very reason.

i believe the same to be true about responsible cannabis use, nice to hear someone using drugs to an advantage amidst the chaos of mindless consumer sheeple who are used by their drugs to become idiot zombies.

to someone who exists in organzational structures who explicitly exist to live without responsibility, the difficult puzzle of using substances with an effect might be too much. the average consumer might be too unconscious to listen to the body, figgure out doses, intervals and brakes from the substance because determining those requires responsibility, agency and attention to oneself. guys who eat candy are not gonna be able to manage a mind-enhancing substance intelligently so i appreciate you and your attitude.

the cure to this is to look into naturopathic medicine, herbs, detoxification, responsible eating. i am into these self-healing related topics and around me (meaning in my bubble) all i see is people wake up to what they can do with the intelligent use of bonaticals. in my bubble i see people getting way smarter, i don't know much about outside of the bubble though, i see a lot of people drinking coca cola which of course remains a strong indicator of people in general not getting it.

i keep thinking now (after covid) is the time of peak medical idiocy and every somewhat intelligent person who has still a minor interest in understanding cause and effect will no longer listen to the eugenic evils of the medical establishment. but i could be wrong, my bubble could give me a wrong impression. young people drinking energy drinks legitimately makes me sad because it subscribes them to a life of being a patient, when they could subscribe to a life of health and happiness if they decided to merely pursue health and happiness. their suffering is needless and one decisions could completely alter the path of the conveyor belt they are standing on.

Since the last decade, there have been sporadic threads here on wizchan and elsewhere around the net regarding dead Internet theory. I read these and brushed them off. I was continuing to have a palatable experience through the early 2020s. I used zero social media, so the bot problem, I felt, barely touched me directly. Not my problem; like a fat boomer grilling while a tornado shreds his neighbors backyard. Somehow, I continued to get something out of the net.

In the past three years or so, the bot problem has been compounded by the AI-generated content problem. The images do not bother me, nor do the videos. The music is just irritating. However, the text is a cancer.

Chatgpt and other LLMs have certain tics that puncture through any prompt intended to rectify these stylistic habits. These are well-known and well-mocked: the overuse of the en-dash, the justification of any hackneyed analysis by the "that's not X, that's Y", certain ways of blocking out text, the list goes on. The point is, after a while one sees these patterns, one hears these patterns when a hack on youtube recites a video essay.

It makes a piece of media immediately uninteresting to me. The content is liable to be depthless and generic, soul suckedout and sort of this same-old crap feel. Content generated by LLMs is all over now and spreading because people are human and lazy and also because bots. It's not hard for a midwit to leverage AI to become a video essayist catering to a bunch of people dumber than him. The result of this compounding is that increasingly it's like the bulk of the Internet's content comes from one hallucinating corporate mind laundered through the mouths (or copy-pastes) of a billion meatpuppets. The Internet is turning into a choir singing with the voice of a singular constructed mind.

There are these useless machine-generated webpages polluting search results with complete waste of time procedural websites. And the search engines themselves put an AI-generated answer before any of the traditional spidered results (the first several of which are predatory sponsored results). And of course, we now have armies of bots armed with LLMs as essentially psyop weapons driving siloed communities to utter detachment from reality, with a wider effect of making many of the actual humans still using the net psychologically rabid abusive cunts.

None of these observations are new. All of this is documented before. There are a thoPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

You can't change a person's perspective on anything, specially if you're in a position of disadvantage from the start. That's the case for every son x parents dynamics.

Maybe bad luck is real, but whatever I lay my hands on usually ends up more damaged then fixed
Id like to say electronics are a hobby, but i have destroyed more then I repaired

And I couldnt get the replacement to work either
There are very few times I have tried something and got positive results
I have been fired from every job i have ever gotten quickly
I have been learning japanese for 3 years now and I have seen other people become fluid but despite the time I poured in I still suck
Its very hard to explain to other people, they will say "you have to try more or try something different"
But I am trying and failing
Its not that im just seeing the negatives, when I actually succeed at something it makes me very happy but its a rare feeling for me
I try things, even follow tutorials and it never turns out well for me
I have ruined many things I love by trying to fix an issue and breaking them irrepairably

Does anyone here struggle with alcohol, or have managed to quit?

It used to be a good coping mechanism for me, but it seems the older I've gotten the worse it feels, and it's become detrimental to my health and the way I behave around people. Easily annoyed, constantly starting shit, tired all the time, strange pains. And I was still getting worse, fast.

This has been a wake-up call and I'm realizing I need to quit before it's too late. Though that's easy for me to say now when I'm still feeling bad, and I fear the cravings will come back strong, but I know I've got to try.

Curious to hear others experience with this.

Wizards, I'm really uncertain about my situation right now and would like your advice, since this is a matter that I think only you would be able to fully appreciate.

I was a NEET and borderline hikki for about 8 years during my mid-20s. I was very content during that time, because the NEET lifestyle actually suits me very much: I'm extremely introverted and don't crave many material possessions. Because of that, I never sought the social stimulation or the monetary compensation of work.

However, my situation changed and I had to find a job, as my prior source of minimal income disappeared.

I was very fortunate to find a remote job that pays decently, even though I only have a HS degree. I've been in that job for over 5 years now. Due to my aforementioned frugal lifestyle, I was able to save enough money that I think will last me over a decade.

With this in mind, my question is this. My greatest wish right now is to resign from this job and return to being a NEET. It's a question that bothers me every day. However, I fear that this job is sort of a unique opportunity, and that I won't be able to find anything similar, once I run out of money. I even considered doing things like day trading so I can extend the duration of my savings.

What would you do in a scenario like this? Keep your somewhat comfy WFH job or just return to NEEtdom?

Police don't give a damn nowadays, they won't investigate anything nowadays unless you get murderered or are a member of a special minority group. I don't want to derrail with politics but yesterday some autistic 17yo frenchie got beaten to death after reporting to the police that they had assaulted him a few weeks prior, reporting with footage included that the police just ignored. what I'm trying to say is you can no longer rely on police for protection. I'm a hikikomori so I don't go out but if I had to I have some tools ready, something like a phillips screwdriver will give you plausible deniability if carrying weapons is not legal in your country (aka every country except USA).

I think that today, autistic and witchy people have a huge advantage over neurotypical people. We have extensive knowledge on a wide variety of subjects, we are determined in the face of adversity, and even if we are socially awkward or find it difficult to talk to people (this is my case, I am socially isolated) we can come together in these spaces and stop forcing social contact with neighbors or parents who ask us for the umpteenth time why we still don't have any friends or a girlfriend. Personally, I'd rather go online to investigate the Epstein case than have friends, and I think that's the case for many of you here. The others are completely ridiculous with their social codes to follow. They restrict themselves in terms of intellectual capacity in a completely stupid way to appear socially acceptable because the norm prefers a dumb athlete to a brilliant intellectual. That's why most people prefer athletes like soccer players or basketball players to Gregori Perelman, who solved Poincaré's conjecture. This whole circus is completely ridiculous. People make fun of their neighbors when they themselves are stupid, but to reassure themselves, they say that others are stupid and criticize us because we are not “within the norm.” We do not accept the social contract imposed by popular dogma, which wants us to we criticize to reassure ourselves without accumulating knowledge. Also, do people really compare their time spent on TikTok or Instagram to the knowledge in books, articles, and other sources before criticizing others? Maybe we should look in the mirror and accept that we are trash in order to change and follow a virtuous path that respects others. That's why we're here discussing this: we need to create a close-knit community and distance ourselves from the idiots who criticize us, keeping only those who understand us.And besides, it's not AI that's going to save these idiots. They need to rediscover what it means to read books, to dream, and to use their brains.

No one is "normal" as long as the list of things required to be "normal" is long enough.

Sorry my engrish
Functional autist people got support and good healthy behaviour bacause they got good socialization as young.
If you never got a good support or healthy behaviour or good socialization later your gonna go full into isolation and little by little these isolation gonna make you total retard anyway bacause social isolation make that into your brain.
I at university and at times the feeling of out of place and loniless hurt a lot.
I the autist in a poor family with no treatment in a third world country obbseded with shity freudian psychoanalysis and not science.
Yep, at times i feel like a retard in university and my attention spam maybe is not so focused in my discipline or routines.
The neurodivergent thing at this point its an insult to me.
And yes, i secretly want the feeling of human contact or the feeling of "be" like a human being with friends or a stupid girlfriend or something but i know that very little probable to happen bacause i feel like a outcast i my race and the unique way to them to treat me in a more possible way "human" or maybe normal or normie is just dont giving much info or personal info, larp or acting like normal and mimitizing in a damn stupid hardcore way the damn stupid behaviour they have just to "pass" a little. But in reality i fucking tired of this shit at times i just want to escape from this world, still the idea of love or friends or even a "job" or good utility for humanity or animals is beatiful idea and avway to live to me but… what the purpose if gonna suffer a lot and they never gonna treat me like a damn human being?
I not suicidal or deppresive, i just tired.
That's why sometimes and back in time i enjoyed a lot scapism like mmo, IRC chats, chans, reading thing, book hobbies, art and craft, listening music, etc. But i got tired of computers and artificial lights, bacause the more i go full in these worlds, the more i feel less human and more like a damn robot.
I dont want to die alone, i dont to die without love or the feeling of humanity, sometimes i feel total dehumanized and other times i just cry in plain sight but hidden in these "social acting" structure, bacause i want thing that maybe i never gonna get in this life.
The more simple i got in my approach of life, the more happy i got.

>They restrict themselves in terms of intellectual capacity in a completely stupid way to appear socially acceptable because the norm prefers a dumb athlete to a brilliant intellectual

it is just for a while, you haven't to act like that all the time. You must to recognize the moment. Of course, you don't know this because you are socially insolated (lol)

Normies started calling all kinds of people autistic, and now lots of people believe they have autism and this causes their behavior.
It used to be a very narrowly defined psychiatric condition.

Thank you. I'm high functioning and it's torture. Sure I'm immune to propaganda and normalfag BS as you said but otherwise I'm retarded. I like to learn about niche topics but it takes me longer to grasp concepts than an NPC. I'm functional enough to have a 'regular' albeit solitary life but too retarded to ever properly connect with anyone and I'm aware of why it is. Lower function autists either get to be blissfully unaware or are given passes for their behavior. I'd love a pass to clasp my hands over my ears and bodh slam someone next to me for being too loud but can't. Autism for me is pure agony every fucking day, a mental prison.

Has anyone read 5e's fucking Ravenloft?
Just some of the horrid shit in it:
>Strahd's played off as what amounts to Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Angelus levels of edge, literally feels nothing and seemingly has no interests above the usual, though not for the same Bram Stoker's Dracula tier reasons, Literally just wants Tatanya as if a meaningless trophy on his belt
>These dumb faggots made it so that Strahd wants to turn whatsherface not into a vampire bride, or hell, even a true vampire, BUT VAMPIRE SPAWN (You know, sniveling wall crawling nosebleed assface monster vamps?)
>Tatanya's a nigger
>The reincarnation is a nigger
>Strahd's wives are niggers
>Nigger Mayor of a town surrounding the land
>Evil white "everything is fine man"
>Strahd's a Bisexual sodomite degenerate with two male consorts to boot
>Made Barovians "Diverse"
>Made Strahd's conquering of the land sound tyrannical as fuck and less just
>Made it so that Some have Barovians have souls and some don't because of 5e's ravenloft being in a private demiplane, stopping newborn bodies from getting souls, in a piss-poor attempt to mimick the Old demiplanes of dread thing where some residents are literally just NPCs made by the powers, even though this makes no sense to anyone who's had to deal with Gulthias in 3.5 and Ashradorn in the whole Soul font thing with the ban on unborn souls in lore, so these people should be getting souls, because otherwise the demiplane would have to deny all positive energy for this shit to even remotely work
>All done because they're too lazy to redo the demiplanes of dread just like before,
>Strahd now heals for 20 in his fast heal
>Mongrel Men are the results of Racemixing past the half-race stage suffer for it, check their description and it's fucking played off as a good thing despite them being ugly mutants beyond redemption in their racial descriptions, the self-unawareness is real

This is why warhammer roleplay and castle drachenfels will always be superior

Hello anon!

>About the game, I quit about 5 months ago and it was a mistake. I miss it more than I hated it.
Ah, sorry to hear that. I'm sure you had good reasons to quit after so long.
Have you ever ran your own game, or thought of doing so?

>Happy to know you started your own game. How is it going?
I have stopped running it, mostly due to the reasons I mentioned. My motivation dried up, and at some point it started to feel like a chore.
It lasted long enough, and the players were certainly enjoying it, if I'm going by their near perfect attendance, engagement during play, and long sessions often ending later than reasonable on week nights. It was also the best campaign I ever ran, having perfected my methods from previous ones, and that was good. But I lost the spark eventually, and sooner than I expected too.

>Even if things don't go smoothly here or there, who gives a fuck, right? At least that's how I see it as a player.
That's my issue as a GM, I'm too autistic about running the system rules-as-written. It makes for a rewarding and meaningful experience for the players, and while I'm good at running it this way, it's a lot of work. I could certainly gain from being more flexible, but even as a player, when things are too loose or when I sense the GM is cutting corners, I tend to lose interest because it stops feeling like a game with strict rules I can win or lose at.

Anyway, like yourself, I have been reading stuff again, old gaming magazines from the 80s. The spark is never completely dead.

There wasn't a good reason, it's just that I tend to focus on the negative side of anything I'm doing. I quit because I thought I was going to dedicate myself to reading more books, but of course, in the end, I barely read shit anyways and now I'm outta game. I'll probably find a new group on Roll20.

How long did it take you to call it quits with your campaign? I hope you had fun with it. Maybe it's best to have shortish games that end after some months so people can recharge, instead of turning it into a fucking religion the way me and the guys were doing. The first couple of weeks after I left I truly felt like I had escaped from a cult. And now I want back into the fold. I'm almost inclined to give a hollow laugh.

I prefer strict rules myself, but I'm not dead set on them. I do very strongly prefer no fudging to save the characters, no matter what. You can only have true consequences from your decisions if the world is not conspiring in favor of the PCs.

It is fun. It's way better than any video game out there, that's for sure.

>How long did it take you to call it quits with your campaign?
It ran for about 6 months, and when I really got tired of it I gave myself another session to see if my motivation would return (as it often did), but it didn't. And the funny thing is that the campaign was at a point where it could expand to the overworld and such, with lots of opportunities for development, but after each session, I was getting less and less enjoyment from the whole thing.

Now I'm thinking of doing some solo adventure, playing as one of those yeti monsters (>>70680) and dwelling in a dungeon, looking for human encounters to devour their brains and gain their powers.

That's a respectable run. You can get a lot done in six months. Most online games don't last four sessions, let alone several months.

Man I tried solo games but I just can't do it. The wealth of bizarre shit that happens when five nerds get together to play these games just can't be matched by solo play. At least not for me. In many ways solo is the best way to play it because you don't depend on others. I really like that part. It's basically a video game. Pick up and put it down whenever you want. If only I could get into it.

Anyway, I already caved and found another group. We'll be playing through a module this time, about 20 sessions, so about the size of your campaign. Not enough time for me to start hating on rpgs which is good. I can't wait to delve into musty corridors and throw some dice. We start next week. I'll report back.

I'm eager to hear your report.
If you don't like it, at least the module will end at some point.
