One thing that completely captivates my interest and imagination is reading about genocides. Some might perceive it as an immature morbid fascination, but for me I think genocide connects aspects of history, politics and human psychology I find interesting.

I collect certain things related to genocide. I have a ‘srbosjek’ - a Serb cutter. The hand knife was used to cut the throats of Serbs during the genocide by the Croatian Ustasze.

I have always thought that beneath the veneer of human civility and empathy, most humans are under certain conditions capable of psychopathic acts of cruelty. Humans bend to social pressure with ease and our empathy is not as strong as it is performed. Lord of the Flies is an understatement.

I visited Cambodia and was really blown away by the history there. The ideology of the Khmer Rouge was fascinating. The number of people that took part in the genocide and only 3 were prosecuted.

It is very difficult to find some actual information on genocides which isn't tainted by politics or propaganda. I wonder why politicians and governments have such a fixation on this stuff. Maybe it is simply because they were committed by political regimes.

Any wizards play yugioh?

I collect the cards, though I don't really play the game. I'm 26 and still live with my parents as a hikki, so my parents are trying to force me to get a hobby to get me out of the house so I"m thinking of playing the game at my local card shop

I played some Yu-Gi-Oh! with my older sister yesterday, Forbidden Memories rules since we grew up on that. It was a lot of fun! I'm leaving my parents' house soon though, just came by to visit for the weekend, this got me in a Yu-Gi-Oh! mood yet again, I might play some more today, and when I'm home I think I'll pop in a video game to play solo as I come from work.

I'm 30 and I don't play it, but I used to in elementary school. 2 succ actually stole my pack of cards but got caught and had to give it back.
I remember really enjoying playing this game with other kids on the playground but they tried to steal or swindle these rare or expensive cards I had acquired.
I'm not familiar with the current game, but as I see it back then it had this early 2000s feeling/atmosphere about it which made it so fun together with the anime and the GB/GBA games. It must have lost this feeling surrounding it.

When I used to drink tea, I liked this basic very cheap black tea from the discount supermarket. Basically a generic version of pic related, tastes good with lemon and sugar.
However I've become a caffeine addict, and I now tinker and specialise in coffee, which takes up my "drinking liquid" slots of the day.
Tea definitely is respectable and I would still drink it if I didn't need my caffeine.

Do you have a driver's licence? If so, how did you managed to obtain it? In Eastern Europe, it's pretty hard to get one, a long and painful journey.

It took me almost 1.5 years (including the COVID shutdowns) to get one. I also had to wageslave to be able to pay for the training, it's not cheap around here.

My motivation was that I live in a remote, hilly part of a small town, right next to a forest and there is no public transportation here. I was hold hostage up here, totally isolated. Sound good, but I was totally dependant on my parents to get into the town. I couldn't just go to the groceries, that would be a 2+ hour journey.

It's my single greatest achievement and I'm pretty proud of it. Driving is very useful skill, and one that is realistic and obtainable for NEETs, wizards. A way to make yourself more independent from your parents, others.

What are your thoughts?

US has 14.2 traffic fatalities per 100k. China has 17.4. For reference Sweden is the lowest major country with 2.1 and Zimbabwe is the highest at 41.2. So there's not really much difference between the US and China. China has actually implemented stronger standards recently too and competition in the marketplace is such that unsafe cars don't sell well.

No, they make this absurdly expensive in my country, talking about the fees to get it.
But I also live in a city in Europe where I can walk to most things, don't even have to use a bike or public transport, so I can get away with this.
Living in one of those ultra-American suburbs where everyone uses vehicles seems unreal to me.

Recently I've been getting into photography. I've found that after doing so, I perceive moments in different ways. Things simultaneously seem more transient, yet more permanent. It's a sensation that's difficult to describe, except to say that I am more 'aware' of the moments around me. For obvious reasons I have avoided urban areas, but in terms of landscapes and natural shots, it is quite peaceful.

Any photography hobbyists here?

Yeah that one. And the elf being the king/hero of some prophecy or something, being forced to kill a child to save something greater, except the kid wasn't a kid but some illusion or shapeshifter who orchestrated it, because what the elf was supposed to "kill" was his "innocence". It was just getting too pretentious for me and I dropped it.

This reminds me of another 2 video game related webcomics.
- Goblins one which I dropped when it had a "pseudo rape" arc. Some bald human barbarian and lamia chick had a nice thing going, but lamia is cursed to forget about him and she prepares to leave him when he uses some magic item to make her stop which triggered her PTSD flashback of being raped by some other dude before. Then the artist dumped some huge ass sobstory on the website about how his mom was raped or something and even a small interview with her. I dunno if it was an elaborate joke or not but I just dropped it at that point.

- Order of the Stick. Was nice for a while but then at some point the story pivots to "but umm have you considered that goblins are only evil because of socio-economic factors and it's in fact humans that are bad?" which also caused me to drop it.

It's been a while so I may not be remembering this properly.

Pretty degenerate. Thought he made a new webcomic because a lot of his original stuff had guest artists who were already integrated into his storylines. Didn't update or slowed for a while but I sent him a sympathy email when next to one of his comics he talked about being pushed out of a friend group because of a succubus. Then he did one or two more updates after that.

One dumb comic I followed for a while (because it was something to follow) was a lego comic based on star wars and star trek.

I like the fall. Summer is way too hot and makes normies run around and party outside. In the fall when it gets colder they already start to stay inside more. So I can take my time walking along the same path as always and admire the color of the changing leaves and wonder how many times I will walk this path before this time of my life comes to a close as well. Perhaps I will miss these mundane scenes one day. Perhaps I will forget them entirely. But for now I am comfy and enjoying the sights.

I've been interested more and more about the power of daydreaming. I think that if my daydreaming ability was extremely advanced, that it would activate an entirely new level of self-actualization for myself.

To this end, I've been looking for ways to enhance my ability to daydream, and have recently gotten interested in writing fiction (which there's already a thread here about it >>59403 ), tulpas (plenty of threads about that stuff), and in solo roleplaying. I don't see anything about solo roleplaying games, though, so I thought I'd make a thread about it.

I've tried solo roleplaying before in very naive attempts, but you run across the obvious pitfall: the temptation to metagame your character against knowledge that should only be privy to the GM or other characters is just too much. Quickly, it becomes unrealistic. I'm just getting started in this space, so I don't know a whole lot, but some of the systems (oracle systems like Mythic GM, for example) and techniques (solo episode journaling) that have been developed are a lot more advanced and appealing than I thought they'd be.

If anyone knows about any good solo RP systems or thoughts about it, please share.

I've put some thought in trying to make the system as bare bones as absolutely possible and this is what I have so far. Each successive iteration I've been stripping out more and more until this is what I'm left with so far. I still don't know if the categories quite make sense/work in my playtesting so far, even though I can force them to work…
My main issue atm are the action/theme oracles. In practice, I find I do need them to be that small so that the whole system "fits in human memory" without too much effort for a new player. By making them "multiplicative" I can capitalize on the exponential compression to really expand their power, e.g., you "roll" 3 times to get a word for each category, and the word combination defines the theme/noun or action/verb. This allows me to "fit" a lot more words into the same space. However, I find the theme/action oracle to still be really abstract to work with in playtesting so far. It's hard to bullshit up a MBTI/Compass system to define nouns/verbs.
The fate oracle I think works well when you play with the principle of "If you aren't willing to accept 3:7 or 7:3 odds, then don't bother with the fate oracle and just have it happen in the game."
Idk, I'm going to do a bit more playtesting to see if I can even out the action/theme oracle kinks.
I've got a more complete writeup I'm working on w/examples/etc., but I wanted to make sure I could at least get it not only on a single page, but on a single page with plenty of white space and DEAD simple (it's got to be done all in your head!).
Again, I don't know if I'll be arsed to finish up the full writeup, but whatever. I find the full writeup interesting as it not only explains all the design choices so far, but also explains what I've noticed in some other playtesting, which is that the system seems to have far more applications than just games.

Been playtesting some more, and the main issue I've come across is using the theme oracle. There are the specific words I choose in the theme oracle are giving me..bad vibes.
It's also not just that I can "represent" as many things as possible with as few words as possible, but I have to make the weightings of those representations be things more likely to carry a story. For example, one time I was playtesting and hit "ethereal" like three times in a row and was like, "O.k., come on, I don't want to make a @#$!ing pantheon right now!"
I think I can fix it by choosing the word categorizations more carefully, and being more willing to completely avoid certain categories, but…I'm not an ontologist.

I just had a thought. If I incorporated toki pona's ontology, I think that might help. Also, if I gave the player choice at each vertex of the triangles between a word or it antonym, that might help too?

I swear there was a thread for this. Oh well. My first attempt at doing something in Godot. It's mostly code spaghettied together from tutorials and reading the engine's documentation. Let me know if you play it, and definitely let me know if you manage to beat it. The pain level is hard but doable. AD for movement and J or W for jumping, Enter for start. Gamepads also work.
