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.

Good call.
I think I should go for a walk in the park too.
Regards, >>70007

>>64294
But what about posting park lains?

This is the first genuine complement I've received in a long time, and I think the first complement I've come across on a chan, ever. Thanks.
Sage because this post is sappy.

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.

Draft v.1

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 just started this one, it's far from complete.

>>69433
ok good luck🍀

>>69433
I would like to post about my own game development once i have something good to show. Would that be okay?

>>69282
should share source code. other wise assume it is malware

>Give me full access to your programming work for free or I will consider it to be evil software and advocate against anyone downloading it

Sorry GNUtard, even if you had the code and managed to compile it through a decent C# compiler running on Wine, your castrated Thinkpad T240 wouldn't be able to this game.

I like reading news 1 hour/day

I used to watch netcams a few years back since I couldn't afford to travel. The exciting part was finding snow on the ground or people watching.

>>70133
whats the most memorable thing you saw?

>>70134
Nothing worthy of shock videos online or anything, but more of a life/outlook observation: strip back the systems of control - government, religion, wealth (and wealth disparity). What's left are people just trying to get through their day. They probably won't be anything great, and after a generation or two most will be forgotten. I'm cool with that and aspire to non-greatness myself.

>>69451
can you share the link to watch that place?
I want to watch places up close but the ones I found weren't

>>67903
hello, wizzy. can you share more of your art?

Playing cards are almost like a video game console. There are thousands of single and multiplayer games you can play with one deck. More if you have two or four. You can invent your own games, throw in dice or coins or whatever complex mechanics you can dream up. I enjoy playing different variants of solitaire. You can turn on music or the TV in the background if needed.

>>70231
tbf you could probably do running competitions, archery, javelin throws, etc in the hippodrome

I have flatest feet possible, so much it is now ruins my knees. But back when I attempted sports, I bought soft yet bouncy insoles that were tremendously helpful.

I'd count drawing if you go for digital, get a tablet and a stylus, and then you're good to go! Even cheaper ones work well, I use a cheap used tablet and a capacitive stylus.

You can buy a cards and learn how to play

I like the game but I can't play it.
What I mean is that I suck, and I don't get any better however much I play or try to read go books. I do enjoy it but I also feel tense as I have to keep myself from making impulse moves and think my moves, but reading different variations gets very taxing and I end up making a mess..
I like the fights, though. I like breaking into a seemingly safe territory and living.

so wizzies did you try learning go?

>>69349
Few years ago. Watched a anime about it and got curious. Learned a bit more about the rules and basic strategy then played online a bit. Found it kind of boring and full games tedious so just stopped.

At this point I am pretty sure I forgot all the strategies I learned and most of the rules.
Also never played once in real life or even knew another person in real life who knew how to play it.
With chess it was mainly a way of bonding between my father and me, so it will always have that connection even though I have fallen out with the game. But with Go there is zero connection for me in my personal life. No strong memories.

>>69350
I see, I want to learn chess and go too

>>65914
I hated Chess so much
>>69349
I'm going to try purchasing a set if it's cheap

I was reading Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor.

What's the wizzies consensus on Revered Insanity? Kino or thrash?

I need the coin with the Jersey flag to complete my gibraltar Charlemagne collection, don't know which coins I'd like to collect next

Sorry, I was taking a break from Wizchan for the past couple of months to focus on other priorities.

I used to enjoy penny hunting too. I would always run a magnet over the rolls first and then open any that were magnetic and take out the 1943 cents, then go through the rest. I mostly got mine through coin dealers instead of banks, so it was mostly wheat pennies with some Indian heads mixed in.

Washington has not changed as far as I can tell, but I believe that they are using a new die. Probably changed out the die for the "Crossing the Delaware" quarter. They should have stuck with Washington themed quarters, kind of like the Life of Lincoln pennies from 2009. Unfortunately, I do not see these sort of special series in common denominations returning aside from the succubi of color quarters, which, as far as I can tell, nobody really likes.

Personally, I would change the dime, though. I prefer Mercury to FDR (I have the gold Mercury dime from a while ago), so I would like to see a return to that, but if it had to be a president, then Theodore Roosevelt or Ulysses S. Grant would be my choices and would give some good opportunities for different reverses (early life, military careers, etc.).

I wish you the best of luck in finding a job. I won big on scratch-offs, so I am pretty okay, despite also not having a job at the moment. My last job I quit after 11 months because it was off the book and paid comically low. I usually do well with off the book jobs (usually $20-30k/year with no taxes), this job was $1200/year because the boss kept charging "expenses" (it would have been $30k, but the boss took 97% of it away and gave me a list of bullshit reasons). What you get when you work off the book, so I cannot be upset (though I did work over 4000 hours for the money, which works out to be a little under $0.30/hour).

I guess I could sell all my bullion and coins and be able to live for a few years on it, but I would rather wait a little bit longer before then.

Got a job across the country years ago and was interesting to see the different mint marks. never seen many S marks east of the rockies. ended up finding
>4 war nickles
>1 steel penny
>handful of silver dimes
>$2 in silver quarters
>3 40% half dollars
at the time, 2019, i figured the odds of finding silver quarters in rolls was at least 1:10,000. the steel penny was the coolest though. always heard of them but never seen one in the wild

Krugerrands are very nice, they're cheaper than U.S or Canadian and they're very recognized, also they're an alloy so they're scratch resistant
