I have read few text on magic but it requires many leaps of faith just like religion, just like anything really. I yawned and closed the book. Maybe it is as true as anything else but man, I don't care.

I am exhausted by things and knowledge.

If you're gonna seek something obscure why don't you try something which actually delivers like neoplatonism. I'm sorry but this just looks to me like some scam for normies

Qliphoth traveller here, i fornicate with the demon queens and they teach me debaouchery and magick in dreams. Basically i'm still stuck at lust. I went beyond but found out it's fucking horrible (nofap,semen retention). It's like the soul stands bare before the almighty. This spehere is brutal, took me about six months of this shit to give up. So went back to Lilith,Naamah,Babalon, Ishtar and all the other aspects of Venus. Beautiful, warm pleasure But i gotta go through this sphere to cross the abyss and become that black diamond. Free from the loop, free from the wheel doing whatever the fuck i want. Warning though, once you start this journey there's no getting off, you either burn or ascend. Horrible things will happen to your soul,mind and body. The alternative is coming back to this shithole. The other way, is that dark soul piercing evil that child molestors do like that guy from The True Detective or Epstein. You entrap souls in that awful awful loop and you get more free everytime you do it. The dark side of indian mages know this, they eat the dead, rape their sisters/mothers and know they ascend. The path to God is horrible.

what kind of magick do they teach you?
or do i have to learn it myself from them?

I've always had an interest in magic, but I'm kind of over at this point. Over the better part of nearly 15 years I've dabbled in and explored every tradition imaginable, sought out every book I could, even went looking for practitioners (guru's and masters) in real life and I never found anything that satisfied me.
All the Golden Dawn derived stuff is trash, the Solomonic grimoire tradition is nonsense as well, all the New Age witchcraft stuff is hokey too. Even the niche stuff barely anybody's heard about is nonsense. Nobody can actually do magic, or convincingly demonstrate any abilities. All occultists are fat bald guys that seem to die prematurely. If magic is out there it's certainly hidden from everyone, and all the material available on it is a bunch of nonsense.

Have you studied the military structure of the Eastern Front Einsatzgruppen?
it's a thing I personally am working on, even if it's super complex.

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.

Why is this so true xD

heh just laughed out loud like a dinkey at a 5 year old picture

I play on duelingnexus
https://duelingnexus.com/home
Its fan-made and free, so no pay to win or grinding for the cards you want, all cards are unlocked for everyone right from the start

>>70453
oh wow i was hoping something like this exists.

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.

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.

My car's dead, I live far from work, I'm broke, repairing it's really expensive, but buying a new car is impossible.

I hate living.

Got rear ended and havent had a car since
miss her

>>68029
I hate how I hate to drive so much every day… often I get close to being involved in accidents and it reminds me that a small mistake can cause so much damage, I could become crippled or simply die because of a stupid error, maybe hurt or kill someone and ruin my life feeling guilty for ruining someone else. How do you guys deal with these odd feelings?

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.

i have created a wizardly video game if anyone is interested in playing.

lmfao!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>70449
fake screenshot. the game is neither password-protected nor a virus.

how viable is vibe coding for someone who doesn't know how to code? worth doing or no?

>>70448
impressive

>>70371
This one right? Looking for Group. If I am not hallucinating, they were done by the people who did "Least I Could Do". Was nice, but yes they went super serious. The undead not actually being undead or something?
I'm not sure if the creators always were, but I dropped them when they didnt hide their leftism. I thin a decade ago I kinda checked on them and saw that they turned the "suck of a buck" hooker in to a FtM Tranny.

>>66244
I also wanted to create comics just like this.

>>66244
>>70377
What holds you back? There are plenty of comics that arent perfectly drawn but still managed to get cult like status, p.E. Tails gets Trolled

>>70375
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.
>>66244
>>66544
the GOATs. Don't think they update any more though, or I think Blastwave just did a spinoff and stuck with that.
>>70375
I found it reddit tier, like deadpool for fantasy.

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.

>>70010
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.

>>69674
Draft v.1

>>69679
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

>>70316
>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
