So, after the new price for the Switch 2 games, 90 USA bucks, this new normal will make gaming a expensive hobby, here in my third world country, the price in my local currency will be even higher, to a absurd degrees, gaming in couple of years will be for those with money or just straight up pirates, but I'm a NEET with not a lot of moneyt to invest into a PC gaymer, so what's some hoobies to do there are cheap and acessiabale?

If you want to continue playing video games, without spending a ton of money on the new stuff coming out, I genuinely suggest playing titles from the 2000's or even 90's and 80's through things like emulation, it's cheap, often free even, and there's literally enough video games to keep you occupied for the rest of your life without you having to spend money on any new ones, it's nice…

Are any wizards interested in astrology? I've recently got into it and become very passionate about it. It's definetely true, and i've also started to developing my own theories that i'm hopefully going to refine with time.

its kind of hard to do casually it's complicated. If you want a really lazy thing:
1. go to https://horoscopes.astro-seek.com/birth-chart-horoscope-online
2. put in date of birth, time, and birth city (don't bother if you don't have the exact time)
3. save the page as a pdf
4. put it in claude or some ai thing
5. ask the most significant parts of your chart

the reason they had particular astrologers do readings is just because it's fairly complex. Things like sun sign being all people talk about is basically useless IMO (historically they would have used the ascendent as the "sign" when someone asked)
if anyone wants to post their chart from this I can give a quick reading (just enter it on astro-seek then click the button that says Hide birth data under the chart)

>>69627
>>67793
succubi being the ones into it is largely a product of it being hijacked by new-agers in the 19th century, they are basically just so fucking retarded and wrong they aren't even worth talking about. As I said above anyone saying just their sun sign is just totally out of touch.
Only in the past couple decades have we started translating the classical greek/medieval texts and that more traditional form has gotten much more popular. It's also basically all men doing the translations and that wrote those thousands of years ago.

One thing I always wanted to know, does astrology also influence animal personalities based on when they are born, or only humans? Why or why not?

It's just kinda weird to think that one planet being more to the left or more to the right when I was born influences whether I grow up introverted or extroverted.

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?
