I don't feel comfortable sharing my /x/ fantasies here because some cryptonormie is gonna shit on it. You know how you can really like a song, but then you hear some normie listening to it on a bus or something, and the song is ruined for you? It's like that.

But it has to do with souls having genders; there are feminine souls, and there are masculine souls. And yes, one can be a soul in an opposite-gender body.

No, that is mental illness

Chaos Magick is the only kind of occult phenomena that verges on seeming plausible. The idea that perception affects reality.
Interesting video from a Scottish comic book writer on chaos magick/occultism.

I'm trying to start. Until the end of the week I want to model the lighthouse from Wii Sports Resort.

>>69731
u can fuck around with the 3d models that have been posted online too https://www.reddit.com/r/wii/comments/q20pg9/i_ported_wuhu_island_to_blender/

>>69729
It looks astonishing anon, Making a entire animation by yourself sound hard, So I wish you luck. Great job and keep going!

>>69734
Sure but I wanted to learn it anyways so I want to do it by myself. Goal is to 'remake' Wuhu Island at some point.

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)

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 studying astrology for a year now, focusing on horary astrology. The problem is that I don't have anywhere to practice. I was thinking about using this thread, but I don't think it would be the right use.

>>69703
And yes, I meditate, but honestly, I don't see it as spiritual thing.
it's more a a way to relax to me.

why the hell can't I download it, or anything else from github? I get NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID

I can already do that with my imagination. You can see images in your mind, right wizzie?

I found a board in an alt chan dedicated to the same idea. They are obbsesed with emmy the robot. Some of them want tesla to create something similar. The should know Elon Musk is a cia agent and a nsa asset. That guy would be nothing without subventions.

Wow that's smart. And for d6 numbers you could just use a base 6 number system.

>>69668
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?

that's irrelevant to the discussion we were having because we were talking about time for schopenahauer who, being a transcendental idealist, sees it as being one of the forms of the mind and not of things in themselves.

>>69133
>No. You can have an a priori representation of space alone in geometry, for example.
oh yeah, that's a subtlety i wasn't considering when i asked. i had in mind empirical representation and not pure intuition. still, i think that's a strange chart to convey the basics of his system.

I think the whole backlash over AI is really just a clash of dualist vs materialist view of consciousness under the hood. I was thinking about why so many people are against AI. It doesn't make sense why even people whose jobs is safe from AI would still hate it so I hypothesize that they are offended because it challenged their worldview. They seethe because they subconsciously see it as a threat to their non-physical view of consciousness. Even the sub-100 iq working man who doesn't know anything about philosophy or humanities have a certain way of understanding the world. They may not be able to put it to words or even are aware of it, but the majority of the common folk are dualist and see the mind/soul and physical world as separate. Machines can do what the physical body do. They too can relent computers doing calculations. Most people are hates doing math anyway. The real realm of humanity is in our emotions, love, virtue, and the most straightforward of way of expressing these is through art and communication between each other. AI showing signs of simulating both art and verbal composition is an attack on this view. That's why they are so angry about AI and keep harping about soulessness while the people who support AI are materialists and they never care or believe in soul in the first place. AI is just a placeholder for human identity. It's like having simple-minded religious parents whose argument for god's existence is that the bible says so and then you share with them some atheistic argument you see on the internet. Of course they'll lash out.

Extremely condensed summary I made of Schopenhauer's World as Will and Representation.

Yesterday, I was reading an article that forwards this answer:
>The philosophy is thus established as an art of existence to learn, precisely, how to live.
This makes me think that everybody can do philosophy because it is a way to face our everyday issues.
>if you're a brainlet you need everything be told by others
See above, I said "do philosophy", not "learn philosophy". I did this because I think the value of philosophy is not in what we are thaught, but in how we reflect.
The value is in the processing we do that then creates a change in how we face life. Note, that, if you take it this way, it doesn't really matter if you agree with the big shots like Plato or some Harvard PHd.
The same article then continues:
>It is, again following Hadot, a way of existence characterized by three fundamental aspects: spiritual peace (ataraxia), inner freedom (autarkeia), and cosmic consciousness (megalopsuchia) or the awareness of belonging to the entire human community.

It's a really cool subject.

> Researchers have applied statistical analyses and machine learning models to study symbol patterns, suggesting some linguistic-like structure, but not enough to confirm a full decipherment.
Do we know which language phylum the language belongs to? If we could crack the script without this, I'd be scared of what AI is capable of.
