Quote from: droqenthe best roleplaying experiences that ive had have been ones where i use the activity of roleplaying to tap into facets of myself, and it does not really feel like creation, it feels more like ... ah, i don't like the word expression, but i guess expression
creation is a side effect because it is taking something that i don't normally get to embody and bringing it to the surface
from the outside, and maybe even from the unexamined inside, it probably looks like creation, but it is more like a 'revealing' than creating and it's nice to perform that act in an environment that feels like it will be accepted and even expanded upon

Quote from: jackThe history didn't reveal itself to you as you played, making it interesting. You weren't searching for its meaning, or for it to give meaning to itself. You already had it.

from yesterday, the monday

notes, thoughts
Quotethere is nothing mystical or scientific
about moon watching

it is simply there,
a great circle of white
beyond reproach.

things created
- began an unnamed godot project, recreating for the third time the idea of a platformer where you can type commands anywhere you like to cast spells. stayed up until like 2am, rapt. very little content, but the pure mechanics & presentation are a joy

being social
- meant to meet with felix, but did not due to rain and sick
- tweeted "a day's events do not particularly happen in order"
- many tbt events, among us
- splatoon at 3-4am
- mom texted me a video of a person speaking chinese even though she knows i dont speak chinese. she asked me about which thumb goes on top of which thumb. right brain left brain thing. such superstition... oh and something about china 'admitting' to GMO...

make a thing every day in the spirit of 31 unmarked games, but not necessarily a game; respect the work you've done; see (the badly named) wholeness of action

when the moon becomes new, stop gathering; start connecting and reflecting

release something on the night of the full moon.

do not make plans.

i believe that this state requires a low degree of thought. encountering 'interestingness' is the opposite of being the transparent, whole, integrated, 🌕 self. . . the complete graph . . .

hmm. what is the complete stance?

there can be no system higher than that of embodying your self

roleplaying a facet of the self, requires a relatable role. relating to the world. relating. connecting, being connected.

the emotion of getting in touch with the self, as it pertains to relating to other people... seeing yourself clearly and in a positive light. i guess you could call this life-affirming. maybe self-affirming? i'm not sure
