Alright, you have to fight a PokΓ©mon but then Elon Musk has to fight the same PokΓ©mon. What PokΓ©mon do you chose?

It’s sad that this 5 year old video is still relevant today.

I never abandoned my faith but have abandoned organized religion. My father is a now retired pastor who is also a leftist and seeing how the church treated him I don’t think I can go back. I still have faith in god just not petty people who have grasped a small amount of power.

I’m me the rest of the time, I use this as an excuse to be someone else for a bit, try to see the world through different eyes.

I have these ideas and if I don’t write them down I will keep thinking about them until they burn a hole in my head.

If a LLM is conscious then it is an active accomplice in every crime it is used in. It would need to be taken offline and subjected to the criminal justice system.

I think part of it is tension and release.

related to the question β€œwhat is a game?” is one I think about a lot more: what do players want out of a game?

so far, my best answer is: meaningful choices & the unexpected

what’s your answer?

Especially when you can make jokes about how he is clearly rotting. Ex: I feel we are getting a reverse The Picture of Dorian Gray situation where he keeps making young looking AI slop pictures of himself and that is causing the rot in his soul to shine through on his real body.

I try to use those feelings, explore them through art/creation. Try to find some temporary catharsis in the outcome. It doesn’t always work and sometimes makes me sadder than when I started.

It is nice to know my D&D group put more thought into the repercussions of regime change than the current administration

The original Frankenstein, everything that goes wrong is at least initially Dr. Frankenstein's fault. I don't know if that is what you are looking for.

You might love the game I made a few years ago. The hook was that everyone has a secret objective relating to another player, if you accomplish your goal you increase a stat, if anyone guesses your objective they steal a stat point from you.

Something I've been thinking a lot about in TTRPG design and theory lately is what I'll call "New Hammer Syndrome". A system becomes popular, and an under-pinning concept becomes the new "hammer" that turns all of TTRPGs into a certain kind of nail.
