And to upkeep it across all of the different platforms over 20+ years…

Jesus Christ— yep. Multiple gigantic additions with complete stories, missions, etc. An entire organization has been behind it since before the games release in 2002 (mod group has been around since 2001 and has 2 main factions itself— umbrella company)… all of the additions are seamless and compatible as well. Who would’ve thought. It’s considered one of the largest modding feats— ever. The community is almost exactly the same age as me haha.

IOS/Mobile solution for Leo’s post on YouTube’s Interface. This only works through Safari. It works for more than YouTube, though. It works with Instagram, Reddit, Facebook, etc. Check out the developer. Great stuff. Some YouTube specific shorts blockers and such as well. Another YT specific one. They’re redundant though. The first one is all you need.

Imagine if, all game designers had been working on the same game, until this day. What would that look like? Maybe we’re all game designers.

Look up ‘Morrowind World Breakdown’ (videos). There are a few, including the 7 hour one I skimmed through. You can also search ‘Morrowind World Depth’ and find numerous Reddit forums. Wow. There’s more politics in that game than most people understand about actual politics. The designers apparently would often work off the clock for fun. The world looks mystical. The play through apparently entailed less vague expressions of character development, in the sense that certain paths were not solely skill (path) based. Where Skyrim had a handful of factions, similar lineage paths, your skill point paths and obviously reskinned recurring missions, Morrowind was said to have more determined or unique paths, with subtlety in the way different groups of people would interact or treat you overtime. A Reddit member, paraphrased, ‘In Morrowind you start as a nobody and by the end you see a world that’s built. In Skyrim, whatever you do just seems like a slice of the pie.’ People seem to have humanized groups from the game as if they are talking about an actual culture. There also were many counterintuitive aspects, such as with the buying/selling. It didn’t seem super linear and you’d actually have to think and barter the system, it seems. Thats how I took it. Seems wonderfully dense. Never played it. Looks good with the mods too.

@Emerald You’re smart enough to know that’s not how that happens.

Me likey this idea Cool thought

@Emerald Whose sword?

@Emerald Why are you engaging with someone who is pre rational? Edit: I did too. I just don’t see where it’s going. They’re not engaging honestly, making sense, or being straightforward.

@Salvijus Salvijus, you speak like someone who’s spent a life time avoiding feeling. You hide behind abstractions and metaphors while someone is sharing the most vulnerable parts of their life. You think you’re being deep or helpful, but it’s really cold, evasive, and honestly—arrogant. I’m not angry with you. I just want to know—have you ever really sat with someone in pain, without trying to fix them or reframe it through your philosophy? Because all this talk of fire and water is just a shield. It keeps you from having to actually feel anything. If you think that’s spiritual maturity, it’s not. Presence is felt. Not performed. Stop performing— and ask for help. You clearly need it. If you’re strong enough to dance around a topic like you have, I can only imagine what you’ve been through yourself. Take care. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. But leave these people alone.

It seems 😩

Have you been in an argument with a ‘woman?!’ I’d say they can be as ‘firey’ as ‘men.’ Where does info like this come from even?!

@Salvijus Okay. So then what do you get ‘used for?’

@Salvijus What’s your role?

@Yimpa As none of those things, I’m curious what you mean. What is your experience?

In person, for appointments, I only speak when I am spoken to or if I have a question. Otherwise, I just say ‘yeah.’ Most people do not continue talking. If they do, I just keep saying ‘yeah.’ Maybe they get weirded out and ask ‘everything alright’ and I say ‘yeah.’ Then maybe they keep talking but I tune them out and remain silent. If they catch the vibe and ask if I want to talk I say ‘not really.’ If they ask me random questions I don’t care about, something about knowing a word or whatever I say ‘I don’t know.’ And that feels honest to me. I don’t know. I don’t even know if I know in that moment. I don’t care to. Massage! Earbuds obviously work too. I just usually have this problem at the dentist, haircuts, etc. So sometimes there are legitimate questions and also I like zoning out. If I was at a massage and I didn’t want earbuds/and a grown man was asking me dumb questions I’d probably try to get a new massager or just straight up tell him ‘I don’t want to talk’— assuming he starts talking my ear off.

I’ve heard people say “If they fall for the scam, it’s their fault.” Also, this meme.

@mmKay Leo coined the term on his blog. It wasn’t a poem. It was a confession. It took maybe 20 seconds to type.

I lie to learn. I tease to learn. I hurt for joy. I bend the rules to see. I see if I can bend the rules. I rationalize the irrational for depth. I distort and conflate for scope. I wonder. And I hate to understand. I ignore experience. I take for granted. I am confused. I confuse others. I am an epistemic scoundrel.

The more I choose to be honest, the easier it is to cover a lie. Honesty as a bias.

@The Renaissance Man Either way it’s a simplistic embodiment that holds ground only in specific contexts and doesn’t reflect true understanding of women. And that’s really what this is about and what I care about. Understanding (women, anything) and helping others do the same.

There’s a type of hypocrisy that isn’t loud. It hides behind silence. Behind intellectual prestige. Behind platforms that preach nuance—until nuance starts reflecting back at them. I was recently part of a conversation where the leader—brilliant, insightful, often right—dodged a subtle but important callout. He said: “Don’t speak hard truths to women.” Then proceeded to do just that, harshly, repeatedly. When I pointed it out—not with anger, but clarity—there was no response. Not even a rejection. Just silence. And then the crowd did what crowds do. Labeled. Mocked. Meme’d. Not because I was wrong, but because I respected women without needing to dominate them. Because I didn’t play the expected role. Because I became inconvenient. This post isn’t about blame. It’s about the subtle violence of systems that say “seek truth” —but only if the truth flatters the structure.

@Rafael Thundercat Because the post is not meant to chastise and there is no spotlight. People will hold themselves to the standards they do.

I want integrity. Not perfection. Not agreement. Just the willingness to live by the same standards being taught.

@AION Good. You?
