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.

@AION Good. You?

Double negative. Do you deny that clothing affects the situation* — At that point having a vagina affects the situation— not clothes. — Man gets punched in face. Shouldn't have had nose. — Sorry. — Man gets punched in face. Shouldn't have had such hittable nose. — If women walked around naked, you should have the respect not to fuck them. If clothes or the type of clothes changes that for you. Cum 3 times before you leave the house, please.

Yeah, men are more likely to be aware of the abuse and put up with it. Women typically get sold a front before the man reveals his true abusive self. Statistically, it is under studied though. And it’s difficult because while abuse towards women is for about 1 in 4 and for men 1 in 9– men are more likely to under report.

Yep

Yep

@Miguel1 Then tell me my agenda. No really, I’m curious. Tell me how much you’ve connected with thousands of women. You were being Braggadocious; arrogant.

Everyone talks about evolution. Nobody mentions mating. Look into mourning doves for example. Evolution didn’t just shape us Men to dominate and Women to submit. Don’t @ me about the data or trends. Look into the evolution of mating, pairing, co-op, etc. Maybe it applies to you, maybe it doesn’t. But preaching about how women are is an obvious trap. Not because you’ll hurt their feelings. But because you are not appreciating your own desires and the beauty of a ‘woman’s abstraction.’

Men, if girls are so simple, why do you need all this data? Sounds like you all cracked the code already 😉 Aren’t you happy going through your endless women?

Once you eat one Dorito, the whole bag is gone. Show me the man who can eat one Dorito and I’ll take you as more credible than anyone else here. Otherwise we’re just arguing over who can eat more Doritos.

“Abusive relationships happen to irresponsible people who allow themselves to get boiled alive like frogs.” The connection is you’re both blaming her for her actions and implying an inability to solve them as well. This logic creates an unworkable, disempowering paradigm and is ultimately self full filling. And if you men believe your own words, that ‘responsibility’ lies with you and it should say: “Abusive relationships happen when irresponsible men who allow themselves to get boiled alive like frogs.”

@AION You’re upset because the women are on my side. 😘 Of course Leo’s right. He should embody it.
