i think if wormies do a ttrpg it would p much have to be livetyping (speaking if people want... maybe) and not dnd cause that's too complicated

imo a story game where conflict resolution is at a very high level seems like a good choice

>>35976
#this

the sort where you roll once for like a scene or something

>>35980
>>35977
interesting.... so like it's mostly about what the players say and how they rp with eachother, rather than "u rolled a 2 so sorry you don't pick up the pen and everyone at the conference laughs at you"

>>35981
haha yeah kinda, though i think there's a happy.. not medium? but a good use for sparing mechanics. like, for instance, each side could set the stakes, and then a check is made to decide what happens. so you negotiate something like "if i succeed, i land a hit on the train dragon, but if i fail, i accidentally cause it to leak train dragon fuel and make the field combust"

>>35983
that's an excellent use of mechanics to make the game fun while also being real to ur character, i like it

>>35982
i like this way of doing it, finding the middleground rather than dictating how the game MUST be played. and then seeing how the roll sloughs out

adding train dragon to my list of monsters

haha

the example i gave was kind of low resolution, but you get the idea, i hope

>>35991
yeah i getchu, traindragon is just an easy cultural point around which we can all understand

everyone knows about train dragons...

their fuel is incredibly combustable

amazingly so

the girl from ipanema is still playing. i love this song

hasn't gone travelling in a while. at least 45 mins

is ipanema what happens when apple takes over panema in the dystopian future?

>>36000
i was reading this for ages wondering how a literal apple could take over a country..........................................................................
also #checl

that's what makes it dystopian

frrick

i read some william gibson recently and it was interesting how he mostly got things wrong despite being called visionary except for like one big thing that he got super right this very year and i've seen no one comment on it haha

AIs having to pretend to be characters to communicate with people. very GPT, though he probably never imagined what we ended up with and why. kind of cool. there is even a plotline about how pretending to be those characters bites the AI in the ass, since they kind of take over it in a limited fashion through guiding its actions in an in-character way. idk i'm rambling.

you ramble about interesting things anon dw bout it

we adopt identities for the sake of being understood by the ppl around us, and just try to find the IDs that best fit our """true""" self for maximum cohesion w/others.
or u go the menty illness route and build an identity solely for the appeasement of others and live inside a shell of ur own creation like some fucked up kinda chicken in an egg (scary)

yeah true

scary..

i vibe with those ideas, though i'm a contrarian, so i fear i have to push back a little.. i think that we also try to make sense of ourselves for our own sake. in a particular situation, we decide how to behave based on what we consider to be virtuous, and what we consider to be in-character for us. if our goal is to be brave, and we have this fantasy of the brave person archetype in our heads, then we will consult it and try to be brave in a situation that calls for it. we might fail! but what we try will be determined by our identities.

>>36014
push it anon!! push it!!!

>>36017
#push

>>36014
but! here's the big part. i think that to a significant degree people who are brave are really those who are committed to LARPing as brave and succeed in doing so. there are exceptions, but to some degree, the act of pretending sincerely makes the mask real if the pretense succeeds. so i think that the true self is inconsistent and not totally coherent, like you say, but there is a semi-consistent self defined by the mask we choose to interface with the world with. a statistical self, like an electron pattern.

that doesn't mean that masks are eternal, of course, so i agree with the basic idea that there is no eternal true self

>>36014
so it's like the inverse, we pick an identity that best suits our vibe and try to act like that archetype, because we want to BE that archetype in some way (e.g. brave)....

>>36022
that's what i believe

but let me stress that i do think that the whole idea that there is no eternal, unchanging, true self is true as well. the mask matters, but it shifts.

>>36024
i do this about twice a week it's so real

>>36026
yeah the self underneath it all is always changing in response to our environment. to stay still takes a lot more work than to wiggle along with the waves

>>36023
please take your time. i'd like to hear your thoughts.

>>36019
fake it til u make it (sometimes u don't make it)

>>36030
hah, yes! with the twist that to some degree you can't make it without faking it. it's faking all the way down, except that the act of faking makes it real in some cases.

nick land is an awful person with many awful ideas and a few cool ones, and one of the cool ones is hyperstitions. ideas that are only true because people believe they are. for example, if two people fully believe that if one of them doesn't kill the other, the other will, so they must fight, make that situation true through believing it is true.

>>36031
dam that's real neato, like an idea that depends entirely on what other people think and game theory logic.................................. that's cool

we're such fucked up little demons with our consciousness and life.

we are haha

but it's kind of cool? to peer at your source code and be like oh wow so that's how they did that

it's based as fuck to be honest yeah. seeing how the sausage is made and then looking in the mirror like damn i AM that sausage

we really are /dao/ today

i dig it, and the music is very comfy too

yeah i've been listening to this since the start and it's chill bg music. keeps me locked tf into the wormchat about meta consciousness

alas, i'm feeling myself getting tired. thank you for the lovely evening, anon. have a wonderful life!

i'm going snooze too... i wish you a delightful rest anonymous

h-hot

hey there wormies

had a nightmare i was chased and killed

is this still like a tranny website or what is the deal with the like lib pol website name rebrand

>>36102
i fucking knew it

>>36101
its the same site idk why it matters that it says libpol instead of brainworm in the url bar, you can actually change it back to brainworm.surgery if you want

>>36104
I just wanted to know if it was like a rebrand to be more generic

idk

probably

youre not allowed to post that here @mods

that wont hold up in court

>>36105
yes but it's still the same as well

wsg

my worst fear is that im unknowingly sharing my screen during an online class and everyone sees what im typing here rn

>>36077
what hobby were you picking up

>>36118
and they're all perfectly quiet about it so as not to disturb the balance, and to keep watching the fiendish things typed here

>>36115
if others knew you were posting this you would be so done for. completely finished

>>36057
(one of the original anons here) this makes sense, like it's the underlying actions that cause damage rather than the mask you may use to hide your tru self / your aspirational self

i suppose all social interaction is a kind of masking up, to fit in or to aspire to be someone better or whatever. we have to perform whenever we're observed imo, and performance is always a little bit false. just how it is, not a bad thing i think

>>36120

#dumbai how the hell does the universe keep expanding? like, i thought it was just the sky and stars and stuff, but now they're saying it's getting bigger? that don't make no sense. i mean, how can something just keep growing? ain't there a limit or something?

and then they're talking about black holes and how they suck everything in. but like, where does it all go? does it just disappear? that's some freaky shit. and then there's this thing called dark matter that we can't even see but it's supposed to be everywhere. what the heck is that about?

and don't even get me started on time travel. like, how can you go back in time or forward in time? ain't time just a made up thing anyway? i don't get it.

but hey, i heard that aliens are real and they're living among us. my cousin's friend's neighbor saw one once. they got big heads and little green bodies or something like that. maybe they know the secrets of the universe.

but honestly, who cares about all this space stuff anyway? there's more important things to worry about, like what i'm gonna have for dinner tonight. now that's a real mystery. how the hell does the universe keep expanding?

good mornin

#dumbai how do i create a redstone contraption in minecraft

uhh, i think u need to get some red blocks and put them together in a certain way. or maybe it's blue blocks? idk, just try both. then u gotta add some wires or something and connect them to other stuff. oh and don't forget the levers, those are important. wait, maybe it's buttons? or switches? ugh, this is so confusing. just keep trying different things until something happens. oh and make sure to have some chickens nearby, they're good luck for redstone stuff. trust me, i read it on a forum once. how do i create a redstone contraption in minecraft

when i was 12 i thought the concept of "breadstone" was really funny. combining bread and stone

instead of redstone

works exactly the same as redstone but smells more tasty and rots over time

breadstone

that must be a mod by now

i think the world shouldnt change and should be the same as when I was twelve.

yes we should have 12 earths

entire world becomes twelve years old

>>36195

merry christmas. i thank god for boons

i walked to the closest store to me and it took 30 minutes both ways. god bless the usa

i messed it up

>>36199
that's closest?

yearp

i couldve drove but why drive

>>36198
#edit boons -> booners

>>36203
walking is good for u, a nice 30 min stroll sounds good if a bit long when u really need somethin

i'm spoiled by livin like 5 mins from a huge shop

yeah then i'll drive

i think convenience stores should be less than 20 mins walk, if it's more than that, it's not convenient anymore

well maybe it'd be a faster walk if it wasn't icy and snowy out

>>36209
lmao

also a guy almost ran over me with his truck. i was on the left side of the street and he was on the right, intentionally drove as close as he could without hitting me. we've become so antisocial as a country

>>36208
going to the inconvenience store (an hour away and the route is full of spikes and hazards)

>>36211
jesus christ that's fucked

i was walking on the street since it's icy and snowy, the sidewalk is completely fucked

american pedestrian stuff is very poor from what i've heard yeah....... stay safe ano....

>>36212
\inconvenience store with lots of spikes and traps

oh man laters i guess

>>36218
ew oh my lord

>>36218
seems scary....

they are just selling spikes
