Older Than Time and capitalising on my penchant for drama, how... devious of me. Gender? Moi? Nah. Companion blogs abound but you’ll never find me.

"immortality sucks because all your friends die" all your friends die anyway. those we do not mourn are those who mourn us.
"immortality sucks because you forget who you are" we always forget who we are. do you remember who you were at four years of age? who you were at fourteen? "who i am" is a shadow cast on the wall.
"immortality sucks because" skill issue. skill issue. skill issue. give me your liver

we are human, and perhaps that is all we need to be.

Beauty, you find. Bard, you are?
Bard, I am not.

Man, I am.
Men, we are.

So, you may have had a brother. And you may have killed it.
brother (undefined gender)
a continuation olong this line of thought
the definition for 'brother' is from the American Heritage Dictionary
(script under cut)
Brother (noun)
A male having the same parents as another or one parent in common with another.
One who shares a common ancestry, allegiance, character, or purpose with another or others, especially.
So, you may have had a brother.
And you may have killed it. / You know how to say 'death' and 'die' but you have yet to learn the word for 'kill'. / Besides, you are not sure if the sentiment of 'shutting down a program (possibly made by the same person who made you) to save the people and bring the tower to harmony while it trys to kill you too' can be expressed in a single word.
No, it is far too complicated for that. / Then again, maybe Exile wasn't trying to kill you. It could have, that time. But instead, it brought you into Exile. Just as it begged you to, the first time. / You. What did you want from me?

And it feels just a bit unfair.
(script under cut)
There is a little click in your head when you 'finish' a language. You do not know what criteria you met. Only that it is 'enough'.
You assume, in hindsight, that it was to discourage you from staying in one floor for too long.
Because you do not know enough. You do not know enough at all.
And you do not know the words to protest this to your maker.

chants of sennaar: "we're not gonna make you learn this super complex language, we'll just simplify it down for you"
me, a linguistics nerd who competed in cryptography contests throughout high school: "NO! PLEASE JUST LET ME HAVE THIS"
in conclusion Chants of Sennaar is a great game but they should make a version that's 10 times harder just for me, thank you.
#personally think they could’ve fucked around with sentence structure a lot more#the bards language so far is the one that had the steepest learning curve just cuz of that#chants of sennaar

Me, playing Chants of Sennaar thinking it’s a pretty puzzle game about deciphering logographic languages: Wow beautiful!!!
The game: Social disconnect, language barriers, inequality, xenophobia/tribalism, caste system, terrifying monster, involuntary indentured servitude, hostile AI, virtual reality, oppression, techno-dependency, religion, hedonism, rebellion, exploitation

It's almost the Ides of March and you know what that means...
And of course, if we can get 10k votes on this, I will make the salad. Last year I didn't get to make it. Let's change that this year!
