Going through a straight up comical amount of irritating situations to get the stupid 4* guaranteed ticket from the welcome to sekai campaign. It Will Be Mine.

#I’m resuming this tomorrow it’s been hours now I’m just mad #I’m home because my parents are moving to a different state and I needed to pack whatever was left #and for some reason we just keep old devices when we’re done with them #so I borrow an adapter to allow me to connect my ancient unworking iPad mini to my laptop #factory reset it. i have to reset an old email to access the old Apple id to fully reset it.#it won’t connect to the wifi so I have to reset the settings. i find out it’s too old to run pjsk.#i find an old phone that should work. i reset it as well. I’m able to download pjsk & it takes 20 minutes.#pjsk crashes everytime I try to open it. i attempt to run bluestacks on my computer. bluestacks doesn’t have 64 bit for mac yet.#i get a free trial of parallels and download windows onto my laptop. this takes 40 minutes.#i try to download and run bluestacks on that. m1 macs apparently can’t run bluestacks 64 bit through parallels.#i go find the final old phone that I had forgotten about. it takes forever to charge because the charging port is fucked up. i reset it as #well. it can’t connect to wifi. i try a hotspot on my current phone. service is too awful. i try to do wifi sharing from my laptop.#you have to be connected to the router via a cable for that to work.#at this point it has been like 3 hours. I’m giving up because I’ve been down this route before #when I attempted to run 32 bit steam games on m1 mac #(wine64 doesn’t exist for m1 macs yet -> attempt to run boot camp -> boot camp isn’t a thing anymore on Apple silicon -> attempt to run #several different programs that allow me to run windows on a mac. none of them work. ->#look into linux & give up. -> attempt to implement the unfinished/unbottled wine64 code thru terminal. ->#fuck up and delete some important file & have to fix that (misery inducing) -> keep trying. i think I downloaded a Mac coding program at #some point? i realize I have zero coding knowledge and this is a mistake. -> give up and purchase crossover. game doesn’t even work. ->#3 months later update to the latest OS so I can have enough storage to play psychonauts 2. find out the $60 crossover #purchase was a bad idea because ‘heehee crossover doesn’t work on that buy the new version’ (fuck crossover).#my toxic trait is my belief that I can figure out anything via google and sheer stubbornness. usually this is true. occasionally there are #exceptions to this rule. most of them are because owning Apple products is a mistake.#i think if I reset the router tomorrow I can solve this problem but I can also just go elsewhere with better service or wait until I’m home #now it’s a matter of pride. and also free 4*/I have nothing better to do because I’m stuck here until Tuesday.#<- this is all normal behavior by the way. who doesn’t spend 8 hours ramming their head against a problem every once and a while. enrichment #mine #oh I forgot. i also looked into cloning the app but that would cost money for something that might not even work.#‘just log out and make an alt’ and risk losing my account? I’m stupid enough to overwrite it on accident.

honestly i wish i didnt know as much as i do about occultism and spirituality because it is so fucking frustrating to see ppl talk about it and they very obviously do not have the knowledge that i have. like i am so open to being wrong, but i see things that ppl are saying and i'm fairly certain that they just ... do not have the depth of knowledge i do, so they say very ignorant things, or draw lines between things in an incredibly (potentially dangerously) overgeneralized way. and i am just sitting here like "oh you have no clue what you are saying right now, do you? you do not realize what you are saying is unfortunately pretty damn wrong." and i have to back away from the screen bc i do not discuss these things anymore due to the brain being constantly ready to dropkick me straight into a mental health crisis

but christ alive i think anyone who engages with spirituality needs to read up on like. essentially Everything they can get their hands on, even if they do not necessarily agree with the ideas being presented, because that way !! you learn !! and you grow to realize what things are borne out of racism and grossly mystifying other cultures and straight up white supremacy and nazi ideology and encouraging psychotic symptoms that lead to mental health crises !!!

#i hate new age spirituality so much. soooo much. 90% of it is just racism repackaged with a pretty bow on top #and nobody realizes bc they do not know what the fuck they are engaging with :))) what the roots of it all actually is !!!#and i do not necessarily blame them but i am so .... its tiring. and disconcerting. and scary. to see all of it being paraded around #esp when ppl accuse you of being ignorant or cruel for criticising smth that is so fucking dangerous or racist hsdgjkl ARGH ARGH ARGH #just bc they themselves do not realize !! it is dangerous and/or racist!! and they assume you must be wrong to criticise them!!!#sorry im just hgdsgjkl. this drives me crazy. i also hope i dont sound egotistical or high-n-mighty #but i do genuinely know i have more knowledge than the average bear (not difficult to though tbh! u just have to read a lot!!)#because i was so fucking fixated on it and went delving into so many books and pdfs and websites and did my own stuff on my own time #for several years #i was DEEP in this stuff (and boy howdy my mental health suffered for it lmfao me when i lose touch w reality almost entirely !!)#AND OBVIOUSLY. not everyone is going to have the same exps i did when they do spirituality stuff #but . it is very common esp these days. there is a whole label for it lol #ALRIGHT IM DONE RANTING NOW. im going to log off from everything for a good long while today to try to reset my nervous system lmfao #sorry for the public yelling and wailing fsdfjkl #pippen needs 2nd breakfast

I am only seeing it in clips, but the trip to old spawn is just reaffirming my feeling that the cost of moving to the new spawn far outweighs the benefit...

#there was just so much lost #and very little gained comparatively #the new spawn building is cool but that could have literally just been built at the old spawn #like i get the point of trying to keep everyone on a similar level but it just doesn't work #there will always be players like bad and aypierre and tubbo who will bcome the richest and strongest in record time #resets only slow them slightly in that sense #so if youre not on every day youll never catch up #but you know what doesnt require constant daily log ins?#roleplay #lore #obviously you can fall behind but you can still be involved #quackity and roier and missa and jaiden and max and many others could disappear for weeks and then show up and do fun lore and it was great #bagi arrived alone and carved out such a huge place for herself in the lore #but the resets and events and changes just killed the story and momentum #the months of work building the qsmp world that everyone fell in love with was just abandoned #and though the playera made cool stuff at the new spawn there was always just this huge sense of loss #it hit me especially hard early on when seeing Cellbit at the new spawn #as a ghostie i was so hyper aware of everything lost to bad #but it hit really hard seeing Cellbit hanging out in spawn because all previous character stuff was just #gone #no order #no castle #no ordem rooms #no Cell arch conclusion #it just highlighted even more that all that story #all that hard work he had done for months and months and months #it was just abandoned #aaaaack #/neg #i guess sorry :'D

So was anyone going to tell me that tumblr isn't dark blue anymore, or was I just supposed to find out about it like some kinda chump?

#isaac speaks!#interesting to see how things have changed #lots of mutuals are no longer around #and some mutuals actually still are!#feels like a lifetime oh my GOD #im trying to log back into my mbti blog but i cant lmao #ive had so many emails over the years its hard to know which one to use #i think i figured it out though #i used my very first email - a YAHOO EMAIL can you believe it?#i literally have to wait for yahoo to like reactivate it before i can start receiving emails to reset my password #gonna have to change the account email to something more updated lmao

Yesterday I did an escape room but I have no tangible proof for it. The reservation was made online so I don't have a receipt or a stub, or a sticker or a doohickey for completing the thing, or like, any memorable convo with the owner afterwards about our score or anything. It could have all been a dream.

#last time i went to this place they were just starting out and building it #so i got to chat with the owner afterwards as he was calculating the scores #and it was fascinating to see how he was thinking about it and building all the props.#also asked for my business card bc i told him i worked in theatre #but this time around the owner was there but we didnt get the score. bc bunch of high school kids were working FOH and setuo #and like lmao. we wasted so much time trying to find one piece of the puzzle but turns out. it was not in the room. the guy forgot to reset #we finished in time but like. i feel like it shouldn't have counted against us that we couldnt find the thing that was not in the room.#and some other parts were broken too so we did the puzzle and nothing happened... and the kid walked into the room and just. gave us a key #i guess the owner is now kinda tired of it. bc its been around for a while and he prob got disillusioned or something :/#with ppl breaking things and stuff lmao #anyways. it was cool though. i wish i could make an escape room. anyone wanna hire me for that plsssssss #log

i stg the government has it out for me specifically (exaggerating)

#can't order a new bank card online bc the feature is currently out of order #i have to go through victoria's department of bdm to get my name changed bc that's the state i was born in #but i can't log in bc the password isn't what i thought it was and when i try to reset it 2/3 of the security questions are BLANK #so i can't answer them #which means i can't reset my password #the universe and the government are conspiring against me so that i can never properly enter adulthood #captain speaks

okay, either the Target website is having issues in general this morning or they have the dumbest login failure message I’ve ever seen.

#queen rambles #go to log in to buy something for pick up #''something went wrong''#figure it 's that i forgot the password bc i almost never buy things online from target #go to send the password reset link #aaaand ''something went wrong''#...okay fine maybe i don't have an account even though i did #try to make a new account #any guesses? ''SOMETHING WENT WRONG''#looking stuff up was working fine but i guess something's up with login?#bc if ''something went wrong'' is the login error message it's the only one i've seen that doesn't TELL YOU what's wrong so you can fix it

#so I haven't logged into my ao3 in several years and I apparently didn't save my password anywhere and the password reset isn't working #gonna try again tomorrow but worse comes to worst I just abandon my high school cringe anyway and just move on #it was under my old furry email anyway so maybe it's for the best that it's forgotten #I didn't need to see that inuyasha x nezumi(no.6) x wolf(starfox) fanfic again anyway #perhaps it's for the best.#anyway I might upload my goncharov fic eventually lmao. I won't have access to a computer for a while though. so it's all phone typed #definitely won't have a new ao3 account before I get home anyway. so unless I get my old account back I'll have to wait regardless #nah I think I deleted the account when I deleted that first tumblr too. rip my cringe memories and fail friendships. tbh good riddance #sometimes you gotta delete everything and start over and never look back except to talk about it in therapy maybe #anyway. now I get to wait on the ao3 invite pog.

Management games my beloved I <3 tormenting lil guys for my benefit

#rat rambles #I decided to give lob corp a try recently since my siblings have been playing it and Ive been having fun #but I also keep getting distracted thinking abt how oni characters would manage here #I have been deliberately not reading the story stuff since quite frankly Im not in the market for new blrobos rn #but I know bits and pieces from my siblings being obessed with the project moon universe and cast #I do like hod and the girl twin from what I do know abt them they do feel a bit like me bait #Ill probably go through the dialogue at some point in the future but probably not anytime soon #Im not making that mistake again after I slipped into the oni rabbit hole from One lore log Im not testing fate again #but hey on the bright side I get to get attached to my lovely lil employees as I repeatedly send them to their deaths #hey my strongest guy became the strongest by being my test dummy to rly I did him a favor #well the downside is that hes the only one I trust with my two waw abnos but realistically others could handle it too #hes not my only level five employee he just got there first and is my reliable lil boy #well I do have a teeny bit of a problem with the fact that I also have a mushroom thing that Im pretty sure is also a waw #I messed around with it a lil bit in a day I ended up resetting for unrelated reasons and from what little I gathered it seems like it #could be real annoying especially if by 'three non insight works in a row are done' it means for everything and not just itself #it seems to have a similar effect to a different abno I have that's a tree that tries to eat ppl but probably a bit worse #the reason I reset that day was because little red broke out while I was also messing around with a scarecrow guy #and I kinda just let things play out for a bit for funsies and when I looked back at the mushroom there was an enemy outside #so Im guessing it lures in ppl like the tree and then tranforms them into enemies #the tree seemingly in theory has benefits to letting ppl get eated according to the guidelines but Im gonna take a shot in the dark and #guess the mushroom is not going to provide fun benefits #I mean in theory if I just work with it only once in a while it should be fine but Im gonna leave it until I finish my abno backlog #Im finally almost done with the stupid scarecrow that bastard caused way more problems for me than it should have #my guys can easily take it when it breaches but the problem is little red #honestly little red is a quite the problem for me in general because of their counter lowering when another abno breaches #this is mostly a problem because I still have to do quests around supressing abnos #and lemme tell you my guys cannot take little red at all #I also have had king of greed breach but at least with her you can easily play the stalling game #maybe I should find out how the bounty deal works and if I could utilize that for the mission #oh yeah I also have the fire girl since I missclicked which is disappointing because shes low level and boring boooo

The thing I like about the Blood Moon mechanic in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom is how it affords game-mechanical transparency to the player.

Like, we all know the reason it exists is because, like any complex open-world game, BotW and TotK periodically need to hit the reset button on all non-trivial changes to the world state; in games that don't, your save file has unbounded growth due to the need to keep track of every little thing you've ever done, and eventually the system runs out of memory, save/load performance goes to shit, or both. It's basic software engineering constraints dictating the shape of play.

The thing is, most open world games try to do this subtly, perhaps by setting individual timers for the consequences of different actions to expire, or by linking world-state cleanup to proximity to the player character, but in practice it never works – trying to be sneaky about it paradoxically makes it more obtrusive to the player by rendering it opaque and unpredictable, often prompting the development of superstitious gameplay rituals to work around it.

BotW and TotK take precisely the opposite tack and make it 100% transparent and 100% predictable. Once a week, at exactly the same time of day, there's a spooky cutscene and an evil wizard undoes every change you've made to the world that doesn't have an associated quest log entry. Why everything at once, and always on the same schedule? A wizard did it. Why exactly and only those changes that don't have quest logs attached? See again: a wizard did it.

And this isn't just a gameplay conceit. Everybody knows about the evil wizard! The fact that the evil wizard keeps resetting everybody's efforts to fix the befuckening of the world is a central plot point. There are organisations whose chartered purpose is to go around redoing stuff that's been undone by the wizard.

It makes me wonder what other potential synergies between fantasy worldbuilding and mechanical transparency are going unexploited.
