To kneel at the feet of the guru; awed by the mystery To weep freely before the cultural hymn of a symphony To speak wildly regardless both cacophony and irony To stand with intention at once serene and communally To commit as do you to peacefulness or tomfoolery To suffer no demand that benefits an individual more than the specie To endure as well as possible the inevitability of my own hypocrisy To burn until the fuel of myself-ness, exhausted, mutters quietly To thereafter gather the leavings rendered most literally To scatter, to undo, to ease and release as community […]
SAO – Unexpected Feels
“Sometimes, there are things you can only communicate by clashing.” – Yuuki Aonno
Ashes and dust and….
The song lyric goes, “Every generation, blames the one before, and all of their frustrations, come beating at your door…”
A speed limit life
And now we come to it, the pinpoint moment at which culture and society mandate a change of referent for me. For. Me. My entire being itches at the implication of it, ever rebuked and rejected. Still, it arrives and will land like the last bit of lace dropping from the eye; my brain and the mind it mimics recognizing the truth that is the organic machine, the homeostatic process of hollowing that brings all life to eventual transmutation… on behalf of the future, naturally. It still irks. The inertia of simultaneously wanting to do everything and being unable to […]
Gaming Update – tracing futures
I am surprised by how much I am enjoying Phantasy Star Online 2 (finally on steam!) – completely free to play with shop that lets those who want to support free play for all buy all the pixel pretties they desire. Suspect this is where Koster 🤩 is heading with the “Playable Worlds” offering, but since they’re not out of stealth, only time (and marcom) will tell. I predict that Koster’s offering will be In the cloud because server farms on land is just so… 1999. I predict that it will arrive with procedural code generated worlds because modular is MMOs future. […]
A pause, a rest in the meadow
You show true loyalty when you remain dedicated to those who are not dedicated to you. Being rejected doesn’t mean you must reject in turn. One may remain loyal even when all others have forsaken. One does.
Ah, bow dee chee tah
I want to sacrifice myself spread-eagle on a mountaintop; flesh-freed and soul-lifted, flit into the trees, the sky I ponder immortal impossibilities content myself with the 2nd law never dying, shifting forms, a return to the place before I was born The pun of the vas defer ens: halls of the fathers, I smile; life is rarely solemn, too busy bubbling for egress, release The vast differences of life diversity in which rests strength; a lesson that sapient, mammal apes seem oddly loathe to embrace By thinking, too inured to think; in thinking, too short of sight; myopic multitudes, among […]
Law of Creative Destruction – If it ain’t fixed, break it until it is.
This will not go as expected. How sad that this guy has to defend trying to successfully run a business and market/promote for funding. Shame on WoTC for not supporting this guy. Shame on any player that doesn’t support this guy even if only by telling your M:TG friends about him (or screaming into the void as I am). Especially now that this fellow has uprooted his entire life to assure he faithfully responds to concerns from his viewer-ship… even when much-less-than kindly presented. I don’t even KNOW this fellow, but I know someone like him. And I know just […]
