@TimONeill007 @mrremoraman You contain multitudes

[Tiny Angry Crab @TinyAngryCrab]

@QiaochuYuan This is how it is with all sources of inspiration no? You draw on it, interact, the absences make themselves known, you go to another!

[Tiny Angry Crab @TinyAngryCrab]

@QiaochuYuan What is coffee but opt in hypomania I suppose!

@Philip_Goff All my electrons are in a dreamless slumber due to being very tired please do not bother them

@goblinodds I feel I would go mad if I had to pick a team in current us politics…!

[Tiny Angry Crab @TinyAngryCrab]

@goblinodds There’s a lot of stuff in here but just one thing that stands out to me - the concept of red/blue tribe feels inherently a bit suspect to me. Perhaps this is partly being in the uk, but it feels like the act of tying oneself to the current us manifestation of a tribe does no good

@goblinodds @funplings You can’t trust writers… give em the chance and suddenly everybody is covered in issues! from a bg2 pov there’s a lot of the bases being covered - people went feral for viconia (evil drow priestess romance), thence minthara. Big missing thing is pure silly eg jan jansson

@goblinodds @funplings Tbf there’s a reason that goes back 25 years+ in crpgs; the vanilla good romance options were so despised by players they became notorious for being awful (eg carth in kotor or anomen in bg2). Every romance people liked/talked about was weird in one way or another!

@JoshuaLWatson Where were you when you didn’t know anything??? Tell me damn your eyes

[Tiny Angry Crab @TinyAngryCrab]

@JoshuaLWatson @DeivonDrago Guy who jumps on every one he finds because “I only need to be right once”

[Tiny Angry Crab @TinyAngryCrab]

@QiaochuYuan Magic when? Trying to summon angels, telling demons to go away, asking your grandfather’s skull what’s about to happen?

[Tiny Angry Crab @TinyAngryCrab]

@JoshuaLWatson Very borgesian! Living forever meaning one is all men and all that

[Tiny Angry Crab @TinyAngryCrab]

@No5mallf3at @JoshuaLWatson I feel less suffering is a meaningful target no?

[Tiny Angry Crab @TinyAngryCrab]

@JoshuaLWatson I think there’s two… me and the other guy…

[Tiny Angry Crab @TinyAngryCrab]

@JoshuaLWatson There’s a bunch of early gnostic (usual caveats) stuff in this vein; if bored, “the thunder; perfect mind” is fun

[Tiny Angry Crab @TinyAngryCrab]

@JoshuaLWatson “Demons know stuff because they’re really fast and invisible” also an underrated Augustine take

[Tiny Angry Crab @TinyAngryCrab]

@JoshuaLWatson The trick is the word “knowledge” I think; these questions tend to rest on implicitly making all true knowledge “knowledge how”. You don’t truly know exercise is good for you because you don’t exercise, etc. not ultimately useful because common usage and understanding is diff

@QiaochuYuan It’s fascinating because many of them are programmers; you would think intuitions about running/writing good code would transfer better

[Tiny Angry Crab @TinyAngryCrab]

@goblinodds A single message or derived thing, I feel… but then again; different things do land so differently (and potentially so negatively) that you have to account for these things I suppose!

[Tiny Angry Crab @TinyAngryCrab]

@goblinodds Many of my favourite sequences of words come from the prose of Samuel Beckett; many are things I find deeply funny or beautiful, but completely unaligned with the overall feeling of a text. Consider eg fizzle 3, afar a bird… nobody can make themselves coherent enough to have
