I think a lot about Disco Elysium's take on centrism. The writers are scathing in their critique of every ideology under the sun, no one spared - but none receive such venom as MORALISM. Even nationalism & fascism are treated as mostly pathetic, emasculating - centrism is the true face of terror.
![the thought cabinet for KINGDOM OF CONSCIENCE. the image in the background is art created by artist Anton Vill, in the style of Hieronymus Bosch and Eduard Wiirald, depicting a surreal blend of man, animal, and machine.
KINGDOM OF CONSICENCE
Bonuses from the thought:
Moralist dialogue options heal +1 Morale
Learning cap for Volition raised to 5
Learning cap for Logic raised to 5
PROBLEM / [SOLUTION]
The Kingdom of Conscience will be exactly as it is now. Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn't change -- not even incremental change. It is *control*. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.

Incredible how Cuomo is absolutely DWARFING everyone else in money and spend and yet it’s still close enough that they’re pulling these stops out.

Same playbook they always run, today it’s wealthy 23 year olds who are the problem for “average NYers” as Cuomo is bankrolled by a collection of Trump billionaires, yesterday it was elitist adjunct college professors and nbc news interns holding the working man down
this kind of panic is completely disconnected from objective reality, what on earth are they expecting will happen if the city becomes (optimistically) 10% more responsive to the needs of people who will never know anyone who has a line drawing of themselves in the newspaper

the problem with gen AI characters just from purely a game design & player experience standpoint is that the characters are unmemorable and boring, there's no way to feel clever when talking to them, and even if you roleplay when talking to them they won't remember or react to that meaningfully

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests.
We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason.

Take a moment to remember that the star at the top of your Christmas tree represents a miraculous light in the skies near Betlehem.
That tonight, the only lights in the skies of Betlehem are advanced Israeli fighter jets dropping 2000-pound bombs on babies 70 kilometers away.

Panera is now selling a lemonade that makes you immortal. This is even worse than the lemonade that kills you, you’re doomed to watch all your loved ones age and perish. As you walk the lifeless Earth 1,000 eons from now you will regret getting a beverage with your Buffalo Chicken Ciabatta Melt
