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.

Split keyboards are simply better than non-split keyboards but the retail options out there are paltry. I talked about why I love them, why they're better, DIY electronics, and how the lack of commercial options turned me into the hardware freak and writer I am today. For @aftermath.site
Split Keyboards Are Superior - Aftermath
Split keyboards are the best, but no company offered one that satisfied me completely. What followed changed my life as a writer forever.

Promotional 1994 Donkey Kong Country T-shirt, which uses a visual pun to indicate that "Donkey Kong's back" (as in, returns in a new game) with a render of Donkey Kong's literal back.

your job should allow you to have a full life outside of it no matter what it is. the fact that it often doesn’t, across all industries, is in fact a huge problem
