getting medicated again only to gain a new mental illness: creating new musou games in my head. ive not played a musou since the ps2 era
started taking prozac again after finally getting a psychiatrist that took my insurance. I woke up earlier from a vivid dream that I managed to write down completely just now I woke up because in the dream I ended up playing an indie developed SMT Nocturne... musou game. It was in the Obelisk/Tower of Kagutsuchi and, for some fucking reason, the game had haptic feedback for hitting every individual enemy. Where were the haptics? The haptics were in the chair I was sitting on. I woke up because the moment I did a sweep attack in this game (Heat Wave??) every enemy getting hurt in the game triggered a haptic vibration in the chair. So I felt like a dozen balls I was sitting on vibrate at the same time and I woke up I did not like how weird that haptic feedback felt at all :ICANT:

brother really decided to write "i can fix him"
When we view other people as utterly separate, mono-mind beings, it’s hard not to totalize them. We objectify them as a narcissist, psychopath, or racist, and miss the opportunity to connect with other parts of them. When we solidify somebody in a particular way without paying attention to their inner system of exiles and protectors, it’s much, much harder to keep our heart open and act toward them in an effective way. At the time of this writing, our president, Donald Trump, is an example of that for me. Some of my protectors can totalize him and see him as one of those diagnostic categories. And if I had the opportunity to meet him, mygoal would likely be to shame him into changing, which—because of the way he reacts to attempts to shame him—would totally backfire. But I could do something different entirely. If instead I adopted the perspective of multiplicity inherent in IFS, then I could see behind his protectors and know that they’re just trying to keep him safe and make him feel better. They themselves are trying to deal with the exiles in him that make him feel so worthless, and no doubt they are all stuck in horrible places in his childhood. This different approach is like good parenting too—I can have compassion for the man while still feeling upset at the damage his protectors are doing and working to stop them.

yeah im not surprised this guy did ket
With certain kinds of meditation, you can also enter into the nondual state—that boundaryless experience of oneness in which you lose a sense of being separate and meld with something oceanic. I’ve had personal experience with this state both in meditation and with the psychedelic ketamine, and it’s always profound. I return with a greater sense of there being much more to the universe than our senses allow us to experience, as well as increased compassion for how difficult this Earth plane can be, coupled with a commitment to make it better. Quantum physics tells us that a photon is both a particle and a wave. I believe the same is true for the Self. Most of the time we experience Self in its particle state—we feel some degree of connectedness to others and SELF while also sensing that we are separate entities with boundaries and individual agency. Through meditation or psychedelics, however, we can lose those boundaries and enter the wave state—we become part of the much larger field of Self (SELF) in a way that feels numinous.

trying to do some self work by reading up on IFS therapy books and while i get why people recommend different books from the source materials. this book started giving me Barret FFVII speech
If we think of the Earth as a living system or being—as Gaia—then the COVID-19 pandemic could be seen as part of a stabilizing feedback loop. For 99 percent of human history, the human species has not been a dire threat to the health of the planet. Starting with the Industrial Revolution, the world’s human population—and its ability to exploit the planet’s resources —has exploded in the last two centuries. Since the late 1880s, we’ve been riding on different runaway reinforcing feedback loops, and because they’ve improved the lives of most people in tangible ways, we’ve becomeconvinced of the myth of the march of progress. Unfortunately, the march hasn’t been so progressive for the rest of the planet. We’ve lost our ability to feel the Earth viscerally. Through our extractive, exiling, and disconnecting attitudes and behaviors, we’ve lost our ability to feel the Earth viscerally. Our receptors are numbed to the feedback the Earth has been offering us for decades, telling us time and again that she isn’t happy or healthy. It’s not that she hasn’t informed us—there have been plenty of signs. It’s that the striving, coercive parts that came to dominate much of our species have been too focused on financial and material gain to heed those signs. We stopped caring about the Earth and instead viewed her as a set of resources to be used however we wanted. But there are consequences to this.

The year is 2026: the year of the horse. As the fallen billionaire makes his last silent prayers, four women with horse ears tie themselves to his limbs. They start walking the four cardinal directions. Their emotions dulled. The stadium waits in anticipation.
Silence.

you can randomly level up stats via usage with the 'stat spark' mechanic (SaGa/Grandia 1 hybrid system). use the paradigm changing system to use a wide variety of skills to get stronger!!

Thank you! I think the game is best described as "niche ps2 era jrpgs that everyone recognizes plus a bunch of random wildcards" (the UI aesthetics also take a lot from the 7th dragon games)
The game uses a real-time action and command hybrid battle system with concepts inspired from Typing of the Dead, Shin Megami Tensei’s Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha subseries, the Shadow Hearts series, the Baten Kaitos series, the Grandia series, Square Enix RPGs such as the Final Fantasy VII Remake games, the SaGa series, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, and Sigma Harmonics, and action games such as the Devil May Cry series and the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series.

my youtube algorithm showed me a video on typing game design and I felt the need to yap in the comments on genre reasons why i designed the aLt-Project battle system the way that i did that I will point to and rewrite into some proper marketing copy later ig

(tl;dr most typing games make me tired)
(comment on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPVG7tC6x0A ) aLt-Project is fairly similar to Keyboard Warrior RPG in some regards actually, having only seen the game through this video. I think we all definitely figured out that having actions assigned to keys with immediate feedback in the form of attacks per key is really satisfying. However, my game uses a card action system with words attached to them that are tied to specific attacks; you're typing in the name of attacks rather than pulling from unrelated wordbanks. Importantly, the cards are organized into unshuffled stacks that have a set order, making the card decks more akin to combo strings in action games. While my fixed word card system this reduces the amount of variety in terms of what to actually type, with early playtest impressions I think in the long run it shouldn't be a huge issue. Having repetitive typing actions I find reduces cognitive load and lets the typing blend into the background and make room for emphasizing other elements of battles. As someone making a game that emphasizes the RPG half more than the typing half, there are I think two weaknesses I find with the design of typing games that I wanted to address with my battle system: pacing and *variety in how to achieve victory*. - WRT Pacing, I think the examples you give like Blood Typers making every action a typing input creates a lot of variety and challenge, but it is also kind of exhausting to play for long periods of time. I feel like with my experience with typing games I tend to see a lot of devs attach a lot of typification to many many basic actions, and it might just be me but having to constantly read and type not having to turn my brain off usually means I don't feel like playing typing games for super long periods of time. Because I want my own game to be more appealing to a general RPG audience that can tolerate & enjoy low-demand activities like grinding, there's little typing to be done outside of battle and dungeon events to give them a rest and denotes the action of "typing" as one associated with "danger"/"risk". I also added FFVIIR-esque ATB commands that pause the action once the player uses up a card deck so that players can rest their hands in the middle of longer battles while still providing decision making engagement. (The command performs a special move before reshuffling the used cards.) - WRT Variety in victory, a lot of typing games boil down to typing well and reacting fast, which while inherently engaging I don't think makes for games that both stand out and also stick. I think typing is one of those sub-genres that people I find always have an ambient curiosity in for both scarcity and relatability, but when actually playing the games the ones I've tried kind of failed to capture my longterm attention of "I want to play this to the end". In terms of gameplan players will generally always win as long as they type really good with a lot of the games that exist; the more notable ones I've seen like Textorcist, Glyphica, Blood Typers etc. all supplement the typing gameplay with other elements that provide challenge outside of typing (to varying degrees of success). I am hoping the card and command systems that I have lends to the variety of RPG encounters that require good character setup to succeed.
