@faraday @Auspice It both has to be something I am interested in and I have to be doing something else at the same time, like mindless shooting games or grinding/housing in an mmo. Because yeah, if I am only listening, then not enough of me is stimulated so my mind starts trying to stimulate itself and i'm not listening anymore. I spent hundreds of hours building in Wildstars housing, and most of that was listening to audiobooks or something similar.

@silverfox

I don't know if I had good teachers or what but it boiled down to.

1. Homework
2. Busywork
3. Things that didn't matter

^ these all sucked and were terrible and I never wanted to do them ever.

1. Tests
2. The actual learning problems
3. Answering my what if hypothetical questions

^ these were great and the reason I coasted through the bulk of school because I knew the material I just didn't like having to prove I knew it all the time. Tests were great, maybe because of competition, maybe because it was a defined task, in the moment, you had to do. Homework and other self directed busywork were pretty much undoable. It caused stress for me mum, fights with my dad, etc etc.

Hello Me. If only I would just apply myself.

When you type in a MU* command, have a stray thought, then 5 seconds later type that exact same command, at which point you stare at your screen as the same wall of text you just looked at comes to sucker punch you in the face again.

@Ominous I am waiting for a thank you for all the great sex, and the bad sex, and also I apologize for all the dead people I once had control of.

Fair Warning: I may steal some of these wholesale for game plots some day.

@Ghost I'd happily dance on the graves of many people in history. I am okay with the title of Grave dancer.

@BobGoblin Yeah I want to dance on his gave. He wanted to end public schools, medicare, medicaid, social security, minimum wage, was a climate denier. And that's not just his beliefs, this is shit he actively funded.

It's not about his politics it's about the actions of him and his family over decades. Fuck the Koch brothers. Sure they gave away to 'philanthropy' but were also buying our politicians and helping destroy the planet. Death does not make people forget. He was like 4 captain planet villains at once. Don't fucking whitewash the damned Koch's

So as just about anyone who knows me knows I am prone to ranting. I have a mountain of peeves of which only a few are remotely rational.

As a staffer and as someone building a game (no i haven't forgotten) I have changed my philosophy quite a bit. Instead of doubling down against things that players like that I do not like, i have instead started focusing extra creative attention, to implement these things i don't like, in a manner that is deep and rich and part of the setting that I am building.

Since I have at times been kind of a tyrant when it comes to certain theme flavors, this is helping get over myself in a healthy way and in a way that doesnt make me feel resentful when players through no fault of thier own have the audacity to want to RP things that hit one of my innumerable peeves.

Matrix 4 is a go.
