There's a fan in my room that blows cool air and when it hits right it reminds me of summer days when I used to go swimming with my friends. Around that time I discovered manga and began to read it constantly. It's kinda fitting because manga is all about sentimental shit like that, hanging out with your friends and enjoying the weather and food and stuff. Manga really captures that period of life when there's a special feeling in the air. No wonder it's so popular

My wish is that I could have at least some semblance of grounding in myself, without feeling that some other part of me, which could very well be the most important / true / original part of my own being, atrophies from this attempt to reel in my mind into something manageable. For every day, week, month that I attempt to ascribe to some sort of set of values, I have another day, week, month in which I view this period as regressive and hallucinatory. And the cycle continues henceforth. It is hard to develop into anything worthwhile when the very center of your being is an eternally moving target. Perhaps not being, as it implies something I think many search for, but maybe the nucleus of that thing responsible for your assurance in the most basic view on reality. I feel fraudulent.

I want to apply to a school of letters which is certainly the most reputable in my country, in the department of philosophy, because it reserves places on file for students who cannot participate in the competitive examinations which form the main way of integration and which are not accessible to me.
To apply, I have to submit a motivated research project, a letter of motivation, a CV, and my transcripts from higher education.
I am able to compose a research project and a cover letter that I assume will interest the reviewers, but the main problem is that I have only studied physics and mathematics academically, so my CV might seem very empty in relation to what I am applying for.
I was wondering if I could lie on my resume by claiming to have taken classes in my school's humanities and history classes when I have never taken any classes other than those assigned to me. I doubt that self-directed learning will be satisfactory to reviewers. I'm also considering inventing a participation in the life of an intellectual and poetic organization in my city when I've only sent in a few poems to participate in a poetry contest they hold annually.
Does anyone have any experience or advice on the subject?

Man am I tired of being dubbed a haughty cunt. I am relatively 'fine' for my age, which is just twenty; a polyglot, audited several local newspapers, translating manga/erotica in my spare time, major in psychology and managed to take care of my personal life (mental and physical health, hygiene, etc...). And in spite of all the aforementioned, everyone I get to interact with seems to be hateful of me and how I am managing my life.

What I'm alluding towards is the fact that I have lost my commitment towards forming relationships; I seldom adorn myself with the enthusiasm that I have accumulated in that regard, making friends, that is -- I could only wish to elude a secular life, one that appertains to solitude, but I am afraid that it'd not come to fruition. I'm desperately averting loneliness and it seems that I have failed at that, too.

effectively, frankly, from lovelessness and polytheism. That is to say: from personal desperation giving rise to a symbolic, but ultimately unsatisfying, struggle. Some object of knowledge is supposed to speak to and mend a lack, likely symbolically. Either the aim is to substitute the love not gotten in some form of symbolic ritual (likely much of whorish behavior comes in here, or just generally unbalanced social behaviors really meant to enact), or to fix what one perceives to be wrong with oneself so that one can then get the love one wants (likely much of neurosis- why am I like this, why am I like that, etc). It requires two things then: feeling a need to be saved from something, which probably much of the time is not possible to verbalize what it is and likely belongs to the realm of something subconscious; and looking for salvation in places that don't help. This is the focus of all monotheism as far as I gather, of all real religion.

namely that man is subject to forces beyond himself- his subconscious in this case- and very, very deeply so, much more deeply than he can comprehend or control; and that trying to chase the tail of all of that just leads to more bewilderment and pain. God is the option to this struggle.

Something I have been thinking about recently is how shallow and inorganic Game Design is. The theory behind it. So much of it is received wisdom, convention, 'tradition', masquerading as something on par with Literary Theory, Film Theory, etc. All these Video Game diploma mills popped up 15 years ago, cobbled together some ad hoc rules, and ingrained them in impressionable retards and we are now seeing the result.
I think the shallowness comes from the fact that while it has a pretension toward being something like lit theory, and so is held tightly by the "Games are art" folk, it is really just a kind of consumer testing that has ossified in to received wisdom. It is less Howard Bloom and more Save The Cat.

I found the reaction of Western Devs to Elden Ring surprising and illuminating in how outraged they were. It wasn't that some didn't like the game, it was that some seemed deeply upset that it didn't hold to certain sacred cows yet was very successful regardless.
The most egregious I found was pic related who was terrified that their muscle memory would be tainted by playing a game with a deviant controller set up
This is really telling that value has been placed in the homogeneity of the gaming experience, that skills required for one game should have a frictionless transfer to any other.
It is as though they are all just labouring to converge upon the realization of some Platonic idea of a video game, the ultimate game, the perfect product. An eternal substrate that one can swap various narratives and settings in and out of. This is a notion that simply isn't found in the theory of other mediums which contrarywise seem to celebrate the diversity of execution of the concept.
This is how you know that it is primarily a shallow, market driven, body of work, and ultimately not worth paying attention to.

I kind of agree with this, regarding not just the modern game industry, but the mainstream media in general.
>It is as though they are all just labouring to converge upon the realization of some Platonic idea of a video game, the ultimate game, the perfect product.
Well, this happens with series and movies too. See Netflix for example, making "masterpieces" that gets replaced every 2-3 year as most watched series (Queen's Gambit then Squid Game).
>An eternal substrate that one can swap various narratives and settings in and out of.
Death games and battle royale are premises that are present and are highly used in most media; again, just changing the narrative and setting.
>This is a notion that simply isn't found in the theory of other mediums which contrarywise seem to celebrate the diversity of execution of the concept.

Similar situation, so I started getting jobs related to my hobbies. They are two very small part time jobs but have got me to some interesting positions with interesting people and may lead to something full time one day. I'd suggest starting there.

My personal example, I enjoy playing sports. Decided to start coaching very young kids about the sport, simple enough for anyone who has a few years in it. Have had a good time, been offered coaching positions with a few other places. Continue to coach and get better, working up the ages and skill level. Now in direct contact with a director at the club I coach for, he thinks I am a good coach with good potential. I was offered a future position on his personal staff at this club when the spot opens, basically secretarial/janitorial stuff for the tournaments my club runs. This director specifically wants to open his own club and run it better, pay more then the current club we both work for, said I would be welcome to work at his new one.

You just have to put yourself out there for something you believe in. I love playing sports, and I believe that sports are good and teach people valuable lessons that extend to all reaches of your life. Led me here. Best of luck anon.

I think it's possible my personality was shoved away as a result of trauma, but nothing really went in its place creating a situation where the boundary of my experience of myself and my experience of other people was blurred, which made it largely unbearable to interact with other people. This happened in my late teens. It got somewhat better but is still more or less a thing. It was not treated in any way. I am now 30. I only now think this. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a realization, who knows. More like a hunch. No boundary. I pretty much feel raped all the time and can't stand people. This was not the case when I had a personality. I think my personality is beginning to be re-integrated after 12-13 years or so.

I briefly met Jeff Bezos at a party a few years ago (my uncle is a high ranking corporate lawyer and is an acquaintance of his). I was a little starstruck to say the least, also a little tipsy, as was he. After exchanging obligatory greetings I asked him what gave him the grit and determination to achieve so much, and this was his response:

‘Believe me when I say every last thing I’ve accomplished since I was a young man: founding and growing Amazon, engineering the Kindle and fire stick, buying The Washington Post, learning rocket science, all of it and not a jot less, I did to get my dick sucked. You have to really want your dick sucked to do what I’ve done. Recently however I realised this wasn’t the noblest raison d’être, so I’ve amended it to this: getting my dick sucked in space.’

With this he laughed heartily, gave me a friendly slap on the back, and walked away.

found out an acquaintance had a late term abortion at 15. I don't know the circumstances but I don't think it was because of a pressing medical situation (she has a kid now). I think you can be granted it here just because you're young and single, basically. She knew the father but he did not intend to help at all.

It seems to me this would be murder. Sanctioned murder by a desperate person in a mad culture; assisted murder for sure, she was by no means alone about it and was surely met with every hospitality by the social services people. But it seems like it would still be murder. normally 3 months is accepted here, after that it's a human being. this was like 7 months. I'm not really sure what to do with this.

Trannies are crypto-theists. If you admit the existence of consciousness as an unchanging substance that can exist in contradiction with the physical reality, then there's no logical reason to reject God which is also an unchanging substance that exists in contradiction with the physical reality. If you accept the possibility of it, you should also accept it is the more rational option that a world was created by something rather than the world was created out of nothing, which is a concept we can't perceive or experience. Therefore, a tranny armed with reason should accept God. Once they do that with all honesty, they will find God, understand their errors, be embarrassed, and repent.

I think a big, big thing is that afaik in traditional societies you would be ready to marry more or less at puberty. I know this is still a thing in parts of central asia. It works because the young couple stay with the boys family, and everybody helps eachother. Maybe even 3-5 generations in one household. I think this norm ended because with industrialism, people are forced to move to work. In my country you get benefits for so long at your place of residence if you're unemployed, then you have to take any job anywhere in the country or lose the benefits. Also work is not tied to land. I think this is what shatters big households, meaning that a married couple must fend for themselves. Realistically in order to do that, both parties would have to be at least 18, but likely significantly older. Because the other thing is that you need skilled labor for the whole of the economy to work, meaning people can't just skip out of school to work bottom-tier jobs and be parents at 14. This means people are at best, maybe, ready to marry at 25. It is not realistic to expect human beings to be celibate until 25. This is my theory.

How modern man has been reduced to an entirely economic being, rapidly so over the last twenty years. We've been taught that we are all naturally selfish and must be restrained by the state. Only with the state's interference in our local economy, culture, religion, and family can we be free and achieve our modus operandi, namely financial maximalism. Of course, once freed we help achieve the same for others. Open as many offices in backwater nations. Bring their "brightest" into our program and convert them. Eat away at their chains and economically, socially, and spiritually liberate them.

It's so effective and self-correcting. The more that join, the harder it is to stay afloat. The system is reinforced by fear, poor imaginations, and social conformity.

Yes, but those systems were reinforced by virtue and microcosmic applications of virtue in roles of the family, the village, the church, etc..These in turn reinforced virtue and freedom.

Now we have one remaining shackle which is money and us being shackled is necessary to how the system runs. The only way to truly escape is financial independence, ironically.

This system is not sustainable of course and will collapse for many reasons which I won't get into here. What will come after may be a renaissance or it may be brutal as there are no more virtuous beings when money and its utility disappears.

They have hated all of her previous boyfriends for various reasons. There's definitely some weird family psychodrama shit going on that I've really only scratched the surface of, perhaps originating in her parents' messy divorce (though after talking to her dad about it, it probably goes back further than that). No one could ever possibly be good enough for her, they need to be the center of her life, the strongest relationship, that sort of thing. While at the same time they are incredibly mean to her. But anyway, for me it initially manifested in really superficial ways -- basically they hate the way I dress and that I have long hair, and were very rude about it, to my face and behind my back. Eventually I started pushing back, and it escalated from there.

even you guys don't get it. nobody gets it. I guess I guess my brain just doesn't operate in this century. I have a strange bloodline as half peasant and half nobleman with cult leaders and advisors to kings in my list of notable ancestors. Even my own family members don't get it because this history is weak in them. It's strong in me and that's why I don't fit in, why I don't belong here. I inherited it all as the firstborn son, all of the tradition of my bloodline is in my genetics, but at base my family is still stuck in the 13th century. So when people talk to me, I don't understand. My subconscious still sees things from the perspective that it's the height of the bubonic plague and I have to ensure I harvest enough this year to feed myself and pay the tax to my lord. So when people talk to me, I think they're mad. Why are you talking to me about this? What are you even talking about? I still live in the era when the stars were gods, not balls of hydrogen, and we had souls, not brains. Intellectually I know we are just animals, but deep inside I still believe everything is divine and I still carry the divine legacy. That's why I can truly understand the force of the revelation that God is dead. This modern life is absurd to me, and at this point I am just along for the ride, nothing provides so much interest and wonder to me as observing the development of the modern human. I'm not smart, but there is no great genius who could possibly understand my perspective on life, due to how absurd it has been, and how this world has made me a schizoid freak, so that I constantly think the most insane and bizarre things. But it's still everyone else who seems mad to me, I have no beliefs, they are the ones who are delusional. But the fact that I have no beliefs means I do not belong here, in this world, but purging belief was the only option when faced with the lack of divinity in this world

If you don't have sympathy for people who struggle in life, then you might be a little psycho.

I have an uncle who used to be an athlete. He would do marathons, triathlons, and the Alcatraz swim for fun. A little later in life, mid 40s, he apparently had some traumatic event happen to him. He never told anyone about it, I'm not even sure his wife knows, and I can only guess what it was. There was a sudden shift in his personality and his outlook. He was suddenly a completely different person. Now he's an obese marijuana addict, a shell of his former self. It's like he got raped or something, but who the hell would rape a 40 year old man?
Anyway, my point is, sometimes bad things happen to good people, and it throws their life sideways.

Fat people are disgusting. Everything about them is wrong. They smell. No- they stink. They reek of forgotten food trapped in their moist folds. They reek of unwashed ass because they can no longer reach around to wipe themselves, they can no longer shower with ease. Their arteries are clogged with cheese, their folds are littered with crumbs, their teeth yellowed with sauces.

Would you like to know the funniest part about fat people? It's not when they fall down and can't get up. It's not when they brake a tire swing or collapse a bed frame. No. The funnies part about fat people is that no one likes them. No one. And deep down they know it.

I had an interview for a job recently. During it they complained about being short staffed. To get to that point I had to apply for the job then take an online assessment then do a phone interview. I emailed them for an update and received this reply.
Hi Anon!
At this time, we are moving forward with other candidates.
Thank you for your time!
A lot of effort and hoop jumping for nothing and I haven't really learned anything from this failure. I left the interview feeling confident which rarely happens. I try to learn something from failure but I don't know what to tale from this.
Perhaps learning is irrelevant and it's best to just ignore and repeat.

Back in the day it obviously took the place of the photo so it was essential to society, a lot changed though ,i can go in depth but yes it is irrelevant except to the very rich. I wouldn't call it dead, contemporary art interweaves with public spaces, fashion, etc. Art always was in a way for the rich but it was found in every single church which was very important to the masses as well. It really has become SOLELY for the rich at this point and mostly as a status symbol. I don't really try to describe a style anymore, but i can show a picture of what i made recently. I've been doing oil pastels only the past 2 months, i got tired of paint. Btw i do follow a lot of art blogs/publications/galleries on insta that are contemporary minded, but its just odd desu how there's almost 0 public discussion about people who know about contemporary art.

After having written the book, apparently he said something like:

I'm a muslim now but I started believing long ago because I had faith in Jesus. I read the Gospels and thought: "If a person like this exists, and he says God is real, I'm willing to take it on faith in his saying so. If anyone like this could exist, I'm willing to try. He is a credible witness." And so I prayed and I felt a response, and since then I've believed. Later I read the Qur'an and believed in it too. (I never believed in the "Son of God" thing, or really any trinity, to be clear. It's really not clear upon a first reading at least that these are necessary from what Jesus is recorded to have said imo. It's not really my place to do anything with christianity, but I just wanted to clarify. These are the two main gripes the Qur'an has with christianity afaik, God knows best).

The point is it was about belief in a proof. Jesus was the proof. The proof is not rational, it's... I don't know, about grace? about beauty? and then I tried, was willing to try.

Godspeed anon.

>it is primarily a shallow, market driven
Anything produced for profit is market driven and any medium which is market driven is inherently shallow, since making a product as shallow and inoffensive as possible is the most efficient way to reach the broadest audience. Beyond just video games, the same can be said of any medium, including film and even literature. Exceptions within every medium are produced by those who want to make art rather than a product, and who have a vision rather than being motivated by profit. These people exist in video games, too, although some argue that there may be less innovators, independent thinkers and artists in the field than in others.

Video games mostly suffer from the problem of scale more than anything else. A book, which can be authored alone and self-published, more naturally lends itself towards production for fulfillment rather than the market. Something similar can be said for art and drawing. But when it comes to things like movies, and especially video games, significantly more people and money are involved in producing the end result which seriously restricts innovation and artistic direction for many reasons. While you can get away from this by going "indie," in both film and video games this leaves a very difficult to fill middle-ground. One one hand of the spectrum, you have studios with the budget and perhaps even talent to make something truly remarkable, but the environment stifles creativity and artistic vision in favor of the market. On the other hand you have small independent studios where artists can let their creativity thrive, but who lack the capital and often the talent to see their vision through.

This is never an issue for books, where the only cost is the author's time and most books, no matter how great or ineptly written, are all done by one person.

Personally, I see a lot of potential in video games and I hope that as technology advances, it becomes cheaper, easier, and faster for video games to be made, which will alleviate the issue and give room for more studios to break into that middle-ground of the spectrum.

>> No.20118077

I am not sure if you missed some of my point because your post doesn't really address it, being primarily focused on games as such. What I was saying was that Game Design Theory, the body of knowledge used in both the conceptual analysis and construction of games is primarily market driven in a way that film or lit theory isn't, likely for the the very fact that the same body of knowledge is used both analysis, critique, and construction which really isn't the case for other mediums where those all form separate, but interconnected, disciplines.
It is also telling that, in the west at least, this body of knowledge is so homogenised. There are genres in Games, there is company scale (indie, AA, AAA) but there are not really any movements of the kind you find in the arts.

In the case of critique and analysis of whatever narrative is present they simply borrow from the various schools of thought, and their terms and concepts, present in film and literature. Be it Marxist, Feminist, Formalist, etc etc. But as far as the constructive side of things go the style that is taught in game design schools in the west has a monopoly, and that means a monopoly on the concepts and terms which become the criterion upon which games are judged mechanically. You see what I am getting at? It has such a hegemony that people begin to take it for an objective science, something universal. Which was what I was getting at with the convergence toward some platonic gaming substrate.

Or to put it in the simplest terms, they have built a box around themselves and become convinced that there is nothing beyond it.

Anything that strays from it has to be not just bad but objectively incorrect by definition, not just experimentation, or rooted in another design philosophy but false and in need of repudiation.
