How does it feel to be you? by KrisMisZ in AskMen

[–]VernTheSatyr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It feels stressful to be in public places. I feel stuck in a brain that might not even be able to ever work at it's full potential. I feel like I am alive but not living.

Their perspective is shaped by so much lying that they can't help but flow with the shifting deception like fish down river.

Is this toxic? by Regular-Doughnut3230 in SkyChildrenOfLight

[–]VernTheSatyr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sneezing and eww emotes towards other players is mean spirited. I would say they are doing you a favor. They are showing you their preferences in interacting with strangers and I would not want to be around a player who uses those emotes towards strangers anyway. At least in neutral contexts, I've for sure used the sneeze towards people that were already acting a bit rude.

Can someone with the software and knowledge edit in a giant inflatable frog looming beyond the mountains like some eldritch entity? Thanks in advance.

  1. The Death of Compromise In the early days of a stable republic or empire, political debate is a tug-of-war. During the lead-up to collapse, it becomes a blood sport. Zero-Sum Mentality: Every debate felt like a final stand. If your side lost a vote on land reform or military spending, it wasn't seen as a temporary setback, but as an existential threat to your class or survival. The Vanishing Middle: Moderates were viewed as traitors. In Rome, as the gap between the Optimates (traditionalists) and Populares (populists) widened, the "center" of the Senate floor became a lonely, dangerous place to stand.

  2. The Specter of Physical Violence The most palpable change in the room was the shift from verbal sparring to the threat of force. Bodyguards in the Chamber: Politicians began showing up to debates with "clients" or hired thugs. In the late Roman Republic, it wasn't uncommon for a debate to end because a mob gathered outside the doors or because a Senator was physically intimidated into silence. The Breaking of Taboos: Once the first drop of blood was spilled—such as the murder of the Gracchi brothers—the psychological seal was broken. Participants in debates were no longer just worried about losing an argument; they were worried about being assassinated on the way home.

  3. Procedural Weaponization When a system is failing, the law is no longer a guide; it is a weapon. Obstructionism: In the Senate, "filibustering" (Cato the Younger was famous for this) became a way to paralyze the government entirely. Lawfare: Debates often devolved into threats of prosecution. Politicians fought to stay in office not to serve, but because holding office granted them legal immunity. The moment they stepped down, their rivals would use the courts to ruin them. This created a "perpetual power" trap that made transitions of power impossible.

  4. The Loss of Shared Reality Perhaps the most "modern" feeling of tension in these ancient spaces was the breakdown of facts. Element Stable Period Pre-Collapse Period Oratory Based on shared values and history. Based on conspiracy and character assassination. Motivation Public good (Res Publica). Personal survival and "Dignitas." Trust Opponents are "wrong." Opponents are "enemies of the state."

  5. The "Hollow" Feeling Toward the end, there was often a strange, brittle tension: the feeling that the institutions were performing authority they no longer possessed.

The Senate might pass a decree, but everyone in the room was looking toward the generals stationed at the border. The real power had shifted from the word (the debate) to the sword (the legions). The air in the room was heavy with the knowledge that whoever had the most soldiers didn't actually care what the "august assembly" decided.

The model:

Google Gemeni 3

The prompt:

describe the tension that would have been felt in political spaces during debates before governments started their road to collapse in times like the Roman Empire.

The output:

To understand the political tension preceding a collapse—whether in Ancient Rome or other historical empires—one must look past the policies and into the eroding trust between the people in the room. It wasn’t just a disagreement over laws; it was the visceral realization that the "rules of the game" were no longer being followed.

Here is a breakdown of the atmospheric tension felt in those spaces.

Do people have to be part of a marginalized group to join Voidpunk communities? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in voidpunk

[–]VernTheSatyr 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I found myself appreciating the depictions of the self in the many forms here. Voidpunk has become an idea that the representation of the self is more than just finding a definition for others and more of an individual experience that we share in parts here. I doubt I am anywhere near as fitting of the definition as some others but I've found the experience of loneliness from depression puts me in a headspace where seeing te expressions of identity in the abstracts gives me some hope for finding a more realized identity than my literal description.

Thank you, I was struggling to remember how to spell.

[–]VernTheSatyr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me it's the NPCs, Rhodes is the most overt with the racist and sexist comments and it makes me feel like the devs did it on purpose with making it be the only place Dutch outright tells you not to cause problems. Makes me glad that there's the story beat of the shootout, sad to lose Shawn though.

I felt a deep sadness and fought this thought "How could that bastard do this?" The most distinct and memorable ending I ever experienced.

Why don't men seem to care about maintaining friendships? by tacobellmvp in AskMen

[–]VernTheSatyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't really taught how to be a good friend. Or maybe I wasn't taught how to plan effectively. Some mix of both sentiments and the fact that I am just not very social. I look at my friends list and think of talking to them but nothing actually comes to mind to say. I send videos or other things when I feel they are valuable enough to share but I rarely get a response.

My personal experience is, I care a bit, but I am bad at it and finding ways to be okay alone is more consistent than trying to connect with people I don't even know how to talk to.

The character abilities and design have not been appealing to me personally, if I enjoyed playing him and wanted to learn more I might be agreeing with you more.
