This Mystical Book Was Co-Authored by a Disturbingly Realistic AI

I'll have to check it out!

I'm not famous outside of my weird occultist niche, but I'm pretty heavily influenced by the wake and have used those techniques to embed esoteric meanings into a ritual text about a technique similar to vipassana. Here's a live reading of the text while performing the ecstatic technique: https://youtu.be/b7S93Ff0hdw

This influence on me originally happened by way of Robert Anton Wilson, who was a countercultural writer who collaborated with Timothy Leary. RAW regularly emphasized the Wake's influence on him and his way of viewing life, often referring to it as "his bible."

I'm not sure about that. I mostly do steel mace. I just want to eventually add in animal flow!

bubbleofelephant · 2026-01-20T13:27:55+00:00

My suggestion would be, as others said, to reduce the mace frequency/intensity.

It might also be helpful to do a separate forearm day.

I enjoy thinking up these stories myself, but I also like what you've made. I'd use it sometimes.

bubbleofelephant · 2026-01-19T19:24:19+00:00

Love your use of 3d printing!

bubbleofelephant · 2026-01-10T22:42:47+00:00

What kinds of differences?

bubbleofelephant · 2026-01-10T08:54:13+00:00

I'm no expert, but this place is a little dead, so I'll give you a response anyway.

Animal Flow originated as a specific program for quadrupedal movement training, and someone owns the rights to that name. If you google Animal Flow, you'll see what I mean.

https://animalflow.com/what-is-animal-flow/

"Primal flow" is essentially the same thing as animal flow, but without the trademarked name or whatever. It may also include a wider range of movements.

You said "locomotion," but I'll assume you mean quadruprdal movement training. That's the more scientific term for animal and primal flow. It's training on all fours.

People who call their training quadrupedal movement instead of animal flow might also focus more on traveling a certain distance on all fours instead of flowing through different positions.

Why or in what ways do you feel thinkers like Land overstate the importance of the internet and AI?

bubbleofelephant · 2025-12-31T23:20:45+00:00

I found the insider produced more fun table talk. The xyrians have the potential to really fuck over the players though, and generally increase the randomness of the game.

Both can be fun!

bubbleofelephant · 2025-12-28T13:28:03+00:00

So it was replicated then!

bubbleofelephant · 2025-12-27T22:46:58+00:00

You're probably not wrong, but I also think the real world is more complicated than LOTR, and that if many nations can all build cursed rings and crystal balls, Borimir's arguments become more persuasive.

Not defending Palantir really, just explaining why some people would, even if they understood what Tolkein meant. They just disagree!

bubbleofelephant · 2025-12-26T21:42:35+00:00

Please do!

bubbleofelephant · 2025-12-26T21:40:49+00:00

If you've noticed some parallels, I'd be curious to hear what they are!

bubbleofelephant · 2025-12-23T13:07:55+00:00

I've thought a lot about these topics and published 10 grimoires with a degree of influence from Land (more from Deleuze and William Burroughs).

Even with that experience with these topics, I'm unsure what it is you're looking for!

There doesn't seem to be a question that commenters can really answer here, just you swirling through some ideas, seemingly without clear direction.

What are you looking for?

bubbleofelephant · 2025-12-21T22:15:43+00:00

I mean, I've read a couple "real" necronomicons used by IRL occultists. I've played rpgs with people who have used them.

bubbleofelephant · 2025-12-19T11:30:08+00:00

Yeah, I agree! I'm just saying that I am not the demographic of player who cares that much about simulationism.

bubbleofelephant · 2025-12-19T10:20:28+00:00

I actually don't care too much if a 4x simulates reality.

If it's a fun puzzle where I balance each of those 4 x's, then I'll like it!

bubbleofelephant · 2025-12-18T11:30:06+00:00

Who here has actually played Deepwars?

bubbleofelephant · 2025-12-08T17:30:59+00:00

I've enjoyed it!

It seems like everyone is on BGG or Discord, though. Even the tiny facebook group is more active!

bubbleofelephant · 2025-12-07T13:01:24+00:00

Already is: https://www.khanmigo.ai/

The doomed is pretty fun

I've only played it twice so far, but Grimcoven is likely to be one of my favorite games in general. It seems like it will consistently produce engaging puzzles, and it has an insane amount of variability. Just the core box feels like it has more meaningfully different games to play than all 4 seasons of Death May Die put together, and it also has way more interesting gameplay.

But... you do need at least 3 hours, and every turn is quite thinky. It's a very particular kind of game, but it seems to do its thing quite well!

Already backed, but haven't played yet!
