They might perceive it as sarcasm, but since Germans don't get sarcasm, it would be like a whoosh.

I am curious if anyone is offended by this: german.millermanschool.com and if that would inherently make you German or autistic.

Interior of concert venue with projection of slide that says Bit Brigade

Bit Brigade, last night at the Ritz. Mega Man X was awesome.

Left: Minimal line art drawing of a cat that is enclosed in a pink rectangle. Label: Kitten is completely full of crimes Right: the same cat art but twice the size. The same size rectangle covers only the bottom of the cat. Label: Adult cat contains the same amount of crimes but it does not dominate all of their behaviors

When the circle dissolves, participants return to everyday life, carrying with them the memory of the experience but not confusing it with the outside world.

Finally, both phenomena illustrate how powerful temporary worlds can be. Within the circle, identities may shift, hierarchies may soften, and ordinary constraints may loosen. Yet the boundary is understood.

The same can be said of the consensual sexual gathering in question: its purpose is not productivity or external validation, but shared enjoyment and affirmation within the bounded event itself.

Third, both are autotelic. Huizinga emphasizes that play is undertaken for its own sake. It produces meaning internally rather than instrumentally.

Each participant’s engagement reinforces the shared atmosphere. There is no external product; the value lies in the mutual acknowledgment and synchronization among those present.

both depend on collective maintenance. The magic circle does not exist unless players uphold it, by following rules, sustaining the fiction, and recognizing one another as co-players. In the sexual parallel, the experience is likewise co-created.

Magic Circle Jerk? Based on structure, consent, and reciprocity, I say okay.

Cloudy off yellow beerish thing next to computer with discord and the game Dev going on.

This is now part of the problem and I mean both the ume beer and the game development.

musik - YouTube

@guyintheblackhat.bsky.social I don't know how long I've been building this list there are some amazing finds and some common bs here, please feel free to scrape: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Also, one of the big problems I've had with music on Youtube is finding great videos that aren't official so they end up disappearing. But keep going regardless, it is an excellent idea.

Make this a play list !

"don't you want to know why we keep starting fires?"
"It's my desire."

Alright if the store plays constant Xmas music, I'm likely to dip out till February.

Was that WWDC?
