Yikes and Attention

My post about My Ideas about the Future of Gaming has gotten the Highest rating I have ever had, a +3. That's a big deal for me. First surprise was Jay Dugger liked it enough to plug it. Then there is also the fact Nyranth plugged my post! Mr. Atomic Rocket himself. 

Its a long post so i'm surprised people liked it. Its not giving me ideas about writing as a living, I know very well that my real life work problems and challenges are the inspiration of my writing. So much am I inspired by frustration that I want a Personal Assistant to help me record and develop all my ideas for my own personal wiki. I want to formularize and process all that input and make a learning tool, for the people part of my team. 

Its kinda dangerous amount of information, its all these tricks and techniques I've accumulated but I know I forget as much as I learn everyday THAT I don't take time to document it, drill it in mentally, and further improve on it. Again like my blog post, RPGs are my method of drilling and making automatic a preprogrammed set of systemic responses to difficult circumstances. 

Imagine a person who is slow-witted, but has a good memory. He does not fare well in improvisation, you would think, but surprisingly he does because memory helped him motivate himself to condition an automatic response in a situation. He is not thinking, but reacting in an optimized pre-programmed way. Sure he can't really take advantage of opportunities that fall in his lap, everyone fail to see opportunities everyday, but at least slowly he gets to seize it. He gets to seize more and more, and the reward mechanisms even further fuel that conditioned response. 

Intelligence CAN be manufactured, we can create interesting and complex neurological connections that mimic natural/genetic mental advantages. You can hack your brain to perform like smarter people. Its determinism, but if your ahead of the curve you are still able to exploit the system before it catches up.

Technically I'm done with the project

no charter . after learning what a charter is and because they don't work with a charter I'll never do a project without it. A charter is a written agreement with a project sponsor/employer/ in what outputs to be expected and what points are needed to consider a project done. I've never worked with a character before and was continually frustrated and depressed because of constant revisions and fluctuating tastes and expectations. I'd rather be thought of a total prick than to destroy my life working without a charter. This comes up because, when technically my dad removed me from the website project I'm being asked to arrange it again. This fuels my wishes, not to mention memories of unbearable depressions, to really leave the company I just joined in 2 months. Honestly, I'm here cause my parents want me. They can't make me want this job. I was doing well in the 3d artist track, I was poor but well, less stressed and still hopeful of my future. Personally,

Gurps Mysteries

A really great GM book . If there was Game Mastering for Dummies (not just for DnD or GURPS ), Gurps Mysteries is the next level of Advanced Game Mastering. This is where the players grow up a little, they are not as interested in Hack and Slash anymore and they begin to lean on a more cerebral challenge. One of the best elements of this books is how to communicate clearly to your players through clues and hints in the game. Despite its focus on mystery, this books i great for any intrigue. Eventually mastering these technqies, format, and story telling will allow for games to have a very clear and sophisticated finish. An art onto itself, and not just a game. Of course the most important element is having fun. Fun is when you and the players are on the same page no matter what you throw at them to challenge their characters and give them a chance to shine. Filled with too much information . I'm excited at what I learned about armor smithing in the early Renaissance and late

330mg of Caffeine will do the trick

Ok i got a grande brewed coffee and put 8-10 packets of brown sugar thats about 155 calories. This is twice the amount of Caffeine i get from my 2 shots of espresso in the morning with 4 teaspoons of brown sugar. How do i feel... Better! although my face is reeling from the bitter after taste of the coffee. good coffee is really sour going down and really bitter after. The intense sugar tends to make the sourness taste fruity. Anyway, my is elevated and I'm a bit hyper but i am able to control that better these days. The tons of notebook and the emotional intelligence studies help. Particularly when i've broken down most of my peculiarities and the way I think. Heck, I think i can make an entire wiki based on how I'd react to certain things. It would be very revealing and transparent of me, and of course like the anything so vulnerable subject to abuse when falling in the wrong hands. I have to email, a friend back some airsoft details.
