The slowness is what makes it good. It is deep. You can play and savor it. Combat is more strategy than action, which is better because it require preparing resources rather than just swinging a sword. And it requires growing your stats. No. Oblivion was bad even when it came out. It's not just aesthetics, Oblivion was horribly balanced and there was no joy playing it after Morrowind. All the depth and beauty is gone. I was very dissapointed in Oblivion back when it came out. I expected it to be like Morrowind, but they watered everything down to the point of generic action RPG.

There is more stress in organizing the content of the video than dealing with its release. I used to stress more, but these days the content I release is so solid that there's little to stress about other than creating it.

Health problems interfere with my output of content. But I have plans for lots of new content. I've also put a lot of work into the blog over the last year.

No. What I share with you comes with years of profound intellectual effort. What you're sharing with me is AI slop that doesn't come close to understanding the nuance of the things I teach. This work requires serious personal contemplation and consciousness work, not appeals to conventional wisdom. Your AI is citing Daniel Dennett, an idiot philosopher who denied that consciousness exists. I will not waste my time engaging with such material because it comes from a mindless content mill. Your method here IS epistemic self-deception. Thinking that you can use an AI to think for you and make sense of the radical things I talk about. Consciousness/God cannot be understood mechanically -- which is what you're trying to do. And then you want me to waste my time engaging with this mechanical nonsense. Which is an insult to what I do.

The opposite is more likely: AI becomes the next source of dogma and group-think. People stop thinking entirely and just parrot AI. Already happening on this forum.

@xeontor You are abusing AI by not thinking for yourself. If you keep posting threads like this I will start locking them. The entire point of this work is to think deeply for yourself. Not this AI slop. This AI stuff seems smart but it's not. It's just a new version of religion. This will keep you from serious understanding. You are welcome to critique my work, but do so using your own brainpower.

I never claimed that. Stop this.

Well, you only got finite time in this life. So yeah, you can't do everything you might want. But if you are young you have time for several careers if you plan your life out well.

Hold my beer.

The real question is, Why wouldn't you? Only a fool doesn't want more Consciousness.

Materialism is blindness to magic

@nexusoflife Yes. ..... And then there's Alien Awakening.

Portland is not good for game. Austin is good and hippie vibes.

This dude just posted a real Awakening:

Of course. Way deeper.

Real = Imaginary So there's no problem. You get two for the price one.

There is no fucking father! YOU ARE GOD.

You don't necessarily need to let it go actively like that. Just carry on with normal life. Distract yourself a bit with something fun.

Yes! Yes! Own it! You are God. This is real Awakening.

The suffering a man goes through is a blessing. It's what makes you strong. Don't wish for the easy life. The easy life is an illusion. Love the challenging path.

No, it's not desperate. It's intelligent. Staying in your hometown is lame and bad for your growth. You move to where the best learning is. Is it desperate to move for university? Why don't you just stay and get educated in your village by your local village idiots?

Keep your doses low, don't take often, and monitor yourself for signs of mental destablization after trips. If your mind starts to destabilzie or your baseline state of consciousness starts to become weird, discontinue use.

Morrowind is hardcore and old school. If you need a modern action-oriented cinematic game then it's not for you. Morrowind is like a musty old wine.
