This is how I built the magic system so far. As the story progresses more and more powerful magic will be introduced. The idea of the 3 S tier branches is to represent body, mind and spirit and they will be the primary anchor of the world domination military campaign the story revolves around. It's gonna be complicated to implement that many different types of magic in a game so the first 2D version I'm gonna aim to implement probably only 3-4 of them. You will play 4 different characters and one of them will just be a 17th century basic soldier with a musket, another one a samurai, another one the female fire mage that's secondary main character in the story and Nerathar the main character who uses blood magic. It's gonna be lore based so people get invested in the story. Kinda like Fire Emblem but a fast paced side scroller instead of turn based combat. Something like this I've been procrastinating on the Youtube marketing lately but just turned the magic system into a Short.

That's a shallow view of it. Sounds more like a lazy stereotype than an accurate representation of the movement.

I know a few friends that have also watched actualized.org and I met a few users from here in real life

That makes sense. I had a similar view until the leaks with the IDF soldier printing 2 for 1 t shirts for when they killed pregnant palestinian women. https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna29837969

Gemini gave an 80% of some sort of altseason in the next 6 months due to the short term liquidity pump in M2 so I put a bit of money into some altcoins. I'll watch how it moves over the next few months and let you guys know. I bought some Pengu and Bittensor. It's not much money and I still think focusing on business and primary cashflow is more important but I think with short term liquidity this move could pan out.

@kavaris Appreciate the thoughts, man! To answer your question on Nerathar: he definitely sits in that morally grey, divine-warlord territory rather than being a straightforward hero or villain. He doesn't start out wanting to conquer the world; his motivation stems from family tragedy and survival. But once he master's blood magic and begins dismantling major empires, his goal shifts. He sees the 17th-century world which as that time was mostly religious wars, political corruption, and human mortality as completely broken. He's not a reluctant leader or a lighthearted rogue. He's a ruthless conqueror who forces his own deification to build an immortal empire, eventually taking the fight directly to the Abyss. The 2D roguelite is just the baseline to get the core combat and aesthetic right before expanding into the broader universe. I'll keep dropping updates here as the worldbuilding develops!

A way deeper understanding of gender dynamics and sociology as a whole.

@zazen Perhaps it will end up in a really good deal being put together and USMCA turning into the previously talked about North American Union https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Union BRICS is looking pretty financially powerful with China going into the next 10 years but if the US and Canada make a good deal we have a pretty powerful industrial sector as well, not quite China level but still that combined with good relations with Europe is solid.

That's really cool, I like that. I'm not Indian but I wanna incorporate some elements from multiple cultures and religions of that time. Hinduism is one of them so mystical creatures from the Hindu lore is cool. I wanna take some elements from Shaktism as well specifically some of the goddesses they have and their ideas on feminine and masculine polarities. The lore is also about exploring immortality and life after death as part of the story is that the main character deifies himself through the word conquest and also ends up given the power to resurrect the dead and thus he creates an immortal empire across earth and the Abyss. Sort of how Hades 2 is about invading the underworld

Intellectuals were banned?

The story is about a mage named Nerathar who travels accross different Kindgoms in the 17th century and eventually conquers the world. It's a dark fantasy world with magic and the point is to explore how magic and the scientific revolution/age of enlightenment of the 17th/18th century would pair up. The first version of the game will be a fast paced 2D roguelite hack and slash type of game. Like Oblivion Override or Dragon is Dead From where if it's successful I wanna develop a wider scale game like a 3D action adventure game and the vision 10 year down the line would be to turn it into a VR web 3 MMORPG. The world-building, anime and TCG are aspects of it I'm developing alongside the game.

Come on bro, is this first time? A good ratio is like 2-4 times more women than men. We need about 500 women for the amount of men that we have on this forum. Special

I think the two best Pokemon products by far are the Pokemon TCG and Pokemon Go. I remember people in my neighbourhood playing Pokemon Go and running around city trying to catch pokemons fighting gyms. I was too into pickup at that time so I didn't play but I regret it. It seems really cool and I think one of the downsides of video games is it cuts you off from the real world so augmented reality is a massive innovation to this issue. I will find a way to incorporate it in to this project. Maybe literally copy it and you can find cool abyssal creatures around your city in places where you have to physically scan them with your phone or AR glasses to collect them. Pokemon Cards are an insane innovation in terms of collectibles and are a new class of assets in and of themselves. I've been following the trend blowing up since the past year, it's very fascinating to me as the other flaws of video games I see is that you waste your time playing them. If you can play my game and you collect real assets and actual cards that go up over time, then that will crush and give it potential to also be worth billions if it scale to that level. Pokemon Cards in and of themselves have a market cap of $2.5 billion so that's pretty cool. I designed some playing and collectibe cards for Legend of the Abyss, I played it with some friends it was not that bad. I made it based off of heartstone where you get an Aether point each round and each card has a specific aether cost to play. Cool I'll message you.

Yeah they should push back on some of that. I think the US will pull out of NATO though and will exclude Canada from security guarantees if the deal goes poorly and I will have to go up North to get killed by Chinese and Russian robots while freezing my ass off so I think that's truly the option they better fucking avoid. Canada doesn't even meet Nato dues so our military equipment is dog shit as well. If that actually happens I'm moving to Europe and joining @TheGod in Marid; you better believe I'm not enlisting.

What movies have you watched that you really liked lately?

I disagree. His work allows you to master your mind and remove the insecurity and mental blocks that allows you to actually achieve your wildest dreams and achieve your life purpose. Not everyone wants to be Eckhart Tolle and get enlightened on a park bench. If that's you then great but there's an infinite universe out there of awesome things to do. The main product of this community is the life purpose course which specifically talks about how to achieve your wildest vision. It's not a standard spiritually bypassing stay in your room and do nothing based community.

You didn't read the thread? I've already addressed the parts on appearing strong vs posturing and triggering ego unnecessarily.

Really? Does the opposite for me. If I don't watch it my sex drive becomes so huge that looking at women outside makes me feel physical pain and I will not be able to stop the impulse to try to get laid in ways that are not productive to my life.

Arguing with people on the actualized.org forum of course, 8/10 therapist recommend this method. The other 2 are incels. More seriously as an INTP I have less of a need for socialization than you do and what I value is intellectual companionship so people that understand my ideas and wanna talk about them so I mean AI has kept me quite good company these past few months. I also have phone calls with friends in other cities occasionally but honestly Gemini helps more.

Where do you think his bias comes from on this issue? He is not Israeli so I don't really get it.

Yes I'm experiencing an exponential curve in the things that I'm able to accomplish that I only dreamed of 10 years ago. I still have some major roadblocks and bottlenecks that are stopping me from really actualizing my full life purpose but the past 5 years have been a blast. I've been able to get paid to host parties and photoshoot with models, host my own fashion show, get into the concert industry and overall be on a career path that is both fun and lucrative in the end. It's not magic and its step by step so I had to move back with my dad to save on money because my cashflow isn't there yet but the dream is happening; slowly but surely. If you have Instagram you can look at the fashion show I hosted and how it came together over a few months last year here : https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18060769145048516/ Not that long ago I was a basement nerd playing League of Legends 12 hours a day so I'm quite happy with how my life is going. In 5 years the cashflow should be solid and I should be able to travel the world, date all the women I want and be able to contribute positively to the lives of the people in my communities.

Good, that's a great place to start. You should have goals otherwise there is literally not much point to life. What do you like about reality that you want to experience more of? If you're feeling anhedonia which is reduced ability to feel pleasure that's a key part of depression then at least start by anti goals which are things that you dislike or hate. So for example I dislike having another man tell me what to do and being forced to work jobs so financial independence through entrepreneurship is one of my core life goals.

You're mixing up executive strategy with legal validity. The administration used IEEPA first because national emergency declarations skip procedural reviews entirely. Once SCOTUS struck that down for lacking explicit tariff language, switching to explicit trade statutes like Section 338 or Section 301 is standard administrative maneuvering not a sign that the argument is weak and won't work. Section 338 grants broad authority to combat perceived trade discrimination against US commerce; it isn't limited to a strict line-by-line tariff parity match. Also court challenges take months or years to wind through the Court of International Trade. Even if SCOTUS eventually rules against them, the tariffs sit in place during the litigation. Canadian exporters and supply chains have to deal with the immediate economic reality today, not a theoretical court injunction 1 year or more from now. Section 338 is from the 1930s and has no recent precedent so it will perhaps successfully be challenged down the line but for the foreseeable future it will allow the trade war to go on.

Nightgame is good for extroverts. Introverts should go for online dating undoubtedly. When I was in my fuckboy phase I would get laid every week from online dating. You get tinder platinum for $50, you 1-2 boosts at $5 each and drinks and you get laid consistently with almost mathematical precision for like $20 lol. Mankind was not supposed to have this power, its too powerful! They key is to have a pulling methodology in place. I would invite girls to have drinks by the lake and wow surprise I live on the lake and was we go to the liquor store to get drinks I would say wanna go back to my place and listen to music and chill and 80% would be down. Some dudes have weird online dating strategy where they meet the girl next to her place and then try to invite themselves over or meet halfway where there is no option to pull and that's just self-sabotage. One of my ex clients told me this story where he was at the park drinking wine with a girl and hitting it off and she was into it and he tried to fuck her behind a bush and it almost worked but her logical brain took over and was like wtf is going on NO and the magic did not happen that night. You should ideally have a place by yourself with mood lighting, a smooth sex music playlist ready to go and good smells to make her relaxed and get her to escalate on you if anything. I had a messy af roommate that made our life a living hell but when he would have a date he would clean the whole apartment spotless each time, it worked. Key to online dating is to have the right archetype in your pictures, you can do it well even if you're not that good looking. Like have bdsm handcuffs, motorcycle, cigar, nice place overlooking the city, nice dress shirt, shirtless if you're fit, etc. If a chick is looking to get fucked she should find your profile easily in the sea of boring dudes.

@Carl-Richard Makes a lot of sense, I like the job system's inter reliance I wanna implement that for LotA as well. Thanks for the detailed explanation, 3 hours on that video is a bit much but I'll watch like a 20 mins video and get back to you with some insights I get about the game that we can discuss. That 70% community poll is cool, I'll write that down. One massive consistent complaint across most major games is that game dev just don't listen to the community so clearly there's something there. @AerisVahnEphelia Love it, it's common for smart talented people to want to build their own projects instead of working regular prestige jobs like FANG. I completely relate. I also agree with your points. Soon enough I think you will be able to make a one prompt game. Project Genie by Google Deepmind is working on precisely that. My prediction is that it's gonna lead to a bunch of generic games flooding the market which is why I'm looking to build massive amounts of depth into my project before this drops so that when it does I can skip a lot of the boring coding and just plug my system into Genie and other systems that have a first movers advantage on the wave of new game dev that are gonna pop up once everyone can make a game in 20 mins.
