also computer scientists: this system where 90% of our field is effectively a patronage system for rich people to treat business investment as a lotto scratch off ticket is actually the best of all possible worlds

I legit don't remember waking up and posting this. But anyway point is almost everyone practices in some level of symbolic magick and they don't realize it. 2020 the year is an effigy, not an actual issue in and of itself.

It's not some shared delusion where if you strip it away people will suddenly realize "Holy shit you're right let's all do something". They'll just feel even more beaten down. If anything I believe the opposite: when 2020 ends a lot of people will feel empowered to make changes they didn't think they could.

You can tell a lot about someone's lot in life based on if their worries about AI tech are "AI will take all our freedoms" or "AI will be used to reinforce the already ongoing theft of our freedoms"

Giving a large enough block of space to let runners stream their own timer and mayyyybe a little extra was a glorious disaster of a decision.

uspol mention, mh + and - averaging out 

I'm gonna be honest, when I saw the news about RBG last night, aside from it turning me from "stressed but managing it now" to "DEFINITELY NOT managing it now", it made me wonder why I was doing a run in Big Bad Game-a-thon. What was the point, really, in a time like this?

But having actually done my run, I feel like I get it now. Giving people something to take their minds off things in turbulent times? Definitely a good thing to do.

So, the thing I was nervous about this morning? (My first-ever run in a gaming marathon?) Went much better than I expected or hoped for. That made me happy for sure. :D

And now that I have that out of the way and got a bit more sleep, I'm starting to process last night's news, and... yeaaaah, shit's fucked. D:

But I still have some positive energy from having SOMETHING go right, even if it's something small. Small solace, but I'll absolutely take it.

Oh gods we're live. The event I've worked on for 3 months to get ready is starting in 10 minutes.

Big Bad Game-a-thon is a kusoge and "unusual" game marathon focusing on speedruns with a dash of showcase and chat-interactive content. We've got mod-staff scheduled 24/7 and are aiming to provide a friendly and positive atmosphere to showcase some weird stuff.

I'll basically be here all weekend.

Schedule: https://horaro.org/bbg2020/schedule
