When people's #ideas aren't very solid or lack merit you will find that they insert words like "legitimate", "healthy" or "natural" a lot. If you are often seeing these words as prefixes then be cautious about what you're reading.

In my ideal democracy, a politician's career ends with the ceremonial public termination using the Jacobin method if he does something against the sovereign.

(Yes, I know the French Revolution was a failure, fucking Robespierré and d'Anton turned it into a regime against the people by perverting the principles of democracy but still the joke amuses me)

Just mocking up a 1-bit narrative game about rock climbing in perilous weather with your friend. You and the CPU plan out 3 actions in advance to take simultaneously in sequence, but you can't see what the other person is planning. Don't stretch the rope too thin and don't go too slowly.

This idea came about as I was thinking about the Prisoner's Dilemma and also if there was a way to create a cooperative rock / paper / scissors game.

#gamedev #ideas #inspiration #1bit #pixelart #pixels

A 1-bit mockup of a game screen. The CPU's selected actions are hidden behind question marks. The player's selected actions are only half-selected. The UI indicates how much distance there is left to climb, how much rope is used between you and your partner, some flavor text about the environment, and a tip / hint system.

I keep seeing extremely unique ideas for books, comics, shows, and movies, all of which sound like things I never knew I needed, and I want to see more.

In as much, or as little detail as you feel is needed to explain it, I want to see all the "never knew I needed it, but now I need it so bad" story ideas that you may think are just random as hell.

I'll add some tags so maybe we see a lot of ideas because picturing so many of them is just extremely pleasant.

Tabletop RPG question for all you awesome GMs and Players out there: how do you organize and track information in your games?

As in, how do you keep track of what plots are in motion, what NPCs and villains are up to? How do you organize your game worlds and settings?

When I was a teen, I used to make huge worlds, dozens of NPCs with their own character sheets, crazy-person™ webs of relationships and plot threads, maps of the world and each setting the charterers would likely explore, and so on.

It was awesome...and super-mega-overkill.

Since then, I've developed a minimalist index card system that relies on mostly improv and letting the players make assumptions or assertions about the world that I then weave into the established lore. It was inspired by the Lazy GM (DM?) and the collaborative history-building game, Microscope. I also use the 5-room dungeon / 5-act play structure for plots and encounters.

But I want to hear your ideas. What tips, tricks, successes and failures have you had in this area?

1: The Soul Merchants, practitioners of Necronomeconomics, have a great deal for you with very forgiving repayment options.

2: Magic is slowly fading from the land. This is of great concern to the local Liches, who have an existential interest in magic sticking around.

Hi folks,

Just a quick reminder that August's #Bletchley & #MK #MathsJam is:

- *tomorrow*: Tuesday 22nd!
- at Brewhouse and Kitchen in Central Milton Keynes (close to the theatre, *not* to be mixed up with the Midsummer Tap which is very close and has "pub and kitchen" on the sign!).
- From 7pm

Bringing yourself is an absolute must, and any #mathematical #ideas, #conundrums, #puzzles, #tidbits, #games, #books, #toys or #tales are encouraged but completely optional.

If you're able to let me know if you're intending to come I'd appreciate it, otherwise just turn up. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

See you there,

Tom

Going through Samsung Notes to ensure I transfer the correct weird bits and blurbs of ideas I've frantically typed throughout the last months/years for potential development into WordPress posts via the excellent Jetpack app for Android.

(I know I *could* write these blurbs directly in Jetpack, but the thing is, not all my notes would necessarily be turned into blog posts, as some are just random notes to myself).

Anyway, the reason for my semi-obsessive note taking is a creativity-related concept I've been grappling with for 30 years now.

Throughout the years, I've found that no matter HOW great and memorable your idea is, you will NOT remember it later. There are exactly two paths. You need to 1) write it down AS SOON AS YOU THINK OF IT, so you can remember it and enjoy it or scrap it later, or, 2) get used to a 'zen' kind of acceptance thing for ideas, to just let them go when you can't remember them later.

The price of remembering an idea is writing it down immediately, wherever you are. Somewhere you can find it.

Or maybe your thing is voice notes, if you remember to check them. I don't like voice stuff. I'm old. I write! 🤣

How do you capture and keep track of your (old) creative ideas? 💡

Dalsgaard and colleagues recently found that revisiting old ideas is valuable to designers' creative practice.

Yet they lack a structured approach to managing ideas. 🎲

This hits home as well, looking at my drawer full of random and inaccessible paper notes. 😅

Any recommendations? (hoping to learn!)

Midnight thoughts on #SocialMedia:

Given the name, social media is meant to #social. It’s meant to be an exchange of #ideas and #information. It’s meant to be where you find people with similar #interests or #experiences.

But, left unmoderated, social media tends towards a cesspool of bigotry. We have seen small cohorts of people with terrible ideas gain traction and spread their influence, with the platforms unable or unwilling to stem the tide of hatred.

I love following people on whatever #platform it is, and seeing their wonderful pieces. It saddens me that some people see social media as purely a way to get money into their pockets, where every post they put up in selling something and their is little actual #engagement with their audience.

So, if you’ve seen this, please buck the trend and engage in the social media platforms of your choice, #talk to people, create a social space within your own posts and encourage others to follow your lead.

A thought, from a discussion this morning: one of the problems our society faces is that kindness is local (reinforced by small communities and reliant on individuals helping each other - multiple small events) and therefore not easily scalable, while competitiveness is extremely scalable. But kindness and humanity are the most important things in life. We all need to keep putting small local effort in to make sure the important stuff is at the forefront. #ideas #humanity

Everyone knows that Deep New York was designed by swarmer robots (only a few know that it was also designed by the ants)

So the ants in this story are typically about 15cm or 6in long. These are the workers, the majors and queens are larger. Some queens about the size of a cat. Individual ants are about as intelligent as dogs, but the more of them you have in close proximity the more complex their reasoning. The ants also come in small sizes all the way down to dust-mite sized ants who work on electronics. #threads #ideas
