I saw this game in an Instagram ad and I am now 150 levels in ๐ญ Iโm not sure if I regret it. Does it go on forever?
itโs one of those things where I fell for it because the lady in the ad was fucking up the most simple level 1 stage with two strings and now here I am
I am pretty good at this. It has zero positive impact on my life.
Maybe next I will try one of those mafia games. Or the โfight off the zombie apocalypse with sexy gun girlsโ games. Or one of those dating sims. Who knows. I can do anything
Should Visa play and review all those Instagram game ads
now scrolling past all my friends to look for Instagram game ads... this is the first one I encountered after lots of scrolling but nah I donโt like this sort of thing. I kinda wanna try that Game of Sultans role playing game
Alright cool I just wanna learn some Ottoman Empire history. Did you know the ottomans had very pale skin? I did not know this. Learning so much already

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to
force a refresh
well thatโs a strong opener Iโll give them that
Iโm noticing a lot of parallels with Game of Sultans, thereโs a kind of design language embedded in the interface. A lot of things on the screen but Iโm learning to click on the next step the way we learn to ignore ads
something that is cringe in one status economy can be extremely based in another status economy
part of the big shakeup of the world since smartphones, twitter, whatsapp, youtube, etc is the ability for people in one status economy to directly observe the people in another, and to dunk on them for ingroup points, which kinda creates a Neo-Hobbesean "war of all against all"
we know from history โ relatively recent history, even โ that each new advancement in media technology catalyzes a corresponding culture war, as people discover exciting new opportunities to be dicks to each other
I think some people are kind of wary of being too happy... in part because they intuit, (correctly I think), that being happy makes you a target for the miserable
my experience of of social/cultural as I progress on my journey has led me to revise some beliefs โ Iโm increasingly convinced that anybody who achieves โsuccessโ past a certain threshold *has* to have some sort of inner psychological sanctum, be religious almost
interesting thing here is that... I think- if you are moderately/averagely unhappy, this actually does work as a sort of defence against being exposed to the *most* miserable/angry/grumpy people
U really wanna know? Ok so I was born a weird kid, a chess piece on a checkers board. I was a misfit in my family & my society. I found true kinship in books, then in music, and the internet. So I spend my life finding other misfits & building a home for them. Pretty str8forward
home isnโt a place but a project, itโs anywhere you add meaning to. home is relationships, home is history. home is in the shared understanding between you and me. home is a story we tell ourselves and each other and anybody else who belongs here
