When you start, it's an FPS.

When you get a grasp enough of the language and the locals, you have the option to switch to a turn-based tactical interface. You can switch back and forth freely.

Eventually, you might have a home in the town. You can play the game this way forever if you want.

OR

You can go further.

Set up a coup and install yourself as leader -- or make your own town, out in somewhere wild?

You unlock the Civ-style interface.

some ideas for ways to honour Ursula K. LeGuin:

- punch a fascist
- pet a cat
- invent a gender
- join a collective
- have an orgy
- run for city council
- live in the woods
- protest in the streets
- dream

it's like I still romanticize the idea of community built by shared proximity even though most of my friends live out of state

the mind is its own place etc. etc. but I have always had this intense yet abstract longing to 'belong' in a specific place

and most of the time that 'place' has been some corner of the internet, which I guess is why mastodon appealed to me as well, even though I still barely feel like I'm interacting here with any competence

The Atomwaffen Division is a hate group that's starting to rise up. We need to organize more than ever, and protect each other. Do not trust fascists. Get to know fascist symbols. Memorize them as much as you can.

This was a deliberate murder. A gay Jewish man was taken into the woods after being befriended with some intent to kill. The Atomwaffen Division is training each other and they will kill again.

Mastodon Real Name policy but with a post-modern understanding of "real" and "name" so you call yourself whatever you want decide that it's "real" because what even is that anyway and then Derrida gets upset at you because you're enacting a violence upon yourself by distinguishing yourself from other people

"... (Lewis) Carroll's understanding of communication was far more than interesting than that. He understands that the text you create is an object that collides with the mind of the reader -- and that some third thing, which is completely unknowable, is made."
