we are human, and perhaps that is all we need to be.

Beauty, you find. Bard, you are?

Bard, I am not.

Man, I am.

Men, we are.

So, you may have had a brother. And you may have killed it.

brother (undefined gender)

a continuation olong this line of thought

the definition for 'brother' is from the American Heritage Dictionary

(script under cut)

Brother (noun)

A male having the same parents as another or one parent in common with another.

One who shares a common ancestry, allegiance, character, or purpose with another or others, especially.

So, you may have had a brother.

And you may have killed it. / You know how to say 'death' and 'die' but you have yet to learn the word for 'kill'. / Besides, you are not sure if the sentiment of 'shutting down a program (possibly made by the same person who made you) to save the people and bring the tower to harmony while it trys to kill you too' can be expressed in a single word.

No, it is far too complicated for that. / Then again, maybe Exile wasn't trying to kill you. It could have, that time. But instead, it brought you into Exile. Just as it begged you to, the first time. / You. What did you want from me?

And it feels just a bit unfair.

There is a little click in your head when you 'finish' a language. You do not know what criteria you met. Only that it is 'enough'.

You assume, in hindsight, that it was to discourage you from staying in one floor for too long.

Because you do not know enough. You do not know enough at all.

And you do not know the words to protest this to your maker.

Chants of Sennaar: the real god was the friends we made along the way

[might-be-entropy]

chants of sennaar: "we're not gonna make you learn this super complex language, we'll just simplify it down for you"

me, a linguistics nerd who competed in cryptography contests throughout high school: "NO! PLEASE JUST LET ME HAVE THIS"

in conclusion Chants of Sennaar is a great game but they should make a version that's 10 times harder just for me, thank you.

Me, playing Chants of Sennaar thinking it’s a pretty puzzle game about deciphering logographic languages: Wow beautiful!!!

The game: Social disconnect, language barriers, inequality, xenophobia/tribalism, caste system, terrifying monster, involuntary indentured servitude, hostile AI, virtual reality, oppression, techno-dependency, religion, hedonism, rebellion, exploitation

Hey all, you know how internet searches suck now? When the results are awful, full-of-AI, death-of-the-internet levels of bad?

Start appending date constraints to your searches - "before:2023".

My results have gone from 90% AI bullshit to ~60% usable - which frankly at this point is a huge improvement.
