Note that is culture.

Looked up “John Mastodon” and found tons of recent astroturfing of this name and recent Twitter account. Not sure if this post is an attempt to create a further paper trail for a fictitious individual - or just participation in the meme of “John Mastodon”

Yo, Session is tight! Just picked it back up recently and forgot how tough it can be. Super fun to cruise around the map and find spots to try tricks over and over. The lack of UI is so nice to just hang out in

I’ve gotten really into rogue-likes (rogue-lites second) and am currently playing through Children of Morta and Devil Slayer Raksasi. Children of Morta is much more fun with another player, the gameplay is enjoyable but the synergy of two players is great. Story is nice with narration for everything.

Devil Slayer Raksasi is a top down, weapon-based, action game set in Chinese mythology. It sorta reminds me of a flash game but the combat is super fun. Distance and timing are crucial, and with any good rogue-like you can get some real steamroller item combos. The gameplay is really fun but the story is mostly forgettable haha

I’m not as well read on the topic but I would say that any society of humans working together would require some form of resolving dispute - provided that the individuals it concerns cannot come to terms on their own.

With the freedom of pure imagination, I can see a society that lives freely where needs are met if possible by those who can and are willing to meet them. In line with utopian imagination, no one desires to exert power over others (unless in consensual and temporary scenarios) so relationships and collaboration are done with a spirit of purpose/being rather than what one will get in exchange.

Is that practical? Not at face value, because even the best intentioned people make mistakes: in the misinterpretation of what was communicated, or unintentionally overstepping what is comfortable. Both of those can be addressed through healthy and empathetic communication, which is a style accessible to all humans. So I could see a society that openly communicates on all sorts of things and clears their relationships by acknowledging when one’s self has a “pebble in my shoe” feeling of something to address.

Pretty sure it is not zoomed in. Mario looks the same, text at top looks the same, and blocks look the same. I could throw this into photoshop and overlay the blocks and texture of the ground in the 2nd image, money on it being the same.

I agree that seeing ground and having the blocks be built up on the ground is psychologically more reassuring.
