[At party] haha I guess you could say I'm a bit of a romantic. Yeah. No like the way that the material worldview has devalued any introspection on the experience of being a human and explorations of its subjectivity with a sort of reverse-gnostic incuriosity frightens me on a deep level

I like the pseudo latin phrase "Illegitimus non carborundum" cause it can either mean "shift your mindset" or, failing that, "kill the bastards"

I once took a train to washington which was on the rails for a full 24 hours. I mostly camped out on a table opposite the food kiosk. I distinctly remember a guy come in and play some third person narrative game (cant remember) with a fat ass blue glowy protogen oc modded in. Just remembered this.

One more, this time with a station. This particular texture (which is actually an AO map of a random trimsheet I had lying around BTW) is a gift that just keeps giving.
