The Dudeism Forum

I was watching the movie the end of tour the other night. (Great movie)
The David Foster Wallace character was describing a situation that led to a breakdown that he had experienced. His mistake he said was doing the "American thing" of looking for the one grand act that would fix everything.
Needless to say I was reminded of this thread.
If the dude teaches us anything I'd suggest that one lesson would be the value of modest goals. Just saying.
BTW I recommend the movie. I have resisted going into the David Foster Wallace thing but after seeing the movie I may need to surrender while still fearing an exercise in massive self indulgence as Bret Easton Ellis accused dfw of.

The dude teaches us the value of being content.
Fuck it dude. Life goes on.
You can't be worried about all that shit.

Check out ev nova or more specifically the nova bible its from what i gather documenting its system. The game itself may not be compatible with your computer. At the site they have all sorts of fan made plug ins ant tools made by fans to make more. I'm not saying pirate the os just that there is some data you can wade through i do not own anything on that site. That said i'm sure there are many open source game tools and you probably know more then me about this.

I was in no way advocating plagiarism. That was just a thing that exits that you have been made aware of.

Side note.

   It would be interesting to add values to environmental aspects that correlate with the elements so that if you aren't in tune enough with one you'll miss details and possibly interactive ones, but if one becomes to far ahead of the opposing elements then even more basic things disappear from reality while manifesting new beauties and horrors. Then once everything is maxed out the all of the perceptions blend and the horror things from one element turn out to be the beauties of another elemental understanding that seemed terrible only due to their absence from your mind.

Your the guy doing this not me. These are only thoughts that upon hearing may cause you an idea is all.

Well then my initial thoughts may not be for this project. It would lend to a surreal nature. Like if fire was maxed and nothing else developed the most of base reality would be missing and replaced by shadows made of fire that still acted as a barrier or there base function an each imbalance unique and interesting and clearly not in this project's timeline, but hopefully maybe later.

I shall return with more thoughts later.
