Each post, more or less, is an attempted encapsulation of something I want to put to words. Usually, my artistic expression is a ritual to expell the demons haunting my psyche. There's something in my head, and I need it to be out of my head and onto a paper or screen so I can stop thinking about it. For my games, that's usually a scene, or a mechanic, or a way of integrating story and gameplay, or something like that. For these posts, it's usually a line of reasoning, or a connection between ideas, or just a way of explaining something. My mind is foggy and slippery, and I'm fairly loss averse, so if an idea excites me I feel a need to quickly solidify it into the more permanent medium of text, for fear of it slipping away.
I usually try to be careful to say things that are right and not say things that are wrong, but I can only do so much. If I could only say things I was completely confident in, I wouldn't be able to say anything at all. I am annoyed that the default interpretation of a statement is that the speaker is certain of what they are saying, unless specified otherwise. I am not certain of anything I say, but sprinkling "I think"s throughout all my sentences can get repetitive. Please assume by default that I am around 60% certain, unless specified otherwise.
I don't consider myself an 'expert' in anything, besides maybe FNaF. Furthermore, I tend to become interested in big, difficult subjects that I can't hope to understand properly without years of study. My misinterpretations will inform my writings. If you do have years of study in a subject I've written about, and you think I'm wrong about something, and you can explain exactly why, I would be very interested in hearing your thoughts. You can write to me in my guestbook, or on discord or neocities, or whereever else you can find me, and I will most likely respond. I'm not generally bothered by receiving messages.
When I come to disagree with, or otherwise dislike, a previous post, I usually do not take it down. I generally try to abide by n0thanky0u's 10th commandment:
Thou shalt not hide thine old blog posts under a bushel, unless they are no longer relevant.
...though I don't know what counts as being "no longer relevant", so I ignore that part. Instead, I make edits, sometimes adding notes about my current feelings. Or I just leave it be, because rereading and rewriting is kind of a hassle, and I'm fairly forgetful. Please understand that my mind can change dramatically, and that none of these posts are necessarily representative of my thoughts at any time other than the time that I wrote them.
I think that's all. This post, like all the others, will be updated if I think of something else to add, or of a better way to say something.
