  1. @aniline Sketchy?? Wow, I had no idea. Thanks for the heads-up!
  2. is back from the Christmas murk/long drive/holiday etc. And minus about 10" of hair. Hoping Locks of Love is still taking donations...
  3. "Ditching the V-Word" up at the Escapist: http://bit.ly/8WGl6v . w/Thanks to @pareidoliac for the Deleuze inspiration. :)
  4. @jeroenvanbree !Viva la revolución online!
  5. @JKeverne Thanks for the quote and the discussion. :) Cool to see it collated.
  6. @raphkoster Sadness. But looking forward to what you cook up next, assuming using those tools?
  7. Wow... Metaplace shutting down. :( Seems very sudden. http://bit.ly/57lgwx
  8. RT @dubane: Just got my IGDA Health Plan rate quote. Almost half what I'm paying for COBRA insurance coverage!
  9. @manveerheir @bigrebo The veg soup is very earthy, so depends whether you like that. I usually add things. I love his creamed corn recipe.
  10. Making Alton Brown's vegetable soup ( http://bit.ly/3G8cAt ) in continuing battle against @jayridler's & my colds. Should have baked bread!
  11. @RichardGPettyMD & a Dr. J. D. Pettigrew in Oxford verified his hypothesis: caloric irrigation between hemispheres moderated patient moods.
  12. @RichardGPettyMD I'm reading V. S. Ramachandran's _A Brief Tour of Human Consciousness_ - he wrote about this in _Medical Hypotheses_...
  13. is behind on email. Again.
  14. @JKeverne The flip side, hybridizing imaginative left & analytic right, is in part what makes RPG so powerful - symbolic reality simulators.
  15. @JKeverne To me the symbolic message is danger of analytic brain which = inherently adaptive (+survival) but can have terrible consequences.
  16. @JKeverne I think it is one class of what you're talking about -- not end-all. But other games use it, too -- Earth & Beyond did, etc.
  17. @JKeverne It's possible that games are inherently manic-depressive -- but they may also be inherently bridge-building between hemispheres.
  18. @JKeverne The realization, & one of the powers of intentional analytic exercise, is showing us what we're capable of w/o active compassion.
  19. @JKeverne I think it's difficult to balance, but games like @bbrathwaite's "Train" show how alternation can lead to powerful insight.
  20. @JKeverne What's interesting from a brain standpoint is this notion of exclusive alternation is a symptom of bipolar disorder. :)
