I need to pause my pursuit for the true ending due to my brain being out of juice after a week of clinched cheeks

Some of the early "harder" fights, which isn't that hard anymore after a marathon of silksong.

What a douche!

I just need to vent about the Conductor’s Melody gauntlet in Silksong. Holy shit. That will be a hard wall for most people?

But at some point in history, something must’ve happened that locked us in a meta cognitive while loop without a breakpoint that made us loop into progress and creativity.
Fueled by unfelt emotions and dissonance.

Jakob Wahlberg @jakobwahlberg.bsky.social · Sep 2

Been playing with the ides that meta cognition has a pathological streak. That our natural state is presence and a silent mind.
However, when the subconscious mind detects dissonance it activates the meta cognition to correct it and get back to presence. Historically, a gentle touch.

It’s… complicated. It’s a mix between procedural and pose-based fancy interpolations.

Jakob Wahlberg @jakobwahlberg.bsky.social · Aug 31

Thank you!

Jakob Wahlberg @jakobwahlberg.bsky.social · Aug 31

Thanks! ❤️

I really enjoy working on this game. It's like writing a tale but in a game engine.

Not sure how I should approach the art pass on levels. I should probably learn Houdini.

Not really, but thanks for the heads up!

Good that I didn’t -actually- tell you that they’re the same color then. Wouldn’t want to be a liar!

Jakob Wahlberg @jakobwahlberg.bsky.social · Jul 8

What if I told you these cups are the same color?

There’s also equally amount of milk in the both coffees.

I think the term helps me to avoid meta cognitive insecurity loops.

Basically consciously letting your current level of knowledge collapse intuitively during creation.

Seperate the creating and the thinking about creating so they don’t zero out eachother.

Jakob Wahlberg @jakobwahlberg.bsky.social · Jul 6

I have started to use the term ”collapse” when relating to decisions during creative processes.
It’s basically ”trust your gut feeling” in nerd tongue.
