Infrastructures of mystery — scaffolding the wonder of existence
What if society would recognize and support the value of connecting to life’s mystery?
anticiplay.medium.com
Thread: stuff I'm passionate about/thinking about/working on. Top of mind for me is 'Infrastructures of Mystery' - how do we create societies where people can more easily commune with the depth and mystery of life - whatever that means for them? anticiplay.medium.com/infrastructu...

Terzij de Horde - Our Breath Is Not Ours Alone
TdH are probably the most pro-active multi-member leftist band on the scene. They go out of their way to support those who need it and that motivation is clearly reflected in this new LP. Scream it loud.

Really fucking proud of how Terzij de Horde's Our Breath Is Not Ours Alone has been received. This was a far more direct record that w,e anticipated, as in, we leaned far more into rage which was something that we at times... forgot? *stares in 14-minute tracks*

Terzij de Horde
Wild black metal with a rawness reminiscent of extreme hardcore or screamo.

So @hugobille.bsky.social made all our missions so far load at the same time on the map screen, and this is what I feel when I think about my work week. A friend said it reminded them of planning where to go at a festival - also relatable.
So much to do, so little time. In Kerala, there are a lot of missions you can send Kuyili and her team on. But even we will admit that this would be an overwhelming Monday. Still, the team have to start somewhere!

Sounds like the All Will Rise Perimenopause DLC is coming along nicely
We just found a bug where the line 'I want to destroy something' is part of EVERY set of dialogue choices in the game. Sadly, @hugobille.bsky.social fixed the bug, with some regret in his heart. Nevertheless, a relatable sentiment. #IndieGame #IndieDev #politics

Over the last few months, our team has put a lot of effort into updating our character models, UI and more. It’s great to see the game coming together and looking good (if we do say so ourselves)!

Giving a keynote at the Linecheck festival tomorrow here in Milan. I can't tell you how joyful it is to talk about the topics I'm into now compared to 10 or so years ago 😁

A big fan of @bregjehofstede.bsky.social's ability to go straight to the magic and the mystery of existence. This is her arguing for the importance of magic as a way to engage with the world.
Wat als we magie niet langer zien als de achterlijke voorloper van de wetenschap, maar als een andere, minstens zo waardevolle manier van denken? Precies wat we nodig hebben, nu de afstand tussen de mens en de wereld groter wordt. Verbinding, vervlechting, contact: magie. @bregjehofstede.bsky.social

Excellent article, Joost. I've long been interested in aspects of Mystery, via religious text, and media exploration. I hadn't considered the wide avenues that you've presented here, but they strike a chord.
