Armen T. informed me I should discuss the Easter game Armenians play
there is one involving hitting another’s egg with your egg to win theirs
it can be fun and involves colored eggs during the holiday

154: Making Something Of Your Own Versus Watching The Best Others
we have ratios of creation and consumption in our regular habits
both are fine, based on how they fit you
my message here is about how I prefer making at any level, versus seeing something that is amazingly produced
seeing an amazing production could be done by someone other than me
making an audio or video or article includes a bit of my thoughts and depth
adding a layer is something we can do to all that we see

153: Keeping Yourself In The Flowing Mindset When Difficulties Arise
we build things brick by brick, and keep a focus on steps being small
large steps ahead of us look too heavy to get moving on
when movement is in place, chips in your glass are not to be looked at
keep the bigger context in mind, and let the flow remain in place
your continuous efforts are way bigger than any small difficulty is valued
also included material from Skin In The Game about the intolerant minority
speaking out makes a few louder than the vast majority

150: Fortnite, Epic Games, ZZT, And Games I Played In The Early 1990s
the currently popular game called Fortnite was created by Epic Games
they were started by Tim Sweeney in 1991/1992
he created ZZT, one of the earliest games I remember playing on computer
you could create your own worlds on it, just like some games today
people like the ability to modify
other ones I enjoyed from them were One Must Fall 2097(which the music for this episode comes from), Jazz Jackrabbit, and the Unreal Tournament series of games
a generation of youth is now playing games that continue this streak

Nassim Nicholas Taleb has a new book called Skin In The Game

you should be feeling the bad or good consequences of your actions
long ago we had more emotional connection to our life decisions
separately, listening is a key aspect to connecting with others
talking is fine sometimes, but listening is not done much these days

148: Pictures With Words On Them, And Starcraft Gaming Of The Past
lately I have been making pictures with words or screen names on them
it combines the real with the verbal or internet-type material
everyone has things they can make or choose to post
used to play Starcraft with a crew, and it was a great cooperative game
we would battle against enemies, but worked together as a unit
