If your so worried about randomness why don't you just plan out everything in your life from now until you die, BOOM no more randomness.

[anewaname]

The existence of "random" things is the result of "not knowing"...

You stop randomity by both observing and disseminating. Once both you and others are aware of the cause(s) of the "random thing", it stops being random and becomes both measurable and avoidable; both "measurable and avoidable" to the degree that the observations are accurate.

This applies to the actions of people as well. They are not random, they only seem random. Often, "people's random actions" are a result of their applying incorrect meanings to something they observed.

Everything happens for a reason, although sometimes that reason is really dumb or unfair.

it's not like your roguelike will suddenly transform into a dating app.

Not sure whether I should feel relieved or disappointed now.

But what about a roguelike where you have to date the monsters to defeat them?

I think you're joking but the only feasible way of doing that is called a suicide plan.

It doesn't have to be a suicide plan, just a really well thought out life that probably doesn't take into account the actions of other people.

Imagine trying to live out the last century by planning everything in advance in say, 1920. Ain't gonna work better now...

It will if you live like a hermit in a cave.

Weird to connect to some reddit account you avoid because its toxic and you're being toxic there and the site is toxic, and be notified that 22 days ago someone responded, and be able to see most of the response presumably, and allready have some momentum of aaah common dude water under the bridge, and then the answer is deleted and you can't even respond (unless you pm). Serves me right haha. What I don't like is just noticing or being reminded*** how I might have casually hit closer to home without giving it much thought... usually I cringe at rereading myself, but that comment it's harsh but I see no angle to disagree with myself (yet ).



Oh shit I meant when things are random you sort them alphabetically or by size.

novel ftw now i can disperse my ramblings better without sucking air out joke streaks that happen to be in the appropriate emotion thread (not that I often tend to feel the appropriate emotion but that is a whole other can of worms)

***I was told one or two episodes from back in highschool by old friends where I was like, I did that? That sounds awfully cold, or even mean (and still occupies my mind sometimes, especially because it doesn't seem to align with my self perception of back then, if anything I'd have considered myself "needier" back then). But I guess I allways knew to make it clear I often prefer to be alone (there is stuff that dates back to earlier than highschool) and that's why I was never a target for bullying eventhough I felt small... once one is in direct contact with me I tend to be very obliging.

When things get random, the random get things.

To answer the thread, I immediately blame novel for making random things.
