I've only played Witcher 3, and I thought it was obvious that it's Ciri's story being told from the perspective of the supporting cast, and that is an incredibly cool literary device.

Do you have unprompted creativity in other areas?

Like, I struggle with traditional writing, but I make miniature dioramas. It's occasionally unprompted; I recently bought frozen shrimp and thought the lid was sorta window-shaped, so now I'm making it into a window seat for a 1:12 scale treehouse library diorama. I wasn't planning the diorama first, the whole scene came to mind unbidden, and now I'm making it.

I feel like it's the same thing as what you're describing, but I don't know if you see it as different or not.

It was this:

Someone seeing a banal object, devoid of story and history and just merely existing, and then succumbing to emotions over loose connections to human characteristics is what I don’t relate to.

Seeing creativity as "succumbing to emotions" sounds like you think its a bad thing that your parents told you not to do.

Yeah, I don't like the Dems, but I like the idea of a single party Republican state even less.

Its sort of sounding like somebody got irritated with your creative process when you were a kid, and now you're trying to reconcile that with other people being allowed to emote and create "for no reason".

Yeah, its irritating how instruction manuals forget that people don't know.

Its ridiculous that they don't explain how the "default" is. Needle at its zenith, so everything is lined up and accessible, and presser foot up so the tension is disengaged. I've taught a few friends how to sew, you're not the only one with these struggles.

I've been sleeping as 20 since I got chickenpox as a kid. The itchiness was completely unbearable, and I never liked how much pajamas bunch up when I toss and turn anyways. Now I only wear them on the rare night that it drops below freezing.

Clearly you are trying to be nice by lying about how mad you are

I don't think I've ever seen my job in a movie. The only place I could imagine industrial embroidery ever showing up on screen would be as the setting for a chase scene or something.

I remember patty-cake games being super popular in elementary school, and it switched to hacky sack games in late middle school through high school. I think the graph is accurate.

Man, they're taking the "dark ages" part seriously.
