Understanding a cat

Micheal had recently become a god. Being an inherently regular and rather lonely individual his first act with his new found power was simply to understand how his cat was feeling. Frankly overstepping communication boundaries that the cat had clearly tried to set, which Micheal had missed in his previous idiotic nature. 

Micheal immediately felt a great and sudden pain. One with reasons that are quite hard to put into words, but as you've taken the time to read or listen to this I guess I should try to explain in an easier to consume way. A way that Micheal would have understood before he became slightly less idiotic. 

The human race in a famous decision had decided that the world and all of the universe must exist in a third dimensional space. Believing that because this is what we see and how we interact with the world, this is how things must be. Not taking the time to think that deciding our perspective is the default one is rather narcissistic. For example Micheal’s eyes had the ability to see three primary colors, which scientists and other important men have decided are red, yellow and blue. Mantis shrimps however can see up to twelve primary colors, which because the scientists can't see them, never got a name. The mantis shrimp of course gave all these colors a name but has realized that the scientists most likely won't care about his opinion. All of this is based on science, with the understanding that because science works this way for us it must work this way for everything.

What the human race didn’t factor in, with its own apparent narcissism, is that science is relatively non-linear for most species and most species play by human rules because humans seem rather like a mean clique at your local high school, and they don’t want to be talked down to. This is why the sudden shock of seeing life and the somewhat unconventional, decidedly cooler version of science his cat had, gave Michael the start of a great deal of pain. 

Furthermore, a great deal of rather unconventional scientists decided that humans feel a base set of emotions, and therefore a lot of the animals and other organisms that humanity didn't let name themselves, must feel the same way. That or that these organisms must be fundamentally simpler, and be less complex, because no one is allowed to be better than humanity. What humanity didn't keep in mind is that these organisms don't care about humanity or its rules, and were only polite enough not to correct us for getting their name wrong. 

For this reason it was incredibly hard for Micheal to understand his cat as his brain had to make room for several new emotions that he previously had no clue about. This also provided an incredible amount of pain. 

Finally the Egyptians believed Cats were some form of revived holy symbol. Which is like seeing a fish flying in space and saying I guess it could survive in water as well, but cats didn’t mind being bragged about, even if it came from the same people making a giant triangle for an organism who is already dead. This belief though as well as the popular saying “A cat has nine lives” isn’t too far off, in the sense that nine isn't too far off from infinity. 

All cats, essentially are one cat, and we're annoyed that humans can't figure that out, not that they think they couldn't explain it, they just haven't had the motivation to yet. Essentially the same cat which if we go by michaels understanding is called Admiral  after it dies is born as a new cat, and has repeated this cycle for every single cat that we currently know and will continue forward into every cat we will hence know. This cycle will theoretically happen until the entire universe is swallowed up by black holes, and most likely after, as a cat will infinitely land on its feet even if it has been spaghettified by gravity.

Micheal in one moment, understood not only Admiral, but all the names Admiral had received, as well as his annoyance of everyone ignoring his say on the matter. Micheal also understood all eighteen-thousand-five-hundred and fifty-four emotions “Admiral” has felt in his life. Despite all of these emotions, ironically the one missing was the feeling of ennui. As despite all the lives this cat has lived, he had never yet felt too bored, even when put into a box by an insane philosopher, or launched into space by a group of patriots. 

You see despite living so long, the cat had not yet grown tired of tuna, and warm sun rays, that it felt with a different perspective of the world, and experienced with different emotions. This all hurt poor Micheals head, but despite all of this Michael mainly had just felt bad that it invaded the cat's personal life, as he finally understood the cat to be a great deal annoyed by this.

After nearly 9 months of not accomplishing anything significant in terms of engine development I have decided to rewrite most of Cat Story’s engine to fix several of the flaws that prevented progress once I had cross-platform compatibility working.

Visual Studio allows you to write bad code that’s not to spec and “fixing” my code to be compatible with Linux builds revealed a lot of really interesting problems.

Lots of other core components had problems anyway because a lot of the central code holding the entire engine together came from a time when I was still learning the basics of C++ and didn’t understand how pointers worked.

The good news: Doing it the second time will go much faster, and I actually know what I’m doing this time.

Undertale’s 5th anniversary happened and it was the kick in the ass I needed to get back to work.

Thanks again, Toby.
