⁂Chapter 2
A post, Sorta the 1st Post
§I - The big thought of the day
I was thinking about what I enjoy in a video game: open-ended decisions, an infinite world, RPG elements, ect. and an idea came to mind: With the Rift and Vive coming out soon and technology ever advancing, imagine a world without consequence. No laws. No rules. No standards. No money. A video game with graphics so real that it is unrecognizable from the real world except for the decision to feel pain and the ability to cause actual bodily harm. Sure, some basic human rights would have to be assured. (IE the ability to "warp/teleport from any location" to avoid rape and the ability to "block" someone else) Given this future is probably coming, how do you think it will reshape our world? Will real world politics be affected? Will this mean free education? What part of this future stands out to you? I've already read Ready Player One and admittedly my ideas have been influenced by that, but I also imagine it as something more open, like the internet.
So, apparently police body cams may not work as well as we thought, if this is how they plan to hold the footage.

This really pisses me off. The footage should be screened, yes, but it shouldn’t cost anything for the media to get it
§III - From the Klien Bottle
We may have a ninth planet! (again).

Now, personally, I don’t think we should call it a planet, or if we do it should be part of a sub-set, like dwarf planets. It doesn’t make sense to consider something so different to be of the same class.
§IV - Ooh, lookie a pretty picture! (or two)
I’ve been really interested in 80′s stylized design for a long time, so enjoy this piece by http://valenberg.tumblr.com/
as well as this, because, dammit, I like wearing tails. My fursona as drawn by Indiefoxtail here on Tumblr.
So far today I’ve made a custom firefox skin, played guitar (electric, acoustic and bass actually) and watched some Kill la Kill, which may be the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen.
ehh, I’ve been better. I’ve been a bit lonely as of late because I’ve been so busy with school and work. Also, today I had to deal with one of my better friends getting picked on and stopping that. Yay.
(Don’t worry, I’ll never post a link to a dangerous website)
(may require some computational power)
This will just be a question I have each day, for today I just want to know what you all think of this format and how it could be improved, I’ll usually have a thought provoking question here though.

*Note, for now, I’m just trying to get back to my old voice for writing these, which may take me a bit, so my input on what I find may be a bit lacking and less entertaining than usual, so please, stay tuned, it will get better. I am filled with determination.
