2     Emoji Ball Bounce — Anchor 2.
3   
4     Physics scaffold. 480x270 viewport at scale 3, 200x200 EBB-style arena
5     centered, four sealed-corner static walls. Balls bounce under EBB physics
6     (restitution 1, no friction, no damping, gravity 1, CCD bullet) with all
7     six EBB collision energy systems ported, plus two single-ball-only
8     additions (wall-hit-driven bypass, horizontal-bias kick) and EBB-faithful
9     directional squash on wall hits.
10  
11    Input:
12      space     — spawn an additional ball at a random arena position
13      backspace — reset to one ball at center
14  
15    Energy systems (see arena_energy block for details):
16      1. ball energy boost (+9% per ball-ball)
17      2. wall energy boost (probabilistic, shaped by system_energy)
18      3. ball-ball energy redistribution
19      4. high-speed bypass (multi-ball ball-ball, EBB-faithful 0.7 scale)
20         single-ball variant: wall-hit-driven, cubic_in curve, 0.92 scale
21      5. low-horizontal kick (multi-ball)
22      6. stuck-ball hop (per-ball, in ball:update)
23      + horizontal-bias kick on floor contacts when below midline > 1s
24  
25    Render pipeline:
26      1. queue draws into game_layer (and bg/ui)
27      2. layer_render(...) flushes queued commands to each layer's FBO
28      3. derive shadow_layer := game_layer + shadow shader
29         derive game_outline := game_layer + outline shader
30      4. composite: bg -> shadow (offset +4,+4) -> outline -> game -> ui

2     Emoji Ball Bounce — Anchor 2.
3   
4     Variant of Ricochet (ball bouncing inside a square, projectiles spawn on
5     wall hits) using the Emoji Ball Battles visual style: chunky pixel art at
6     480x270/scale=3, sky gradient background, every actor wrapped in a black
7     pixel outline plus a soft drop shadow.
8   
9     This iteration adds the chamber + ball:
10      - chamber rendered as four green rounded-rect "sticks" (emoji-merge
11        arena look) with continuous rotation and [/] resize, ported from
12        Ricochet
13      - ball is the slight_smile emoji at radius 10, bounces inside the
14        chamber at constant speed (Ricochet's velocity-renormalization
15        approach — the simplest thing that keeps a Box2D ball alive)
16  
17    Render pipeline (mirrors EBB, simplified to a single source layer):
18      1. queue draws into game_layer (and bg/ui)
19      2. layer_render(...) flushes queued commands to each layer's FBO
20      3. derive shadow_layer  := game_layer + shadow shader
21         derive game_outline  := game_layer + outline shader
22      4. composite: bg → shadow (offset +4,+4) → outline → game → ui

2     timer — procedural scheduler for delayed, repeating, and conditional callbacks.
3   
4     Usage:
5       self.timer = timer_new()                                     -- in your constructor
6       timer_after(self.timer, 1, function() print('fired') end)
7       timer_every(self.timer, 0.5, 'attack', function() self:attack() end)
8       timer_update(self.timer, dt)                                 -- in your update
9   
10    All schedule functions accept an optional name parameter (as first arg after
11    the timer) for naming the scheduled callback. Named callbacks can be cancelled,
12    triggered manually, and replace previous ones with the same name. Anonymous
13    callbacks get auto-generated internal IDs.
14  
15    Available schedule modes:
16      timer_after     - fire once after delay
17      timer_every     - fire repeatedly every delay (optionally N times)
18      timer_during    - fire every frame for duration, receives progress 0-1
19      timer_tween     - interpolate target properties over duration with easing
20      timer_watch     - fire when a field on a target changes
21      timer_when      - fire when a condition transitions false -> true
22      timer_cooldown  - fire every delay seconds while condition is true
23      timer_every_step  - fire N times with delays interpolating start to end
24      timer_during_step - fit as many calls as possible in duration, with varying delays
25  
26    Control:
27      timer_cancel          - cancel a named callback
28      timer_trigger         - fire a named callback immediately
29      timer_set_multiplier  - dynamically adjust timer speed
30      timer_get_time_left   - query remaining time until a named callback fires

thin wrappers around resource handles (`font`, `spritesheet`, `image`). Game
spritesheets         -- { name: spritesheet }
spritesheet_register(name, path, frame_width, frame_height) -> spritesheet
  -- Also stores in spritesheets[name].
layer_spritesheet(lyr, sheet, frame, x, y, color?, flash?)
Frame-based spritesheet animation. Plain state table, not a class.
animation_new(spritesheet_name, delay, loop_mode?, actions?) -> a
animation_update(a, dt)
Fields: `a.frame`, `a.playing`, `a.dead`, `a.direction`, `a.spritesheet`.

1    --[[
2     animation — procedural frame-based animation for spritesheets.
3   
4     Usage:
5       self.anim = animation_new('hit1', 0.03, 'once', {
6         [3] = function() print("frame 3") end,
7         [0] = function() self.anim_done = true end,   -- completion callback
8       })
9   
10      -- In update:
11      animation_update(self.anim, dt)
12  
13      -- In draw:
14      layer_spritesheet(game_layer, self.anim.spritesheet, self.anim.frame, x, y)
15  
16    Loop modes:
17      'once'    - play once and set .dead = true
18      'loop'    - repeat indefinitely
19      'bounce'  - ping-pong back and forth
20  
21    Actions table:
22      [frame_number] = function(anim)    -- fires when that frame becomes active
23      [0]            = function(anim)    -- fires on completion (once mode) or loop boundary
24  
25    Design notes:
26      - v1 fired actions with self.parent as first arg. v2 fires with the animation
27        table itself. Closures in the actions table can capture their owner.
28      - No "dead" cascade to a parent. If loop_mode='once' and completes, the animation
29        sets its `dead` field to true, and the owning entity checks it or ignores it.
30      - No kill() call (v1 called self:kill() which was tree-dependent).

2     memory — memory / resource tracker overlay for leak detection.
3   
4     Snapshots the engine's resource counters (engine_mem_stats) plus Lua-side
5     signals (collectgarbage heap size, entity count) each frame. Renders a
6     toggleable overlay comparing current values against a captured baseline
7     so you can verify that a repeated action (map reload, UI open/close, etc.)
8     returns every counter to its pre-action value.
9   
10    Usage:
11      mem = memory_tracker_new()
12      -- in update:
13      memory_tracker_update(mem)
14      if is_pressed('toggle_mem')   then memory_tracker_toggle(mem) end
15      if is_pressed('baseline_mem') then memory_tracker_capture_baseline(mem) end
16      -- in draw:
17      memory_tracker_draw(mem, debug_layer, debug_font)
18  
19    The overlay shows: LABEL   CURRENT   (Δbaseline)
20    Non-zero baseline deltas highlight the row — that's the leak signal.

Launching skill: end-session

# End Session Workflow

This skill is invoked from the **same conversation** where the work was done. You already have the full session context in memory — you do NOT need to read the transcript.

## Step 1: Get Session Info

Ask the user for the **session title** (max 30 characters). Examples: "Anchor Phase 10 Part 5", "Physics Arena Setup", "Timer System Fix", "Thalien Lune Design".

**Determine the project yourself from your session context** — you know which repo(s) were worked on, which files were created/modified, and where they live. No need to ask. See Step 6 for the list of known project roots; if the session touched something outside the list, infer the root from the paths you actually edited.

## Step 2: Write Summary

Write the summary from your conversation memory. You have the full session context — no need to read any files.

The summary should be **thorough and detailed**. Each major topic deserves its own section with multiple specific bullet points. Don't compress — expand.

**Purpose:** These summaries serve as searchable records. Future Claude instances will grep through past logs to find how specific topics were handled. The more detail you include, the more useful the summary becomes for finding relevant context later.

Format (this is just an example structure — adapt sections to match what actually happened):

```markdown
# [Title]

## Summary

[1-2 sentence overview of the session's main focus]

**[Topic 1 - e.g., "Spring Module Implementation"]:**
- First specific detail about what was done
- Second detail - include file names, function names
- User correction or feedback (quote if notable)
- Technical decisions and why

**[Topic 2 - e.g., "Camera Research"]:**
- What was researched
- Key findings
- How it influenced implementation

**[Topic 3 - e.g., "Errors and Fixes"]:**
- Specific error message encountered
- Root cause identified
- How it was fixed

[Continue for each major topic...]

---

[Rest of transcript follows]
```

Rules:

- **Be thorough** — If in doubt, include more detail, not less. Each topic should be as detailed as possible while still being a summary.
- **Think searchability** — Future instances will search these logs. Include keywords, function names, error messages that someone might grep for.
- **One section per major topic** — Don't combine unrelated work into one section
- **Chronological order** — Sections should match conversation flow
- **Specific details** — Error messages, file names, function names, parameter values
- **Include user quotes** — When user gave notable feedback, quote it (e.g., "k/d variables are not intuitive at all")
- **Weight planning equally** — Research, proposals, alternatives considered, user feedback on approach are as important as implementation
- **Weight problems solved** — Errors, root causes, fixes, user corrections all matter
- **Technical specifics** — Include formulas, API signatures, parameter changes when relevant

## Step 3: Get User Approval

Show the title and summary to the user. Wait for approval before proceeding. If they have corrections, fix them.

## Step 4: Convert Transcript and Write Log Files

```bash
# Find recent sessions (Claude + Cursor; see script). Same script lives in Anchor2:
python E:/a327ex/Anchor2/scripts/find-recent-session.py --limit 5
# or: python E:/a327ex/Anchor/scripts/find-recent-session.py --limit 5
```

The script shows sessions sorted by when they ended. The **first result** is the current conversation (since end-session was invoked here). Use it.

Use lowercase hyphenated slug derived from the title (e.g., "anchor-primitives-hitstop-animation").

Get the start timestamp for the Date frontmatter:

```bash
date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
```

(If the session has been running for hours, prefer the time the user actually started it — visible in the JSONL — over the current wall clock. The Date should mark when the work happened, not when end-session ran.)

Convert the transcript to markdown ONCE, then write the same content to BOTH log destinations:

```bash
python E:/a327ex/Anchor2/scripts/jsonl-to-markdown.py [SESSION_PATH] /tmp/session-log.md
# or: python E:/a327ex/Anchor/scripts/jsonl-to-markdown.py ...
```

The same script **auto-detects** Claude Code JSONL vs Cursor/Composer agent JSONL (`~/.cursor/projects/.../agent-transcripts/...`). For Composer sessions, use `find-recent-session.py` (it merges both sources) and pick the `[cursor]` line for the current chat.

Replace the default header (`# Session YYYY-MM-DD...`) at the top of `/tmp/session-log.md` with the approved title and summary, AND prepend frontmatter. The final file shape:

```markdown
Title: [Title]
Date: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS

# [Title]

## Summary

[approved summary text from step 2]

---

[transcript content from jsonl-to-markdown script]
```

**Why frontmatter is required:** the new site's sidebar reads `Title:` and `Date:` from frontmatter to display the entry. Logs without these get backfilled by `a327ex-site/deploy/backfill_metadata.py`, but enforcement at write time is cleaner. The old site (Blot) ignores extra frontmatter fields, so the same file works on both.

Then copy the final file to BOTH log destinations:

```bash
cp /tmp/session-log.md E:/a327ex/anchor.blot.im/logs/[slug].md
cp /tmp/session-log.md E:/a327ex/a327ex-site/logs/[slug].md
```

(Same content goes to both. The old and new sites render markdown differently — old site via Blot's processor, new site via discount + our `extensions.lua` directive expansion — but session transcripts are mostly text + code blocks + the occasional embed, all of which work identically in both. If the transcript happens to contain `::TYPE` directives meant only for the new site, those render as literal text on the old site; rare enough to ignore.)

After cutover (Phase 8 in `Anchor2/reference/blot_migration_plan.md`), drop the anchor.blot.im copy.

## Step 5: Sync Context Files (anchor.blot.im only)

Anchor exposes context docs in its public sidebar via `/context/*`. The new site's `content.list_all()` only walks posts/notes/logs/messages/pages, so context files aren't a concept there yet — skip the new-site copy.

```bash
cp E:/a327ex/.claude/CLAUDE.md E:/a327ex/anchor.blot.im/context/CLAUDE.md
cp E:/a327ex/Anchor/docs/* E:/a327ex/anchor.blot.im/context/
```

**When the session was Anchor2** (optional):

```bash
cp E:/a327ex/Anchor2/.claude/CLAUDE.md E:/a327ex/anchor.blot.im/context/CLAUDE_ANCHOR2.md
```

## Step 6: Commit Project Repo

Identify the project repo(s) worked on this session from your own context — you already know which repos were touched and which files changed. For the common projects, here are the canonical staging commands:

| Project | Root | Stage command |
|---|---|---|
| Anchor | `E:/a327ex/Anchor` | `git add docs/ framework/ engine/ scripts/ reference/` |
| Anchor2 | `E:/a327ex/Anchor2` | `git add framework/ engine/ arena/ reference/ scripts/ docs/ .claude/` |
| emoji-ball-battles | `E:/a327ex/emoji-ball-battles` | `git add -A` |
| orblike | `E:/a327ex/orblike` | `git add -A` |
| thalien-lune | `E:/a327ex/thalien-lune` | `git add -A` |
| a327ex-site | `E:/a327ex/a327ex-site` | `git add -A` (this is itself one of the web repos — treat the same way; the log file added in Step 4 will be staged here automatically) |

For a project not listed, infer the root from the files you actually created or modified this session and stage those. If multiple candidate roots look valid, ask the user which files to stage.

`cd` into the project root, stage, run `git status` to verify before committing.

**IMPORTANT — FULL SUMMARY IN COMMIT:** The commit message MUST include the FULL summary from the log file. Read the summary back from the log file to ensure nothing is missing.

**IMPORTANT — COMMIT METHOD:** The summary contains backticks, special characters, and markdown that WILL break heredocs and `git commit -m`. ALWAYS use the file-based method below. NEVER try a heredoc first — it will fail and produce a malformed commit that needs amending.

Commit using a temporary file (extracts only the summary text, skipping frontmatter and the `# Title` / `## Summary` headers, stopping at the `---` separator before the transcript):

```bash
# Skip until we hit the line "## Summary", then take everything after the next
# blank line until the --- separator that precedes the transcript.
awk '/^## Summary$/{found=1; next} found && NR>1 && /^---$/{exit} found' \
    E:/a327ex/anchor.blot.im/logs/[slug].md > /tmp/commit_msg.txt

# Prepend the title (plain text, no #) and append attribution
sed -i "1i [Title]\n" /tmp/commit_msg.txt
printf "\nGenerated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)\n\nCo-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>\n" >> /tmp/commit_msg.txt

git commit -F /tmp/commit_msg.txt
```

## Step 7: Push All Repos

Three pushes — project (to GitHub), anchor.blot.im (to Blot), a327ex-site (to our VPS):

```bash
# Project repo to GitHub. Skip this push if the project IS a327ex-site
# (handled by the third push below — don't duplicate).
git push origin main

# anchor.blot.im (Blot's deploy is git-hosted; pushing to master triggers a live deploy ~30s later).
cd E:/a327ex/anchor.blot.im
git add -A
git commit -m "[Title]"
git push origin master 2>&1 | tail -3

# a327ex-site to our VPS (post-receive hook restarts the Lua server).
cd E:/a327ex/a327ex-site
git add -A
git commit -m "[Title]"
git push prod main 2>&1 | tail -3
```

**Failure handling:** if any one push fails, the others still happen. The local commits stay intact, so the user can re-push the failed one manually once they've fixed whatever blocked it. Don't roll back; the committed state on disk is the source of truth.

## Step 8: Confirm

Tell the user:

- Project commit hash + GitHub push result
- anchor.blot.im commit hash + Blot push result
- a327ex-site commit hash + VPS push result

Format:

```
Logged — "[Title]".
  project (Anchor2):  abc1234  pushed to GitHub
  anchor.blot.im:     def5678  pushed to Blot
  a327ex-site:        ghi9012  pushed to a327ex.com (post-receive deployed)
```

If any push failed, surface that explicitly with the error.

## Notes

- **Same content, two destinations.** Don't render the transcript twice — convert once, copy to both. Differences in markdown rendering between Blot and our discount-based renderer are usually invisible for transcript content (text + code fences + occasional iframes), but if the user's session content contains site-specific directives (`::TYPE` for the new site, embedded HTML for the old), accept that one side will show the literal source for those few lines. Not worth special-casing.
- **Frontmatter is non-negotiable.** Every log file MUST have `Title:` and `Date:` at the top. Without them, the new site's sidebar shows the slug as the title and 0 (epoch) as the sort date. The backfill script in `a327ex-site/deploy/backfill_metadata.py` is a safety net, not a substitute.
- **After Phase 8 cutover** (DNS swap from Blot to our VPS — see `Anchor2/reference/blot_migration_plan.md`), drop the anchor.blot.im copy + push. The user will say when. The /msg skill has the same cutover note.
- **If the project IS `a327ex-site`** (e.g., you spent the session writing the renderer or fixing the theme), there's no separate "project repo to GitHub" push — the a327ex-site push at the end IS the project push. Don't duplicate.

> Let's brainstorm an emoji-based aim-practice build-heavy game. Based on that alone, what can you imagine?



A few directions, with the things that excite me and the things I'd worry about.



**The core tension worth designing around**



Aim games and build games usually pull in opposite directions. Aim-practice rewards raw mechanical skill and *removes* build noise so you can measure yourself. Build-heavy games autoaim or trivialize aim because the build *is* the game. Smashing them together only works if builds *reshape the aim challenge itself* rather than just adding damage numbers. That's the pitch I'd build around: every item changes what kind of aimer you have to be this run. Heavy slow projectiles → you're now a prediction shooter. Curving homing shots → you're a flick shooter who picks targets. Bouncing chains → you're a positional shooter who aims at geometry. The build is the *aim transformation*, not the stat sheet.



**What emoji buys you**



Semantic shorthand. 🐛 reads as swarmer, 🐢 as tanky, 🦅 as flying, 🦖 as charger — no tutorial needed. Same trick for items: 🩸 is lifesteal, 🪞 is reflect, ❄️ is slow, ⚡ chains, 🧲 pulls, 🪨 heavy, 🪶 light, 🔥+🛢️ ignites. The vocabulary becomes the design language; you can name and tooltip 200 items by leaning on what people already know an emoji means. It also gives you a tone — emoji is inherently funny, which keeps a try-hard aim trainer from feeling sweaty. Or you do the opposite: SNKRX-grade screenshake and meaty hit feedback against cute emoji, and the contrast carries the identity.



**Format guess**



Top-down arena roguelite, Brotato/Holocure shape: 30–60s waves of emoji enemies, shop between waves, ~20 min runs. Top-down because emoji read clearly there and an FPS aim-trainer with emoji targets feels gimmicky. Mouse aims, WASD or auto-walk for movement (auto-walk frees a hand for aim and is a real lever — Brotato's autoshoot vs. Vampire Survivors-ish movement-only). I'd start *autoshoot off* — you're aiming and clicking, that's the point — but consider items that grant partial autofire as a build branch.



**Build axes I'd want**



- Projectile physics (speed, gravity, curve, pierce, bounce, split, homing strength)

- Conversion items that swap your projectile entirely (🔥 → 🌊 → ⚡)

- Crosshair/aim modifiers (size, recoil, charged shots, scope)

- Set bonuses keyed to emoji *families* (all 🐉🐲🦖 reptile items, all ❄️🌨️☃️ ice items)

- Anti-synergies — fire build vs. water enemies forces a pivot



The set-bonus-by-family thing is where emoji shines mechanically, not just visually: families are obvious to players without reading.



**What I'd worry about**

<article data-date="2026-05-07 09:31:15" data-href="/messages/2026-05-07-093115">

<p>Man, I just had the most upsetting dream I've had in a while. I was at this huge school. Like, huge. I think the architecture was inspired by that video of the huge Chinese school I saw on X the other day. This one:</p>

<p><a href="https://x.com/_sorrengailll/status/2050290609446084782">https://x.com/_sorrengailll/status/2050290609446084782</a></p>

<p>It was a new place too. Usually in my dreams I'm in places I know I've been before but with modified layout/architecture, but this one I had never been to. I don't know if that means anything. Anyway, I'm in this place, and eventually I get to my class. It's this massive cooking class, like 1000 people, a big room full of cooking stations, imagine a stadium, but smaller because it's only for 1000 people, but there's ground level and lots of cooking stations there, but they extend upwards at an angle to the sides too, so there's a lot of people <em>everywhere.</em></p>

<p>So I'm doing my tasks, I'm learning, I'm getting really invested. The teacher is Gordon Ramsay for obvious reasons. The fact that I'm getting invested is a direct mirror of real life, because in real life I <em>am</em> getting into cooking and learning how to make good-tasting and healthy food and enjoying it. So that's happening, but then comes an exam. Gordon explains the exam, then his helper hands everyone a tablet. The helper is wearing a suit, doesn't look fully human, like kind of a robot? I guess he most resembles Chat from Northernlion's Tomodachi Life playthrough.</p>

<p>I look at the questions, there are 20 of them, and they all look pretty easy, but their order is bugging out on my tablet. Like question 13 is appearing first, some questions appear in some places and then move elsewhere, and so on. This is a mirror of real life too, as one of the issues with my blot website was the posts were showing up missing or in the wrong order all the time, and I had to fix several bugs related to this when we were moving the website to my own server. Anyway, I ask Gordon about this issue and he answers but I don't remember his reply. It doesn't matter, though, because I just move on and do the exam, answering all questions correctly, except for question 19, which I wasn't sure about, so I don't answer it.</p>

<p>After I'm done I continue with my other tasks. I'm so invested in the tasks that even as Gordon hands me back my graded exam I'm barely paying attention. After a few minutes I look at it to see my score, which I expect to be 20/20, but thinking back it can't be that because I didn't answer one question, so I should expect it to be 19/20. But then I look and it's... 1/20? What the hell? I look at it and the first question that appears is question 19, the one I didn't answer. But then the other questions didn't even load, so they weren't graded. I can literally see the loading circle, the next questions trying to load but they can't. So this is clearly a bug. But Gordon is speaking, he's saying how the exam had one question that was a trap to weed out the cheaters, and if you didn't answer that question, it's clear you were a cheater. I'm guessing that was question 19.</p>

<p>I try showing Chat the issue with my tablet, Chat is understanding but doesn't seem like he'll help me, so I call over Gordon, who barely looks at it and is immediately dismissive. I try to explain that during the exam my questions were ordered incorrectly so maybe that's why the grading bugged out too. He's having none of it. I'm insistent, but I can see what comes next. You know that face Gordon makes when he knows he's right but he's also perplexed that someone is fighting back and disagreeing with him? Like a surprised-mocking-superiority face, that's his fucking face right now. And then he goes off on me. I don't remember what he says exactly, probably many sentences involving me being an idiot sandwich or a fucking donkey, but at the end of it he says, "Weren't you making tons of excuses right as the exam started too? You're a fucking loser, just give up."</p>

<p>And <em>this</em> really made me mad. Like, this spiked my cortisol to tremendous levels. He was just fucking lying. I wasn't making excuses, I asked him a <em>single</em> question about the exact bug we were talking about! I actually got so fucking mad here that I paused the dream. I can do that, I can pause my dreams. I think at some point when I was younger I often had a particularly bad nightmare and to stop the bad thing from happening I'd pause it, and my brain learned you can just do that. Doing this doesn't make me aware that I'm dreaming. So I'm there, dream paused, fuming, looking at Gordon's fucking mocking face as he's just straight up lying about me. I am so fucking mad, this is so fucking stupid, and then I wake up.</p>

<p>Now, what could this dream mean? Well, it's not quite the classic "there's an exam and I didn't study for it" school dream, but it's close. It is interesting though that it takes the form of <em>injustice,</em> right? The feeling I woke up with is the same feeling I felt when I got banned for an entire summer when I was 13 from my usual CS 1.6 server due to "hacking" even though I was quite clearly not hacking at all and the admin was just mad I killed him too often. But I don't feel this feeling anymore. Like, ever. If something unjust happens to me now, my framing is pretty much always one of "I know I didn't do anything wrong, this has nothing to do with me spiritually, it's entirely about the other person's relationship with power and their learning to use it." This kind of situation has particularly never happened to me in a school setting. There wasn't a single instance of me thinking a teacher judged my work incorrectly or anything like that.</p>

<p>There are the real life related events, getting invested in cooking, the ordering bug from my website, but I'm not sure if those mean anything either. There's the architecture. It was definitely a new place I've never been to before. Most places in dreams, even though I've never been to them in real life, I can just tell I've been to before dozens of times, probably in previous forgotten dreams. This one was fully new. It was very white, like the Chinese school video, bright white lights everywhere, floor and walls pure white too. But I'm not sure what it could mean that it's new. There's the fact that I didn't answer question 19. When I had a question I wasn't sure about in exams, I'm pretty sure I tried answering them anyway, why would I just refuse to answer this one? Or did I fail to answer it, or answered it incorrectly? I actually don't remember now. It's possible I tried to answer it but I knew it was incorrect?</p>

<p>Could a situation like this happen to me in real life right now? I am very invested in my art, currently the games and books I want to make. Let's say I release a new game and someone I look up to reviews it very poorly. Uh... no, that wouldn't work, I don't really look up to anyone. There's no one whose presence makes me invested enough that anything bad they could say would feel, viscerally, like some kind of judgement. The school setting is unique here because you buy into it, you buy into the fact that there's a mentor, and you allow him to judge you. Real life is not like this, at least not related to my work. There's no one judging me, because I don't believe that anyone knows any better than me.</p>

<p>Ah, but this is only true for making games, actually. I'm learning how to write, how to make music, how to cook, I'm going to the gym more often... I'm learning a bunch of new things and in those settings it does make sense that I'd be worried about being judged. I'm not worried about being judged by others entirely, but mostly myself, I think. The thing I try to avoid the most when doing anything is not trying my hardest. For everything I've released so far, the one guiding line is: "did I actually try my best?" I don't want to look back on something and feel like I could have tried harder. If I release a game or a book or anything, it means that was the best I could do at the time.</p>

<p>It was a new place too. Usually in my dreams I'm in places I know I've been before but with modified layout/architecture, but this one I had never been to. I don't know if that means anything. Anyway, I'm in this place, and eventually I get to my class. It's this massive cooking class, like 1000 people, a big room full of cooking stations, imagine a stadium, but smaller because it's only for 1000 people, but there's ground level and lots of cooking stations there, but they extend upwards at an angle to the sides too, so there's a lot of people <em>everywhere.</em></p>
<p>So I'm doing my tasks, I'm learning, I'm getting really invested. The teacher is Gordon Ramsay for obvious reasons. The fact that I'm getting invested is a direct mirror of real life, because in real life I <em>am</em> getting into cooking and learning how to make good-tasting and healthy food and enjoying it. So that's happening, but then comes an exam. Gordon explains the exam, then his helper hands everyone a tablet. The helper is wearing a suit, doesn't look fully human, like kind of a robot? I guess he most resembles Chat from Northernlion's Tomodachi Life playthrough.</p>
<p>I look at the questions, there are 20 of them, and they all look pretty easy, but their order is bugging out on my tablet. Like question 13 is appearing first, some questions appear in some places and then move elsewhere, and so on. This is a mirror of real life too, as one of the issues with my blot website was the posts were showing up missing or in the wrong order all the time, and I had to fix several bugs related to this when we were moving the website to my own server. Anyway, I ask Gordon about this issue and he answers but I don't remember his reply. It doesn't matter, though, because I just move on and do the exam, answering all questions correctly, except for question 19, which I wasn't sure about, so I don't answer it.</p>
<p>After I'm done I continue with my other tasks. I'm so invested in the tasks that even as Gordon hands me back my graded exam I'm barely paying attention. After a few minutes I look at it to see my score, which I expect to be 20/20, but thinking back it can't be that because I didn't answer one question, so I should expect it to be 19/20. But then I look and it's... 1/20? What the hell? I look at it and the first question that appears is question 19, the one I didn't answer. But then the other questions didn't even load, so they weren't graded. I can literally see the loading circle, the next questions trying to load but they can't. So this is clearly a bug. But Gordon is speaking, he's saying how the exam had one question that was a trap to weed out the cheaters, and if you didn't answer that question, it's clear you were a cheater. I'm guessing that was question 19.</p>
<p>I try showing Chat the issue with my tablet, Chat is understanding but doesn't seem like he'll help me, so I call over Gordon, who barely looks at it and is immediately dismissive. I try to explain that during the exam my questions were ordered incorrectly so maybe that's why the grading bugged out too. He's having none of it. I'm insistent, but I can see what comes next. You know that face Gordon makes when he knows he's right but he's also perplexed that someone is fighting back and disagreeing with him? Like a surprised-mocking-superiority face, that's his fucking face right now. And then he goes off on me. I don't remember what he says exactly, probably many sentences involving me being an idiot sandwich or a fucking donkey, but at the end of it he says, "Weren't you making tons of excuses right as the exam started too? You're a fucking loser, just give up."</p>
<p>And <em>this</em> really made me mad. Like, this spiked my cortisol to tremendous levels. He was just fucking lying. I wasn't making excuses, I asked him a <em>single</em> question about the exact bug we were talking about! I actually got so fucking mad here that I paused the dream. I can do that, I can pause my dreams. I think at some point when I was younger I often had a particularly bad nightmare and to stop the bad thing from happening I'd pause it, and my brain learned you can just do that. Doing this doesn't make me aware that I'm dreaming. So I'm there, dream paused, fuming, looking at Gordon's fucking mocking face as he's just straight up lying about me. I am so fucking mad, this is so fucking stupid, and then I wake up.</p>
<p>Now, what could this dream mean? Well, it's not quite the classic "there's an exam and I didn't study for it" school dream, but it's close. It is interesting though that it takes the form of <em>injustice,</em> right? The feeling I woke up with is the same feeling I felt when I got banned for an entire summer when I was 13 from my usual CS 1.6 server due to "hacking" even though I was quite clearly not hacking at all and the admin was just mad I killed him too often. But I don't feel this feeling anymore. Like, ever. If something unjust happens to me now, my framing is pretty much always one of "I know I didn't do anything wrong, this has nothing to do with me spiritually, it's entirely about the other person's relationship with power and their learning to use it." This kind of situation has particularly never happened to me in a school setting. There wasn't a single instance of me thinking a teacher judged my work incorrectly or anything like that.</p>
<p>There are the real life related events, getting invested in cooking, the ordering bug from my website, but I'm not sure if those mean anything either. There's the architecture. It was definitely a new place I've never been to before. Most places in dreams, even though I've never been to them in real life, I can just tell I've been to before dozens of times, probably in previous forgotten dreams. This one was fully new. It was very white, like the Chinese school video, bright white lights everywhere, floor and walls pure white too. But I'm not sure what it could mean that it's new. There's the fact that I didn't answer question 19. When I had a question I wasn't sure about in exams, I'm pretty sure I tried answering them anyway, why would I just refuse to answer this one? Or did I fail to answer it, or answered it incorrectly? I actually don't remember now. It's possible I tried to answer it but I knew it was incorrect?</p>
<p>Could a situation like this happen to me in real life right now? I am very invested in my art, currently the games and books I want to make. Let's say I release a new game and someone I look up to reviews it very poorly. Uh... no, that wouldn't work, I don't really look up to anyone. There's no one whose presence makes me invested enough that anything bad they could say would feel, viscerally, like some kind of judgement. The school setting is unique here because you buy into it, you buy into the fact that there's a mentor, and you allow him to judge you. Real life is not like this, at least not related to my work. There's no one judging me, because I don't believe that anyone knows any better than me.</p>
<p>Ah, but this is only true for making games, actually. I'm learning how to write, how to make music, how to cook, I'm going to the gym more often... I'm learning a bunch of new things and in those settings it does make sense that I'd be worried about being judged. I'm not worried about being judged by others entirely, but mostly myself, I think. The thing I try to avoid the most when doing anything is not trying my hardest. For everything I've released so far, the one guiding line is: "did I actually try my best?" I don't want to look back on something and feel like I could have tried harder. If I release a game or a book or anything, it means that was the best I could do at the time.</p>
<p>And so maybe dismissive and unjust Gordon is actually the broken facet of myself that would betray this principle. To answer "did I actually try my best?" I need a trustworthy verifier. But the dream was about the verifier malfunctioning. The horror, what spiked my cortisol, was the lying, the clear unashamed lying, evidence that the teacher didn't even see my effort and thus didn't grade it properly, right? True horror is the verifier being wrong, the compass going astray, intuition failing to answer "did I actually try my best?" accurately. Yes, this makes sense. It also makes question 19 make sense, the trap question, which I don't even remember if I refused to answer or answered poorly, it represents uncertainty on whether I tried my best or not, because trying your best would for sure mean actually trying to answer it.</p>
<p>Hmm, yes, I like this analysis. It also makes sense why it would happen now, maybe I'm spreading myself too thin.</p>
