This was fun! And really cool to see Alex create some interactive fiction! Do I believe people can possess psychic abilities? Yeah, I think so, but I'm also skeptical.

Do I believe people can possess psychic abilities? Yeah, I think so, but I'm also skeptical. My wife is a big fan of tarot, which is very different from a psychic reading. I was skeptical of tarot, but then she had a reading for her and a few friends for her birthday one year. I was impressed that the tarot reader seemed to be picking up on a lot of stuff about our friends. Then it was my turn and I tried to throw the reader off, but she saw right through that and right into some of the stuff that was really on my mind. Another time, we were at a hotel in Palm Springs and there was a tarot card reading class, so I learned a little about how tarot works, and I gotta say it's really interesting, but also it's a system for reading people that isn't all that different from a system that a detective or a reporter might use. Is it perfect? Nope. But it is a methodology, and like any methodology, those who practice it can become rather skilled with the toolset.
Have I ever bounced back from a bad situation? Hell yes! Story of my life. Actually, I think that's the story of most people's lives. If you're still kicking, you're probably more resilient than you think.
When you close your eyes, what does your “mind palace” look like? It's a lot of open space, there are a lot of snacks, and questions fly at me from all directions. There's also a bidet, for some reason.
Glad you liked it. I think Alex did an amazing job! He really invested a lot of time and care in the story of the characters and it shows.
Yeah, this lines up with my thinking on tarot. It's the potentially impressive art of reading people with a layer of rad mysticism. I think anyone who's really good at their art - be it tarot reading, painting, dancing - can make it feel like magic by virtue of their skill.
I could see a couple of BAT t-shirts. One that just says Both Are True. And one that says Alex really outdid himself. Would wear both in public so I can meet other BATheads & preach the gospel, according to BAT.

The bidet is a nice touch.
I agree. Especially if there are snacks accessible from the bidet - the ultimate luxury!
snacks are accessible everywhere all at once

Alex really outdid himself.

If it were me, I’d put it on my tombstone.
