It’s tricky with words that are pronounced very nearly the same but spelt differently and have quite different meanings. I mean I was seeing visions of Smaug the Terrible (see also The Hobbit) gathering in a large collection of dead people… I was just racing @Federica in pointing it out.

Re: The Park is mine
Bearing in mind that at times what we do can be beneficial in some way for onlookers perhaps a reminder to slow down
We are all exhibits of our inner nature. Individually or collectively. I tend to meditate on my own, even when in a crowded dharma meeting … wait I think we all do.
We have to own our being alone or individually staged on The Bath Path. Our societies/communities are mostly noisy/busy/occupied. We are moving towards:
- Self awareness
- Self responsibility
- Self fulfilment
Self, self, self … it is all about me. I knew it! 🦞
… eh think I gone wrong again …

Video games that changed your life
By request…

@Jeroen The difference is we ask "What video game changed your life?"Maybe a subject for another thread? Although I think you’d have to ask along with it “why did it change your life”, its not always so straightforward with game titles to get a feel for what the game is about.
I will kick things off…
Panzer General (1994): I spent way too much time playing this, marshalling little WW2 armies in the desert near Tobruk and in the European theatre. It led to a fascination that lasted decades about generalship and armies and game systems.
Ultima Underworld 1 and 2 (1992-1993): The first fully 3D games that I played, way ahead of their time. In the end I ended up programming 3D game engines professionally, and made a career out of it.
World of Warcraft (2005): The first massively multiplayer online game I played, I got quite severely addicted to this, it was not healthy the amount of time I played this in its Vanilla incarnation. Led to a fascination with game analysis.
