- # Names
-
- to give something a name is to give it **power**.
-
- sometimes, a name is what matters most.
-
- names are what were most often first introduced to.
-
- names are what we remember things by.
-
- names are ***very*** important.
-
- ## love letter
-
- at the moment one of my projects is a love letter engine, the classic boardgame with a million rethemes.
-
- i thought itd be a good chance to develop architecture that i could then go on to use for the *1998 Neon Genesis Evangelion Trading Card Game* (admittedly not the best name ever).
-
- for that one, im planning on calling it *EVAC*, for, obviously, the ***EVA**ngelion **C**ard game*
-
- this love letter game is going to be *lain* themed (lets all love lain!) so i spent a while and came up with:
-
- > drum roll please
-
- # LainLettA
-
- which i like for a couple of reasons
-
- * it looks neat with the triple caps
- * it sounds similar to love letter
- * im vain and like to put tA into my project names
-
- and this time tA fits in there *perfectly*
-
- ## so what?
-
- this game, so far, would probably make more sense themed to Fantasy Flight Games **Android** ip, an ip i really like.
-
- ..but then the name would be fuarked up.
-
- > Le AndroidLettA? what the *hell* is a Le AndroidLettA?
-
- and so, because the name gives this project power, its staying lain themed.
-
- ## what about us?
-
- names can have many powers.
-
- set in stone usernames give us our everlasting power, **tA** has been recognised from irc rooms from years back, it gives me an underlying digital identity, its ***important***
-
- display names that can be changed at will give us our *current power*, they show people our current state of mind, our current mood, in a way that isn't *important* per se, but oh so important.
-
- theres a theory in rationality about *type 1* and *type 2* brain functions.
-
- **type 1** is our rational, think over all the options thinking.
-
- **type 2** is our spur of the moment, "fuark it that'll be cool" thinking
-
- and these `[user|display ]names` exemplify both of these functions, respectively.
-
- ## nani tf are you trying to say?
-
- if i knew this blog would be better and this post would be longer.
-
- names are powerful, dont neglect them, take pride in them, but feel free to take them for the *importance* they have, whether large or smol, because thats the real, meta importance.
-
- stay shiny kids
-
- `:wq`
