viossa discord is a great language-based puzzle video game. I am having a hard time putting it down

addicted to the dopamine rush of figuring out, from context, that a certain compound word means, like, "at least", or "hyperlink", or "exactly" but coming at it from a different angle from how english constructs it

it doesn't hurt that, in the year of our lord 2026, it has all the vibes you'd expect from a bunch of weird nerds making up a language just for funsies, in such a way that resists algorithmic summary and incentivizes actual human interaction.

feels good. feels human. feels like technology (= discord, voice calls, copy-pasting shitpost images from the web for laughs) enabling human thriving instead of complicating it.

@jcreed yeahh i gotta get back into this again
