  • I kinda want to ground magic in an understandable way. Since often times I see magic being flung around willy-nilly.

  • Well, for me it's not a problem since one CAN study magic but for each individual the process is completely different. It's just that magic is not some kind of a dormant attribute of the world but a type of intelligent force.

    Trying to explain logically something that's supposed to be illogical but here you go: A wizard's brain is making a translation layer that fits only that wizard. There are no schools per se; no one can teach you your way of understanding magic and their way of understanding it won't work for you either but academies can provide you with space, time and all the basic necessities needed for you to study it your own way, that is, find your way of translation through study. The only method for wizards to translate their understanding of magic from someone else is through spell scrolls or spell books; this is possible only thanks to the nature of spell books and spell scrolls being magic items in and of themselves and so also being able to be understood through the reader's "comprehension interface".

    Attempting to study and understand magic is possible, but in that case magic "decides" it will become a capricious fae/alien that will talk with you in its own language, creating new language for each creature and requiring you to learn it with absolutely no guidance.

    TL;DR: magic is weird and flimsy, each wizard understands it in a different way that works only for them.

  • For me, personally, making magic "grounded" makes it less... Well, magical. I feel like if magic won't be whimsical and willy-nilly, it will lose the wonder factor and become just another part of sciences. Science and magic being the opposite ends of a spectrum is what, to me, is the whole point of magic.

  • In what ways do you document your life? How often?

    Jump

  • I never thought about it much but this post sparked the process so here it goes:

    My family became poor when I was around 4; I've got quite a lot of photos from before then (early 90s), which was our main/only way of documenting life events. The price of a photo film and the film processing services resulted in our family abandoning the medium and throughout most of my childhood/adolescent life, the idea of documenting my life didn't "ingrain" in me. I also never "got" the purpose of making journals, which I found as a time wasted, since I didn't think there was anything worth documenting.

    At some point, everybody got their phones with digital cameras and at a later point I got mine too, but it was always the low-end model with the "potato-lens" which discouraged me from using it, especially when in groups where anyone could take better photos with their superior cameras.

    I've tried using calendars and notebooks at some point to put my life in an order of some sorts (mostly for keeping dates, not journaling per se) but couldn't remember to keep them on person and use them consistently. (Got diagnosed with AD[H]D as an adult a couple of years ago so it kinda tracks)

    I also never had the drive to post my own stuff on social media (so in my teenage years, instead of posting photos or writing stuff, I ususally just put links to songs I liked on youtube). There was an urge to post since "everybody did that" but it was hard for me to convince myself that whatever I wanted to post was "good enough".

    Now, in my adult life, I've noticed at some point that I don't have that "trigger" that would make me pull out my phone to document events in my life or write down my thoughts on matters. Most photos I have in my camera roll (and stored on hard drives) are either some documents or things I needed to refer to during some work. Meeting my wife has changed that a bit; I've got much more photos of us together since I've met her, but the aforementioned trigger isn't there in me anyway.

    I've got my childhood photos stored in a small envelope. Whatever photos/videos I took since my first phone with camera are stored both in a cloud and on a couple of HDDs. I don't find myself going back to them, though. If I ever do, it's because I'm searching for something specific and have to sift through the stuff.

    Writing a post/comment like this is something rare for me and gotta say I didn't do it for a long time. Thanks for the inspiration.

  • I see, I've got confused since what you're showing is not a playlist view but a library view. If you do mean sorting your playlist by X, then I'm afraid this cannot be done at all, the playtlist view has no sorting options at all. If you mean sorting you library view (i.e. in a "recently played" view), some views (for example, "all songs") have this option.
