This is a blog post functioning as an anchor/milestone in my life.
I've taken a break, and I am currently taking a pause, a deep breath.
Society's rigid frames, it seems, is disrupting me, and vice versa, and I need to find my path in life that fits every others' paths. It's a challenge, it's life.
Now, I have no job, no work, no deadline, no dependency tree, nor worry. Nothing upcoming next, and it feels great. I made this space for myself, and it works. And my sleep quality scores agrees. Seeing data from both Sleep Cycle (app), and my ŌURA Ring converging near the 100% tops are so cool. A deep rest. (ref depressed?). My mind feels optimal now, unlimited creativity, so grateful for everything in the universe that helped me on this path.
I have much to give back, I'm unsure about priorities, so I'm doing the slow steps this summer.
Very grateful for AI technology to help me aggregate patterns and thoughts. Kudos to Anthropic and Claude, and Grok from X, thank you for the utilities 🙏
Thank you amazing people out there for all the synergy and information availability <3
I think Mike Love perfectly expresses my life now with this masterpiece aptly named Permanent Holiday
I also hope amazing people like Elon Musk and Ilya Sutskever are content and happy so they can bring even more good to this timeline. Looking forward to what SSI will bring to this universe; https://ssi.inc/
Also want to mention and backlink Dario Amodei for being awesome <3
I really hope the next AI wave will have fundamental roots in verifiable truth, mathematics. Because the language models we see today are based of language, which is vague, it's like a brute forced intelligence.
And another, a doctor I met recently in Norway, Leoni, thank you so much for the empathy 💚
Next up I have a video game, autonomous deep earth scanning robot mesh networks, an aggregate world data dashboard, I want to disrupt online dating, fix world greed, and more. Let's see what happens. Gonna do the most important project first; me. You should too, do you.
Make a web based rpg game, top down view, pixel graphics, very very minimal, one should be able to walk with wasd and destroy trees to pick up wood. any optimization allowed. we also need a win condition and text saying something appropriate. Also a countdown timer, and text showing if we lost the game.

<think> Okay, so the user wants to create a web-based RPG game with specific features. Let me break down the requirements to understand what needs to be done.
First, the game should be top-down view with pixel graphics. That means using a 2D canvas or a library that handles 2D rendering. Since the user mentioned minimalism, I should keep the graphics simple, maybe using basic shapes and colors.
The player should be able to move with WASD keys. So, I'll need to set up event listeners for key presses and update the player's position accordingly. The player's sprite can be a simple shape like a circle or a square.
Next, the ability to destroy trees to collect wood. Trees can be represented as static objects on the map. When the player interacts with a tree (maybe by pressing 'E'), the tree disappears, and the player's wood count increases. I'll need to handle collision detection between the player and trees.
A win condition is needed. The user didn't specify what the win condition is, so I'll have to define it. Maybe collecting a certain amount of wood, like 10 pieces, triggers the win. Once the player collects enough wood, display a win message.
There should also be a countdown timer. The game should last for a certain duration, say 30 seconds. If the timer runs out before the player collects enough wood, the player loses. I'll need to set up a timer that counts down each second and check if it reaches zero.
Text displays are necessary to show the wood count, timer, and win/lose messages. Using the canvas, I can draw text for these elements. The win message could say "You Win!" and the lose message "You Lose!".
Optimization is allowed, so I'll make sure the game runs smoothly. Using HTML5 Canvas is efficient for this purpose. Keeping the graphics minimal will help with performance.
Putting it all together, I'll structure the game loop to handle drawing, updating positions, checking collisions, and managing the timer. Event listeners will handle user input for movement and interacting with trees.
I'll start by setting up the HTML structure with a canvas and necessary styles. Then, in the JavaScript, define the player, trees, and game mechanics. The game loop will update the game state, check for wins or losses, and render everything on the canvas.
Testing each feature as I go will ensure everything works. For example, moving the player with WASD, collecting wood by pressing 'E' near a tree, and checking the win condition when wood reaches 10. Also, the timer should count down correctly and trigger the lose condition if time runs out.
Finally, I'll make sure the text displays update correctly and the win or lose messages appear as needed. The game should reset or provide feedback when the game ends, but the user didn't specify, so maybe just showing the message is sufficient for now.
Overall, the approach is to keep it simple, use efficient methods, and ensure all features are implemented as per the user's request. </think>
Here's a minimal web-based RPG game that meets your requirements:
This game includes:
A top-down view with pixel graphics
WASD controls for movement
Trees that can be collected by walking into them
A wood counter
A 30-second countdown timer
Win condition when player collects 10 pieces of wood
Lose condition when time runs out
Victory and defeat messages
Simple collision detection
Minimal graphics using circles to represent the player and trees
To play:
Use WASD keys to move
Walk into trees to collect wood
Try to collect 10 pieces of wood before time runs out
The game will end either in victory or defeat
The current wood count and timer are displayed in the top-left corner
The game uses HTML5 Canvas for rendering and JavaScript for game logic. The graphics are intentionally kept minimal with circles representing both the player and trees.
