Been playing a whole lotta Sindome.

I thought about giving it up for Lent, hell, I was planning on giving it up for Lent. But then I realized that some August, it’s unlikely I’ll be able to play almost at all. With my current work I can idle about, listening to the chatter and fielding questions and answers. Come August I don’t expect to be on the computer much at all during the day. Beyond that I’ll be waking up earlier, and thus, going to bed a lot earlier too. All prime Sindome time, gone.

Ultimately that is an obviously good thing.

But still, this is the swan song of this thing that I care a great deal about.

So I suppose I’d like to enjoy it as best I can, while I can.

Is that the wrong way to think about Sin?

Is Sindome itself, a sin?

Certainly is has in its boundary the capacity for sin, and I have indeed misused this place and this hobby in ways that have harmed me. But is it possible to engage with in a way that is not self-damaging?

Yeah probably.

Is that what I’m doing?

Probably not, no.

I suppose what I’m saying is that having this attitude about other sinful behaviors would be similarly wrong. Delaying repentance because you know circumstances will make it easier in a few months is weak.

But hey, that’s what I am.

Lord Have Mercy.

Side note: I have been populating Sindome with a number of icons and having an increasing number of evangelistic conversations with other characters. I believe they are all able to engage with the subject in a more earnest way than they might in real life, because it is ostensibly roleplayed. In the same way that they can role-play the physical torture of other human beings. For some people, particularly the chronically online and left leaning, there is some similarity to how much they must put themselves out there to think of religion and to commit crimes against humanity.

How odd.
