  1. It's not my final goal, but it is something I want to achieve (My "final" goals are imposition, speed reading, and a memory palace, assuming I don't discover a new thing to do and assuming Dream won't let me lucid dream). The main thing holding me back right now is coming up with another parallel processing test and then executing it. I'll need to finish coding it. And then I'll have 3 groups of tests- keyboard, visual, and audio. Because I'm impatient and I want to work on parallel processing, I'll only have the 4 tests I have (The original visual one, Oragamal's test, the icebreaker test, and then the control 2 squares test) instead of having at least two of each category. At first I was concerned we could have mental health complications given we're well, putting it nicely, unstable. However, we also had a "just fix it forehead!" moment and we realized we can just have the expectation we can't abuse this and we can't override that rule. There is something else mental-health-wise I need to do, but I don't want to talk about it. Once I'm ready, I can finally work on parallel processing! And I feel at this point, I'm so close to figuring it out, if I haven't already!

  3. Lol, that makes sense. I forgot it was in Kadoh's PR
  4. Howdy! This is neat! It's interesting to see a guide this short and to the point. Would you like for this to be posted under Community Guides? It will be easier for people to find. The one time I wish a creation tag existed I think this guide should have the General tag
  5. How old are you all as a system? Secondly, if there is hitting going on in-system, I'm concerned that this behavior has been normalized in the past. Hitting is not okay. While we have had violent intrusive thoughts, hitting is not something we imagine. I'm concerned you all are exposed to domestic violence... Your host definitely didn't die, but I imagine the stress around the argument and the outcome probably isn't helping
  6. God I really am old, we may have started at the beginning of 2018 but we remember when the forums were running myBB. Having full control of the formatting- good times. We were also on the IRC before it died. I'm sad there are people on there we will never see again I wish the forum had roles like Discord so you could ping everyone with a "2013" role. I always see people from 2013 drop by every few months, it's sad to see them disappear for a bit I swear there was a dedicated thread for people from around 2013 to say hi to each other, I don't know what happened to it ;_;
  7. I use cobud for tulpa and cocreation for tulpamancy Where did you get the terms "construct-tulpa" and "thoughtform-tulpa"? I have never heard of these terms before. Otherwise, a "constructed" cobud to me doesn't sound different from simply creating a cobud. A cobud is a thoughtform, an autonomous entity in your head, regardless. Master-servant? And with the mindset it's some entity that can take over your life? 😂 Yeah no lol, mindset really matters here. Most cocreators either see cobuds as people who are friendly and supportive or imaginary friends, both of which are good company. While cobuds can be created with spontaneous thoughts, most aren't created with intrusive thoughts. We actually have headmates who were originally intrusive thoughts turned cobuds. I don't recommend it, you're better off rejecting the intrusive thought and starting from scratch. Rogue cobuds are a meme that me and my friends use lol. A "rogue cobud" is a rebellious cobud. That aside, the only thing that comes to mind are thoughtforms that aren't supposed to be sentient becoming sentient anyway. You can prevent this by putting your foot down and deciding it can't and never will be a cobud. Don't ask questions like "what do they think?" or anything that assumes they could be or are sentient. You are the thoughtform in that case. It depends on the mindset you have. If you create a cobud believing they're a separate person, then that can stress you and your cobud out for not having enough time. If you believe a cobud is just an imaginary friend and nothing more, then if you don't have time no big deal. You don't need to help develop someone's personality if it's just you. Maaaaaybe don't make a cobud while you're tired. It may make intrusive thoughts harder to manage since you're more likely to be stressed. If you decide to go about making a cobud, I would wait until you're more comfortable with the process before dabbling with late night forcing. You can make a backstory for your cobud and write down a list of traits. If you believe a cobud is a separate person, your cobud may reject the backstory and some of the traits you give them though. I wonder if that's why it's confusing to say "intrusive thought" when it sounds like you're sometimes saying "spontaneous thoughts". Intrusive thoughts are unwanted while spontaneous thoughts are neutral. The connotation is different. ...This is social media In general, there will always be advice that's weird, counter-intuitive, or unhelpful. If something sounds bad, don't do it. People have different experiences, there is no "universal cocreation". Pick the advice that you like and makes sense to you. Yes, and a lot of people don't realize that servitors in a magic context are not the same as servitors that are well, "mindless" automatons. I think magical servitors do more things than cobuds do, and from my understanding tend to have purposes cobuds do not have. Are you okay? People may disagree, but that doesn't mean you're wrong. Cocreation is subjective and calling cobuds servitors really isn't a big deal. It does help to elaborate how you view servitors though.
  8. GER The meme lives on Rabbit island! Other than that, uh... you can get leather and rabbit's foot (the latter more useful than the former) We actually like diorite for building things. Sure, it may not be as nice as quartz, but we think it's cool. I agree though that it's weird a lot of stuff has limited practicality. Why can't I make stone tools or heck deepslate tools? Why can't I make copper tools, when there was literally a bronze age? Heck, copper tools make a lot more sense than golden tools. Why can't diorite be used for furnaces? I would like a diorite furnace. Why is tuff a completely useless block?
  9. Another video I'm upset that I didn't know about sooner: At first I was worried he was going to talk about how cocreation could be used as a solution to mental health. Instead, he seems to be saying it can inspire mindsets leading to a mental health treatment rather than be one by itself. I really like this video. I think Mr. Deo has a really reasonable take on cocreation. I doubt he's going to dive deep into cocreation research anytime soon, but it's nice to see an academic bringing up the topic.
  10. Huh, I had no idea this existed Do you know anything about the users or who the owner was? This seems like an occult community. Hmm... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribe.net It sounds like tribe.net bit the dust for being really inappropriate with it's NSFW content. If tribe.net was a forum, there's a chance the threads are sitting on a server somewhere. However, given how old tribe.net is, I'm not sure if that's the case. My gut feelings are you'll have better luck reaching out to whoever created the "tribe". However, it's not necessarily clear who the owner is (maybe Bman?). I have no idea if "Elizabeth" was abandoned or not
  11. Really, 7 hours for Bre I don't have anything meaningful to post, but I feel like this warrants a meaningless post
  12. Hang on for a second, demons does not automatically mean DID. I have seen real Etsy posts selling spirits including demons. The demon listings tend to be nsfw so here's a fire angel spirit as an example: While that's a bit of a silly example, I hope that illustrates the fact you can have a very metaphysical perspective on cocreation (tulpamancy) and have never heard of plurality before. Given that, it's still possible they're cobuds (tulpas), only they developed them with a metaphysical mindset. If you believe a "demon" has more authority over your body than you do, then yeah, that bad mindset can lead to weird outcomes. However, this assumption is the worst case scenario. Your friend could also believe it's natural to have their "demons" to take the wheel whenever they please and that simply doesn't bother them. Created headmates of any kind, particularly those created with metaphysical beliefs, may claim their "soul" is independent of the human body or whatever. Again, while very different from the typical psychological beliefs cocreators (tulpamancers) have, the underlying experiences may be very similar. As long as E feels in control of their situation and they're happy, that's all that really matters. If they do feel stressed out, I don't mind you DMing me on Discord (I don't really keep up with the forums) and I don't mind chatting and coming up with solutions.
  13. Happy birthday Phil! Aww, it's beautiful! While the AI generated stuff is cool, it's really special to see your system's art! I think you guys are really good artists and I like seeing what you make!
  14. Just for the sake of context, I was a mod when I made my previous post in this thread, but I am no longer one. What does this have to do with necroposting? Are you referring to really, really old threads? Anyways, I'm not a fan how casual the NSFW stuff has been lately. I was annoyed to come across a thread that was blatantly NSFW and I had to report it for it to receive action (I'm not super active anymore guys, come on). I never was a fan of allowing public NSFW content on a supposedly SFW forum, with this rule in the Community Guidelines: I feel like once you get to talking about fetishes, BDSM, and stuff like that, it's no longer SFW. I remember when I was a mod asking about the NSFW policy. I won't share what was discussed given it's not public information, but I think I felt at least a little uncomfortable with the "newest" policy change at the time. Now, seeing the consequences, I am not happy with how it has unfolded. Minors do actually read this forum guys.
  15. Absolutely! Thank you so much for reading, sharing your experiences, and giving me feedback! ^^ I wasn't sure where else to post this. I'm familiar with this forum, and I figured if it is valuable, people will spread it around. If there is a better place, I do wonder if it would be better for a polyfragmented system to write their own version of a guide? I don’t feel comfortable standing as a reliable source on the subject since everything I know about polyfragmented systems is second hand. I only used "cohesion" and "fusion" to avoid confusion, I found that using "integration" made things confusing and I naturally added at least "cohesion" for clarification. I personally don't belive there is a "correct" or "incorrect" term though! I'm curious, would it be helpful if I clarified that the "backstory" is something that already existed instead of something you all create? Or do you think the "backstory" approach doesn't make much sense? Thank you! ^^ Please don't feel you have to reply either. If you do want to reply, it's okay if it takes weeks, months, or even years. I know you all have a lot of hard work on your hands and I'm honored you dropped by!
