By It is very common to see people who don’t have a core of their own, and who think they are the most “self-aware”; they don’t think about themselves, nor do they have any idea who they are. Instead, they do not think about what the other person is doing and if they do, they become self-aware.
This is a major distinction, as the core of your self is the person who thinks about you the most and who will act and react accordingly. This is not the same thing as being self-aware. Self-awareness is about recognizing who you are as a person, and who you are in relation to others, but these two are not the same.
The difference is that one is conscious (self-aware) versus the other is unconscious. Self-awareness means you are aware of your brain processes, but you don’t have to be aware of this. In everyday life, we usually have no idea this is important. In fact, we often forget the distinction. What we usually “lose” is our ability to be aware of who we are.
In self-awareness, there are two parts to it: “I am” and “I am in relation to others.” The first part is where you know “I am” you know you are your brain’s self, but you don’t know who you are in relation to other people. Self-awareness implies that you are aware of who you are, but you don’t have to keep track of it.
As I mentioned previously, self-awareness is a bit like having a really good memory. The difference is that if you forget that you are aware of yourself, then you have no way of finding out what is going on around you. The second part is self-awareness in relation to others, which is like having a really good sense of empathy for others. If you forget that you are aware of yourself, you have no way of finding out about your friends, coworkers, or other people.
So what does that mean for a game like Softcore? Well, you can’t play as the main character because his abilities are restricted to the normal party-based missions. But you can play as a side character who can do special “soft-core” missions. One of the things that Softcore is doing is building a sense of empathy for your party-mates.
One of the things we can learn from Softcore is that if you forget you are aware of yourself, you have no way of finding out about your friends, coworkers, or other people.
Softcore is a game about learning to identify with the people around you. The main character of this series of games is a well-intentioned, self-righteous, self-indulged, self-absorbed asshat who is constantly trying to prove himself to people. And that, of course, is also what softcore is: an asshole.
softcore is a game about identity, and in a way softcore is a game about the people in it. If you’re aware that you’re aware that you’re aware, then you have a little bit of time to figure out how to live in the world in which you’re a part.
I’ve read your blog and thought I would write a post based on your post. It makes perfect sense to me that you think you’re going to write about your life. If you’ve been reading, I’ve written before about your life and how to live in it. I just don’t see it as an excuse to spend time trying to write about what you know and how you know.
