Pendulums in Witchcraft 📿✨
Hello darlings 🥰
The enchanting pendulum has been used for centuries to tap into the realms of divination, providing insight and guidance on our spiritual journeys. Let's explore the fascinating world of pendulums and how you can use them in your own practice:
📿 What is a Pendulum?
A pendulum is a weighted object attached to a string or chain. It acts as a sensitive tool that responds to the subtle energies around us. Pendulums can be made of various materials such as crystal, metal, wood, or even a simple object like a ring. They come in different shapes, sizes, and colors, each carrying its own unique energy.
🔮 How to Use a Pendulum
Set Your Intention: Before using your pendulum, it's important to set your intention. Clearly state that you seek guidance, insight, or answers to specific questions. This helps establish a connection between you and the pendulum.
Cleanse and Energize: Start by cleansing and energizing your pendulum. You can use methods such as smudging, visualization, or placing it in the moonlight to clear any unwanted energies and charge it with positive vibrations.
Establish Yes/No Responses: Begin by asking your pendulum to show you its "yes" and "no" responses. This can vary from person to person and pendulum to pendulum. It might swing back and forth, side to side, or in a circular motion. Take note of the specific movements for your pendulum.
Ask Clear Questions: To use the pendulum for divination, ask clear and specific questions that can be answered with a yes or no. Hold the pendulum steady in your hand and observe its movements. The pendulum will respond by swinging or rotating in a particular direction, indicating the answer.
Trust Your Intuition: As you work with the pendulum, trust your intuition and the messages it conveys. Pay attention to the subtle energies and vibrations you sense. Sometimes the pendulum's movements may feel more intuitive than a simple yes or no response.
Practice and Learn: Like any divination tool, using a pendulum requires practice and patience. Spend time getting to know your pendulum, understanding its unique energy, and refining your connection. The more you work with it, the stronger your bond will become.
🌟 Using Pendulums for Healing and Decision Making
In addition to divination, pendulums can be used for energy healing, chakra balancing, and decision making. They can help identify energy blockages, locate areas in need of healing, and provide guidance on important choices. Trust your pendulum as a tool for self-discovery and personal growth.
Your pendulum is a sacred tool that amplifies your own intuition and connection with the spiritual realm. Approach it with reverence, trust, and an open mind. Enjoy the journey of exploring the hidden realms of wisdom and insight with this enchanting divination tool.
May your pendulum bring you clarity, guidance, and a deeper connection to your inner wisdom. Embrace the magic! ✨🔮

Today's medical paranoia game: is it early onset Alzheimers disease or just my adhd?
Hint: working memory and decision making is equally impacted in patients with adhd and patients with mildly progressed dementia.
Answer: it's my adhd and I need to partake in more frequent physical activity.
Anxiety's answer: you have Alzheimers you're going to wet yourself you'll get lost driving home you'll forget your own name you'll die you'll die you'll die this is not actually true but countering these thoughts are proving difficult

When fighting AI controlled enemies, every now in then it happens that said enemies just stop acting. They don't react to anything, they don't act, they just stand there and take hits from me. What's the technological background of this kind of bug?
Most of the time, game AI enemies follow some kind of preset decision-making process. It's usually either a series of conditions that get evaluated until some decision is made, or it's a [finite state machine] that transitions from state to state based on timing and conditions being met. Regardless, decisions are made whenever the proper conditions are met.
Sometimes (usually through uncaught errors on the part of designers like me), the AI gets into a bad state where there's no valid actions to take. In the case of a finite state machine, this could be an orphan state with no exit condition, or a series of states that infinitely loop over and over. In the case of a condition series, it could be an edge case of some weird condition being met that has the AI brain bail out before it reaches any valid action to take. Decision-making that requires certain timing, for example, can also result in this kind of state if the timing conditions for the next step doesn't get met. Regardless, AI that don't do anything are usually stuck in a bad situation that they have no valid means of handling.
Most of the time, we build in some form of debugging visualization to help us figure out what step of the AI decision-making process each AI is currently up to. This way we can catch the various errors that crop up for unhandled edge cases. Unfortunately, the more obscure edge cases can sneak through our testing and make it out to the live game.
