... so I've been feeling for some time a vague sense of loss from the new housing, and it's taken some time to put my finger on it, but the whole notion of brain housing has ultimately left me feeling really disconnected with the world. when I lived in Shimla Mirch, or Alakol, Pants Place (!) or Lem Hill (!) I could leave my house, pick a direction and start wandering through the world, and I felt like there was somewhere in the world where I belonged.
but now with brain housing, I have to intentionally pick a location and go there in order to re-enter the world from home - but sometimes I don't have a particular destination in mind, I'd rather just wander. this had led me to get in a bit of a rut in which I played with my pickle over and over again hoping to get a random teleport back into the world or otherwise just popped back and forth into the same few bits of the world to collect img or currants.
I think there is also something in this that's related to my love of narrative and the lack thereof in the current setup, and so with all this in mind, a proposal:
if street backgrounds were loosely tied to the parts of the world that they match up to, we could think of them as sort of floating above the world. perhaps the giants could be involved with this somehow, if street background styles and/or regions were also somehow affiliated with giants?
a new chat command could then be made available to /leap - this would let you leap back into the world, landing in a random street out of the set of streets affiliated with your street style.
housing, tower and furniture elements could also add to this affiliation, so if you had uralia furniture and a firebog background, maybe you might get a chance of landing in either of these regions. this might lead to some interesting possibilities, if, for example, your hell furniture gave you a (very small) chance of landing in naraka / dying.
thoughts? other ideas that housing could be reconnected with the world somehow? thanks for reading!
(ps: glitch dream zones!)
