I was out Daygaming yesterday and it was, in my opinion, the perfect weather for Daygame. I prefer it a little cooler, because of my temperament, and so the ~20 degree heat and cool breeze felt absolutely amazing. I had some goals for the session: 6-10 sets: this is in keeping with my choice to … Continue reading Amplifying Pain Points & Escalation-Laced Stacks (Field Report 31st July)

High Energy and Low Energy Daygame
Over the first half of 2018 it has been made apparent to me that there are two ways to practice Daygame: high energy (HE) and low energy (lE) (blog posts inspiring this one: here and here). Both have different aims, structure, levels of enjoyment, and even physiological experience. So as the British heatwave rumbles on … Continue reading High Energy and Low Energy Daygame
30/30: The Importance of Writing
When I was younger, I would write my own stories. At primary school, I would always be excited for the creative writing classes and my mind would spin with ideas on what to write. I became a teenager (through no fault of my own), and naturally, writing stories didn’t seem very cool anymore. The fire … Continue reading 30/30: The Importance of Writing
28/30: Inner Game Books
“Work on my Inner Game” is a phrase that’s bandied around a lot. While it is undeniably important, it’s also an incredibly vague statement. What does “work” entail in this case? Is it a physical activity with a spiritual element? Is it deep introspection while picking out the intricacies of a blank wall? Is it … Continue reading 28/30: Inner Game Books
#47: White Man God Mode (25/30)
Splat! Another jet of water shot up into the air and then crashed back down against the ground. Splat! There went another one. Leicester Square’s crystal plumage danced around its central inhabitant and cooled his brow. It was a warm day, with clear skies. Around 23 degrees celsius. A circle of benches ran around the … Continue reading #47: White Man God Mode (25/30)
21/30: Storytelling, In-set Calmness and Dominance
I’ve just been messaging someone about storytelling and said to him that “there’s less to it than is described”. I suppose to be more accurate, there’s less to it than you might think, and a little goes a long way. When I started Daygame I was one of the many people who thought that you … Continue reading 21/30: Storytelling, In-set Calmness and Dominance
20/30: Presence
Living in the future is probably the chief problem of Daygame sessions. When you’re thinking about the number of sets you have left to do, or the numbers you’ve already got, or even just where you’re heading to next, you’re being pulled out of the present. Too much forward thinking is pussy repellant, whereas focusing … Continue reading 20/30: Presence
19/30: Big Five Calibration
Following on from yesterday’s post, let’s try and build some calibration rules of thumb using the big five personality traits. Now, of course you could go fetch a pen and paper, maybe jot down some ideas yourself. Or even just look up into the sky and try to think of some off the top of … Continue reading 19/30: Big Five Calibration
Scottish Ruminations
This weekend I was away visiting a girl who I fucked last summer named Ganna. She’s Ukrainian but is studying in Glasgow, and while I was there I contemplated a couple of things. Firstly, as I was walking through duty free to get to my gate, I noticed something interesting which I’ve never seen written … Continue reading Scottish Ruminations
Jealousy
One of the main reasons why I started this blog was to mull over my thoughts. Writing is thinking. By writing, I understand the world better. Writing this has given me a lot of perspective, not just for current events but also for how the LDM founders might think about myself. I sent it to … Continue reading Jealousy
