It's kind of super interesting how people are trying to "self-condition trough code", the socio-psychological aspects of this, especially in the context of the "attention economy" are also kinda scary.

A bit like biological weapon researchers trying to immunize themselves against their own weapons.

Sorry for the crass example, it's not meant as negative as it sounds, but overall it's a pretty good comparison.

Really cool that Kenney designed the logo. I've been learning game development lately and have found his asset packs very useful. Small world!
It wasn't designed for the plugin I just used to do a lot of game jams and used his art packs so they're my goto for placeholder art. Before I officially launch the plugin I'll get something more customized
Sounds interesting!

I would recommend you to add some examples of what your extention actually does. The code of ethics only gives me a vague idea.

I'll do that next. Some screenshots of before and after
