Props to you for being anti-porn but also understanding people are not their past. woot

there’s a really, really weird culture surrounding porn. bc secularly, it’s mostly seen as normal and, to an extent, healthy.

and then in christian circles, it’s obviously looked down upon, which I agree with, but. From what I’ve seen, ALL of the attention/discussion goes to try and scare people off from it. “porn is evil. It destroys your soul. You will never recover.” Yes, porn is evil. But the beauty of Jesus Christ’s atonement is that we CAN recover! We can heal! We can be forgiven! We can leave past sins behind! I wish there was more focus on recovering from porn addiction rather than avoiding it. Then, people would be less ashamed to get help. And, let’s be honest, even within Christianity, the MAJORITY of people have watched porn. Therefore, the MAJORITY of people are probably more worried about repentance than warnings to avoid it.

I wish there was more of this attitude toward addiction in general tbh. Less stigma, more encouragement and talk of repentance.

i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.

there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.

anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.

A Better World - create an alternate history timeline

Alter Ego - abandonware birth-to-death life simulator game

Seedship - text-based game about colonizing a new planet

Sandboxels or ThisIsSand - free-falling sand physics games

Little Alchemy 2 - combine various elements to make new ones

Infinite Craft - kind of the same as Little Alchemy

ZenGM - simulate sports

Tamajoji - browser-based tamagotchi

IFDB - interactive fiction database (text adventure games)

Written Realms - more text adventure games with a user interface

The Cafe & Diner - mystery game

The New Campaign Trail - US presidential campaign game

Money Simulator - simulate financial decisions

Genesis - text-based adventure/fantasy game

Level 13 - text-based science fiction adventure game

Miniconomy - player driven economy game

Checkbox Olympics - games involving clicking checkboxes

BrantSteele.net - game show and Hunger Games simulators

Murder Games - fight to the death simulator by Orteil

Cookie Clicker - different but felt weird not including it. by Orteil.

if you're ever thinking about making a niche project that only a select number of individuals will be nerdy enough to enjoy, keep in mind i've been playing some of these games off and on for 20~ years (Alter Ego, for example). quite literally a lifetime of replayability.
