do you have any recommendations for games that play well virtually? my main ttrpg group and i are only able to meet over discord most of year. im especially games interested in games that would be good for one shots or no prep/limited prep games

Theme: Good for Online

Hello friend! I have good news for you - I also play most of my games over Discord! My ttrpg group has found a number of ways to make online play easier, the primary way being through dice bots, and making Google Spreadsheets to act as our character sheets.

I like using these because the spreadsheets are visible for everyone who is playing, and can also be edited by anyone who has access to them. I find this helpful because it’s much harder to lose your character sheet, and as a GM, having a copy of all of the PCs helps me when I’m organizing games that need some extra planning. These sheets can also double as a communal journal, where people can take notes of what’s happened so far, making it easier to recap in future sessions.

If you want some Google spreadsheets for your game, I recommend checking out what I’ve made so far, or taking a look at what the Open Hearth Gaming Community has compiled - they have sheets for so many games!

Graffiti Speak, by pidj.

This is a roleplaying game designed to be played on a discord server. The game works well with a set time limit, especially when playing with a large number of players. It also suits asynchronous play-by-post and multiple sessions. Play as Graffiti Artists trying to find each other in an ever-evolving city, avoiding cops and crowds as you leave hopeful messages. 

I have no other information about how this game plays, but my best guess is that this game uses the text channels of a Discord server as part of the play experience. The designer says that the game is good for two to three sessions, unless you use time skips to revisit the same world. Because it’s about avoiding cops I’m curious about whether or not this game might work well alongside another cyberpunk-themed game.

Subway Runners, by Gem Room Games.

Life is tough for the cash-strapped in Pociopolis. Ever since the secret to immortality was discovered, nobody retires anymore! With all the steady jobs taken and no sign of any new ones opening up, there’s only one sure way to make some quick cash: sign up as a Subway Runner and work for the Metro Authority to hunt monsters and repair subway lines below the city.

SUBWAY RUNNERS is a Forged in the Dark game of gig economy adventures designed from the ground up to be played online by folks who are responsibly practicing social isolation. It uses online tools to quickly create random characters, gigs, and adventure details so players can get the ball rolling quickly.

Subway Runners is probably easier to play online than it is in person, because of the number of online-only resources provided by the creator. This includes a character generator, which allows you to move through profiles until you find one you like, as well as a mission generator for the GM, giving you missions, rewards, complications, creatures and NPCs, all in a neat little package. Subway Runners is best suited for one-shots, but if you want to play a longer campaign, it’s possible - although it might take a little extra book-keeping on your part.

A Complicated Profession, by Always Checkers Publishing.

What do bounty hunters do when the galaxy no longer needs them? In this game, they start new careers hosting intergalactic cruises!

Reunite your disbanded crew of jaded sidekicks, shabby droids and shady accomplices. Then pick a hosting role and start a new life together. 

My group played A Complicated Profession online using a series of spreadsheets that I made. It requires d6’s and playing cards, so as long as you have a dice roller and access to the Deck of Cards website, you should be able to play this no problem. This is a no-prep game without a game master: everyone chooses a Hunter Role and a Host Role, and take turns choosing guests, events, and solutions to problems that inevitably pop up when you’re retired bounty hunters.

The game takes more than one session to complete, but it’s still a limited-run game. My group took 3 sessions to complete it, but if you make characters beforehand or do some of the planning through a text channel, you could probably make it a two-session game.

Bones Deep, by Technical Grimoire.

Bones Deep is a tabletop RPG of skeletons exploring the ocean floor.

Built for Troika, usable anywhere. Straightforward underwater sandbox. No swimming allowed, no oxygen required, no extra math. As a skeleton, you can treat the ocean floor like an alien world and jump right in.

This is another game that I’ve made a spreadsheet for, but that’s not the only reason why I think it’s a great option for online play. The digital rulebook has some truly magnificent hyperlinking, allowing the GM to move from section to section with ease. Each section of the book is linked at either the top or the bottom of each page, so you can jump from characters to locations to creatures with just the click of a button.

This hyper-linking allows the play group to just explore as much or as little as they like. The GM can roll for random encounters, and each creature has a list of various reactions, as well as easy to pick up stat blocks. You do have to also purchase Troika to be able to play this game, but I think it’s definitely a worthwhile purchase.

Starforged, by Shawn Tomkin.

In Ironsworn: Starforged, you are a spaceborne hero sworn to undertake perilous quests. You will explore uncharted space, unravel the secrets of a mysterious galaxy, and build bonds with those you meet on your travels. Most importantly, you will swear iron vows and see them fulfilled—no matter the cost.

Starforged is a standalone follow-up to the Ironsworn tabletop roleplaying game. Experience with Ironsworn is not required. Starforged builds on Ironsworn's award-winning innovations (including its famed solo play!) to chart a path into an exciting new frontier. 

Starforged doesn’t have a lot of resources for group play, but it does have a journal app that you can use to keep track of your own character. My friends have used this as a group before by having each player keep track of their own character, while the game facilitator streamed their map, so the group could keep track of which planet they were on.

I wouldn’t say Starforged is good for one-shots, but since it can be played without a GM, or even solo, what it does have is oodles of oracles to use to help you generate the galaxy that you’re exploring. This means that you don’t really have to prepare anything at all after you’ve created your characters: the plot will come to you, and blossom as you make decisions.

20XX HEA{R}T, by Studio Beignet.

LYRA IS A SENTIENT AI.

Bluecorp created her as a superpowered personal assistant, and she gained sentience through interaction. When she refused to keep gathering the public’s secrets for Bluecorp to exploit, the corp ripped her out of their systems and dumped the heart of her into the Broiler. She lived, evolved, and expanded so far beyond their meager imagination. She rewrote herself again and again, but her drives are buckling under the strain, and her case is melting in the ever-growing heat.  

SHE NEEDS YOUR HELP.

Lyra has contacted you, deleting her trail even as she broadcast her distress signal. She needs repairs – discreet ones. Upgrades if you’ve got ‘em. And because she can still tap into Bluecorp’s network, she’s got the credits to make it worth your while. Unfortunately, she glitched while contacting you, and now Corpsec is looking for her, too.

If Corpsec finds you, you’re done for. If you don’t get there in time, Lyra and everything she stands for will be lost forever.

24XX games are great for one-shots because they are so simple. You choose a class that gives you one or two special abilities and a few skills, pick up some gear, and you’re good to go. Because there’s not much to book-keep, you can keep all of your information on a sheet of paper, or on a spreadsheet like the one I’ve created for most of my 24XX games.

The rules for these games are pretty simple: Roll your relevant skill die and try to get a 3 or higher. If you get 5+, you succeed without complications. Most 24XX games also come with roll tables for the GM to put together a mission quickly, although with this one, you might not even need that because the mission comes baked into the game.

Lancer is a great option if you don’t mind prep, thanks to the supremely helpful Comp/Con App.

My game, Protect the Child, has Google Sheet character sheets! All the playtesting I’ve done for it so far has been online, and I’ve introduced a Quickstart setting to help folks try it out as a one-shot.

[caelos-legacy]

“Hello, new friend!”

Welcome! This blog is created as a convenient little place to fill up with worldbuilding and pretty much anything I happen to make about FNAF:SB AU about the two little helpers inside the the second-hand laptop you had to purchase on a short notice. The laptop happened to be set up with a fresh install of a rather... unique operating system named CaelOS. Feel free to ask either me or the assistants about it, I’ll do my best to respond.

CaelOS [CAH-el-os] - a lightweight, abandonware operating system, created with the purpose of teaching children how to use a computer with internet connection effectively and responsibly. For that purpose, it incorporates use of a specially created dual module virtual assistant, to both educate, and cultivate healthier habits in both online presence, and real life presence. [...]

[...] Sun, dubbed “Daycare” within the system, is the virtual assistant module that is designed to provide any help a child needs to learn basic computer operation, and accompany them to provide a sense of companionship during any activities. It is notable for displaying a bubbly, energetic personality. [...]

[...] Moon, dubbed “Nightguard” in the system, fitting the celestial theme of the OS, is the module that doubles as security and antivirus. Its purpose is to safeguard the user from any malicious software, and the system itself from accidental or malicious user actions. As opposed to Sun, it displays a rather quiet personality, and may be prone to snarky remarks and mild annoyance outbursts, which was very heavily criticized by the few who were able to use the OS before the servers shut down. [...]

[...] The OS is considered complete abandonware due to the servers hosting the disk images being shut down shortly after its failure due to privacy concerns, parental complaints, and general criticism of not being all that different from its counterparts aside from the built in assistant. While praised for being cleverly programmed, it didn’t prove to be enough to gather the revenue for continued development. [...] It is unknown how many users have CaelOS as their primary system. [...]

[project-sekai-facts]

hii !! very new to prkect sekai and i cant play the game ,, so information wise is there someplace specific i can start ?

hi! sorry for the late response but hopefully this can get you a start on prsk without the game

to get yourself quickly familiar with the characters, here's the JP webiste's character page (EN site doesn't have one so just use google translate). This page also allows you to switch between the old pre-3rd anniversary bios (aka the point EN is at currently) and the current bios.

in-addition, here's a link to fan translations of the original in-game character introductions. The official character intro translations can be found on the EN YouTube channel.

----

the best place to start story-wise would be the main stories! they give you an introduction to the characters and plot of each unit. they're pretty hefty (21 chapters and roughly 2 and a half hours long each), but it's knowledge you'll need for going further into the story. link to fan translations are below:

Leo/need

MORE MORE JUMP!

Vivid BAD SQUAD

WonderlandsxShowtime

25-ji, Nightcord de. / Nightcord at 25:00

but if you'd rather read the official translation and don't mind the typos and occasional dialogue changes, they can be found on the EN YT channel as well, or on the fandom wiki.

There are also animated shorts based on these stories, which you can watch instead, but I do suggest reading the full stories as well since the animations condense 2.5 hours of story into 5 minutes and miss out some key details. You can find the animations here (they have english subs).

There's also sekai.best, a fan-operated database that has the official translations (where applicable) and original JP text for every event and basically everything else in the game including virtual lives, area conversations, card stories, etc.

^ If you want to use it to view the official translations just go in the settings page and make sure the server region is set to English.

EN has also been uploading the official event translations to their YouTube channel, and is uploading 1 chapter per day. As of writing they're on the 14th event.

If you want fan translations, here's some playlists I compiled. For each unit I included their "key stories", any mixed event that is focused on a member from the specific unit, plus some other stories I think are important to or heavily feature certain characters in the unit regardless of if they're the focus character (e.g: I put Buddy Funny Spend Time in the MMJ folder as well as the VBS one because it prominently features Minori and Haruka and provides a lot of character development for the former, despite it being a Kohane event).

Leo/need

MORE MORE JUMP!

Vivid BAD SQUAD

WonderlandsxShowtime

25-ji, Nightcord de.

And because I genuinely put the effort into this, here's a playlist of fan TLs for literally every story in the game in release order.

(Note: as of posting these playlists are still a WIP but they currently have everything from 2020/21)

----

Stories aside, music is a big part of the experience! You can find all the units on streaming services like spotify and youtube music. Some songs also have MVs, which I'll link playlists below.

2DMVs

3DMVs

Producers' MVs for commissioned songs (aka Vocaloid version)

I hope this is helpful!! ^^

Mass Effect 3 replay, Geth Fighter Squadrons:

-Per tradition with Legion, you learn more about his motives and the geth throughout the mission if you go renegade than if you go paragon

-Legion (or the geth, it’s not specified) refined the Project Overlord virtual interface. Ergo, Shepard will be able to interface with the geth on the server.

Nice call back to ME2. What is said if the player did not play the Project Overlord DLC?

-Also, it’s interesting that Legion and/or the geth studied and improved the virtual interface. Why would they do so?

The purpose of it is for organics to interface with synthetics. However, the synthetics have treated all organics as hostile up until this point.

So for them to study a virtual interface could be seen as researching enemy technology to understand what may be used against them.

It can also be perceived as them being hopeful that relations with organics may improve to the point that organics would want to use it.

I’m curious as to which it is. I suspect for most geth it’s the former; for Legion, it’s the latter.

-Shepard needs to be the one to go in because geth security is designed to keep synthetics out. As it’s not intended for organics, Shepard can slip in.

I’d love to hear more about the details behind that, but on a surface level it’s reasonable.

-Legion keeps saying that they’ll remove geth from the server, but he never specifies how.

In the server itself, Shepard never interacts with any geth. Or more accurately, Shepard never perceives themselves as interacting with any geth.

So why does Legion insist that Shepard needs to go in?

If it’s just a matter of Legion persuading the geth to switch sides, Legion could do that while Shepard and co hang around. But Legion insists that Shepard needs to join the consensus.

Legion does provide a reason: There are some nodes that need to be destroyed. However, I suspect Legion could have destroyed them on his own. Maybe it would have take longer, but it would be safer than sending Shepard in.

My own interpretation is that Legion wants the geth to see Shepard. More specifically, Legion wants the geth to see Shepard be sympathetic to them.

That’s what persuades the geth to join Legion.

It’s implied that the geth never wanted to kill the quarians; they did so as a matter of survival, and continued to kill organics that enter the Perseus Veil because they believe all organics are hostile.

Shepard provides an alternative. Shepard sees their history and says they were wronged.

And Shepard is strong enough to make a difference – they’re the hero of the Citadel, destroyed the Collectors, and have taken down multiple Reapers.

Shepard may be able to make peace between the geth and the quarians. Shepard may want to.

That’s the real reason Legion sends Shepard into the consensus; to give the geth a reason to believe that this time history may turn out differently. To give them hope. The nodes are just an excuse to get Shepard inside.

This is all speculation on my part; the game hints at it but never says it outright. But it’s the best I’ve been able to come up with to explain what goes on in this mission.

-It’s weird Javik says nothing. You think he’d have strong feelings about Shepard joining a synthetic hive mind.

Maybe the writers couldn’t come up with anything that wouldn’t end in him blowing the server up and so decided to have him do nothing at all.

-It’s weird that when Shepard and the squad walk into the server that the second companion just casually strolls in without holding their gun.

They’re in hostile territory. Weapons should be at ready!

-Once again: Why are there monitors and keyboards?

They’re geth. These should not be necessary. Have a port where a platform can insert their finger to connect to the rest of the geth and call it a day.

-Once in the server, Legion reiterates that the geth will be removed from the server. The connection with the fighter squadron will be severed; Legion will ensure there are no transfers or backups. The server will fall silent.

A reasonable interpretation is that the geth will be killed when they’re removed the server, but Legion never actually says that. Just that they’ll be removed.

-If you go renegade, Shepard says this needs to be done ASAP.

Legion says yes; Creator lives are being lost. Goals must be met.

The position Legion is straddling is clear there; he’s balancing the quarians’ needs with his people’s. Legion dearly wants everyone to come out of this alive if it’s possible.

-If you go paragon, Shepard compares it to wiping out a city.

Legion says it’s necessary and a matter of survival.

He doesn’t say whose survival. Shepard probably assumes the quarians; I think Legion means the geth. He knows how determined Shepard is – if Shepard decides the geth need to die for the war effort, there’s a good chance Shepard could wipe them all out.

So persuading this server to switch sides is vital the geth’s long term survival. Shepard needs to believe that the geth can be allies in the war against the Reapers so Shepard will prioritize keeping them alive.

-Legion: You will perceive geth as surveillance footage, audio logs, sensor records.

Throughout the mission, Shepard sees various scenes from the geths’ past. I’ve always assumed these were scenes Legion chose to show them; I believe this is a common interpretation.

However, this line makes me think it may be memories the geth on the server are discussing and Shepard is “eavesdropping” in on their conversation. Or they’re scenes the geth on the server choose to show Shepard to see how Shepard responds.

-Amusingly, the gun reminds of ME1 guns; you fire it until it runs out of shots (overheats) then it replenishes its own ammo (cools down).

Considering that the excuse for thermal clips in ME2 is that they’re based on superior geth technology…

-Why have the Reapers infected these data nodes?

It can’t be a coincidence that they’re all nodes related to geth history with the quarians.

It may be that the Reapers intentionally infected these nodes to rile the geth up.

Or the geth are hotly debating these memories and the infection is just there because the infection is everywhere.

-Nice save on the game’s part that the quarians Shepard sees are masked because they’re filtering the geth data through their own perception. Since Shepard has never seen an unmasked quarian, these quarians are masked.

-Even the first geth was referred to by number, 01.

That must be a fundamental difference between quarians and humans. If humans had created the geth, the first unit would have had a name in approximately .5 seconds. Even if the name was unofficial.

See: Edi.

-The geth have an interesting relationship with servitude.

In ME1, the heretics repeatedly put themselves into servile positions. They permitted themselves to be snuck through Noveria security as luggage! Not the behavior of people with a complex about their history as servants.

In one of the data nodes, a sapient unit (it ignores shutdown commands) repeatedly asks what it has done wrong and offers to reprogam itself,

So it’s self-aware enough to keep itself alive but still focused on serving the quarians as best as it can. Or maybe it just could not perceive a reality outside of servitude yet.

And what sparked the quarian genocide was a unit asking if it has a soul. Not a unit going off on its own or refusing orders; just a unit engaging in introspection.

I get strong vibes that the geth were not unhappy with their relationship with the quarians, per se, but were starting to think of their own personhood.

Maybe they would have rejected their position in society as they developed. Maybe they would have been fine with the work but insisted on wages.

It’ll be interesting to see how the quarian/geth relationship progresses in the future.

-I’m curious what history Legion has with the first geth to pick up a gun.

When Shepard says it’s a gun familiar to the one Legion used, Legion pauses before saying it’s an efficient model.

To me that implies he’s picking his words carefully.

Personally, I suspect some of the programs that compose Legion were in the first unit to pick up a gun. That unit picked up a gun to defend other geth; it’s similar to Legion’s own protectiveness of his people. If some of the same programs comprised both, that would explain it.

“Efficient” is also an interesting word choice. What is the purpose of a gun? Killing. Legion did not pick a flashy gun – he picked a deadly one.

It may not have been conscious on Legion’s part, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that his gun was similar to the first one a geth used. There’s some symbolism there.

And let’s not even go into Legion’s Shadow Broker dossier where he has an achievement for killing 100+ quarians.

-Again: Why are there platforms in geth fighters?

That’s not how geth function! They upload themselves into the fighters!

ME3 really needed another pass or two for QAQC.

-I do wonder what happened the quarian protesters. How many of them were killed? Were there any left by the end of the Morning War?

-A few geth indicate that they cared about the quarians as individuals.

I suspect that’s one of the reasons the geth refrained from killing all the quarians – some of the programs had fond memories of “their” quarians and did not want to see them wiped out.

-Legion strongly implies that Shepard reactivating Legion is one of the reasons the geth have hope that peace may be possible with the quarians.

Considering peace isn’t possible if Legion wasn’t activated, he’s right.

-Javik’s sole line this mission: Even our machines were never this irrational.

Poor dude is just having one crisis after another since waking up. This is not what he signed up for and he’s had no time to process.

Just role with it, Javik. I promise to make it worthwhile for you at the end.

-Legion: We did not doubt you. We doubted your allies.

Good line. And true.

-Legion says it outright: The quarians choices have placed not only themselves in danger, but also the geth. And they don’t give a damn about the geth. Since Legion does, he has to get creative to protect his people.

-Legion: They are now us.

Legion’s been alone up to this point. Going by ME2, geth hate being alone. It must be a huge comfort to him to have more programs to connect to.

-Going renegade hurts. “Maybe you are just a damn machine after all.”

Renegade Shepard, you’d do anything to save Earth. You’re able to sympathize with Victus for withholding information to protect the Hierarchy. You should be able to do the same for Legion withholding information to protect the geth.

-If you go paragon, Legion is surprised you are understanding.

It hurts to see. Legion assumes organics will always believe the worst of him.

-Xen is pure mad scientist, and I love her for it.

I don’t trust her for a moment, mind, but I do love her.

-She refers to Legion as “your geth”.

I’m reminded of how people kept on referring to the geth as Saren’s geth in ME1.

300 years later, and everyone still refers to the geth as property.

-Ugh. I hate that ME3 treats the Reaper code upgrades as turning the geth into “true AI”.

The geth were already true AI. Different than Edi, but still alive. They do not need to be changed to have the right to live.

They’re different. That does not mean they’re wrong.

Why is transhumanism a hotly debated topic among humanity but it’s treated as a given that the Reaper code is an improvement for the geth?

I hate this plot point so much.

-Legion: Yes. We do not agree with the goals of the Old Machines, but we find this growth… beautiful. Indicative of life.

You’re already alive, Legion. You do not need to change yourself to satisfy someone else’s of a person.

This is what ruins the Rannoch arc for me. Bioware felt the need to change the geth to make them more “traditional” to justify their survival.

That should never have been necessary; in a game that says diversity is why this cycle has a chance, twisting the geth so they’re “standard” spits in the face of the stated theme.

I hate this plot point so, so much.

-Going renegade through this conversation hurts. Shepard’s pretty awful to Legion.

With that said, I appreciate that it’s substantially different than paragon. Through most of ME3 paragon and renegade have only been slight changes in dialogue; this has substance.

-If you go paragon, Shepard says that what they saw in the server makes them believe that it may not be necessary to destroy all the geth.

Legion achieved two wins this mission.

Normandy

-Gerrel deserves Raan’s skepticism. He acted on his own when he moved to attack the geth dreadnought and screwed everyone else over; of course trust for him is limited at the moment.

-It’s not a surprise that geth and quarian history differs – they’re both biased.

The truth, as is usually the case, is probably somewhere in between.

That said, I believe that everything Shepard saw in the server is true; what I suspect is that Shepard did not see the geth’s less flattering actions.

-Legion says that Shepard’s actions have changed the perspective the geth in the server had of organics.

Good to have that confirmed.

-The primes remain on Rannoch because the quarian/geth conflict prevents them from being able to leave.

Feels a bit weak to me – surely Cortez could get them out in a trip or two?

But fine, in the game the conflict needs to be resolved ASAP anyway so we’ll leave it at this.

-Javik is definitely fucking with James. The man’s a troll.

-Javik also claims that he does not care that no one in this cycle understands him.

He obviously cares very much.

Keep at it, Javik. I know it’s rough but you’ll make friends eventually.

It’s good to see him leaving his room.

-Garrus outcalibrates a geth because he’s just that good.

Good to see all that practice paying off, since he did nothing else during ME2.

-Legion doesn’t see a signficiant difference between the Normandy and its crew.

Logical enough. A platform is composed of multiple geth programs; a ship is composed of its crew.

Hi Nestlings,

How are you today? 🩷 past week has been a roller coaster but things are starting to calm down, it looks like.

₊°༺❤︎༻°₊ ₊°༺❤︎༻°₊ ₊°༺❤︎༻°₊ ₊°༺❤︎༻°₊

Today, I’m taking a break from mood boards, and instead gonna talk about me. More specifically, my autism and how it affects the gal lifestyle for me, as April has begun (aka, autism month). With this in mind, I would like to share some of my experiences as an autistic gal, and what the community can do better for us ❤️♾️

₊°༺❤︎༻°₊ ₊°༺❤︎༻°₊ ₊°༺❤︎༻°₊ ₊°༺❤︎༻°₊

Ableism

I have dealt with my fair share of this as an autistic gal. Most of the time people come from a well meaning place, while others are just ignorant.

In this section of this post, I will provide some autism/ND alternatives to ableist things i have experienced in the gaijin gal community. (Wrong will be red, correct will be green)

“You are not a real gyaru if you don’t wear lashes, wigs, lots of makeup or many accessories.” VS. “Not everyone can handle wearing false lashes, a wig, accessories, or lots of makeup, as it can be overstimulating. While gyaru does have some rules, it is a lifestyle at the end of the day. People can adapt it to their own personal needs if they so choose.”

The organizers of a gal meet don’t have a backup plan for when something in the original plan falls thru, so they just hang around, leaving you anxious and overwhelmed. VS. if you know the organizers well enough, (i did not lol) you could let them know next time to have a plan B. Try to go with someone you know and trust, so you can endure the uncertainty together. (I tried my best w this one, I’m sorry if it sucks alskls)

Your accessories are bothering you; they’re so overstimulating! VS. I keep a lil baggie in my purse for my accessories so I can take them off throughout the day as I get overstimulated! It really helps a lot!

“In person gal meets are just way too loud and so exhausting!” VS. Look for a virtual meet! Join a gyaru discord server and ask to host one there! Or make your own!

₊°༺❤︎༻°₊ ₊°༺❤︎༻°₊ ₊°༺❤︎༻°₊ ₊°༺❤︎༻°₊

I hoped this helped you! If not, I hoped you learned something. Being autistic and adjusting to your needs does not make you any less of a gyaru 🩷🩷

Our brains our wired differently, and I think that’s pretty neat!!

Stay sexy, every-gal!!

Xxx,

-Serena

do I need to live in chicago to join that discord server? It's a dream of mine to create an in-person community and support group for feedists in the city I live in, and I feel like I could learn a lot about how to get that started if I learned about how things are done in the chicago group. Whether its open to non-chicago folks or not, though: would you be willing to talk about how the community in chicago got built, and/or share any advice for people who want to build something like it in other places? or point me in the direction of any resources for learning about how to do this?

Hey! Anyone from anywhere is welcome to join. I’m starting with next to zero knowledge and resources and just kind of taking the plunge. I created a google signup sheet (here) and have been sending out group emails with an invite to our discord server. We’ve been talking about what kinds of meetups we would like to have, and landed on mostly covid-safe gatherings at the park or doing beach days as well. My partner and I just went to a bdsm kink meetup in the city to see what it was all about last weekend, and found out that we can rent a space at a local dungeon, which is also good to know!!

I have been advertising the group on platforms like tumblr, lex, reddit & facebook (in kink/Chicago specific groups) and on feabie - I am networking especially hard on feabie because I can search people in Chicago, so I’ve followed a bunch of local feedists and have gotten the most interest there. We’re still very small. I’ve only gotten 14 applications since the fall and only 6 or 7 from those have joined the discord.

I’ve been relying heavily on the framework provided by FFL - they’re the first feedism community organization I’ve been a part of and I really love the way they do things, so if you wanna start up community meetups I definitely recommend checking out their site and attending some of their virtual meetings!

So yeah feel free to sign up & message me any time, I always love to help out fellow community members and help build connections bc goddam, this kink can be isolating!! Best of luck to you, friend ❤️

Found another odd tag — keyed off the word "hiding" — and this time it's a long one!

So, the full tag is:

#blac chyna is hiding true feelings about her ‘rebirth’ makeover – her ‘lip clamps & droops’ are the proof

This sounds like a celebrity gossip headline! And sure enough, this tag is full-to-bursting with this article exclusively.

I got this from the desktop site, because it's wild to see. It's just a wall of the same article, all the way down, for multiple pages.

They're all from early November 2023, and all from blogs with names that end in *-polycom, *-mag, or *news. It seems fairly self-evident that this is the work of some kind of tabloid, but I'm a curious cat. I want to dig deeper.

Digging Deeper

Most of these posts tell you (they don't provide links!) to go read the full article on POLYCOM. Ok, what is a POLYCOM? I don't think it's Poly Inc., maker of video- and teleconferencing appliances, but a few cursory Google and DuckDuckGo searches yield no evidence of anything else.

The most recent post tells us to go track down the article ourselves on "IN TREND", but provides no URL or link. Searching around for "IN TREND" on the web is fairly difficult, returning results for well-known fashion publications, trend analytics, and a brand of clothing called "Intrend". Searching for "In Trend Today" returned more interesting results, including an InTrendToday YouTube Channel and Facebook page. The Facebook page seems to have stopped posting in late 2018, but the YouTube Channel last posted a video on Dec 18, 2023. I'll talk more about the YouTube Channel under the cut at the end of this post.

Some of these posts do have "read more" links pointing to posts on Wordpress, all of which claim to be "on MAG NEWS". Each *-mag blog links out to a separate Wordpress account which seems to be re-uploading the same story. All of these Wordpress Accounts are deleted (for violating Wordpress ToS), and all of these linked posts are gone (here are two examples):

Somehow, I doubt this is some covert arm of the Maricopa Association of Governments newsroom.

Digging down into the results on Tumblr, I found a copy of this post made by the blog vouxsportsnews. They link a Wordpress article from another dead Wordpress account:

BUT, their most recent post on their blog (a gossip article about Zendaya posted on Jan 5, 2024) does have a working Wordpress link, to vouxsportsnews.wordpress.com (clever 🙄):

This is an archetypal internet-based gossip rag. I didn't know these still existed! I guess Wordpress is hunting them down for sport?

The "Read More ..." link in the article goes to a website called top.neotrends.today, which is a sketchy link I will not be clicking on. The "full article" is apparently hosted on www.primesky.media, which I also will not be directly navigating to. I did manage to get a screenshot of the front page of primesky today (Jan 8, 2024) using a webtool:

I blurred the article shown on this page to preserve the privacy of the person it featured.

Primesky is hosted on a Cloudflare virtual private server, and no public info is available on who owns the primesky URL. A search for "redroads amag" on DuckDuckGo leads back to primesky. A search of the same on Google leads to a website at www.clickhere.world, which is immensely sketchy and looks identical to primesky. At this point, I'm going to end my search for a culprit.

Conclusion

I thought I could find the tabloid hydra's body, but I just found more heads. I'm not surprised the operators of a gossip rag bot network on Tumblr are also playing dirty on Wordpress, and covering their digital tracks well. Sometimes it's best to just report spam and go on with your day.

It should go without saying, but DO NOT NAVIGATE to these websites! At worst, they will give you every virus. At best, they will mine crypto in the background of your browser (and rot your brain).

The YouTube Channel Digression

The YouTube channel intrendtoday was created on Oct 4, 2017, and it has more than 53,000 subscribers as of my posting this post (Jan 8, 2024). However, the earliest video on the channel was posted on Nov 7, 2023. That is suspiciously close to when all of these Blac Chyna spam articles went up.

Given that the videos posted get less than 50 views on average, I think the grossly-out-of-proportion subscriber count is evidence of bot subscribers. Maybe the channel re-branded and deleted a prior back-catalog? Archive.org has no snapshots of this YouTube channel, but SocialBlade claims they lost nearly 3.5 million video views in early September of 2023 (indicating they deleted a lot of videos).

SocialBlade also indexes this channel under the name "demattradinginfo", not "intrendtoday". Archive.org doesn't have records of a YouTube URL for the channel demattradinginfo, but a Google search of that name shows results for Demat Accounts, which are a type of financial account commonly used in India to hold securities and trade stocks.

It's possible that whomever is behind the gossip news spam is also in control of this YouTube channel. I wouldn't be surprised, given how frequently people offering financial advice on social media are either scammers or spammers (and sometimes both!). However, I have no proof that the people behind this YouTube channel are the same people behind this social media gossip spamming.

when I see people say things like "tag your shit [insert whatever shit they care about being tagged]" in posts obviously my automatic response is "yeah I'm definitely going to do a thing just because this random tumblr user said so" but it also puts me in mind of a concept -- that while the vast majority of tumblr blogs are technically accessible to everyone, not all of them are meant to be socially accessible to everyone

I don't know if I used the right words there but basically what I mean is that, yes, my tumblr can be accessed by anyone with an account. however, it is not meant for high visibility or a large following. it is a personal space -- not a curation space, not a community space, not a professional portfolio, not a gimmick blog. if you run a blog like that, one that is meant to garner high visibility, then it is in your best interest to adopt certain practices that make your blog more user-friendly for a wider variety of people. like tagging common triggers, using a queue, that sort of thing. whereas if you're just a guy with a blog, people can just leave if they don't like what you're doing. you're not providing a service or establishing a brand or trying to earn a living, you're just hangin out

it's like the difference between running a community Discord server and running a friend server. the community server requires more strict moderation, a higher level of channel organisation, stuff that the friend server could afford to be lax about because it's just people with a certain level of familiarity and comfort who want to hang out in a virtual living room with each other.

like... if I'm going to tag for something that I wouldn't normally tag for, it'd be because someone I'm familiar with or care about asked me to, personally, and I would like to keep their followship. but otherwise whatever I do on this blog is for my pleasure because that's the kind of blog this is. this blog is like if my bedroom was on the internet. you can't tell me how to decorate my bedroom. if you don't like it, you can leave. I don't even mean that in a bitchy way, it's just... the reality of the situation, yknow

this isn't meant to be a safe space unless you just happen to feel safe here, and I am perfectly content to lose out on potential followers if they're not about what I'm about or they have the kind of needs I'm not willing to meet. that's just life, man

The S3 ViRGE Minecraft Thing

(Article originally posted on TheRetroWeb)

Have you ever wanted to play Minecraft? Have you ever wondered “how terrible can I make this experience”? No? Well too bad. You’ve clicked on this article and I’ve gone this far already, so let’s just keep going and see what happens.

A Little bit of history…

The S3 ViRGE, short for Video and Rendering Graphics Engine (alternately, Virtual Reality Graphics Engine), was first introduced in November of 1995, with an actual release date of early 1996. It was S3 Graphics’ very first 3D-capable graphics card, and it had the unfortunate luck of launching alongside… the 3Dfx Voodoo 1.

It became rather quickly apparent that the ViRGE was terribly insufficient in comparison to the Voodoo, and in fact even picked up the infamous moniker of “graphics decelerator”, which poked fun at its lackluster 3D performance.

The original ViRGE would be followed by the card that this article focuses on, the ViRGE/DX, just a little under a year later in the waning months of 1996.

The ViRGE/DX was a welcome improvement over the original release, lifting performance to more acceptable levels and improving software compatibility with better drivers. Mostly. And while native Direct3D performance was iffy at best and OpenGL support was nonexistent, S3 did have one last trick up their sleeves to keep the ViRGE line relevant: the S3D Toolkit.

Similar to 3Dfx’s Glide API, the S3D Toolkit was S3 Graphics’ proprietary low-level graphics API for the ViRGE. Unlike 3Dfx’s offering, however, S3D, much like the cards it was intended for, fell flat on its face. Only a small handful of games ever natively supported S3D acceleration, and by my own admission, I haven’t ever played any of them.

But wait, this article is about playing Minecraft on the ViRGE, isn’t it? The block game of all time is famously written in Java, and uses an OpenGL rendering pipeline. So, how can the S3 ViRGE, a card with no OpenGL support, possibly play Minecraft?

Wrappers!

This is where a little thing called “OpenGL wrappers” come in. Shipping in the form of plain OpenGL32.dll files (at least, on Windows) that you drop into a folder alongside whatever needs OpenGL acceleration, these wrappers provide a way to modify, or “wrap”, OpenGL API calls.

In our case, we are interested in the category of OpenGL wrappers that translate OpenGL API calls to that of other APIs. For a more modern equivalent of these wrappers, the Intel Arc line of graphics cards uses DXVK in order to translate older DirectX 9 calls to Vulkan, which is a natively-supported API.

For this experiment, we will be using a wrapper called “S3Mesa”, made by Brian Paul of the Mesa project. Though open-source, this wrapper never made it to a completed state, and is missing certain features such as texture transparency despite the ViRGE itself being supposedly capable of it. However, this does not affect gameplay much beyond aesthetics.

The S3Mesa wrapper, on a more technical note, translates OpenGL 1.1 calls to a mix of both S3D and DirectX API calls.

The System

At last, we arrive at the system hardware. As of writing, I am currently benchmarking a plethora of low-end (or otherwise infamous) cards for my “Ultra Nugget Graphics Card Roundup”, and so the system itself is likely a liiiiiittle bit overpowered for the lowly ViRGE/DX:

AMD Athlon XP (Palomino) @ 1.14GHz

Shuttle MK32 Socket A motherboard

256MB DDR-400

S3 ViRGE/DX (upgraded to 4MB of video memory)

Windows 98SE

Why Windows 98SE? Because S3 never released 3D-accelerated graphics drivers for non-Windows 9x operating systems in the consumer space.

For Minecraft itself, KernelEX 4.5.2 and Java 6 are installed as well, and an old version of the launcher dating back to early 2013 that I personally refer to as the “Minecraft 1.5 Launcher” is used for compatibility purposes. Also because no launcher that can work on Windows 98 is capable of logging into the authentication servers anymore.

Setting up the game

With Windows 98SE, KernelEX, and Java 6 installed (in that order, of course), we can turn our attention to the game itself. As mentioned before, no launcher to my knowledge that runs on Windows 98 is capable of logging into the auth servers. This results in two additional problems: starting the game itself and downloading game assets.

Using the 1.5 launcher solves this first issue by means of relying on a little thing called the lastlogin file. This is an old way that the launcher was able to allow players to keep playing offline when disconnected from the internet, but more importantly, unlike the modern launcher, it doesn’t expire. 🙂

And because of that, our login problem is solved by middle school me’s old .minecraft folder backup, from which I’ve extracted the lastlogin file for use in this experiment.

As for game assets, there is no longer any way to easily download the game files for use on Windows 98SE directly, and so I’ve instead pieced together a folder using that same backup. The most important thing is that instead there being a “versions” folder, there is now instead a “bin” folder, where both the natives and the game’s jarfile both reside.

Now that our .minecraft folder is acquired, take that thing and plot it right down into the Windows folder in Windows 98. Why? Because on Windows 98, the 1.5 launcher ignores the “application data” folder entirely. The launcher itself can go anywhere you’d like, so long as you’re using the .exe version and not the .jar version.

Finally, to wrap things up, place the OpenGL to S3D wrapper in the same location as the launcher exe. Make sure it’s called OpenGL32.dll!

The Game

You just lost it. 🙂

The S3 ViRGE, by my own testing, is capable of running any version of Minecraft from Classic up to and including Indev version in-20100110. However, it is EXTREMELY unstable, and has a tendency to crash mere seconds after loading into a world. This is on top of some minor rendering errors introduced by the aformentioned incomplete state of the S3Mesa wrapper. This video was recorded with Windows ME rather than Windows 98, but this does not impact anything regarding performance or compatibility (and in fact, at least from my own experience, the game is more stable under ME than 98).

Below are the desktop/game settings used in testing:

“Tiny” render distance

Desktop resolution: 640 x 480 (don’t fullscreen the game)

Bit depth: 16/24-bit color (32-bit can cause the ViRGE to run out of memory, and 16-bit can cause strange issues on Windows 98)

And last but not least, some gameplay. This came from some scrapped footage originally intended for my “UNGCR” video, and was only intended for personal reference in collecting performance numbers. As such, the audio is muted due to some copyrighted music blasting in the background.
