minecraft

-

<rin> the gist of it is that when I was with my ex who just kind of brought things up to start fights, I eventually got numb to it and mentally checked out of arguing. it was always insanely mundane stuff that would get responses (eg asking if a weapon in warframe was meta and taking it personally if I said it wasn't) so I naturally concluded "ah yeah, minecraft won't do that"

<rin> but what I didn't realise is that in response to any attempt to do that in minecraft, I'd go dwarfmode and just build an incomprehensible hyperfixation labyrinth while nodding and going "mhm" every time argument bait was dropped

<rin> this base had literally 300 rooms, connected by tunnels and spires with nothing in them that I constructed in a fugue state and filled with mannequins, but then I realised I had a problem

<rin> that was really really really fucking scary

<rin> what I had ACTUALLY built was a city that could house an entire faction, to scale with some real life towns and fully furnished, in a place where ambient cave noises would play and it wasn't always clear where the next door to the surface (or an airlock into a cavern) was

<rin> and I got so creeped out conceptually by having a massive labyrinth that was made entirely of negative autistic energy, filled with mannequins that I placed seemingly only to scare myself, that I stopped going in most of it and kind of hid in one of the top floors (the one with the terracotta ballroom and the roman style bathing area)

<rin> the end result was that I started building houses inside of the house, smaller basecamps that were less creepy than the massive empty structure, along with numbered signs and routes through it that avoided "the creepy parts"

<rin> the creepy parts were like. exceptionally weird.

<rin> it wasn't even built as a base, but just vaguely attached "expansion" that usually simulated something or otherwise looked like it should have a use

<rin> for example, a series of identical plazas, connected by a central spiral staircase, all with identical underground apartment buildings that flanked all four sides, down to the furniture inside of them, all the way to bedrock

<gf> oh my god babe

<gf> i don't even know what to say. just oh my god

<rin> there were multiple restaurants, and the gimmick of them is that they were identical except for the color of the wool used on the carpet, and there were 20 of them

<friend> rin, are you like, okay

<rin> oh no I'm insane

<rin> genuinely I wish I still had the world file because like, what cool organic horror it was

<gf> yeah that sounds kind of incredible in like a really terrible way

<rin> there were distinctly the small manageable rooms where I was actually comfortable playing the game and then there was the horrifying maze of structures that made up my mental labyrinth further in or something

<rin> total aside, that's why there's the metrolith labyrinths in vesalblood. the "compacted underground urban center built on top of other urban centers" thing struck me as a cool enough concept to keep

Flawless exchange between me and my mother.

[safety-rat-adventures]

“Squeak.”

“ >:0!!! SQUEAK!!!”

“Squeak.. squeak squeak!”

Open chatlog?

Scavenger Rat: “Get rat bitches.”

Safety Rat: “OI!! PG!!!”

Safety Rat sighs while Scavenger Rat cackles.

Safety Rat: “Sorry.. I don’t know yet! I’m just happy people actually like me!”

Safety Rat’s face is a mix of incredible joy and a hint of sadness.

I was having a chat with @that-dreaming-dragon about otherheartedness, which I'm still trying to wrap my head around, and we had this exchange that they thought summarized things well.

Ryuu: One metaphor I use for heartedness is that, my kinity is my heart (the irony XD), my kardiatype is my bone, and my hearttype is my value, my memories, my preference. Things that are not me, but also part of who I am.

Sparky: Ah...! So, if I'm understanding correctly: your kinity is who you are, your kardiatype is what builds you, and your heartedness is who you aspire to be, kind of?

Ryuu: yep! Heartedness is a bit of fuzzy area, something important, so connected to you, yet not who you are

Ryuu: That summarize the three pretty succintly in a simple way

This is reasonably representative of the hijinks we get up to in our household.

Auch ohne den Vysor ist der Schrecken eines defekten Smartphonedisplays gar nicht so erdrückend

Es ist mal wieder ein Smartphone-Display endgültig kaputt, nicht mein eigenes und Ersatz für das alte Gerät steht eigentlich sowieso schon bereit, aber an die Daten des nun defekten Geräts möchte die Besitzerin schon noch drankommen. Vor allem die Chatverläufe der Messenger sind hier das übliche Problem und das automatische Backup der Bilder auf das NAS habe ich peinlicherweise auch immer noch nicht eingerichtet. Vysor ist hier leider nicht vorbereitet, das wäre jetzt eine schnelle Lösung gewesen. Aber billige Ersatzdisplay gibt es für das inzwischen recht alte Gerät problemlos zu kaufen, auch ohne Versand aus China und Hängenbleiben beim Zoll. 26 Euro inkl. Versand scheinen mir nicht zu viel als Lösung für das Retten von Daten des Geräts, also bestelle ich ein solches ehrlicherweise explizit als minderwertig beschriebenes Nicht-Originaldisplay. Es liegt sogar das notwendige Werkzeug bei.

Nun hatte ich bei exakt diesem Gerät, als es erst wenige Wochen alt war, bereits das Display getauscht und daher wusste ich, dass das eigentlich recht einfach machbar ist: Nicht nur Apple baut Geräte, die auch von innen ein Genuss sind. Nach der simplen Demontage – die Verklebungen sind vom ersten Display- und einem späteren Akkutausch auch ohne Heißluftgebläse noch angenehm lose – wird mir erst bewusst, dass das neue Display ohne Rahmen kommt. Bei dem Modell gibt es einen schönen Schiebemechanismus für das Display und beim ersten Tausch hatte ich ein Originalteil direkt mit verklebtem Rahmen gekauft, was den Tausch sehr unkompliziert gemacht hat, aber auch kostspielig war. Das war mir jetzt zu teuer und ich habe eben ein LCD- statt AMOLED-Display ohne den Schieberahmen gekauft. Ich muss also das sowieso schon zersplitterte und verklebte Display in Einzelteilen herausbrechen, dabei unschöne Scherben auf meinem Schreibtisch verteilen und stelle dann fest, dass ich mir die gesamte Demontage der Rückseite auch ganz hätte sparen können: Wenn man sowieso die OLED-Schicht und das Displayglas mit Gewalt herausbricht, kommt man auch direkt von vorne an den Flachsteckverbinder für den Anschluss des neuen Displays. Nun denn.

Da ich beim Herauslösen der verklebten Scherben nicht wirklich geduldig war, passt das neue Display nicht sauber in den Rahmen, aber das ist mir in dem Fall egal, ebenso dass die Qualität des LCD-Displays im Vergleich eher erbärmlich ist und der Schiebemechanismus jetzt klemmt, denn ich will ja ohnehin nur einmal an die Daten heran. Also klebe ich es gar nicht erst mit dem mitgelieferten Kleber fest, rette die Daten und lege das geleerte Gerät mit losem Display für sich immer mal wieder ergebende Sondernutzungsszenarien in die Schublade.

Erkenntnis: Ein Displaytausch ist gar nicht so schlimm, aber ein Originalersatzteil mit Rahmen macht einem das Leben deutlich leichter und das Ergebnis besser.

Dark Blue Chatlog (15 Years Later) : Plans

Rasbel: Um.. Can you read this Shine?

Shine: Yeah, why? Cause how I have my hair styled?

Rasbel: Yeah... Sorry, it just looks like you can't see things

Shine: Its fine, since you messaged. Been able to put on your legs yet or still stuck in that wheelchair?

Rasbel: Not yet sadly, still to big for me. How's Vix?

Shine: With his folks, I've got some free time yo.

Rasbel: I think your inner Pearl is starting to come to surface

Shine: Yeah, guess cloning has that effect on squids like me. You free to hang out, getting kinda lonely without havin to tow Vix around.

Rasbel: Are you sure?

Shine: Yeah, beats sitting in my room all day. Plus I don't want to dragged into another shopping trip with Pearl.

Rasbel: She took you shopping before?

Shine: Took is an understatement, more like pulled into shops and made to put on EXTREMELY flashy clothes.

Rasbel: Sounds.....excessive.....

Shine: I just hope Pearl doesn't hear I'm off duty- brb someones at the door

Rasbel: Okay.

-20 minutes later-

Rasbel: Shine? Who was at the door?

Shine: I spoke of the devil and she appeared..... I'm not suffering this alone!!!

Rasbel: Wha-What do you mean, why do I see you and Pearl though the doorbell camera?!?!?!

Going Through It - A Chatlog

The following chatlog is in a format that's a bit weird, so I'm going to post it as a series of images. If you can't read images, find the format a bit cumbersome, or hell, just want to read it in dark mode, a transcript with a simplified format and corrected spelling is available here.

Content warnings: anxiety, panic attacks, discussions of death and self harm.

This text contains deliberate typos and grammatical errors

Happy 2024, let's make this the year of ball hard piss bigly

(tw: suicidal ideation)

[23:30] <Magick> hey what's up, you've been really down lately

[23:33] <JoggingDead> you don't need to worry about me. I just felt shitty about being called cute.

[23:34] <Magick> it's a good thing! c:

[23:37] <JoggingDead> it's not. You call animals and babies cute. I'm practically an adult, it sounds like I'm immature and no one takes me seriously. Why can't I just be normal and be calm like everyone else

[23:39] <Magick> why are you acting like this :c You were fine earlier

[23:40] <JoggingDead> because no one loves me here or where I live. I could die right now and no one would care. I'm tired of talking around it

[23:40] <Magick> I'd care :'(

[23:41] <JoggingDead> bullshit you're going to be like everyone else. You bring up depressing subjects and I have to accept it and go along with it. Sounds swell and helpful /s. I'm tired

[23:42] <Magick> night... :(

~~~~~

[14:30] <JoggingDead> hey, sorry about last night. I wasn't in a good place. Without getting too detailed, a lot of irl crap suffocated me, and I lashed out on you because you're the only one who really talks to me. You didn't deserve that, I know you're my friend. I didn't mean what I said, but I get it if you're mad at me :(

[15:10] <Magick> I forgive you and I'm glad you're feeling better. I know I think about dark stuff too, it's not fun. You don't need to suppress stuff with me if you have a bad day

[15:15] <JoggingDead> more like a bad month haha. But I'm still sorry. I spend so much time being a therapist I forget I need to vent too. I won't to do it again, but just in case it does, you can slap me with a fat smelly fish xD

[15:17] <Magick> sure thing, and I'll bonk you with it when you start hating yourself. And jsyk you ARE cute! :3

[15:17] <JoggingDead> ugh lol

[15:18] <JoggingDead> hey do you want to hear about this scary story I heard about today? It involves a cursed game cartridge that destroys your console and it can never be saved o_o

[15:19] <Magick> :o tell me tell me!

“Squeak squeak!!”

Open Chatlog?

“Oh- hello!! The rattiest thing today? Well, I dug a new tunnel to the kitchen! Food should be easier to get now, all thanks to me!”

Safety Rat grins widely, his two front teeth shining in pride.

PRIVATE(?) TRANSMISSION

PotP: Hello Nine Spiders' Dawn! I have a question for thou.

NSD: dyou really have to start all of our transmissions so dramatically... we talk at least once per cycle, you could just ask the question without introduction...

PotP: That would be boring!

NSD: yeah of course it would... alright, sure! ask away c:

PotP: ...What do you think happened to the rest of our group?

NSD: ...

NSD: is this really the first time youre questioning this?

PotP: Well, no. I have been thinking about it a lot though, and I can't think of anything, so I'm asking you. Probably should have done that earlier.

NSD: mhm... ill be honest. i dont know.

NSD: but our communications with them are cut off, and while i havent tried to fix them, not really, i dont think i could..

NSD: theyre... just not there.

PotP: Yeah. It's incredibly odd. I mean, they can't have just disappeared, right? So something's got to be interfering with the communications within our group, and only our group. It's the only thing that makes sense.

NSD: thats what i thought too.

NSD: but it doesnt make sense either. think about it. who do we know that could have done this? only night falls when day comes and me.

PotP: Night Falls When Day Comes wouldn't do something like that, he's too nice. Neither would you...

NSD: cant believe you think so little of me that you dont even include an explanation for why im free of blame </3 still a suspect after all....

PotP: What- no! That doesn't even make sense!

NSD: i know i know

NSD: but youre right.

NSD: night falls when day comes is our groups senior. but as you mentioned, theyre too kind. desperate to keep us all in touch and for all of us to stay sane, even if they indulge in peace never achieved and passage of flights chaos sometimes.

PotP: As if you didn't wreak havoc as well whenever those two roped you into their plans.

NSD: says you! peace never achieved learned most of her tricks from you!

PotP: I'm so proud of her...

PotP: Peace Never Achieved... I miss her. I miss them all.

NSD: same. same.

NSD: i... honestly, ive never been as close with the other three as i am with you, but it just being us two has never felt right.

PotP: I know what you mean. Night Falls When Day Comes' constant reassurance and support (even if he did duel Peace Never Achieved that one time...), Peace Never Achieved's... everything, Passage of Flight's crazy inventions... you always tried to build those, didn't you?

NSD: tried is a strong word, id say... more like threw together something passable so that ae could improve the design on aer own.

PotP: Soft.

NSD: once again! says you! youd give up your life again for peace never achieved! which is not a light sacrifice, coming from you!

PotP: Hey! To be fair, I'd also do that for you! Night Falls When Day Comes would also give anything up for Peace Never Achieved!

NSD: ...night falls when day comes would give away his very last rarefaction cell (if he were in such a situation) to any one of us if we just asked.

PotP: Oh you're definitely right about that.

PotP: Just brings this right back to the start. I care about those three, just as I care about you. You guys are my family, it doesn't and never will feel right, being separated. Even after all this time.

NSD: ...i cant do anything.

NSD: i dont know what happened, i dont know why this is still happening, i dont know how to fix it.

NSD: were fine though. were fine for now. arent we?

PotP: You're right. We are.

PotP: Maybe one day we'll get to talk to them again.

NSD: yeah... maybe.
