Vampire Fidds, hoping he doesn't sound suspicious: Say, Stanley?

Werewolf Stan, fiddling with the cash box: *Grunts* What's up, Cowboy?

Vampire Fidds: Y'know how dogs can be... well... locked together... after they, um... engage in coitus?

Werewolf Stan, half paying attention: Yea?

Vampire Fidds: Well, I was just'a wonderin'... does that... do you do... that?

Werewolf Stan: *Pauses for a Moment Before Smirking* You tryin' to get freaky on me, Fiddlesticks?

Vampire Fidds, blushing heavily: NO! O' course not! I-I was just, well, I... I was readin' about wolf behavior and anatomy and got... curious. Ya know, with me bein' a scientist I just thought it'd be worthwhile t' make an inquiry on tha subject is all.

Werewolf Stan: Y'know, I wouldn't be opposed to helping you find out.

Vampire Fidds: Y-you wouldn't?

Werewolf Stan: Nope. In all honesty, I don't even know. All I really know is that I'm huge now.

Vampire Fidds: *Quietly* Lord, forgive me for my sinful thoughts.

Werewolf Stan: Wazzat?

Vampire Fidds: NOTHIN'! Just- Follow me!

Werewolf Stan: Whatever you say... *Lowers His Voice* Cowboy~

Vampire Fidds: You are gonna be the metaphorical death o' me, Stanley Pines.

hmm something im wondering a little about-- how high is the overlap between the hermitcraft/traffic/empires fandoms? so out of curiosity, how about this:

(*regarding the hermitcraft/empires crossover, if you watched the crossover but don't keep up with the other series outside of it, then please pick the option for the series you 'main' ! )

Watching UniqueGeese reacting to the Game Theory video on Indigo Park was interesting, especially how much the video got wrong about the reasons Rambley would be evil.

Number one: We have zero evidence Rambley resented Molly and Finley, as the video claimed.

In fact, the source of the biggest piece of “evidence” for Rambley’s “motivation” of wanting to be the only park star blatantly contradicts said “motivation.”

When the player shows the information kiosk the Retro Lloyd plush, we get a rant from Rambley:

“Ugh... I don't get why we even have those. And why did they only make one of LLOYD? Is it because he's the loudest? I CAN BE LOUD TOO! WHERE'S MY LIMITED-EDITION THROWBACK PLUSH?!…”

Interestingly, during this rant Rambley has a lot of visual and audio glitches.

If one tracks the appearance of these glitches through Chapter 1, there is a pattern…

They occur when Rambley appears to be overwriting the existing “script.”

Details supporting that exceed this post, but that hypothesis suggests Rambley is really going “off script” here.

“On script” Rambley isn’t supposed to resent Lloyd this much; we’re experiencing (our) Rambley’s personal feelings about the lion and his popularity.

Wouldn’t that support the idea that Rambley wanted to destroy the other mascots and get all the attention?

No.

Because that’s not all Rambley’s angry about.

“…WHERE'S MY LIMITED-EDITION THROWBACK PLUSH?! WHERE'S MOLLIE'S? WHERE'S FINLEY'S? Give this mistake to a child and they'll cry.”

Rambley’s not angry Lloyd’s getting attention and he’s not.

He’s angry that Llyod’s getting attention at the expense of him and his friends.

If Rambley was a glory hound, he should have been egotistical about the special edition Gold Rambley plush.

Instead?

“Wow, is that a gold limited edition Rambley Plush?! Parents were fighting tooth and nail for those things when they came out! Seriously, our employees had to clean up SO many stray teeth and nails. Hard to believe that there was all this demand for a regular Rambley Plush we blasted with gold spray paint."

He’s bemused at the attention the plush garnered; indeed, he appears to have a mild cynicism about the frenzy “corporation” stirred the public up over cheap merch.

It’s interesting Rambley doesn’t glitch during this section, or when he is equally snarky about the Rambley Cup - this suggests Rambley’s core programming matches these comments.

Rambley the Raccoon - the character - doesn’t care about merch or financial things.

Whatever resentment Rambley has against Lloyd (and there is no argument about that!) it seems completely out of character for a program that gushes about his friend Molly’s “talent” at building - and crashing! - airplanes and is eager to have the player make friends with Finley and his “good heart” to want to hurt Molly and Finley to achieve…. being king of a dead kingdom??

If Jey participated in the world duel carnival he’d be such a menace

LOLLL

I don’t even know WHAT he’d do, in specifics, but anon u right he would menace.

But I do know that for each wrong committed, there’d be something else made right.

And vise versa lolol always the balance~

He said the word “reputation” rolling his eyes a little, as if the concept of caring about what others thought was the dumbest thing since homeopathic antibiotics.

Sometimes I hate Minecraft.

If you know what problem I was having based off of this picture, but also believe this is how the game should work, you have a vitamin D deficiency, and also I hope that when you're burning in hell, Satan punishes you with the frustrated screams of all the novice Minecraft players that gave up ever trying to figure out redstone because they were too busy having a life to ever learn what "quasi connectivity" is, making it impossible for them to know why their logically built contraption isn't working.

BTW, my problem was the piston being extended despite not being directly powered. This is how I fixed it:

In case you're confused about what changes actually solved the problem, here's what you're missing: I had to move the topmost redstone line over so it'd stop powering the air above the piston.

Yes; All you normal Minecraft players read that correctly. The piston. Was being powered. By air.

And! There are people that would lose their minds if Mojang ever considered fixing- oh I'm sorry, changing it to work more intuitively. I mean, it's only like this because of a bug that treated certain blocks as if they were doors, and it's only still in the game because a bunch of pasty grown men whined that if it was changed then it'd break their ludicrously overcomplicated builds, but... whatever. Shut-ins screech more loudly than children I guess.

[bigthingsforeverintheworks]

socializing is so hard I'm like "yeah i finally got my depression done with forever (for real this time" and then I am in an environment with people and it's like "fuck how do I act i don't have the knowledge of the things should I be listening should I be looking I mean how do like verbal conversations work like they're clearly not oriented towards a goal in the same way emails are but they also just like don't have the same sort of "just kinda say things" that the internet has ok that's not fair I have held conversations, even if the initiation differs which is a big part of it but there is something different obviously like the expectation of latency & just basic woah you can't see them bit but also like it feels less direct. Oh and then now you have to deal with timing like 100x as often idk i think at the third time it's just time to give up. Though ok I mean I'm not incapable of verbal speech I can give answers in english class also why is my head burning and i mean i don't think my hands should be there do people care about that also i can't fathom the depravity of how i look"

For the 2024 reads in review asks (if you’re still doing them): 1, 15, 17, 25!

1. Faves of the year

The Imperial Radch series by Ann Leckie, Exordia by Seth Dickinson, the Teixcalaan series by Arkady Martine (can you tell I like sci-fi lol)

15. Biggest disappointment?

Probably Camp Damascus. I didn't dislike it per se but I did not enjoy it nearly as much as I'd hoped. Probably just overhyped it in my own head and expected big impact vs a fun read.

17. New author (either to you, or with a recent debut) you're hoping to read more of?

Finally got around to reading Martha Wells and I really enjoy her style! I read All Systems Red and started Witch King, and plan on reading some more Murderbot this year.

25. What's on the top of your list for 2025?

First read of 2025 and very excited for it; The Way of Kings. I got multiple recs for The Stormlight Archive series (thanks @winterstaryu and @bluesunlight12!) and I have to admit they got me. I've just started it and yeah, yeah, I'm loving it.

I also like to have a standalone and/or easier read while I'm tackling a big book or series (of which I'd say that qualifies lol) and Clover got me A Stitch In Time so once we finish DS9 I'm gonna listen to that soon :]

Y'all remember that long ass essay I wrote about Blaze in which I watched all of MyStreet but only the scenes he's in to prove that while he started great, the writers ultimately fell off so hard in writing him it stopped being funny and started pissing me off?

I think I might've found the MCD character I could do that with
