You know what pisses me off most about Blaseball
They didn't even have to up the ante that much, if they gave us just the same bog standard blaseball play for like, 4 months at a time, and Big Votes happened after that, we'd have eaten it up and it wouldn't even have been that difficult on them. We were not in it for the Crazy Shenanigans we just like. Wanted to bet on some games and see who got incinerated. Fuckin, sim16 and shit were wildly popular because we didn't give a shit about Peanuts and Gods and all of that shit. It was fun, yeah, and the lore stuff was neat, but like.
We just wanted to watch some blaseball.

taking this as a challenge. speculation/possible spoilers below
1. bones to ohio (anyone else)
2. what have we done
3. empty stadiums
4. [no clue]
5. two week world
closest i could find for 4 was “black hole rising”, which is one letter too long? “we’ll suck forever” is two letters. idk anymore
it could also be curse of crows if you spelled it like “curse offf crows” <- girl who really likes that song

i think blaseball ruined my perception of what a pun is if its sports related someone just sent a photo of some softball (?) players to a groupchat im in like WHY ARE THEY IN A CAGE and i immediately said "got caught stealing" because i mean its right there and the feedback is that this was an A+ joke (high praise from them). like. what? that was nothing?

So, I saw some of you talking about how Blaseball is now impossible to get into because the game/experience/cultural event is gone.
May I introduce: the Spies Debriefings
(specifically, the Spies Debriefings starting from February 2021, when I started running things)
(or you can check out the Greatest Hits if you don't want to backread a whole entire blog)
The Debriefings are/were a daily liveblog of Blaseball. Under the pen name Agent O, I was their head writer and editor starting at Season 12/February 2021. Originally starting in season 6 it was a simple daily recap - but from the end of the Grand Siesta onwards I helped document not just the game events, but also the way the fandom was responding to it. I have been told this is basically a Let's Play: Blaseball, and I even mostly agree.
It doesn't replace the live experience, obviously. It is written from the perspective of one team. And in hindsight, there were some significant inaccuracies. But it was written as a way to make sure that people could follow the game without having to be glued to Discord 24/7, and in so doing, it also became a record of the fandom experience in a way nothing else will ever be.

a lil confession from a guy who used to like blaseball. going to preface with i absolutely loved it, the culture, the community, the characters and setting and all. i made art, wrote fics, bought the albums. but as someone who wasnt usamerican, who lived on the opposite side of the world in fact, i always felt a little left behind. joining late contributed to the feeling of lockout, timezone mismatch meant that i slept through events like voting, and the finale.
and… the communal character building. sometimes i felt like i had to force myself to use a usa-centric lens to see what everyone else saw. the deicide jokes were funny, but not when my actual rl faith started being teased and challenged as well.
i think i'll still always keep a shard of blaseball near and dear to my heart. the good parts of it really were amazing. but sometimes when i see people say they miss it, i think, i wish i could miss it as fiercely as you guys do too.
hey, i wanna say thank you for sharing this with me. i think it's an important perspective to put out there. i debated on whether i wanted to maintag it since i don't have a way to reach out and ask if it's okay to do so, but i really think other people should see it. (you can always send me another message if you want me to delete it and i will do so asap)
blaseball, as a game and as a community, was wonderful and overall a net positive, but it was by no means perfect. it had its flaws like any other community, in this case driven by the fact that its active fanbase was largely white and centered in the united states. there were a lot of people who felt ostracized by a community that was supposed to be welcoming to everyone - and whether it was people not knowing how to keep a bit contained to the circumstances of its universe or shutting down discussions about problems in character writing, there were people who got hurt. we cannot and should not pretend that never happened.
and of course, as you mentioned, the game was designed in a way that mostly centered the united states. i think there were attempts to fix this during coronation with planned events at different times, but we never got to see that play out. hell, you could even see it in which locations got to be represented by teams. i'm not personally sure how i feel about the fact that a lot of the teams that were represented outside of the us were prehistory teams. it feels like they took a step in trying, but those are all teams that wouldn't ever see active play, so it rang a little hollow to me.
at least from my perspective, it seemed like there were dialogues happening about this and that there was progress being made to fix those issues, but then the game ended and we didn't get to see anything come out of it. i really don't want to see that all be for nothing. i hope that everyone who learned something from this community will take those lessons and apply them to how they interact with other communities.
thank you again. i am truly sorry we didn't get to have the same experience.

was clearing out my phone's gallery and once again realized how much art i never posted here, so here's a stijn strongbody!
[ID: a digital line drawing of Stijn Strongbody, a middle aged Japanese man with four sheep's horns, and, barely visible before the canvas cuts off, four arms. he holds a pencil in one hand as he looks off to one side with a good-natured, contemplative expression.]

I decided I want to get into hockey but have zero idea how. Is there a side of tumblr for hockey fans? I decided I like the kraken specifically for their silly little mascot. Do people live post about games? Do y’all have inside jokes and make silly memes? Is there chronically online hockey fans that welcome people who don’t really know anything but just want to be involved in something? There’s a blaseball shaped hole in my heart and I’m filling it with real sports
