more bugginess we encountered. most of what we found was random moments where the game chugged and froze for minutes on end, to the point that the rain was about to start (but it never could)

both of these attached images are other times that we crashed. apparently the spitter spider thing is from super hp bar but. this one room Not loading (forcing a crash) and then this second time where we exited a pipe and a spitter spider turned into a supernova, evaporating spark and making me deconstruct with my nametag out of bounds far from where i was

and the entire time we were . party rockers in th e hous eee tonightt. in the backgrond

ok so like @sparkingcircuits and i are doing randombuff with multiple randomizers (my definition of fun), theyre baby rivulet and im dronemaster. and for whatever reason they have the ability to spit like a spitter spider. when they hit me with it it fills the food pips too

sometimes when they spit i spit instead but the height it comes from does not change. reminds me of that one dropout clip

[alicethepiper]

i am officially unhealthy in body mind and spirit. over this teeny tiny FUCKING MOUSE.

i had a gift card and told myself that the next time re4r was on sale i'd go ahead and get it on steam (i have it on ps4, but lack of modding is a sad time). i'm not even playing the damn game, i'm just stopping every two fucking seconds to take photos.

this was the moment i remembered i'd downloaded the battle suit (literally only maybe twenty minutes had passed from me downloading the mods and booting it up. idk how i forgot, but this picture was a wonderful reminder holy shit).

MOUSHLEY

his REFLECTION i cant

leon bumped into a wall (i bumped him into a wall) and his reaction reminded me of that one photo of re2r leon leaning up against a wall and then some dude mirroring him on the other half of the photo he lOOKS SO DRAMATIC

more dramatics (king)

i teabagged the floor to see his hair move

good cop, bad cop. which is which?

IT SHOWS UP IN THE SHADOW. AHHHHH.

also i am not a keyboard and mouse (moushley) girl. whoever said keebee and mouse is the way to go, i don't know if agree. im gonna keep on trying because i think in the end it might be better, but i crave the comfort my controller provides me. this shit is way scarier when the controls feel foreign (and it doesnt help that im gawking at leon's attire). anyways. moushley is ratatouille.

Mods I used (i used a lot but these two are the only ones that show up in the photos lol): cathroon's Moushley Graham - Ratatouille Mod and TrieuPham's Battle Suit Leon

(thank you mod authors! i get such a kick out of these costumes and taking photos are so fun. i hope your pillow stays cool and your dryer never eats your socks)

Sora Aguilar is one of the main character of my au. A sweet, gentle, and kindhearted young man filled with curiosity, who would do anything for the sake of his friends and family, even if it means sacrificing his own needs and wants.

He is Rowena’s younger half-brother, Gabriela’s and Shino’s only son, Natalia’s grandson, and Noelia’s nephew.

He’s a close friend to the scraps and a mom-friend who cherishes his own group dearly. He is also Stone’s childhood best friend/sweetheart.

He and his puppy (Kip) lived happily (???) in their mansion, until they wake up one night inside a big bag that was left on the streets of ramshackle.

[onestepbackwards]

self aware pkmn idea where the player could essentially transfer the pla characters (coding, modding, all that fancy shmancy stuff) and just watch as People Who Would Be A 1,000 Year Old In Today's Standards hold onto the current day grasps and moralities like a infant that just learnt how to walk. i put volo in the dppt era and on one hand he's like "oh glorious god! thank you for blessing me by showing me the future of my region!" and on the other he's like "what is going on and why do i feel like im gonna faint soon"

You put him in modern Sinnoh and he sees a 14 year old with another god chilling in their pocket. The teen and the god are best friends. This teen also saved the world and went into another dimension.

He's a fast learner, but you also do have to take time to explain to him how different things are. From pokemon being humanity's friend, to just different types of tech, and the different Gyms.

You take him to Gear Station and he almost passes out, not even from possibly seeing Ingo or Emmet, just from the trains alone. He's fascinated and a bit overwhelmed. Especially with how loud it is.

[tales-from-syscord]

i joined a really popular syscord and 3 days in i got accused of being racist by the owner so i left.

the context: the chat was all talking about our hair and hairdye, and someone popped in asking a question about their locs and stating that they were black. that spawns a b-convo where everyone is sharing their racial/ethnic backgrounds, and i mention my own (not white but white passing). its a really casual conversation and half of chat is still talking about hair.

well the person who asked about their locs goes, out of nowhere, "no offense to white-passers but some of us arent. so like." like ok? and like 3 people reply to this (including me) being like "huh?" and they refuse to explain, instead getting more and more antagonistic and accusing others in the chat of being colourist. the rest of chat is confused and several people are asking why they wont just explain what their message was about, and eventually the mods time out everyone in the conversation EXCEPT the person who started the damn issue, they get made a helper.

i and another person got warnings for "being actively antagonistic"

well whatever, i was willing to just let it go because maybe the mods got things mixed up, i liked the server so i wasnt gonna leave over it. until a whole whopping 20 minutes later when im in a different channel lurking while 2 systems discuss the concept of front triggers. one system straight-up tells the other "no, thats not how DID works, xyz thing cant trigger you to front." so i jump in and say "who are you to decide someone else's triggers?" and this guy blows tf up at me, telling me to "cry about it" and "open a ticket if youre mad."

then the owner shows and times me out for 24hrs. im beyond pissed at this point because i feel like im being attacked in every conversation i participate in, but i was NOT expecting what came next. both the owner and the antagonist from the previous conversation OUTRIGHT TOLD THE CHAT I WAS "BEING COLOURIST" EARLIER WHILE I WAS TIMED OUT AND COULDNT DEFEND MYSELF.

if i hadnt been timed out i couldve sent the screenshots of the entire conversation that had only gone down maybe 20 minutes prior, and in fact i DID send those screenshots to some friends in dms who saw the owner call me colourist. i never said a bad word to that person, i just kept asking what they were mad about and they kept refusing to explain, saying shit like "LET ME SPEAK" as if anyone could possibly stop them from typing and sending their message.

but yeah, i left that server. fuck that shit.

oh god that sounds horrible

(sidenote: why did you use the world colourist instead of racist? I haven't seen it used before, so I'm wondering if it's new terminology or? /genq)

[whumpsday]

my unhinged rant about the whumptober discourse, below the readmore for the benefit of ppl who dont wanna see that crap. im just gonna go insane if i don't say this somewhere bc i feel like i'm losing my mind

this drama is genuinely so mind-blowingly stupid it's unreal, and it's been bothering me so much that i just HAVE to talk about it or i'm gonna go insane, if for no other reason than to get it out of my system. i honestly never expected the whump community to go on the kind of bad-faith tirade that's taking place.

disclaimer right here that i do not support AI scraping creative works without permission (like chatgpt and a whole host of AI art programs do) or these AI-generated works being passed off as legitimate creative works. obviously that stuff is bad, and literally everyone on all sides of this agrees it's bad. i used chatgpt exactly once one week after it came out, before i knew how shit it was, and haven't touched AI stuff since. because it steals from creators and it sucks.

now:

saying "whumptober supports/allows AI" when their official policy says plain as day:

"we are not changing our stance from last year’s decision"

"we will not amplify or include AI works in our reblogs of the event."

"we discourage the use of AI within Whumptober, it feels like cheating, and we feel like it isn’t in the spirit of the event."

is bonkers! whumptober is a prompt list, there is nothing TO the event other than being included in the reblogs. they literally cannot stop people from doing whatever they want with the prompts.

someone could go out and enact every single prompt in real life on a creativity-fueled serial killing spree and the whumptober mods couldn't do shit about it. it's not like it's a contest you submit to. it's a prompt list! someone could take every single prompt from the AI-less whumptober prompt list, feed it into chatgpt right now, and post them as entries. and the mods of THAT wouldn't be able to stop them either. because it's a prompt list.

the AI-less event have also made just... blatantly false claims, like that grammarly isn't AI. grammarly IS AI and they openly advertise this. hell, this is grammarly's front page right now:

and this is a statement from grammarly about how its products work:

its spellchecker / grammarchecker is AI-based! claiming it's not AI is just... lying. saying "this is an AI-less event" and then just saying any AI that you want to include doesn't count as AI is ludicrous.

and you know what? whumptober actually pointed this out. they said they don't want to ban AI-based assistive tools (like grammarly) for accessibility reasons. this post has several great points:

"AI is used for the predictive text and spellchecker that's running while I type this reply."

"Accessibility tools rely on AI." this is true and here's an article about it, though the article is a little too pro-AI in general for my tastes, there's nuances to this stuff. it's used for captioning, translation, image identification, and more. not usually the same kind of AI that's used for stuff like chatgpt. THERE ARE DIFFERENT KINDS!

"But we can't stop that, nor can we undo damage already done, and banning AI use (especially since we can't enforce it) is an empty stand on a hill that's already burning, at least in our view of things."

and people were UP IN ARMS over this post! their notes were full of hate, even though it's all true! just straight lying and saying that predictive text isn't AI (it is), that AI isn't used for accessibility tools (it is), that whumptober can somehow enforce an anti-AI policy (they can't because it's a prompt list).

in effect, both whumptobers have the EXACT SAME AI POLICY. neither allows AI-generated works, but both allow AI-based assistive tools like grammarly. everyone involved here is ON THE SAME SIDE, they all have the exact same opinion on how AI should be applied to events like this, and somehow they're arguing???

not to mention that no other whump event has ever had an AI policy. febuwhump, WIJ, bad things happen bingo, hell even nanowrimo doesn't have one.

and you wanna know the most ridiculous part of this entire thing? which is also the reason why none of the above events have an AI policy.

no one is doing this. no one is out there feeding whumptober prompts to chatgpt and posting them as fills for whumptober cred. it's literally a hypothetical, made-up issue. all of this infighting over a problem that DOESN'T EXIST.

to the point that people are brigading the whumptober server with shit like this:

saying "everyone who participates in whumptober is a traitor, you should go participate in this other event with the exact same AI policy but more moral grandstanding about it" is silly. every single bit of this drama is silly.

in the end, please just be nice to people. we're ALL against the kind of AI that steals from creators. the whumptober mods are against AI, the AILWT mods are against AI, whumptober participants are against AI, AILWT participants are against AI. there is no mythical person out here trying to pass chatgpt work off as whumpfic. let's all just be civil with each other over this, yeah?

[anonymous-eggy]

hii sorry to ask this on anon but i've only had bad experiences with discord servers before (+ anxiety) buut i'm really curious and excited about the touchstarved's server. can i know what do yall do there? 🥹👉👈 if you decide to reply, thank you sm <3

absolutely no worries ab asking on anon! i get it!

We most hang out and have fun and vibe! right now we're working on secret santa for eachother (the deadline to sign up has sadly passed), but we plan on regularly doing fun events you can choose to participate in if you want to!

We're all there to have fun, but if someone is being rude to you and isnt following the rules let me and the other mods know.

it's super low pressure. you could join, select roles, post an intro, and then lurk until you're ready to talk! we'll never force you to talk, even if you're lurking on voice chat and muted. im gonna be so honest, the touchstarved server has got to be one of the best, most chill servers ive ever joined. so if you're considering joining, i say do it! and if you dont like it, then you tried!
