Hey Semi, have you already heard of "Welcome Home"? It's a website of a fictional puppet show from the 70's. Very colourful (and kinda creepy when you dig in).

Buuut It has cute charactes designs

(Wally's my fauvorite, that fruity televangelist-vibed twink✝️✨)

Maybe you could check this out?

ok so i went and read pretty much everything on the website

and i am intrigued. :)

the character designs are lovely, the writing is super committed to the bit, and as a concept it's fantastic. i love analog-style horror when it's done well, and welcome home is hitting all the bases. like, just spooky enough to let you know something's off without pushing it too hard.

im excited to see where it goes

Was thinking about how much of a normo I come across as irl, how I’ve felt a lil odd person out at their shows bc of being a bit older (29) and looking so aggressively normal, how generally confused people in my life would be if they knew about my d&p obsession, how thoroughly i mask weirder traits and essentially codeswitch to suit the mainstream, etc.

i feel kind of fish out of water when I imagine how all the people that populate my tumblr phandom ecosystem are likely presenting to the world irl (I.e. more visibly queer, counterculture, and so on). But then I think maybe the most visible phannies are the ones with the most curated, alt, deliberate daytoday lewks/style? So maybe what I’m picturing is off base? But then I’m also basing this off of what audiences look like in audience footage, m&gs, etc.

Sooooooo i would like to know… do you guys feel like you present as someone who may be Deeply Online and obsessed with two gay nerds from the internet? Or do you hide it and fly under the radar, masking as a total normy and living a double life?

(To clarify I don’t mean you’re like out and about wearing the fringes boob sweatshirt lol I more mean vibes and overall lewk yk?)

I like the concept of Pumpkin Spice far more than the reality of it.

Like I love fall, I like the warm colors and the aesthetic, I even sometimes like the smell of it. And the combination of these things leads me to crave pumpkin spice things, so I buy them

Only to realize as I'm trying to swallow that I do not, in fact, like pumpkin flavor very much

Just read through it all and yep Golden Cheese Kingdom is the best story in CRK

went to a goth market and a circus yesterday for 420.

[grimdot]

apparently nobody noticed but this account got termed ~3 days after being created & it stayed that way for 3 days more which led me to believe i was permanently gone from this website & i have since rewired my brain as such. so now that i unexpectedly have my account back i'm like. but what if i don't want to post anymore. what if i simply do not want to make posts. anymore.

it really annoyed me that i couldn't find a hardcover copy of the david coward translation so i did what any sane and normal person would do and decided to rebind it myself

I just beat Hi Fi Rush. How is it that the year just started and we already have a game of the year contender?

If you haven’t played it, please do. I cannot reccomend it enough.

[vaugarde]

yeah i know “sprite work looks better than most 3d models” isn’t a hot take but like maaaan, the kirby art style peaked in the ds era and i miss it

Throw back to the time I told my mom multiple times a day for like a month that “basic white girl” was my culture and I should embrace it and then proceeded to down a whole venti cup of espresso flavored sugar monstrosity and cackle like a witch.

i didn’t get very far in usum yet bc of all the hassle i experienced just getting the game to run but i still have those familiar mixed feelings on it. the graphics are neat with the right filters, the UI’s lovely as all hell, and sure the story does get a bit overbearing when it wants to but there’s still a feeling to these games that keeps bringing me back, at least for melemele island if nothing else

like there’s plenty to appreciate here. the cutscenes where the characters don’t just stand there performing default animations are nice, pokemon refresh is just about the streamlining amie needed, and the concept of regional variants is kinda fun. but the handholding, oh the handholding, whatever happened to the chaos of being a 10 y/o who forcefully barges their way out of town and almost gets mauled by rats before the adults give them a pokemon to go haywire with? the world-ending evil organizations that are thwarted by that same kid who also somehow captured a god? scouring your way through the wilderness with the power of your own pokemon? the pokerides do eliminate the problem of HM slaves sure, but they make the whole adventure seem less like an adventure and more like taking the bus downtown to go shopping. and the ride gear does not help the cause whatsoever

alola has good concepts, hell i don’t even mind the trials they’re fine for the most part. but i feel like it started this trend where you’re no longer exploring the world of pokemon and discovering creatures and going to uncharted locations full of mysteries, you’re just... walking across the neighborhood, politely obeying the street signs. even kalos felt more untamed, and that region came with the biggest city pokemon had ever seen to date. i don’t mind the attempt at making the world feel more lived-in or featuring up-to-date technology, but there are too many concrete roads and too many comfortable street signs and metal fences that keep the wild pokemon at bay. and too much goddamn safety gear i cannot emphasize how much that breaks the illusion of any adventure you could be having here

i’ll have to play more to really hone these thoughts, this is just first impressions mixed with my previous opinions on the games and the region in general. im hoping to gain a new appreciation for all this now that time’s passed and we’ve experienced the linearity of galar and the region where you clip through the floor or whatever it’s called
