#the oregon trail

[good-to-drive]

SO I managed to get the iconic millennial PC game The Oregon Trail 5 (a la “you have died of dysentery”) working on my laptop, and for obvious reasons* I'm fascinated by both The Beatles and the Donner Party so naturally I've decided to take The Beatles on the Donner Party route. *I'm a big fan of suffering.

They're leaving Independence, Missouri in June 1846 just like the Donner-Reed Party, and are headed for what is now California. John is in charge (I imagine he wouldn't go otherwise) so if/when he dies it's game over.

(btw I don't want to clog up anyone's dashboard so you might want to block the tag 'the beatles oregon trail 5' bc I'll tag everything with that.)

Craigslist is basically The Oregon Trail. Think about it.

So I've been gone cause I've been playing the Switch version of The Oregon Trail

I love this game a lot and honestly idk how to explain what it is about it I like. Random chance, for one. Fishing minigame, managing supplies and also a little bit of an inscryption feel when it comes to the map and such?? Really fun! Also nice to name your party members after characters you like!

(Cheers to Gloria Smicht, Mclooy Rudboys, Izaack Gauss, and Nacha Mikaelys for being the group to make it to Oregon all in one piece and in great states!!🥳🥳)

Dude they all got along so well and both men had the funny trait and both women had the kind trait. Not a single argument had been had (that's a big deal cause no one left)!

GUYS IF YOU HAVE NEVER PLAYED THE OREGON TRAIL GAME I HIGHLY RECOMMEND

So many references to the hit musical by TeamStarkid

So much stuff makes sense now

Also its so so fun

[pointofsingulation]

So I'm playing the Oregon Trail but with Gideon, Harrowhark, Ianthe, Palamedes, and Camilla in the people slots

And Harrowhark is out here catching every disease known to man, but Gideon breaks an arm and then suddenly falls ill and dies???

Just so many GREAT jobs on Craigslist!

So, uh,

I decided to play Oregon Trail and named my party after the Lords In Black

And, uh

The Watcher himself got dysentery.

Comeuppance?

finally posting this incredible screenshot from my last playthrough of the oregon trail

oh you know i just realized why I thought Exorcistic: The Unofficial Rock Musical feels incomplete. A lot of comedy musicals, despite the riffing and or parodying, at some point drop the act and do something sincere ("Not Your Seed" from The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals, the romantic subplot in Peter Pan Goes Wrong, "When The World's at Stake" from The Trail To Oregon, "To Thine Own Self (reprise)" from Something Rotten!, "Amanda's Song" from Saw The Musical).

it never does that, which i guess is fine, but feels incomplete to me since there's usually a moment where the laughs stop and you get a breather. Like that love scene in The Velocipastor. That one's not a musical, but you get it
