thoughts so far, in mostly no particular order:

observation = investigating things, exploring, learning how things work, etc

maintenance = doing Work of some kind; building things, doing chores, medical attention, etc

events = Shit What Happens, either without your input or because you kicked it off on purpose, and now you have to deal with it.

altogether these are called 'happenings,' and along with actions they make up the basic structure of the game.

observation, maintenance, and events are your 3 stats, which make it easier or harder to deal with each type of happening.

observation and maintenance will probably end up with different names, events might also as well.

each day you can use actions do or handle a certain amount of these things, depending on either number or magnitude. you could use 3 actions out of your day to do 1 major maintenance task or 3 minor maintenance tasks, for example.

as mentioned there are bigger and smaller happenings, which might take up more or less of your time to handle.

there are some daily happenings you can't control, at least not right away, whether they're random or something you have to keep doing. you can establish ways to deal with them more easily, or reduce/eliminate needing to worry about them at all, but if you let something pass without taking care of it there might be consequences.

possibly there are some happenings that might have consequences if you don't leave them alone, at least unless you're prepared.

if you have action slots left over after taking care of other happenings (or not taking care of them), you can use that time and effort to pursue other things, like increasing your stats, or building aforementioned infrastructure, or pursuing subplots or other projects.

speaking of which: if you want, you can play with subplots and/or an overarching plot to pursue as a win condition. (i am unsure as of yet how i'll go about generating these.) otherwise you can just play indefinitely.

some days there won't be any extra happenings beyond routine things you were going to need to take care of anyway; these are good days to do as mentioned in the previous two points.

even if you establish infrastructure to make some things more convenient, you'll probably still need to put in some kind of effort to maintain them or there will be consequences. (needing to spend a happening on maintaining a machine once a week, for example.)

you can go over your allotted limit of action slots on a given day--your action slots, not assistance from infrastructure--but you'll be missing that many slots the next day until you regain each one by resting. if you try to do this more than once in a row you'll start needing to pass checks to do it successfully, and once you're missing the same number of personal actions as your daily limit or higher you will start having to make checks to avoid larger consequences.

(collapsing completely until you've rested enough to restore all your slots, accidentally damaging infrastructure, taking penalties that you'll have to successfully use side projects to fix, etc)

(avoid pushing it if you can, is what i'm saying.)

you can overclock infrastructure this way too, but you're more likely to need to spend actions to fix it instead of just giving it time to recover like you would yourself.

every now and then a day might be eventful enough to require you to go over your daily action limit anyway. how often this occurs and how over-busy a day can be is up to you, depending on the difficulty level you want to play with, and may also change depending on how things go in your game.

a happening can be more than one type at once. for example, something that requires a medium amount of Maintenance might also require a minor amount of Observation. it's possible in some cases to eliminate one of these or reduce its level of difficulty; for example, you might be able to integrate the Observation into the process of Maintenance so smoothly that you don't have to spend the minor action on that task, and can do something else with it.

thoughts about generating, exploring, and discovering different areas in your locale of choice, not sure yet how that will proceed.

possibly there are some happenings that will give you reason to explore new areas, or make you aware of them at all, like a meteor falling somewhere you haven't been yet.

possibly some happenings that occur in unexplored areas will still have consequences if you don't explore the new area to take care of them, like you would other happenings.

possibly happenings in general being associated with specific areas, including the entire locale.

possibly extra category of actions for Travel between more distant areas?

some happenings might have a time limit beyond the one day?

still deciding how to generate things like NPCs showing up, but that's probably another thing you can choose to adjust the chances for depending on how you're playing a run.

other things you can adjust include things like the ratio of observation to maintenance to events, how often things happen in a day at all that you don't pursue yourself, how much routine stuff you need to build infrastructure for, etc

will probably be designed just for dice instead of the original game's playing card system, if only because playing card-based games can be a bit limiting and also i am disabled in such a way that i can't feasibly use them 😔

game is meant to be played solo, but i'm pretty sure it'll end up being adjustable for multiplayer with or without a DM.

i am excited about this one tbh, More to Be Added as It Occurs to Me

so i decided to check out The Lighthouse at the Edge of the Universe after seeing it mentioned it around a few times, and a) it's Pretty Neat! b) because i am me it immediately gave me Ideas for hacks/tools/some possible refinement of an original system i've been rotating for a while. hell yeah

El being *12 hours earlier* than the Cali timeline when she arrives at Nina. Will saying ‘it’s been 9 hrs’ in the scene following his monologue in the van.

We know that at some point their timelines merged when they arrived to save her…

But we don’t know when exactly those alignments took place when they were still apart… which just makes you wonder…

rook x lucanis: romance with a commentary track! solas and spite contribute with their thoughts and opinions along the way whether anyone wants them to or not. it's like a MST3K episode up in here as you try to get hot and heavy. in. in the pantry. love among the radishes at the end of the world (rifftrax version)

SHADAR KAI

VS DROW

First, Shadar Kai! They're former elves of the shadowfell, though now some half-living offshoot. Normal human height. They can see in the dark and teleport, turning all ghostly when they do so. This is the player kind, so don't have to deal with the depression aura of the monster manual version! And...that's all we learn of the PC version, so for once I'm actually glad for the MPMM's hatred for detail.

The average drow is a 5 foot (1.5 m) cursed elf that's cartoonishly evil to the point of parody. That's not actually innate, their goddess just personally has the good ones killed and tries to manipulate/torment them to be even more evil. So there are actually nice ones, I mean they used Drizzt as thier only example photo, but most drow that survive to adulthood are going to be sadistic and dominant. Primed and ready if you're into manipulation and being used! Or someone with a hell of a lot of trauma.

I'm figuring out how to make these look...decent, because some of these have too many artworks with background for me to comfortably do my usual basic photo editing.

naruto crack au where kakashi manages to successfully drill the "never abandon your comrades" thing into team seven's heads

so when sasuke deserts naruto and sakura immediately desert with him. like he gets to the village gates and they're just waiting for him bags packed like "what took u so long we doing this or what"

he tries to get them to go back bc of course he does. "no you losers this is about me i'm going to kill my brother. also i'll have to kill my best friend for the super sharingan and you two are like the only people i talk to". but they do not listen. teamwork sasuke we will defeat your brother (OUR brother #communism) with the power of teamwork. just like kakashi-sensei said

suddenly orochimaru has to deal with three horrible little goblins with an even more codependent relationship than his old team

Right and his work menaces (Brent and Karen).

I don't remember last I mentioned it but apart from crude nicknames to people (except Chris), he also just puts them in his phone really weird (except Chris, who is literally in his phone as Chris). And I bring this up because in Right's phone, Karen is saved as "Lawful Obligation".

what is the origin of "milkvan", is it just a bastardised mike/eleven combo or is there lore concerning milk ??

THIS MADE ME CHUCKLE OH I LOVE THIS FANDOM SPACE AHSHSHSHHD

it’s nothing to do with milk i promise u i-

basically it’s a funny way of censoring m*leven, rather than using an asterisk, and it happens to be the most popular one:

other ones include:

millipede

milswuansca??? (i don’t remember)

and i have seen someone use mitochondria but milkvan is arguably the best one babe

Nathaniel Benedict/Ledroptha Curtain (TMBS) and Count Olaf (ASOUE) are proof that mentally unstable former theater kids with sad backstories make the most entertaining villains, especially when their main adversaries are genius children they lose to every episode. And one of them is canonically a literal toddler/baby.
