Is This Something. Is It Anything At This Point

(crawls on all fours with blood drenched on me) I have to do arts and crafts

holy fuck i just realized it’s eighty degrees out no wonder i feel like im melting. jorts were a good decision today it’s seems

Player instinct.

WOAAHHHHHHH

i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.

there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.

anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.

A Better World - create an alternate history timeline

Alter Ego - abandonware birth-to-death life simulator game

Seedship - text-based game about colonizing a new planet

Sandboxels or ThisIsSand - free-falling sand physics games

Little Alchemy 2 - combine various elements to make new ones

Infinite Craft - kind of the same as Little Alchemy

ZenGM - simulate sports

Tamajoji - browser-based tamagotchi

IFDB - interactive fiction database (text adventure games)

Written Realms - more text adventure games with a user interface

The Cafe & Diner - mystery game

The New Campaign Trail - US presidential campaign game

Money Simulator - simulate financial decisions

Genesis - text-based adventure/fantasy game

Level 13 - text-based science fiction adventure game

Miniconomy - player driven economy game

Checkbox Olympics - games involving clicking checkboxes

BrantSteele.net - game show and Hunger Games simulators

Murder Games - fight to the death simulator by Orteil

Cookie Clicker - different but felt weird not including it. by Orteil.

if you're ever thinking about making a niche project that only a select number of individuals will be nerdy enough to enjoy, keep in mind i've been playing some of these games off and on for 20~ years (Alter Ego, for example). quite literally a lifetime of replayability.

there are only two genders btw. people who are alive and people who are fucking dead

I was compelled by some sort of curse maybe to do nothing but make this for the past day and a half.

@reliqvia tagging op because it wouldn't let me put videos in the reblog

THE REALLY COOL SLED!!!!!!

my headcanon for why it keeps changing size is that the bottom bits, being pipes, are pretty easily interchangeable with random scrap. depending on how many people need to fit, this thing just gets cobbled together with random shit. the weight Does Not matter Troy is absolutely insane.

OH MY GOD I FOUND IT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR AGES

I like them lots💚

hey❗️grabs you like pencil. the sleepwalkers are bloody sick ❗️

I gotta ask, what can they do? and do they ever waltz over to the moon seeing as they think it's god or?

They weave dreams and nightmares by like creating this thread that they each control and that latches onto people. They can individually control a persons sleep too but that requires a lot more effort and they don’t have time to do that every night so they’ve kind of mastered a sort of mass production of it though it is more overwhelming like this. They can also give each other sleep and dreams! (Mostly this is used by Reverie on Mara per her request). They can fly, mostly dissipate into stardust, make basic things out of their stardust. Probably a lot more too (gods) but they’re like mentally blocking the rest and think they’re angels. So.

As for if they if go to the moon, yes! (It’s like the big thing in the plot actually lol) In a moment of desperation they do in fact fly up to the moon, thinking surely she’ll answer their prayers then. Obviously, the moon doesn’t and their faith (especially Reverie’s) is really shaken after that.
