It’s either “listen for where the enemy! They make a very quiet breathing sound on the right or left :)” or “hear that loud thunking of their footsteps? You can use that to determine where they are in a building!”

I’m fucking TRYING. I’m trying, but I can’t determine where the hell a sound is coming from when it’s either so quiet I have to hold my breath to hear it, or so loud it extends to the other ear and confuses my brain.

The only way I beat SOTM cheatless was by both cheesing the game, gunning it, and watching and memorizing the Mimics exact fucking routine and waiting for them to pass a specific hiding spot at exactly the right moment.

I’m tired, okay? Give me FUCKING SOUND INDICATORS! PLEASE! I am BEGGING YOU! I love horror games, but I can’t enjoy them if I can’t play them!

I have a confession. I cheat in video games.

Not online games — I’m not a cunt.

But like those games where it’s super hard to get all the lore and collectibles and story? Yeah, sometimes if I don’t have the spoons but I wanna see everything, I cheat. I turn on invulnerability, I freeze enemies.

Most horror games don’t have a directional indicator thingie for sounds, and I can’t determine where an enemy is unless it’s blaring in one ear and silent in the other. The perks of having audio processing issues, I guess.

So I cheat when I get fed up.

Euphoric because I know, as a fat and short man, I’d be a Tumblr Sexyman, but sad because I know I’d be drawn as a tall, skinny twink.

[cottoncandyentrails]

I’m too fat for this heat. Help me :[

Let disabled people say — and see — fuck. And shit. And cunt. Subtitles shouldn’t be censored. Curse words need to be interpreted. Tap to talk systems should have curse words in them. Talk to text shouldn’t censor words.

I just got the first and second ending to Secret of the Mimic—finally. I’ve been playing little bits of it at a time when I have the energy.

Anyway, the hide portions of the game are kind of annoying, not gonna lie. I hate when the Mimic leaves an area and then just decides, “never mind, I’m going to immediately turn back around.” Also, they seriously need an option to skip dialogue. PLEASE.

Outside of that, the environments and designs are cool, the story seems cool, and the game has been pretty fun.

Also, despite chasing me down and trying to kill me, I kind of feel bad for the Mimic. Its designed to mimic people, and it’s only influences were an absent and grieving father, a grieving child with an absent father, and a serial killer.

Someone needs to adopt this thing and start actually parenting it.

I don’t mind the long reblog at all!

I’ve been archiving a lot of AstralSpiff’s content—including VODS. Highly recommend checking him out if you like stupid challenge runs. He’s got a lot of really long videos, too. (Plus you can follow him—and other content creators that stream—on Twitch to support him during the blackout.)

If you do end up hosting content on a public server, let me know if, and how, I can contribute.

I heard mention of people wanting to do a YouTube blackout, starting on the 13th of August to protest the new changes. I want to participate, and I want to try and get other people to participate, too.

I would recommend using sites like https://downr.org to archive any videos you would like to watch. If your favorite YouTubers also stream on Twitch, consider supporting by watching there.

Anyone have that panic where they think, “wait, am I actually asexual???” because they saw someone that was really pretty and handsome, and then you realize you aren’t sexually attracted to them, you just think tall, buff, broad-shouldered butches with piercings and tats are aesthetically pleasing and cool and if they’d let you, you’d take them on a friendship date and look at them the whole time?

[cottoncandyentrails]

Downr.org is a good tool to archive videos with.

If a YouTuber you like streams on Twitch, consider supporting and watching them there.

Cancel any YouTube memberships, as they do get a cut of the money. Look for alternative ways to support content creators like through services like Patreon or Ko-Fi.

Okay so bad news for everyone on YouTube right now

Starting the 13th, we will have an AI determine if we are children or not and if you are a child, than you are forced to send your ID, send a selfie or a credit card

This has the obvious cons of having your privacy being revoked from you and and in case there is a security breach, major identity thefts.

So what do we do in this scenario?

Well right now I have real idea as this is relativity new to me, but I do have two plans

Plan 1. Bug the shit out of them, send letters and send emails about how much of bad idea this is.

Include why the AI will mess up and target adults who watch cartoons, include privacy issues, censorship issues, anything you can think of that relates to this. I want you guys to bug the hell out of YouTube until they reverse this idea

Plan 2. Blackout.

Since the thing is coming out on the 13th.

The plan will be to completely avoid YouTube at all cost for that day, no watching, no sharing, no uploading, no nothing.

Download videos before things go down, watch Netflix. Whatever you do, don’t touch YouTube.

That’s all I can say right now, I also want you guys to let YouTubers know of this situation cause if it’s important for everyone on the website to talk about this immediately

Spread this stuff around, let people know of YouTube’s upcoming policy and how it’ll hurt everyone

…and this is why I hate censorship.

[cottoncandyentrails]

Hot take, but if there was more support and less stigma around addicts, I think the world would be a better place.

I know it’s basic, but the trope of just slapping shit on an animal is one of my favorites. How to make a compelling weird and whimsical creature? Slap some claws and sharp teeth—and maybe a few extra miscellaneous limbs from other animals—on a cute little critter, and you’ve got yourself a creature.

[cottoncandyentrails]

Fuck AI and fuck people that accuse actual writers of using AI. It can pry em dashes out of my cold, dead hands.

My new dentist found out I’m schizophrenic last appointment because my medication is listed in my file. She keeps treating me like a child now. I fucking hate her so much.

You don’t need to tell my mother to make sure I floss. I’m a fucking adult.

[cottoncandyentrails]

Whenever I’m sad, I just whisper ‘cunt cunt fuck piss’ under my breath and it instantly makes my day better.

[cottoncandyentrails]

I pronounce ‘sorry’ like ‘soar-ee’ and ‘sentient’ like ‘sen-tee-ent’ and I have no idea why. I was born and raised in the deep south of the US and literally nobody around me says it like that. Maybe I read ‘sentient’ before I heard it out loud, but surely I heard the word ‘sorry’ at some point before ever seeing it on a page.
