👁Could I. Could I suspect you opened Journey. Could I

Just saw someone saying that "multiplayer" in the game they liked completely changed their mind to play it (but still played because there wasn't "talking" and "chatting" functions, still sounded like they weren't happy) Was surprised, because "multiplayer" games as an "open world" are one of my favs, I didn't know it can push people away? Not a lot of current ones but old ones, where you could just open this one online site with this game and there are hundreds dudes all over writing funny stuff in chat and you have fun just for the sake of fun. The ones I used to play on were all cancelled or changed to the extend where "fun" is no more fun. And I think games where you play as a quiet creature among similar creatures who's ability to talk is only through your body language is wonderful. You don't have to talk, you all mind your business, but there are little occasions where you might interact or help each other and this happens so natural, it doesn't feel forced, it gives happiness. And you both just quietly stare at each other and give any sign that game might suggest you to show the gratitude. Such games are so sweet in their comfort of being quiet

So there's an FF7 spin off called Dirge of Cerberus which was on the PS2. Dirge of Cerberus had an online multiplayer mode with a separate prequel story that was never available outside of japan. The Japanese only muliplayer mode story had a minor NPC added to boost the player's level in exchage for money.

That NPC was a tsviet called "Pullum" who was always shown wearing a moogle hat.

Here's a design for Pullum without the hat.

Is this the most niche character art we've drawn ever? possibly.

So I'm back on my Elden Ring shit during the little free time I have from work and uni. And, ugh, it's so much fun. I had never really played it by myself, I used better muliplayer before, and honestly, I'm kinda killing the game and very proud of myself.

If you have really had anger issues like I do, I would definitely suggest giving it a go. It's helped my deal with failure so much better and not give up so easily.

Also, if anyone has any suggestions or advice for anything, that would be amazing.

ok I got curious who is dream. I keep seeing you reblog things that sound like he was involved in some kind of drama and I love few things more than hearing about drama I am involved in so I had to ask

OH MY GOD.

i guess this my reminder that the internet is wide and vast and contains so many subsets of people that know nothing of each other... because the fact you don't know DREAM is SHOCKING to me but honestly? it makes sense. he's just REALLY REALLY BIG in the circles i frequent.

how to explain...

OK let's start by explaining mcyt stan culture. mcyt stands for minecraft youtuber, and there's a pretty large fandom for them, which makes sense when you remember just how big minecraft is. there's typical fanart of minecraft skins, but what people LOVE is SMPs, aka "survival muliplayer" minecraft worlds. basically, when a bunch of youtubers get together and hang out together in a minecraft world for a while, all posting seperate videos where they mine, build, engage in minecraft activites, etcetera. mostly these will take minecraft literally, but sometimes they'll sprinkle in bits of "lore" - players having feuds, fighting in wars, forming alliances. it's not that serious, just a way to make these long smps interesting.

that is, it WASN'T that serious. until the DSMP.

dream was a pretty famous mcyt, who really blew up for his "minecraft manhunt" series, where he tried to speedrun minecraft (by defeating the ender dragon) while his friend(s) tried to kill him before he could. with this mild fame, he decided to start a casual minecraft server with his friends, named the "dream smp", or dsmp, where they could get together and play the game on streams.

then he started inviting more youtubers on, outside of his inner friend circle. one in particular, wilbur soot, decided to start a sort of storyline, involving a country he made, where he would declare independence from the larger dream smp.

and, well. it went from there.

there's no way i can explain everything that happened on that server. so many storylines, so many characters, so many perspectives, SO. MUCH. LORE. the dsmp was the first smp to really revolutionize the idea of minecraft smps with lore, and they exploded onto the scene. a bunch of funny, already popular/up-and-coming mcyts, all interacting with each other and creating a story to follow, in the peak of 2020 quarentine, when everyone was online to see them?

yeah. dsmp pretty much ended in 2022, but its fandom is still alive and well, if a little diminished from where it was when the dsmp was ongoing.

dream is a youtuber with over 30 million subscribers, and a lot of them just enjoy his videos, but the FANDOM - the fans that seriously follow him, engage with him, and to some extent obsess over him - mostly comes from the dsmp.

but whatever about the dsmp. you're not here for that. you're here for the CONTROVERSY.

and oh my god... is there controversy.

first of all, his minecraft manhunt series? the thing that got him famous? a lot of its fame is based on the amazing, impressive, and straight up unbelievable stunts dream pulls during them, which have resulted in a lot of people believing that they're at least semi-manipulated, if not straight up staged.

but whatever- it's for youtube. nothing seriously wrong with cheating a little there.

but when he's not getting hunted down by his friends, dream does normal spreedrunning, which means setting a timer, submitting his run to moderators to look over, and trying to get on a leaderboard. it's decently policed stuff, and people take it very seriously.

and, yeah, he DEFINITELY cheated on that.

there's a lot of technical details that i don't fully understand and you don't want to hear about, but basically, some moderators did some math and found that some of the "good luck" dream experienced during a speedrun was so mathematically improbable that there was only a 1 in 177 BILLION chance it could have happened.

so they took the run down.

dream responded by denying all of their claims, accusing them of lying and bad math, and generally throwing a huge temper tantrum in front of the entire internet, before reluctantly admitting that he had "accidentally" cheated in the run.

you may be wondering how someone accidentally cheats. i'm wondering that too.

but that's more silly stuff. let's get down into the worse controversy, the one that sort of destroyed dream for the dsmp fandom besides the most devoted stans.

the grooming allegations.

multiple fans have seperately stepped forward and said that dream groomed them when they were under 18, taking advantage of his position as an older, wealthy, famous man to influence his fans.

dream has completely denied this, and the internet is, frankly, a little confused as to the validity of the claims (mostly pertaining to the fans' ages and if the conversations really "count" as grooming) but it's generally agreed that dream, at the VERY least, acted in a way that was inappropiate for a celebrity to act with a fan. whether this was intentional and malicious or just dangerous negligence on his fault remains to be seen, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth either way.

there's also a compliation of things that i'm not super familiar with - one time he started a one-sided rivalry with a fellow mcyt when he created another smp, i think accusing him of "copying" the dsmp? - but since this isn't an academic paper, let me reluctantly source "bad vibes" for the reason some people don't like him. dream has a history of just being kind of a huge asshole to fans and fellow youtubers alike, both publically and privately. like, seriously, the shit he posts ONLINE for ANYONE TO SEE is unbelieveable, and makes you wonder at how things are behind closed doors.

the reason why everyone's talking about him RIGHT NOW is because of something tommyinnit (another minecraft youtuber, "main character" of the dsmp, the one guy i will bestow the dubious honor of being a "stan" of) mentioned on an episode of his podcast. he said that in the past he was scared of making dream angry, and WROTE IN HIS DIARY not to piss him off, because it wasn't worth it. keep in mind, this happened when he was SIXTEEN. tommy said that as a now-twenty-year-old, he couldn't imagine treating a teenager that way, and jackmanifold, someone else who was a part of the dsmp and interacted with dream, said that he hated dream.

another part of this getting brought up is a twitter thread that happened awhile ago (i believe back in 2021?), where dream basically claimed credit for tommy's success as a youtuber, posting screenshots of GRAPHS (???) that "proved" that tommy owed EVERYTHING TO HIM (??????) which is just. frankly unhinged behavior. i'll see if i can reblog a screenshot so you can see.

ANYWAY, dream obviously saw the podcast and the (rightfully pissed) fans' reaction to it, and decided to react in the most emotionally mature manner: a post mentioning how grateful he was to work with people on the dsmp, "even if we don't see eye to eye", and releasing the DSMP WORLD DOWNLOAD. (this is basically a way to download the way the dsmp minecraft world looks and play it on your own version of minecraft, so you can actually explore all the areas where lore took place.)

keep in mind, this server imploded in 2022. it's been TWO YEARS of fans begging for the world download, and he finally brought it out as a publicity stunt to make everyone forget about him being an asshole. which, can i just say, as someone that's not an expert at pr? only makes it clear to me that he knew exactly how much of an asshole he was being, and did it anyway.

obviously, there's more to the story here (oh my god i could make a dozen of these posts about dream's position in dsmp lore ALONE), and a lot of stuff i don't even know about, because i don't spend all my time familiarizing myself with cc!dream lore, but this is a pretty concise summary of events. i hope you can now enjoy my occassional rbs of posts that mock dream relentlessly as someone who officially knows the drama :)

I’ll say this like one time and I might say it again eventually idk but

please please understand that I am always available to game unless I’m not online, busy or I tell you that I don’t have the energy. don’t be afraid to ask to hang out with me if we’re friends even if we don’t have each other friended on steam and roblox [just let me know your user!!] + on steam we can see if we share any muliplayer games we may enjoy playing together

I’m not one to bite and it isn’t like im gonna yell at you for asking to hang out. I do not have the energy I used to have to ask people to play games so please remember that I won’t say no most likely unless I’m already doing something or I ran out of energy. I don’t exactly have the motivation to wait until you’re seeking out to game with people just to ask

this also goes: you can message me at any time instead of waiting for me to message you. I don’t always think to talk to people because I talk to the same people everytime lol. friends can have my discord and I’ll try my best to respond to stuff

54

54: Is cheating ever okay?

academically Yes of course i don’t think theres a situation in which i can say its not

games Yes only single player unless muliplayer is absolue stupid bullshit

romantically It depends i think there is a lot of nuance in relationships that peopel over look i think i can’t reaply get mad when you hear about wives of abusive men cheating because they have no other option or something. it just depends. Morally sound?not really. but its not ablaco and white situation liek how most people think imo

[scpwiki-official]

WOOOO HELL YES!!! :DDD and that is also very true!!!

My favorite character from the whole game is the reactor. It's an item and it's dangerous to grab and it emits a calming glow. I could be dying but if I'm holding the reactor I'm dying calmer than I've ever died before

[undercover-bun-etc]

Wishing there was a muliplayer Skyrim mod....

[commanderaqwahstrainingoutpost]

So the muliplayer SMP server i play on is having a competition to see who can travel the farthest ( no elytra) over a month ( and maybe a scavenger hunt?) IM SO EXCITED. this seems so fun and refreshing and i jsut wanna share my excitement but i think im missing out on like three days at the start due to pax QAQ

[meenahray]

Me, learning to draw men and dragonborn at the same time so I can make content of my muliplayer Tav and Gale: "you've got this, it was inevitable, it's OK to be bad in the beginning, you'll get this"

It sounds dumb but it's such a herdle for me cuz I normally only draw girls and this has been a year's long issue with my art growth lmao

[gcu-sovereign]

Canlander is very cool, but trades aways the consistency of a legacy deck for many more routes to Synergy in a way edh players deeply understand. But this alao meana getting hamstrung by muliplayer focused, like Initiative

I found indie commander 2.0 if anyone prefers playing commander, i, personally tend to default to it because my average deck is already 70-80+ cards sooo yknow

Its called canadian highlander, and while it is just 1v1s, I mean... unoffically and casually with your friends no one is forcing you to play 1v1, just like how commander isnt strictly 4pffa

Also the power system is better imo, powerful cards are given a score and you can only have a max number score of 10, i havent tried it yet but yknow, mtg purists will say "nuu you must play 1v1s in this format1111" but i mean... its your cards and your prolly just playing with your friends, play however you want, im still gonna break the rule ofn"no sideboards" i did that for edh and ill do it for ch, i dont play competitively and like. If you really have a problem with it just pretend im bringing out a new (but similar) deck

[waffles-are-nice]

Always fun playing with strangers
