Had a great time playing Sims today (spent 3 and a half hours searching for and downloading custom content and never once turned on the game)

[aces-and-angels]

countdown to 2024 @choicesfandomappreciation

deadlines? we don't know her😗💅🏼 so many works to shoutout- so brace yourselves gang- this'll be a long one

now- without further ado- here are some writers that made my year:

🖤@thedistantshoresproject

sending love to the whole team on board who are working tirelessly to finish this magnificent project. i was so excited to read the demo this year! knowing how long the journey has been and reading the updates each week- i realize how weary yall must be and hope that i can convey my gratitude for bringing back our favorite pirates in one awesome sequel 🖤

---

🖤@bloodboundsiege

another demo for the books- and another fanmade project that i am rooting for; i personally have only read through finn's demo but i'm already in love with all the characters. plus- who wouldn't be excited for the chance to romance gaius??? there is a ton of lore in op's blog for all the new lis that i 100% recommend to read through. excited to see what's in store in the new year!

---

🖤@hashiedraws

the way i ran to play this story when it dropped😭 if yall are fans of ilw- then you may know that one of the artists released this wonderful vn this year. it's a story that keeps on serving 🎾 the artwork is incredible and the accompanying story is an absolute treasure. i was on the floor- in tears- jaw-dropped. trust me- it was an experience. one i recommend yall take too 😊

---

🖤 @lovehugsandcandy

the queen of colt- and tbh- one of my literary muses. your writing is such an inspiration to me and having you back on the dash this year for blades was definitely a highlight 🖤 a snippet from one of my favorite fics this year:

read 'bound' here "Of course. We have plenty of time for that... don't we?" “Because you’re not leaving?” He squeezes her hand. “I’m not leaving.”  It’s a whisper more powerful than any rope.

---

🖤@jerzwriter

the heart you have is so warm and inviting- and it shows with each work you've shared🖤 i've cherished reading your works for trystan x carolina- picking one to highlight seems cruel but i'll give it a shot lol. their banter/dynamic is so beautifully portrayed and never fails to bring a smile to my face:

read 'tricks and treats' here “There is no Trystan,” he snickered, playfully pulling her close. “Only the Big Bad Wolf..uh.. no.. I mean Grandma! I’m Grandma, trust me.” “Grandma? What big paws you have!” she beamed as he nuzzled into her neck and playfully growled. “The better to paw you with, my dear...” “Well, you can paw me once we get to the party. We’re very late.”

---

🖤@theoriginaltortuga

your four part series- 'responsibility, rage, and recent resurrection' was such a good read and deserves some love. it ain't a secret i'm a big ilw fan- and a sucker for bonus scenes. reading a more fleshed out version of connor's eventual turning was *chef's kiss* immaculate- i shamelessly go back to this fic from time to time:

read 'responsibility, rage, and recent resurrection' here Grief and terror had been a part of Connor since the night Devon died. The feelings came and went, but they never left completely and Connor worried that he would never feel peace again. With Devon alive but unconscious, a massacre set for a few days, and the man who’d killed his mother on the loose; those feelings were more overwhelming than ever. Not to mention the anger that had been festering in his chest since his mom was killed. All of it led back to one simple thing: Westchester wasn’t safe.

🖤@linkysmommy

mother lincoln- i wanna thank you for blessing me with not only ilw itself but ilw fics (and some other works of yours i've recently had the pleasure of reading😉) though, imma pivot real quick from ilw and actually give some praise to another project of yours- and the reason i downloaded storyloom in the first place- open heart: a toxic situation. what a story full of mystery, romance, and ✨bryce✨ (there are multiple lis to choose from- i just really love bryce lmao)

read this beauty right here

🖤 @saibug1022

the angst legend- i go to you for the hurt lmaoo. but really- it is a talent to write the way you do and i'm lucky to reap the benefits of reading your work. the time you put into crafting your mcs- making them fully fleshed out blorbos- then giving the most heart-wrenching scenarios to deal with- incredible✨ here's some love for the villain stories out there:

read 'a funeral of faith' here “I had no place in Undermount while humans and orcs treated me like an outsider. I was kidnapped and tortured while my friends and two of the men I loved gave up on me and left me to die. And the other man I loved used and betrayed me for power and disappeared when I still forgave him.”

---

🖤 @professor-abeloved

prepare to be adored, admired, and appreciated- your mcs are everything to me. the way you write is so special and uniquely you- and i love your work dearly. i've got your fics seared in my brain- here's one of the many (bc we as a fandom silently agreed that linc angst just hits different):

read 'lincoln's bad day' here “Sorry,” Ro called out for what felt like the nth time with an awkward grimace. “You okay? I can get an ice pack or a salonpas or—” “It’s fine,” Lincoln says, clutching his aching jaw. In some weird way, it’s surprisingly… therapeutic? There’s something about a being confronted with such raw, unimaginable Power that has the capacity to utterly destroy you if it chooses, but instead it’s draping a small, lilac cardigan over your shoulders as it looks you over for bruises. read 'lincoln's bad day' here “Sorry,” Ro called out for what felt like the nth time with an awkward grimace. “You okay?

🖤@mydemonsdrivealimo

bless your beautiful, magnificent brain- atp your hcs are my canon lmaoo. bryce and jensen are so special to me and it's no secret how much love you've poured into them through your work. slowly but surely, i'm getting around to reading all the fics of theirs. the ones i have read were amazing. time to shower praise for your most recent work (also i'm rooting for you- writer's block is a biatch):

read 'halloween' here “Hey, sorry,” Bryce said, giving his waist a quick squeeze before unceremoniously flopping into one of the chairs, the force sending it back enough that Jensen had to pull him closer. “You’re lucky I didn’t lock you out and eat it for you,” Jensen said with a quick wave to the food in front of him, taking a seat in his own chair. “M’fucking starving.” He was already shoveling crab rangoon into his mouth, ignoring the steam coming off of it.

🖤 @aria-ashryver

a ray of sunshine- you deserve the world and more🥰 one thing on my to-do list for the new year is to finally sit down and read SICSIG. from the snippets i've seen, i know i'll treasure the heck out of it. when i do- i apologize in advance for the person i become lmao (give it up for the poly romance yall)

read 'snow in crimson, starlight in gold' here

---

🖤@me

self-love, amirite? reading through old works is either a hit or miss for me lol- but the process of writing has been a welcome journey of mine. from the frantic word vomit to staring at a blinking cursor- it's been a ride. and i'm thankful to everyone above for inspiring me to keep moving forward 🖤

read whatever yall want here

this list could go on and on and i'm definitely missing some people- but to the writers out there: you are the heartbeat of the fandom and we are lucky to have you 🖤

My new murder mystery is available now! 🐇🔪 it’s ✨free✨ download on Smashwords and 0.99 on Kindle! Links below after description!

Description: It's Violet's twelfth birthday party, and her classmates decide to play a cruel prank with rabbit masks and knives... that ends with death. The mystery goes unsolved for eighteen years, until Violet Woods returns to her old hometown of Twilight Falls nearing her thirtieth birthday, and ends up meeting all her old schoolmates again. She decides to solve the mystery of which one was the killer at her birthday party back then, which brings the killer back to their old tricks...

The story is told from Violet’s perspective, but wanders back to eighteen years ago each chapter to the view of one of her classmates, showing that each kid from back then had dark secrets, and maybe even reasons for what happened.

The story was inspired by The Birthday Massacre’s music 🎶 And if you’re looking for demisexual, asexual, and lesbian main characters, they’re here!

The Birthday Massacre’s demos uploaded to Patreon (part 2)

First of all, I highly recommend that you support the band by subscribing to their Patreon, so you can listen to and download these for yourself :) But for those without the means to, or those who want a concise list, here we are! Broken into Part 1 and 2.

Part 1 is here

In order of upload (oldest to most recent). Text in quotation marks is copied + pasted directly from the Patreon upload. Unquoted text is my own thoughts. 

Fading. Dreams of You demo. [Rainbow, about sending the demo to Falcore:] "he plays us this song but he's turned it upside down and created this bopping eighties jam with it. Sped up the tempo, modified the key of the song and added some really cool synth production to it." Fading is a slowed down, spooky, "introspective" demo of Dreams of You. Lyrics are slightly different and the sound is more haunting and longing. Length: 1:49. Exact date unknown.

Marionettes (Premix). In This Moment demo. Very similar to the final version, but different vocals/lyrics in the second chorus. Length: 4:44. Exact date unknown.

Outside. A short instrumental demo of Beyond. Length: 1:27. Exact date unknown

Legend. "Building a Song"- synth chord progressions that developed into Precious Hearts. Length: 1:40. Exact date unknown.

Legend. Precious Hearts demo instrumental. "Building a Song"- "Here is the next version of the song. At this point, Falcore has continued to work out the track and added additional synths and some drums to start to form the idea..... This track was actually called "Legend" right up until the final mix!" Length: 1:52. Exact date unknown.

Legend (Bat vocals). Precious Hearts demo with Bat's vocals. "Building a Song" - vocal ideas only in the first verse and pre-chorus. Length: 4:30. Exact date unkown.

Legend (Chibi rough vocals). Precious Hearts demo. "Building a Song" - Two weeks before album needs to be complete: "What's left? Well, now we would dive into Tracking the final vocals now that Chibi knows the song. Over the next couple of weeks, we will record each song a bunch of times with her in different mindsets of performance. Relaxed, aggressive, soft, intimate and then find the perfect combo for the final album! You may notice there are a couple of things missing still! Rainbow's Harmonies and the Bridge idea!" Length: 4:30. Exact date unknown.

Precious Hearts (Final mix, unmastered). "Building a Song". Title switched from Legend to Precious Hearts. Subtle differences from released mastered version- for example, this can clearly be heard in the bridge. Length: 4:24. Exact date unknown.

Crossed. An electronic-driven instrumental "demo from the "Diamonds" sessions that never fully became a song!" Length: 3:38. Dated to 2018. Exact date unknown.

Neon. End of All Stories demo with Rainbow's vocals, only in the first verse. Length: 2:37. Exact date unknown.

Spooky Loop. A higher quality of the instrumental background music that used to feature on the old nothingandnowhere.com website. Length: 2:27. Exact date unknown.

Night Loop. Another higher quality instrumental from the nothingandnowhere.com website. Length: 1:54. Exact date unknown.

Fatality. Like Fear, Like Love demo with Rainbow's rough vocal ideas. Demo created by Falcore. Length: 2:34, Exact date unknown.

Fatality. Like Fear, Like Love demo. Chibi's rough vocals, but not yet complete (e.g. empty chorus). Length: 4:26. Exact date unknown.

Other. Run instrumental demo. Length: 3:24. Exact date unknown.

Soundtrack. A short instrumental demo from the Walking with Strangers era. "Here is an idea that may have blossomed but there were already so many songs on the table!" Length: 0:56. Exact date unknown.

Irreversible. "An unused gem from 2018 "Diamonds" writing sessions." Instrumental demo which *partly* sounds reminiscent of early instrumental work (e.g. Night Loop, Spooky Loop). Length: 1:51. From 2018. Exact date unknown.

Beware Loop. "Here's a sweet little loop made from the "Hide & Seek" era!". Instrumental track that *partly* sounds like Cold Lights. Length: 1:37. Exact date unknown.

Superstition (Rainbow Version). "A version of "Superstition" that Rainbow had created during his Wight Eye's writing sessions." Length: 4:09. Exact date unknown.

Bad Jeans. A heavy electro-driven instrumental demo . "Written pre Hide & Seek." Length: 4:56. Exact date unknown.

Ever. Instrumental demo with guitars, drums and electronic sounds. "Written pre Hide & Seek." Length: 2:11. Exact date unknown.

2 Hearts (OE demo). Rough demo of Two Hearts with OE singing the first verse and chorus. Length: 1:45. Recorded in 2008. Exact date unknown.

GhostTown. Sideways instrumental demo. Length: 2:24. Exact date unknown.

Pale Instrumental demo. More stripped down than the final instrumental- more electro than rock-driven. Some of the synth is more distorted, which sounds really fun! Length: 3:21. Exact date unknown.

Restraint. The Long Way Home demo by OE, featuring different vocals and lyrics from OE. Sounding even scarier and darker than the final version. Length: 1:54. Exact date unknown.

Glamorama. Instrumental demo of Always with electronic notes instead of vocals. Length: 4:13. Exact date unknown.

Control demo. Featuring Falcore's vocals, and some lyrical differences. Length: 3:24. Exact date unknown.

Part 3 will be uploaded in the future!

just a quick psa because this singular post of astarion is gaining traction just because of a mod: don’t EVER let someone make you feel bad for modding your game how you want. who cares? i don’t like being mean or rude to people on the internet cause at the end of the day, most of these people don’t know what they’re talking about.

but if you’re calling someone names, or cussing someone out, or calling people incels over a cosmetic mod, then YOU have problems of your own because it just sounds like we cannot share a simple mod for any game without being attacked for it cause honestly, i posted my astarion because i think he looks handsome and i saw the mod and thought “that looks cool” and i downloaded it and fell in love and kept it. not because im afraid of aging. aging happens and its uncontrollable irl.

but if you’re seriously making SUCH a big deal by reblogging my post about young astar and being disgusted because he looks younger and doesn’t have wrinkles and calling me names and saying i butchered/massacred him, again, YOU seriously have issues. the mod i downloaded fit his voice IMO and we all have diffferent tastes, likes, dislikes, whatever.

people make these mods because some people might think, younger astarion might fit this voice or it can be a matter of people playing the game might feel a little more comfortable or have headcannons. however you play your game. mods are there so you can mod how YOU WANT. if people didn’t want the astarion mod i have then people wouldn’t have been downloaded and as of right now, it’s one of the most popular mods on nexus for him :/

but come on, people. at the end of the day. it’s a mod. you can like your astar and i can like mine. i’m not reblogging posts of the og astar and saying he looks like this or that, so why are you? if you’re gonna do it to my modded astar, why can’t i do it to your og astar? it always goes both ways.

and that goes for ANY game. mod the shit out of the game how you want and if you have a problem with how someone mods their game, block them. you don’t have to go out of your way to reblog and say nasty things in someone’s ask box or tags and then when someone wants to confront you, you wanna have messages turned off or you try to justify your inappropriate and rude actions. you didn’t have to say anything and you chose to because? why did you feel the need to say something about the way my game is modded? because you wanted to and felt the need to? where is the logic. where does that make sense.

you don’t have to be childish on the internet over a fictional game character. you’re probably an adult with a job, family, whatever, and you’re harassing someone and calling them an incel because astar doesn’t have wrinkles.

what are some more of your interests (to everyone on the blog, + littles if they answer on this blog?) :0!! i rarely see agere community post that are into metal/heavier stuff and still active, its nice to see pop up :D!!

Hello !! :D Its defiantly nice to see other alternative regressors around !! The littles dont usually answer on this blog but I dont mind answering for them (sort of..) Currently we're really hyper fixated on homestuck (which I may or may not be posting agere fanart for soon,,). Im not totally sure why! But its probably bc we're huge into the scene, mainly Juggalos and Gothic/Queer history.. A few hobbies of ours are doll making (with mixed media, mostly cloth and needle felting)... we also really like the show Metalocalypse! Which isnt REALLY safe for regressors to watch but the kids in my sys think the show is funny Specifically relating to one of the kids.. my little brother Mick LOVES Texas Chainsaw Massacre,, he made us download it on our phone to watch when we were on a 2 week vacation and it was ALL WE WATCHED...and Jake & The Neverland Pirates but that was playing on the TV 24/7 Plants/Biology, crystals, tarot, greek philosophy, artwork and art history... we're into a lot of things!! Sorry if this is a huge mess of a post..We like a lot of things !

Creating a Festival

When I was setting up for Conquer’s Isla Paradiso vacation, I created a community lot using @aroundthesims​​‘ Ruins objects. Originally I thought the lot would make a great secret party site. Later on, having still not used the lot (forgot it existed, had to search for it the day of the festival, lol), I shifted it’s purpose as the site for a Spring Break bash, giving my household something special to do when Glamour came to stay. Conquer was also learning to DJ and eventually got the moonlight want, so I figured the festival could serve as his debut. 

After playing in live for two years (IT’S BEEN TWO YEARS) I realized there were very few venues where the Central island sims socialized with the Little Sister folks. When it came time to get ready for the festival, I wanted to rectify this to some degree and prepared myself to be very hands on in order to really make the celebration Isla Paradiso wide.

If you’re thinking, this can’t get more complicated, ‘TIME TO MEET MY BRAIN:

My Brain: If Isla Paradiso has a festival every year there has to be a reason for it.

Me (because we’re separate): I mean it’s a tourist hub, so any excuse to get people to spend money.

MB: What attracts spenders more than a cultural festival?

M: Okay. 

MB: Something where people can wear skimpy costumes and parade around town merrily. You do have all those cc masks, headdresses and a bunch of costume make up.

M: That’s a good point. I’ve never used half of that stuff, plus I’ve still got a bunch of beachwear downloaded just for this save and that’ll probably never get used otherwise. 

MB: Excellent! You’re in?

M: I am!

MB: Why are they parading in the outfits, though?

M: What?

MB: Why? If it’s cultural there has to be a reason. You know, the history.

M: I mean it could have been established so long ago no one remembers why --

MB: But you have to remember... because that will help determine what their costumes look like.

M: Oooooh.

MB: And since you decided to be realistic and divide your island based on skin tone there’s going to at least be two different colored costumes.

M: Makes sen--

MB: Possibly multiple colors for different roles in the same faction...

M: Fa-factions?

MB: ...and two distinct styles of costumes to mark the separate factions. Maybe some costume variations depending on the household...

M: Oh, I --

MB: ...styles based on the colonizer group and the colonized group.

M: Umm --

MB: Because divided people will have divided cultures. Divided cultures mean divided histories...

M: WHERE ARE YOU GOING WITH THIS!

MB: ...or different versions of the same history.

M: ???

MB: You know? For the event.

M:

MB: The event being celebrated during YOUR festival.

M: What have I done?

MB: What have you done?

----

So basically I ran that little sims wikia snippet about Isla Paradiso’s royal descendants through my head overlord and out came a complicated story of the Ichtaca family massacring people to colonize their paradise. This initially took place while I was flicking through clothes in create a sim, and was fleshed out a bit further over time. Eventually, I decided there would be three tales of the final battle that lead to the current Isla Paradiso, and serves as the event the festival is held to honor:

The “official story” i.e. the one taught in the history books that inspires the lighter wealthier population’s celebration. 

The “real story,” or the survival tale descendants of the archipelago’s original, darker and poorer, residents, pass down and celebrate. 

Then the truth, which none of the sims in the game actually knows at this point.

The costumes worn by the residents were based on their respective myths. Only one group’s costumes got captured during live mode, and only a little of their history will be shared in A Farming Town: Tropical Vacation since this is told mostly through Conquer and he’s an outsider.

Next up, the first festival CAS post.

I found and did something very important yesterday:

So basically, I reinstated my vibes.

You see, I watchewd a video criticizing sludge content and it gave me a psuedo-existential crisis, I didn’t know whether or not i was watching content worth my time, i like long term fan content with plots and I usually download them to watch at home since I’m offline most of the time but I don’t know if that content SUITES me y’know? I’ve been trying to curate my interests for a long time and I got back into tf2 after a few days of no content because i had a dream about it. 

And let me tell you i am VERY attached to the characters (can’t play the game right now) and story any time I watch something about them I feel like warmed seasoned cooked chicken wings (also because that’s what’s in the fridge). Earlier thatr day I had downloaded HOURS of sfm show-esque content while multitasking to not be bored which spurred my stressful self reflection and in my distress in order to calm down I ended up listening to one of my pre-digital rebirth songs (the birthday massacre) and it reminded me that I can find new songs by starting pandora song-based stations. 

Ok more context: after my digital rebirth and keeping an eye on the content I consume, I couldn’t find any media that fit what I was going for or i would find something that would fit me and my vibes at first but after listening for a long time I would slowly start going neurotic from replaying it over and over again. 

I needed new music. New music that wouldn’t make me feel rabid after a few listens. One of those bands was of montreal, specifically their peppy elegant funk music.

So I went onto pandora and made a station based on gallery piece from their skeletal lamping album for find more music that had the same energy (lyrics can go either way) and GOD did I find what I was looking for!! 

FIRST I rediscovered a french pop song that i hadn’t heard since I was a CHILD and couldn’t look up later in life due to not knowing the lyrics, only the melody. When I heard that song on that fateful day I was ESTATIC and the good vibes only continued! Another old song that I couldn’t find due to not knowing the lyrics popped up ( with more fitting music of course)! I ended up listening to that station for the rest of the half hour while browsing pinterest, etsy, and irregular choice and I had SO MUCH FUN!! I was ACTUALLY enjoying myself more while browsing!

Conclusion: my colorful funky vibes are here and now I feel like a damn shopping mall and it has kinda inspired me!! Also I just so happened to remember Bunny Maloney so that’s cool too!

You can use pinterest, spoofy, and maybe youtube if you’re looking for new music.

Rushsly: Second Cavern Arc 1

Tell me about it, lol. You and me both

There comes a time in any new and many veteran players' fortresses when you realize that you should have gelded or just straight-up butchered those fucking dogs you started with all the way back at the start because you are never going to need this many dogs - but before you go hacking them all up for meat that your dumb-ass kobbles (or dorfs, if you're boring) will just leave to rot on the floor, consider that it could be fun to train them into war dogs. They'll almost certainly all die within a single invasion if we do, but it feels better from an ethical standpoint than having our kobbles just straight-up massacre an entire horde of dogs. For now though, we are going to cull a couple of them so that Kikli can finish her artifact. I have nothing against dogs but sometimes they do scare me. I don't know what it is, but when you look too hard at a dog's face, like really look too hard at a dog's face, it seems to activate this primal instinct of like "oh fuck. This is a beastie. It threatens my little monkey troop." But usually you can just keep looking and it will just be a friendly domestic dog. But you know, like, there's dingoes, which look just like normal dogs but are actually fucked up bastards that will maul you. In Australia they built a 3500 mile long fence to keep dingoes out of Queensland. If you take the highest possible estimate of the Great Wall of China's length, the Dingo Fence is just over a quarter as long. I don't know what that really means or if it has any implication, I just suddenly decided I really need to know how long the Dingo Fence is in comparison to the Great Wall of China. But you know, it really fucking makes you think!!!!!!!!!

Just as Kikli gets her hands... paws? claws? on the bones she needs to get started, we get yet another ratfolk snatcher in the fortress.

It survives for about 10 seconds once it gets into the fortress proper. Of course, ratfolk never seem to come just one at a time, so we'd better be ready for another attack. And since the spring is over, it seems like as good a time as any to set the military back to constant training.

Kikli's masterwork is... a single boot... depicting the coronation of a Winged One from many years ago. Not our current one, however. Right now, all I know about them is their name is Canr Adrmicala. I could pop into Legends mode eventually to try and find out what their deal is, but I'd like to save that until later. You know, when I inevitably end up "between fortresses."

But figuring it's best to put that off as long as possible, we take advantage of our burgeoning population and expand the military. This fort is quickly beginning to resemble the United States. Once we get some nobles moving in to start making absurd demands and having innocent people jailed for not playing along with their idiotic ideas of how the economy should work, we can start grilling all-pork-refuse hot dogs and shooting guns. Well, that noble thing actually does happen in the game. Hot dogs, someone would have to mod that in. Guns, same, but I'm almost certain that somewhere there is already a Dwarf Fortress mod that adds guns and I just didn't download it because my brain automatically went "that sounds stupid" as I glanced over it. I don't hate gun nerds or anything, I definitely have the kind of mechanical-focus autism that makes me enjoy them as a triumph of engineering. But 99% of the time someone starts talking about their guns, they are inevitably going to come off as an absolute psychopath or a total pussy (I apologize for using 'pussy' as a derogative here, I am a huge vagina fan, but I couldn't get any other word to land with the same impact.) I particularly appreciate the people out in rural areas that refuse to go to fucking Costco without their fucking Heater. "I need to be Strapped if I'm going to walk into a Wal-Mart. That situation could turn sideways real fast." You are the person that turns situations sideways you fucking freak! All I hear when people say that kind of thing is "if I got into a fight I would get my ass kicked and I do not have the humility to handle it, so I need my Kill People Button on me so that nobody messes with me." You're a fucking bitch! Maybe you do need that gun, because I could probably rip your arms into pieces like construction paper! Though I did grow up in a distant suburb, I have spent most of my life in "the bad part" of a major city that sheltered, TV-poisoned weirdos like to imagine is an active warzone, and I have never felt the need to walk around with a gun, because even though I am kind of an abrasive person with a mean face, I don't go around starting problems and I don't try to insert myself into problems when they happen around me. In a way, out in the suburbs kind of is more dangerous, because everyone is obsessed with their Castle Doctrines and gets almost no opportunities to verify or validate their idea of a consensus reality, isolated as they are in the series of lonely little boxes that comprise the alienated American life, so they just drive themselves more and more paranoid and insane (as cable news' profit margins demand of them) until they freak out and go Max Payne 3 on a fucking post office because another insane racist boomer on 4chan told them that "AliExpress is actually an LGBT666+(the + is an upside down cross) child trafficking operation and there's this new thing called communisexual," and yes I said racist, only the absolute fucking worst of them will admit it but of course they are all racist, the thing they are so scared of in my city and every city is that black and brown people just walk around in public like they're normal humans or something! Yes I do live in "the hood" and there's a fucking farmer's market every weekend. What I'm trying to say here is, well I don't know, I wouldn't call myself a Stalinist per se but when faced with an overwhelming amount of people who genuinely believe just awful and evil things who regularly fantasize about doing Righteous Violence, I start to get the idea of the "gulag," you know, I think a "re-education camp" is actually a nice compromise between "letting paranoid bigoted reactionaries run around making everyone else miserable and violently terrorizing marginalized people" and "just fucking killing them, just fucking executing them in the streets with firing squads."

The fortress gains a new handful of migrants, just six this time. Of more importance, however, is the plan to keep expanding the base. Deeper and deeper, until we hit sweet adamantite - the siren of the earth that sings all fortresses to ruin.

Deeper.

Deeper, still - but not before we break to collect the resources we uncovered in this shaft. Gold is gold, gems are gems, the earth bleeds bounties to the kobble that strikes it.

Deeper, still. Our advance is halted by the cavern opening up below the mine shaft, which is a good enough excuse to slow down for now. Two layers of cavern means twice as many attack vectors for forgotten beasts - though we'll be sure to close up the opening right away, of course.

Carefully notching out fortifications to look through in the perimeter seems to be the safest method to map these caverns - they've proved worthwhile before, at least against fire-spewing beasts. Black-cap and spore trees would be exciting additions to our wood stocks, but right now the risk involved in going out to cut them is just too high.

Even with all precautions taken, any party could always be your last party, so you simply must party whenever the opportunity arises. Even two of the new marksbold recruits managed to sneak away from training for a moment - "just grabbing some drinks," sure. Maybe one day they'll deeply regret it - if they had just that one last bit of training, maybe catastrophe could have been averted, or at least subdued. This could be what that song "How To Save A Life" is about. Is that even the name of that song? I don't know, I've only ever heard it due to acute FM radio exposure. I don't even know who plays it. Not gonna check either

Dwarves arrive, setting up nice and intrusive-thought-repellingly far from the bridge. For a relative pittance of gems, we take all the meat they have on offer (I will regret this,) some some extra steel armor and picks, and as a little token of appreciation we gift them a big handful of gold coins. Buy yourself something nice, kid.

They also get a front-row seat to see us setting up our first few catapults. These will ostensibly fire right through fortifications, and hopefully not bust through the ceiling or something - it seems to have worked before, in a different fort, anyway - and might be a smidge more forgiving than the ballista. And as we cut away more fortifications into the second cavern layer...

Bro what the fuck ???

Apparently, though I hadn't even noticed it, the first "crime heinous enough to require a Reaper" was committed. And Acl was not actually able to finish the criminal off with a single killing blow. Let's check the Justice tab to see what the crime was, and...

"Violation of production order" you'll fucking try to kill someone after that? Fuck me this fortress really is becoming America. What the fuck, lol.

She barely even just got here, hardly started training, and already has to go through this shit. I don't even remember what Alsrta wanted made, but Case was literally just hanging out doing what she was supposed to be doing. I expected the nobles with ridiculous demands to show up a lot later, but it seems we're perfectly capable of growing unreasonable authority-abusing freaks right here at home. The kobbles elect the Clan Leader, not the player, and it would obviously be terrible for everyone's mood to just straight up kill or expel her, but you know, accidents can always happen.

Shortage of patience yeah no fucking kidding. Actually, I've just thought of a fitting enough "punishment" for her.

There. You want to see someone stabbed for not making you a funny little hat or whatever, well you can walk right over and do it yourself. I'm like 300% sure this won't backfire on me. Well, whatever.

We've mapped the entire second cavern layer. And no sooner do we finish than we receive our second uninvited guest.

Yeah I really went all out on the MS Paint for that one. Poisonous gas seems like exactly the kind of thing that fortifications won't help against, but we'll really just have to see what develops.

It's like it's specifically getting in position for where we'd like to fire on it from. Of course, nothing can ever be too easy, so Acl picks right now of all times to be possessed and try to make an artifact. Maybe trying to kill that poor girl changed something in him. He also picked the farthest possible stoneworker's shop from all the stockpiles, so that'll put him out of commission for a good long while... I'm more worried about Acl, honestly. I have to wonder if I'm underestimating this big blind lobster. We'll see how it reacts to a few volleys of bolts.

fucks sake cunt would ya get back over here

It ignores a few missed bolts and just goes for a swim. As the marksbolds jump back and forth between fortified positions futilely trying to get a good shot on it, another wave of migrants shows up, bringing our population to 86 and thus reclassifying Rushsly as a "town."

I'd say I wished they understood the gravity of the situation, but it doesn't actually seem too grave at all. The lobster literally and figuratively can't even see us, has no way in, and is kind of just chilling.

Acl makes a wind horn (that's normally made out of bone...?) out of granite and dog leather. Imagine if your homie just came up to you one day after not talking to anyone for like, a week, and he was just like "Hey sorry about that. I got possessed by unknowable forces, so I had to make a flute out of broken bits of sidewalk pavement." Personally I would freak out, I would flip the fuck out and just go crazy. But I don't know. Maybe I wouldn't. Got to find somewhere to put this fucking thing now. But then, suddenly, from the first cavern layer:

OLM PEOPLE! They chase off Zhat Lovetwists (kind of horny name,) our hospital's diagnostician, who was down there seeking granite boulders to cut into blocks.

Luckily, she's agile enough to escape, and after fleeing unscathed she just... goes straight to sleep. I mean, okay. That's reasonable, I guess.

The small squadron of olm people cautiously advances, but our larger and far more deadly squadron of killer kobbles sets up position just outside the mine shaft. We cautiously open just one hatch to let them into the funnel, but......

I run out of images in this post so I have to leave it on a cliffhanger LOL my bad!!!!!!!!!!

[generic-lab-assistant]

Now do all of the even numbers.

You’re really makin me work today huh

Let’s go then

2.

Ralph likes hot chocolate, but, once again, he mainly drinks that sweet, sweet Pibb

Pam likes tea and coffee, she’s not a big fan of hot chocolate, even in her human form

6.

Ralph rarely ever reads, he likes to watch stuff instead- and his favourite movies are NoTLD (ofc it is), The Birds, Psycho, & Friday The 13th. He wasn’t really a big fan of Texas Chain Saw Massacre (Pam was though!)

Pam likes to read old poetry books for comfort, even though half the time she feels like she doesn’t completely understand it, she’s comforted by the words.

14.

Ralph & Pam both are really easy to please, just be nice or within their standards for someone they’d like.

20.

Ralph’s comfort item is that fucking Winchester, sometimes he snuggles with it when he’s drunk.

Pam doesn’t really consider anything her comfort item, but sometimes she’ll sit in the barn and hold one of the random non-sentient/able to be human animals like you’d hold a cat to comfort yourself.

22.

Ralph usually snacks often, and he has a mini fridge stocked with stuff in his room too. He still eats normal meals during the day though.

Pam can go a decent amount of time before eating, but the hungrier she gets the more pissed she’ll be. She usually eats 1-3 big meals/animals in a day and take a nap afterwards if she feels like it.

24.

Ralph can play basketball decently, but his aim is awful and he can never make a basket, he’s also very good at chopping wood

Pam has very sharp teeth and a very strong jaw (even as a human), as a gator she can also deathroll a mf- as a human she can play the trumpet really well

26.

Ralph had a pet dog, Gage, who got hit by a car when he was a wee child

Pam is basically an animal person, she can just go back and forth as she pleases. Damn that tasty well goop.

28.

Ralph would be on Twitter, broadcasting his elaborate bullshit ideas and getting into arguments. He would probably also have lots of other apps but never make accounts for them and forget he downloaded them.

Pam would probably have Instagram and Facebook (she’s like 40 leave her be), she’d avoid any apps that someone like Cooper, Linda, or Billy would use because she considers them a little moody and/or ‘crazy’ and she doesn’t wanna be like that

30.

Ralph, oddly enough, is better in chaotic situations- because he himself is a chaotic dude.

Pam is better in linear situations, she needs time to think and plan and figure out where her morals lie in the moment

32.

Ralph would wear a polo and jeans, he’s not one to dress fancy unless he REALLY has to

Pam would wear something that would definitely be considered a little inappropriate for the situation, but she would rock it anyways because shes Pam

34.

Ralph can drive and is actually decent at it, but he will scream and honk the horn at people if they annoy him

Pam cannot drive but she will definitely pretend like she can

36.

Ralph could always try to kill again- not really a president, but if someone made him snap really bad then wuh woh

Pam’s past alligator lovers have been a fine mix of murderers (20 sank in a lake, 0 found), arsonists (don’t ask how a gator commits arson, they just do), thieves (again, don’t ask), and sad post-divorxe gators. All of various gator genders.

38.

Ralph flops down onto his bed and immediately takes a big ole nap, if he’s feeling up to it he’ll watch a movie, but after a long day he’ll usually just let his radio play

Pam (gator) gets into the pond and sinks to the bottom and stays there for awhile; Pam (human) skinnydips in the pond Maxine-style for a good while

40.

Ralph attempts to track down the mugger to kill them, but because he’s not a master of doxxing people he just ends up failing unless he’s able to catch up to the thief

Pam comforts them as best she can, and tries to make them feel better

42.

Ralph forgets he has a birthday most of the time, he just ends up treating it like a normal day because that’s what his parents did a majority of his life

Pam usually celebrates her birthday by putting a party hat on a bird and then eating it, but when she was a younger gator she would go to epic gator parties to celebrate

44.

I haven’t read a HP book since I was in middle school and I don’t plan to ever again (I wore black for a month cause I was sad and kids called me ‘Snape’. Never again)

46.

Ralph has like a little idea of religion, but he’s mainly fueled by zombie-based superstition.

Pam is fairly agnostic, most gators don’t have a strong sense of faith in any god aside from one that is a very large gator

48.

Ralph is a bit easy to annoy or anger, but it depends on what exactly you say to him, but making him cry is fairly easy if you know where to hit (hint: his beliefs and/or face marks)

Pam isn’t easy to make cry, something really really bad would have to happen for her to start crying, she can easily get angered or annoyed (especially if she’s physically hurt), but she rarely expresses it unless she feels like it

50.

Ralph sleeps really heavy, and aside from the occasional zombie killing fantasy dream he doesn’t really have any (but if he has what he thinks is a ‘premonition’ he will go batshit), but he enjoys staying up late

Pam goes to sleep for short periods of time, usually in water, and is a very light sleeper since she can nearly feel anything that might be happening around her. Sometimes she has dreams, but usually they’re really weird so she never talks about them.

Uvalde shooting victims sue Meta, video game company

Exactly two years after the Uvalde school massacre, families of victims Friday filed multiple state lawsuits in California and Texas against social media giant Meta, Activision — the maker of the popular video game "Call of Duty" — and Daniel Defense, the manufacturer of the AR-15 which the teen gunman used in the shooting.

The wrongful death lawsuits come just two days after the same group of 19 families reached a $2 million settlement with the city of Uvalde over the May 24, 2022, Robb Elementary School massacre, which killed 19 students and two teachers.

One of the two lawsuits was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court against both Activision and Meta – Instagram's parent company.

The second lawsuit, against Daniel Defense, was filed in Uvalde District Court.

The lawsuits were filed by attorney Josh Koskoff, who is also representing the same 19 families who were part of Wednesday's $2 million settlement.

Friday's lawsuits claim that Instagram, Activision and Daniel Defense have been "partnering…in a scheme that preys upon insecure, adolescent boys," attorneys said in a news release.

Attorneys claim that Meta and Activision "enabled and emboldened firearm manufacturers' efforts to expand the market for their weapons by granting unprecedented, direct and 24/7 access to children."

The lawsuits allege that the gunman, on his 18th birthday, purchased the AR-15 used in the Uvalde shooting because "he was targeted and cultivated online by Instagram, Activision and Daniel Defense. This three-headed monster knowingly exposed him to the weapon, conditioned him to see it as a tool to solve his problems and trained him to use it," Koskoff said in a statement.

According to the lawsuits, the Uvalde gunman downloaded "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" in November 2021, and had been playing previous iterations of "Call of Duty" since he was 15 years old.

The video game prominently features a model of the AR-15, known as DDM4V7, that was used in the shooting, the lawsuits allege.

"Simultaneously, on Instagram, the shooter was being courted through explicit, aggressive marketing," attorneys said. "In addition to hundreds of images depicting and venerating the thrill of combat, Daniel Defense used Instagram to extol the illegal, murderous use of its weapons."

On April 27, 2022, attorneys say, the gunman created an account with Daniel Defense and added a DDM4V7 to his online cart.

Then on May 16, 2022, just 23 minutes after midnight on his 18th birthday, he purchased the weapon — just eight days before the Uvalde shooting.

In an interview with CBS News Friday, Koskoff said that the two lawsuits are "working in concert with each other."

"Instagram creates a connection between …an adolescent …and the gun and a gun company," Koskoff said. "And nobody exploited Instagram for this purpose more than Daniel Defense. If Instagram can prevent people from posting pictures of their private parts, they can prevent people from posting pictures of an AR-15. And of course, Instagram doesn't care. They don't care. All they care about is driving traffic and generating attention, drawing attention and getting their ad revenue."

In a statement provided to CBS News, an Activision spokesperson said the "Uvalde shooting was horrendous and heartbreaking in every way, and we express our deepest sympathies to the families and communities who remain impacted by this senseless act of violence. Millions of people around the world enjoy video games without turning to horrific acts."

The same group of families also said Wednesday they are filing a $500 million federal lawsuit against nearly 100 state police officers who took part in the botched law enforcement response to the shooting, along with former Robb Elementary School principal Mandy Gutierrez and Pete Arredondo, the school district's police chief who was fired months after the shooting.

Lawsuits flooded courthouses ahead of Uvalde shooting anniversary

On the second anniversary of the Robb Elementary School shooting, families of victims and survivors filed a lawsuit accusing Instagram, the creator of the video game "Call of Duty" and a gun manufacturer of driving an 18-year-old high school dropout to carry out the rampage.

The complaint accuses the companies of an forming an "unholy trinity" over the last 15 years "that preys upon insecure, adolescent boys," according to a news release.

The lawsuit targets Meta, parent company of Instagram, Activision, maker of "Call of Duty," and Daniel Defense of Georgia, which manufactured the assault-style rifle the gunman used to kill 19 fourth graders and two teachers and wound others on May 24, 2022 in Uvalde.

"Meta and Activision, through products that count millions of teenagers and pre-teens as users, have enabled and emboldened firearm manufacturers’ efforts to expand the market for their weapons by granting unprecedented, direct and 24/7 access to children," attorneys said.

The lawsuit — filed by Connecticut lawyer Josh Koskoff and the San Antonio law firm Guerra LLP —was among at least 10 filed in Uvalde state court and Del Rio federal court this week as lawyers rushed to beat a two-year statute of limitations on some claims.

The new wave of litigation blames dozens of companies, public institutions and individuals for the massacre and law enforcement's botched response.

Some lawsuits were brought by families who had a loved one killed, injured or traumatized inside the two interconnected classrooms where the gunman carried out his rampage.

Others were filed by teachers or parents of students who were in other areas of the school during the shooting.

At least one of the suits targets the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District, blaming administrators, teachers and even janitors for missteps that allowed the shooter to enter the school through unlocked doors and fed the confusion that prevailed during and after the massacre.

Another names as defendants the shooter's estate and members of his family, including the grandmother he gravely wounded minutes before carrying out the school shooting.

The lawsuit also targets Motorola Solutions, maker of the radios and other communications equipment used by local officers;

Schneider Electric, manufacturer of the school's door locks;

and Raptor Technologies, maker of the crisis alert system the school district used until April of this year, when it switched to another company.

Some of the suits go after Daniel Defense and Oasis Outback, the Uvalde gun store that handled the gun transfer.

The shooter bought the rifle online; a transfer is required for internet gun sales.

The suits also pursue claims against police agencies that responded to the shooting and, in some cases, individual officers, such as the school district's then-police chief, Pedro "Pete" Arredondo, who was widely considered the on-scene commander.

The Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas Rangers, which is an arm of DPS, are named in at least four lawsuits.

Attorney Josh Koskoff speaks during a press conference held at the SSGT Willie de Leon Civic Center on Wednesday, May 22, 2024, in Uvalde, Texas, a couple days before the 2-year mark of the mass shooting that killed 19 fourth-graders and two teachers.

The city of Uvalde has agreed to a $2 million settlement with 19 families of victims killed or injured in the 2022 Robb Elementary mass shooting.

Attorney Josh Koskoff speaks during a press conference held at the SSGT Willie de Leon Civic Center on Wednesday, May 22, 2024, in Uvalde, Texas, a couple days before the 2-year mark of the mass shooting that killed 19 fourth-graders and two teachers.

But only one so far targets any of the federal agencies that arrived at the school that day.

Attorney Justin Williams of Corpus Christi sued the Border Patrol on behalf of teachers and parents of students who were at Robb that day but not in either of the classrooms with the shooter.

A Border Patrol tactical unit confronted and killed the gunman more than an hour after he entered the school.

Nearly 400 local, county and state law enforcement officers stood by for 77 minutes while fourth-graders and their teachers were trapped with the gunman.

Officers waited even after learning that at least two children had called 911 from inside the classrooms pleading for help.

Koskoff announced on Wednesday a $2 million settlement with the city of Uvalde over its officers' response the day of the shooting.

He said he and other attorneys are close to finalizing a separate $2 million settlement with Uvalde County over its deputies' response.

His team filed one of the suits against DPS, the Texas Rangers and the companies that provided services to the school district.

Koskoff, who handled successful lawsuits against a gun manufacturer over the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, said next up will be a lawsuit targeting the federal government.

"We had over 150-some odd federal officers that also were there and stood around during the 77 minutes until one or more reached the shooter," he said.

This week's filings added to a growing tangle of Robb shooting-related litigation.

At least four federal lawsuits were filed in 2022 against a spate of parties, including Daniel Defense, the city of Uvalde, Uvalde County, the Uvalde school district, police agencies and individual officers, including Arredondo, and former Uvalde police Lt. Mariano Pargas.

LAWSUIT FILING

Lawsuit:

Uvalde shooter faithfully reenacted ‘Call of Duty’ scenario

Faith Mata spends time at her sister Tess Mata’s gravesite at Hillcrest Cemetery on Friday afternoon, May 24, 2024, in Uvalde, Texas.

Friday marked two years since Tess and 20 other people were killed by an 18-year-old gunman inside Robb Elementary School.

The teenage gunman who slaughtered 21 people at a Uvalde elementary school in 2022 was acting out elements of a “Call of Duty” video game, using a rifle, an aiming device and even a line of dialogue featured in the game, according to a lawsuit filed on behalf of the victims’ families.

Eight days before the May 24, 2022, massacre at Robb Elementary School, the 18-year-old went online to buy a Daniel Defense DDM4V7S semi-automatic rifle, the same model featured on the title page of “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare,” a video game he played obsessively, the lawsuit says.

As depicted in the game, the rifle is equipped with an EOTech sight, a sophisticated optical device developed for U.S. special operations forces.

The shooter, determined “to replicate this weapon for use in his attack,” purchased the same sight and used it at Robb Elementary, the suit contends.

He also searched online for a smoke grenade, a second rifle sight and other accessories featured in the game, according to the suit.

“The Shooter tracked down items for which he had no need … because of their connection to ‘Call of Duty,’ ” the complaint states, adding that the teenager went so far as to borrow a scripted line from the video game.

“When the Shooter entered Classroom 112, he approached one of the teachers, said 'good night,' and shot her in the head,” according to the suit. “‘Good night’ is a catch phrase from ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.’

Captain Price, a famous and recurring character in the franchise, is known to say ‘good night’ when the player kills an enemy.”

Nineteen fourth-graders and two teachers were killed in the shooting.

The lawsuit names as defendants Activision, publisher of the “Call of Duty” game franchise; its parent company, Microsoft; Instagram and its corporate parent, Meta Platforms Inc. (formerly Facebook); and other individuals and businesses.

The complaint was filed in state court in California, where Activision and Meta are headquartered.

It was part of a renewed flurry of civil litigation launched last week as the second anniversary of the massacre approached.

The plaintiffs filed separate suits in Texas against Georgia-based Daniel Defense, the manufacturer of the assault rifle; the Uvalde gun store where the shooter picked up his online purchases; the Texas Department of Public Safety, whose officers responded to the shooting; the Uvalde school district; and numerous other parties.

The 115-page complaint against Activision and Instagram contends that the two companies and Daniel Defense formed “an unholy trinity” to market combat weapons to isolated, insecure adolescent boys, even though they knew doing so would increase the risk of mass shootings.

In a statement, Activision expressed sympathy for those affected by the “horrendous and heartbreaking” Robb Elementary shooting, but added, “Millions of people around the world enjoy video games without turning to horrific acts.”

Meta and Daniel Defense have offered no public response to the lawsuit.

Attorney Josh Koskoff outlines litigation he has filed on behalf of families of the victims of the May 24, 2022, mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.

The suit was filed by Koskoff Koskoff & Bieder, a Connecticut law firm that negotiated a $73 million settlement on behalf of the families of the victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, in which 20 children and six adults were killed by a 20-year-old gunman.

The settlement was with Remington, the manufacturer of the Bushmaster rifle used by the killer.

At Sandy Hook, the shooter also was a devoted player of “Call of Duty,” and, like his Uvalde counterpart, he carried out his massacre with an assault rifle and while wearing tactical gear, the lawsuit says.

The Uvalde shooter downloaded “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare” in November 2021, seven months before the Robb Elementary shooting.

The game featured the Daniel Defense DDM4V7 on its opening title page, the lawsuit says.

The suit accuses Instagram of allowing Daniel Defense and other weapons manufacturers to circumvent its formal restrictions on gun advertising to flood users’ feeds with images glorifying gun violence.

According to the suit, Daniel Defense has posted on Instagram images of a man dressed as Santa Claus holding an assault rifle, of a father at a shooting range with a young boy who is aiming an assault rifle and of a mother with a boy standing behind a rifle scope.

“In one particularly memorable, and disturbing, example, Daniel Defense posted an image of a toddler holding an assault rifle with the biblical caption: ‘Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it,'” the complaint says.

“That image was posted on May 16 (2022), the same day the Uvalde shooter purchased his assault rifle from Daniel Defense, and eight days before” the massacre.

The teenager “had an unhealthy, likely obsessive, relationship with Instagram” and had at least 20 different accounts on the social media platform, the suit says.

On a day when Daniel Defense promoted the DDM4V7 on Instagram, he opened the Instagram app on his phone more than 100 times, the suit contends.

Kimberly Mata-Rubio listens as lawyer Josh Koskoff describes civil litigation he has filed on behalf of families of the victims of the May 24, 2022, mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde. Mata-Rubio's daughter, Alexandria "Lexi" Rubio, 10, was among the victims.

The complaint seeks both compensatory and punitive damages.

It accuses Activism of negligence in its development and marketing of “Call of Duty” and of knowingly making and marketing a defective product.

The plaintiffs allege that Meta turned a blind eye to the “illegal, unlawful, and wrongful marketing of firearms to minors.”

The police response to the Robb Elementary shooting has spawned a separate string of lawsuits, as well as bitter recriminations in Uvalde, a city of 15,000 about 80 miles west of San Antonio.

Nearly 400 officers from two dozen local, state and federal agencies responded to the incident, but it took 77 minutes before a column of officers led by a Border Patrol tactical unit stormed the classroom and killed the shooter.

Some of the victims bled to death waiting for police to rescue them, a U.S. Justice Department review found.

Hotline Miami:

From the few videos I watched, it is a high-action game that includes an extreme amount of violence, the player gets calls to go to different places, they have to massacre absolutely everyone there, scoring points for things like: how quickly they do it, combo multipliers, etc

I also downloaded this game and played it a little bit, for how simple it is, it does contain a lot, it's quite difficult too, but I still found a few things that I like about it - the game is very fast-paced, but the story itself doesn't progress too quickly - it has stealth mechanics, however the reaction time of the enemies is so small that it means the player has to be very careful with what they do otherwise they enemies will almost instantly kill the player.

Are you still doing that New Vegas chainsaw massacre run? If yes, how's it goin'?

oh i started it a few days ago, but then i realized “hey wait i literally downloaded all of these extra gameplay/post game mods, i should do a regular play through of it first” so i made another save file to do that while i play the other one on the side

however currently:

his name is sparky, he is a patrick bateman sort of dude who is great at manipulating people but doesn’t really have any real goal so he’s just fucking around

i’ll get his special in a minute, i’m sleepy form my period
