#idk which outdated mod is causing it

Been trying to read Jules Verne's Journey to the Moon because it was one of my grandfather's favorite books, but it's also just fuckin chalk full of technical details about the orbit of the moon that I have already memorized for class ages ago and I am wondering if it is maybe the compilation of technical details that he loved more than the story.

[kurain-genealogy]

I don't keep up with fnaf drama but I'm nosy, what happened if I might ask?

ok umm. so. 2 separate situations, one of which was speedran.

first, The Talbert Files

this is something that was first discovered about a year ago apparently (i wasn't aware), but popped up again more prominently in the last few days.

basically, the talbert files is a community nickname given for a very very early draft of the freddy files that was leaked. entom on twitter, a reliable source for book leaks in particular, saw it, and several of his friends/other prominent names in the fnaftwt community apparently also saw it ("the talbert group").

i don't know the exact timeline of when or how things happened, but it recently was brought up again, i think some of it leaked or something, and everyone who had been in the know about the talbert files vehemently claimed that it was their group fanfiction, it was just something between friends and wasn't real.

then like a day later someone leaked/posted their dms (without permission) with entom that basically confirmed the talbert files were real. the talbert group relented and admitted it was real.

entom's dms getting leaked + receiving harassment caused him to deactivate their account

a pdf that described the books contents started going around, and it's filled with some CRAZY stuff. it begins with an email sent to scott cawthon about the leak and what they should do with it - he explained that it's essentially a bunch of ideas rather than a coherent story, it was obviously scrapped, and they can do what they want with it (when it comes to making it public or not). actual lore contents of the book include the MCI kids' last names, phone guy's name, michael afton originally being the stitchwraith, cassidy being both the puppet and golden freddy somehow, and a bunch more. it is basically all outdated and None of it should be considered canon. you can check it out here if you want

so because it felt basically confirmed, people were talking about it. but then scott cawthon makes some comments, and then an official post on reddit, saying that it's fake.

cue the talbert group on twitter losing their SHIT and doubling down on it being real, and that scott is either lying or Forgot or something. like all of them are so diehard on this that i can't believe they're lying? so all in all it's been settled that they're fake via word of god, but i still have some doubt because. what is this situation???

TL;DR: scrapped book draft leaked, those who knew about it insisted it was fanfiction in a cia type coverup, dms leak confirming they're real, it's the talk of the town for a bit, then scott cawthon makes a statement that they're actually fake, but fanfic-coverup group insists they were real the whole time.

meanwhile...

the PinkyPills situation

pinkypills is an artist that has been doing official work for fnaf for YEARS (all of the freddy in space games visuals, the silver eyes graphic novel, a handful of book covers for FF/TFTPP such as tiger rock).

she has a number of allegations towards her that i won't go into, but you can read it all here (ranges from p/doish weirdness to art tracing to generally being a whiny weirdo bitch). the freddit mods wrote up this whole thing and pinned the thread. several times the community has rallied to try to get her fired.

following scott's statement on the talbert files situation, several people were annoyed that he addressed that within a few days, but nothing about pinkypills.

like an hour later, he makes a post addressing it. basically saying like "idk the full extent but she deserves a second chance ok." got downvoted to hell

another hour passes. pinkypills posts this to twitter:

so she suddenly is resigning herself ? lmao. she also posted a vid on twitter where she is/was crying

then scott posts an update on reddit saying basically the same thing, that she chose to step away.

the timing makes it seem like he did indeed ask/tell her to not. be involved anymore. but who's to say.

regardless, people are happy she's gone, but extremely disappointed in how scott handled everything (seemingly not looking into things before posting, maybe not being entirely truthful, not outwardly condemning a p/do weirdo that works for him even tho he's done that Before, whatever)

and just a few months ago there was another drama thing where someone on reddit posted screenshots and very real looking screen recordings of an email with scott that basically confirmed talesgames and stitchlinegames. the community was On Fire for a bit until scott showed up to make comments like "guys, that wasn't fucking me." but then when asked about the canonicity of the books he gave another "Yes" ass answer that isn't an answer at all, and that kept people arguing for another few days.

[an0nymousghost]

my answers to simblr asks v1 because i don’t think i did a mass post like this. 

1. how big is your mods folder? 15 gb, i don’t have my giant hair folder in rn

2. how would you describe your style? maxis-match, reshade/cartoony/dof aesthetic

3. what is your favorite challenge? 100bc obviously. and those completionist ones that take 400 years to finish

4. do you make cc? if so, what kind? age conversions of hair and recolors. and once in a blue moon i convert earrings or something

5. what type of cc do you hoard? hair, always and forever. my hair folder is sooo organized but i dont keep it in my game because it is very hard to find anything; there’s literally over 1000 items in the catalogue. also this is just female hair, for kids/toddler i use my own stuff and there’s really not enough male hair for me to mass hoard

6. what default eyes and skin do you use? intoxicated v2 - i’ll use this for the rest of my life emerald eyes by forgottengrotto

7. how many urls have you had, and what are the meanings behind them?

i have had 4:

celeschul - a play on “celestial” because that’s how you pronounce it an0nymousghost - the 8th level of the criminal: oracle career stardze - relating to astrology (star daze) teauke - sounds cool i guess; also i really wanted a short name

i don’t think i’ll change my url anytime in the future because it would be very annoying with all the broken links. i personally hate it when blogs have broken links so i don’t want to add to the problem. also, an0nymousghost is such a nice simblr url, it’s actually got a connection to the actual game. it is already confusing enough with the an0nymousghost/celeschul thing, but that’s mainly just because an0nymousghost is a long url and doesn’t really fit on package titles or thumbnails

8. who is your favorite gameplay blog? i have a personal blog and on there i only follow my faves: @leafykii, solarlemonade, ratboysims, @simprising​, myshunos, @aridridge, @whimsyblue. 

9. who is your favorite storytelling blog? idk i dont follow stories

10. who is your favorite cc creator? im not super involved in cc rn but aharris00britney and clumsyalienn who does those beautiful hair strands. oh yes and myself of course 

11. how do you edit your photos? reshade + action + psd. it’s complicated but the reshade takes 0 effort and ive struggled with editing forEVER im happy with this one

12. what is the last screenshot you took? idk im on my macbook 

this is the last screenshot on my mac LUL. rip to this hair which has been a wip for 10 million years. 

13. what do you do when you are unmotivated? nothing; right now is a good example. i have a queue so you probably can’t tell, but i’m super unmotivated to do anything. like i could make cc or play ts4 but i really just don’t want to (that’s why im writing this). idk why, but either it’ll pass or my blog will be dead forever. xo

14. who is your current favorite sim? i said the fae sisters for my other post but i really like noelle’s husband claye! i think my female sims are always wayyy more attractive than my male sims, but claye might pull in front of noelle tbh. he looks much better with the emerald eyes (the cartoony ones) 

also i consider all my sims to be good people, and claye’s kindness comes from him always taking care of leila and israel because noelle is off at work and such. oh and noelle’s way more...experienced than him when it comes to relationships

15. who is your current favorite sim that is not by you? no one really comes to mind, i haven’t been focused on like one specific sim lately

16. recreate someone else’s sim in your style. nah

17. do you talk about sims with people in real life? yeah. i don’t want to keep secrets from my friends (i used to have a secret ig account and it was a cause of major stress) so i just mention it in passing. honestly if they’re not cool with me having a sims blog, we can’t be friends. none of my irl friends play sims tho :( 

18. how many of the packs do you own? 23/38 or something along those lines

19. how many posts do you have on your blog currently? 1665. i have more followers than posts, something that i never achieved ever on my old blog because i had like 4 gazillion posts

20. how many drafts do you have on your blog currently? 7, they’re all just shitposts or asks 

21. how many posts are in your queue currently? 17

22. have you ever moved blogs? 2 times. celeschul -> stardze -> an0nymousghost. also i moved my multifandom sideblog once but that url has changed soo many times

23. are you in any sims related discord servers? yeah. though, i cant stand discord for a totally-unrelated-to-sims reason

24. what are your thoughts on the most recent pack? (paranormal) this is an outdated question but i still do not care about this pack. lol

25. how many hours have you played sims? 1039 hours

26. if you play gameplay, do you play with mods? yes, a lot

27. what’s the farthest you’ve gotten in a challenge? 100bc, i got to like 56/100 kids in my first attempt. this is TECHNICALLY farther than random nightmares, which i feel like i completed more of but i only did 50% of that challenge. i wrote on my blog that i completed random nightmares but in my heart, it’s not complete until 10 generations. so i just said that to make myself feel better. i’ll do a season 2 sometime...sometime

[vaulttecvevo]

hey, i figured it was worth a shot to send this message, but most of the mods in your recommended list are outdated/broken or causes a lot of problems for your game! id recommend you look into vivanewvegas . github . io/avoid-mods . html for info

oh im well aware of what mods to avoid and why, been doing this for a while, but its cool someone made a list

the only mods from that list i have are fco and v22 flora. fco is just used as a req by nvr3 and then by qnvr3 so it and its bugs are entirely overwritten, and v22 runs smooth as butter ive never had problems w it

idk what you mean by outdated, a lot of them are relatively new or have been updated fairly recently to use xNVSE and others are simple texture/mesh/animation replacers that dont ever need updates

as for being broken, im sure some of the code isnt as clean as it could be but as long as they do what it says on the tin without crashing or stuttering i cant complain, handling that is what NVTF, NVAC, and heap replacer are for, the only times my game ever crashes is some of the quest/new lands mods

i Will acquiesce one point. one of the mods did make all dogs in my game invisible and i cannot for the life of me figure out which one. and i dont mean red triangle missing textures or meshes, they exist but are entirely see-through and giving them new textures does not fix it :|

[mellz117]

Hi! I’m Mellz and I’m starting up Kingdom Hearts 2 on the PlayStation 2! 

Just below are links to the first parts of my previous Kingdom Hearts plays.

[ KH1 ] _ [ Re:CoM Sora ] _ [ KH Re:CoM Riku ]

It’s been a hot minute, like 3,155,763 smoldering hot minutes, which would be 6 years including leap years. Yeah it was 01/27/2014 last I touched this game, exactly 6 years ago to this day (01/27/2020) as of me starting up again. This was an accident.

Guide thingy: Things like long gaps between commentary and days will be separated by a line of dots like that ->  ……

Text relating to an image posted will have a blockquote either above and/or below the image

Dialogue exchanges will also be separated by a blockquote

Ok I'm playing on standard difficulty, if I'm having a hard time, then I just suck. If you’re reading this and haven’t experienced KH2 for yourself, why are you here? Go away, there’s spoilers for things that aren’t revealed until later.

SO LET’S JUST JUMP INTO IT

……………………………………………………………………………………………

I always liked this fancy CGI opening. There’s a lot of things I missed last I saw it.

IT’S HIM. Look how cute he is! 

So we start off with a recap of Kingdom Hearts via a dream it seems and our protagonist, my precious boy Roxas, wakes up his own home all alone because apparently DiZ didn't create a digital family for him. But KH is notorious for forgetting parents, so maybe they did. I’m not Cinema Sins so I wont ping this game for not giving Roxas fake parents lmao

In the next scene Roxas is more interested in his own hands than he is in his friends' conversation. 

blurry ring textures, blurry checker pattern. Not everything holds up well on a flat screen TV

He hasn't been paying attention so he's just as confused as the player is at this point when he finally takes his attention off his hands.

This dialogue is so early 2000's. KH1 and CoM avoided this but with the urban setting of Twilight Town it's DEFINITELY noticeable and outdated. So rumors have spread about Roxas, Hayner, Pence, and Olette that photographs are being stolen, and THEY'RE the theives. Who is the operator of the rumor mill? Seifer and his posse. Also the actual WORD is gone too, they try to say “photo” but it just DOESN’T EXIST. This is where the game gets a bit odd.

TUTORIALS GALORE. I JUST WANT TO PAUSE AND CHANGE THE CAMERA CONTROLS STOP TELLING ME ABOUT MY NEXT OBJECTIVE but no no it’s telling me how to lock on, control my camera, context sensitive buttons, etc 

This girl’s dress looks like shes wearing a bra over it 

I like how the animal AI hasn't changed at all in this entire series. And by like I mean hate, KH3 doesn't change that. Sven is as boring as this cat we have to look at.

The gang heads to the sandlot where Seifer, Fuujn, Raijin, and Vivi like to hang out I guess? Vivi is a little, solid black, wizard dwarf amongst all these regular humans and no one bats an eye. This shit is normal. Seifer with his stupid Seto Kaiba jacket, shows up to further accuse Roxas and his friends of stealing photos, one specifically of Roxas flat on his face and Seifer standing triumphantly over him (which we’re actually shown later). "That was undeniable proof that we totally owned you lamers" he says in regards to it and challenges Roxas to a rematch.

A+ dialogue

Seifer. My dude, ya dumb-dumb. If you think for one second that I'm gonna let my boy lose to you, you are sorely mistaken. 

“If you get on your knees and beg, maybe I’ll let it slide.” Seifer says and Roxas plays it slick, taking a knee and looking through a convenient selection of foam weapons. Battle ensues.

So of course I win because Seifer is a pleb, and Pence takes a commemorative ______ of Roxas's sound victory, but oh no! Something stole the camera right out of Pence's hands! Roxas gives chase, because apparently he's the only one who cares enough to do so, and confronts the actual thief, a Dusk type Nobody. Roxas is taking this creature encounter rather calmly. Like mild confusion at most.

I hate these things, they're creepy. When you do a reversal on them they like, plant their hands on the ground behind them and their legs wrap around their arms while they spaz out. Ughghdhahh

Of course Roxas's foam bat doesnt cause any damage to the Dusk, and suddenly a familiar giant key digitally manifests in his hands. DiZ is installing mods I see. I have a Keyblade mod in Skyrim, so we have something in common.

After we defeat the thief the next scene shows the gang at the usual spot with the recovered photos. Ok ok so was "photo" the only word deleted from the vocabulary or were any other alternative words taken away too? Like, if they could have said "picture" this whole time, they would have had much less stupid sounding dialogue exchanges. Whatever lmao.

“Tell us about the picture thief.”

“Not much to say. The pictures were just lying there.”

You liar. Tell them about how you fought a wormy, white boy.

Pence notices all the pics are of Roxas and speculates the picture thief wanted to take the REAL Roxas and Hayner is like

The best friendships are ones where you can take jabs at each other and know there’s no malice intended.

 In the scene thereafter, the kids go their separate ways, the evening(?) sun assaults Roxas's eyes, and whenever he closes them he gets another vision? Idk what time of day it is it always looks the same.

God ok as someone who hadn’t played CoM before playing KH2 for the first time, I must have been SUPER lost regarding who DiZ and Namine were and why Sora is in the pod. More recaps of KH1: I don’t know why they found it necessary to redub over the old voices with the new actors in these flashbacks.

Moving on. Roxas learns what the Keyblade is through his dreams. On his way to meet up with his friends, he tries summoning the Keyblade with a stick, when that doesn’t work he carelessly throws it aside and it hits this cloak clad man behind him. This dude is either completely unfazed by that is or so offended he can’t even say anything and walks away before he goes all Karen on Roxas’s ass.

We’re back at the usual spot and summer vacation is nearing it’s end. Hayner wants to go to the beach before school is back in session! You poor fuckers...

Same, dude. I’m waiting on my tax returns, looking forward to that.

SKATEBOARD

“TO DEFEAT THE HUNSSSSSSS!”

Pretzels at the beach? Salty and not refreshing. I got you fam, I’ll make enough money for a watermelon. Roxas is so poor omg... How much is 150 Munny in American currency?

Just BEAT the cargo with a foam bat. What’s IN the bag? Is it trash? Clothes? Is it potentially breakable? Next. Time to beat some bees!

So Poster Duty was my go-to job in this game in the past because you could get 100 Munny if you did well. But now that I’m older I realized how annoying it is. I had an efficient route planned out, hit as many of the 3 poster placements in that route, and be over and done with that in about 1:10....

But then Roxas goes aND DOES THIS!

FUCKING SKIPS THE ONE DIRECTLY NEXT TO HIM, DEFYING GRAVITY IN FAVOR OF THE POSTS BELOW

HE DOES THIS CONSISTENTLY!! I do have a live reaction to this but it’s too big for tumblr. I’ll have it up on youtube one of these days

Eventually I stopped sticking posters to walls and became a mailman until the game made me stop.

Black-clad man is back with his own stick! Oof, Roxas eats the pavement and is manhandled by cloaky boy. WAS THIS ROUGH TREATMENT REALLY THAT NECESSARY? You might wanna treat Sora's Nobody with a little more respect. AND YOU STOLE HIS HARD-EARNED MONEY! YOU BASTARD!

The gang is on the clock tower, very dangerously high up. Wtf what if someone falls?! Roxas feels so guilty about what happened and Hayner gets over this little fiasco pretty quickly and the next day he already has another fun plan.

……………………………………………………………………………………………

On his way to the station, Roxas crosses paths with Pence and Olette, the latter two freeze and Roxas meets Namine. Is her interest in Roxas linked to her desire to be Sora’s friend? A strange girl tells Roxas she wanted to meet him “at least once” and he doesn’t know what to do lol. Namine doesn’t stay long, leaving Roxas with his confusion. What is going through his head? A girl he doesn’t know seems to know him well enough to want to see him. Pence and Olette unfreeze after Namine is out of the shot. Pence and Olette have such a cute relationship, I’d love for them to be siblings. Pence goes shopping with her even if he might not want to. I can relate, I hate clothes shopping.

These Dusks don’t seem like too much of a threat tbh, they just kinda swagger slowly towards Roxas and grab his hand. Roxas hardly struggles to escape to the sandlot.

Chicken wuss

WE FINALLY GET SOMEWEHERE, we end up on the stained glass pillars in the Station of Serenity (?). Time to grind for like 5 minutes because this giant noodle boy already killed me once.

This thing really unsettles me. All the creature Nobodies do! They’re all twitchy and stretchy. DISGUSTING

DAMN THAT IS A HIGH FALL HOW DO YOU SURVIVE THAT?!

Upon defeat, this big noodle boy falls on top of Roxas and Namine saves him from being enveloped by darkness.

Namine really seems to like to silence him. First she shoves her hand in his face but that was too forward. This time she daintily places a finger over her lips and says her part. Black-cloak guy shows up, rough handles Namine a little bit but not as roughly as he did Roxas. AND SHOVES ROXAS INTO A PORTAL

SEIFER IS AN OPPORTUNISTIC SHITLET POSING IN FRONT OF HIS UNCONSIOUS BODY. Bitch you didn’t earn that. Hayner, Pence, and Olette see Roxas with Seifer’s gang, Hayner feels betrayed thinking Roxas ghosted him in favor of Seifer. He stays pretty salty about it for a good while

IM NOT WORKING ON THIS LIKE I SHOULD. ITS ALMOST A MONTH SINCE STARTING. In my next post we'll be "Struggling" to progress. Eh? Eh? Get it? Like the tournament?

I'm not funny.

Here’s the next part: [ _2_ ]

Below is a compilation of my live reactions and comments throughout this point of the game.

[duskariesrye]

Anonymous said:Umm idk if it's the weekend where y'all ate but can I have a matchup? I also don't know if you guys write for female creepypasta so if not, a matchup for a platonic relationship with one of the Spicey Bois. I'm a black (and very proud ✊🏽) lesbian who's aiming to become a veterinarian because of my low empathy and sympathy towards humans but very high empathy towards all animals. I have psychotic depression, bpd, and GAD, also loves memes and gardening. Can be sweet... thats a rare thing tho 😆

(We consider weekends friday(after work)-sunday. Don’t worry! We don’t judge, Mon Alex is a lesbian themself, this blog is open to everyone-mod alex)

     Romantically we ship you with.....Natalie/Clockwork! Now at first a relationship between the two of you might seem strange, you appear to be someone who is confident in themselves and won’t let themselves be pushed away. Natalie is the same way, she’s is stubborn when listening to other people and doesn’t take advice well, which I could see causing a fight between you two. But this doesn’t have to always be negative, Natalie will like your strong personality and respect you. You say you dont’ like many people? Natalie is the same, she can make to be a fun friend if you can gain her trust who will stick by your side loyally if you prove to be worth her time. 

    It won’t take long to notice that Natalie has her own personal monsters, she suffers from depression herself since she was a teenager and will be able to understand how you feel to a degree. Everyone has a different life story and won’t compare you two, but will be understanding at the most. Though, if the two of you fail to communicate with eachother during these periods you might find yourself becoming distant from eachother. This could seriously  harm your relationship if both fail to meet eachother half way.

    Natalie hasn’t done much gardening in her life, or none at all actually. But if you like it enough she doesn’t mind you starting your own garden as long as it doens’t take up too much space. It will give you a hobby to keep yourself occupied on the days that she is busy, while also giving you a hobby you can try to share with her. 

    Both of you will try to out meme eachother often , Natalie grew up using the internet a lot so she knows a lot of different memes. Now that she is older she doesn’t always pick up on the new memes so she might send you a few outdated ones. But don’t worry, she is sure to make you laugh. It’s rare for Natalie to give a true smile, but somehow you manage to make her do it. Your relationship is sure to be filled with fun, respect, loyalty, the occasionally argument lol, and understanding as long as you guys communicate. For this relationship communication will be a key factor. 

Other possible romantic relationships: Zero

-Mod Alex ~ 

Platonically, we ship you with Hobo Heart. You would both get along quite well, as he too adores animals and tries to help them as much as he can. That being said get ready for random creatures being brought to you if he needs help saving them.  You would also enjoy silently judging human beings for their actions and attitudes. He doesnt particularly care for people, either. 

He would also adapt the role as peace keeper between you and Natalie, and will always be a listening ear for either one of you. He will give you the best, most well thought out advice and help you both see the situation from all aspects.  When the two of you are fighting, he will be there ready to listen when you are ready to talk about it, he will also try to cam you down to avoid saying anything you might regret. Alongside Natalie, Heart will listen intently to you whenever your GAD or Depression gets bad. The two of them will be sure to prevent anything from happening to you. 

He is also and incredibly protective best friend and will rip the heart out of any one who has anything to say about you, no matter what its about if its negative, he will take care of it.   Afterwards he will be sure to send you plenty of fresh spicy memes, some of which he makes himself so he knows you and Natalie have never seen them before. 

The two of you both enjoy gardening, which will quickly become your favorite best friend pass time activity. And he will often times bring along different seeds and flowers that you two dont have in your shared garden already, along with different decorations he thinks the three of you will enjoy looking at. 

He cares about you deeply, and will always be by your side no matter the weather! 

Other potential match up: Eyeless Jack.
