tbh i wish moldy got worse. she deserved to go down like azula and i love her for that

Oh I agree with that honestly, Moldy would've been really interesting if she got worse as well!! However they chose to make her improve herself and in a way that didn't really make sense. The post was mostly about what they COULD'VE done. Moldy and Circle could've been interesting if Moldy got worse as well mm ... I'm really glad Moldy suffers consequences to her actions. Her death is caused by her OWN decision and not anyone else's, it's great. - Mod Sun

SAME SAME!!! Another way to approach Charlotte's character would be to make her get worse instead of better, maybe slowly treating the contestants the way she treated Parker the more stressed she got over the situation. I would've preferred that or her improving differently much more than what happened in canon. If Charlotte is going to be redeemed, I feel she has to earn this, and if she actively makes things worse for herself the narrative should rightfully punish her for that. It sucks we got a middle ground where nothing clear is done with her character instead. Man, if only she learned a good lesson from this hellish competition. That would've made her arc matter.

-Mod Fractal

I don't know how Azula went down, unfortunately, but you're not wrong in the Slightest. If she had gotten worse it would've been a lot more interesting than canon!!!

For the IPv6 map just imagine the XP default desktop picture.

Map of the Internet [Explained]

Transcript Under the Cut

Map of the Internet The IPv4 Space, 2006This chart shows the IP address space on a plane using a fractal mapping which preserves grouping--any consecutive string of IPs will translate to a single, compact, contiguous region on the map. Each of the 256 numbered blocks represents one 8 subnet (containing all IPs that start with that number). The upper left section shows the blocks sold directly to corporations and goverments in the 1990's before the RIRs took over allocation.

Group B Round 2

[image ID: the first image is of Hikaru, a boy with white hair, wearing a short sleeve button up shirt, tucked into dark pants, and carrying a backpack. he's holding up 2 fingers in a peace sign. the second image is of Coworker, a man with short brown hair. he's wearing a suit and tie. end ID]

Hikaru

technically he isnt the real hikaru, hes a strange melty fractal creature that cant be fully perceived that took over the original hikaru's body after he died in the mountains [additional propaganda 1]

Chase Beckley/Coworker

[mod note: I've been informed that this character's name changes very often in the game, and the creator refers to him just as 'Coworker.' Chase Beckley is one of the names this character uses] Office worker going through The Horrors He dies a lot and has a terrible time, once he finally escapes The Horrors, guess what! They Do Not end!

[homoeroticfisticuffs]

wip wednesday

(this is from the same work i posted last week, because i've had so little time to write lately </3 this follows immediately after my last wip!) (word count: 1033)

She couldn’t deny that he had intrigued her right from the very start, initially being somewhat impressed by his combat skills and his affinity for his thief’s gadgets. He wasn’t like other men she had fought on typical jobs like this who would just try to use brute force to outmatch her; he was smart in the way that he fought, and probably would have beaten her if it hadn’t been for Rocket and Groot and their subsequent shared capture by the Nova Corps.

She found, reluctantly, that it was extremely easy to talk to him. Just a few minutes alone with him on a balcony in Knowhere had her spilling her whole life story to him, and earning his in return. She had never experienced that before, that honest kind of openness and closeness with someone else. Before she knew it he was showing her his music, the number one most treasured thing to him, putting the very item on her head that he had risked his own skin and bones to get back before their departure from the Kyln. It was almost overwhelming, and it was virtually impossible to resist when he gently cradled her hand in his and slowly leaned in for a kiss.

But she knew who she was, and more importantly who he was, and she knew she had absolutely no time to deal with his tricks at a time like this. So she put her blade to his throat, and that was that. No more tricks from him, message received.

But then, oh then, she found herself floating in the cold expanse of the void, her body becoming a stranger to warmth and to gravity as she watched the debris of her pod drift away, along with the face of her sister flying off into the distance. Even with her body mods she could feel her lungs start to struggle, along with the fractals of ice slowly beginning to form on her skin. Nothing in the galaxy could feel lonelier than this, she decided, completely abandoned and having failed herself and the world. This was to be her destiny; it seemed fitting.

But then he was there, despite everything. He had placed his mask on her head, his only way to breathe out there, choosing instead to give her the chance at surviving that emptiness. She took in a big gulp of air, looking at him through red lenses and seeing his frozen face, feeling gripped by an intense whirlpool of different emotions, the most prominent being confusion, concern, and fear; but for the first time in a long time, not for herself.

He would have died if Yondu hadn’t arrived at that exact moment. He would have died, just to make sure that she didn’t.

What the hell was she supposed to do with that?

Of course, in the end, the intense wave of emotions that was only made greater by his lying on top of her and cradling her face in his hands had come to its abrupt end when Quill decided to open his fucking mouth, proving himself yet again to be arrogant, shallow and selfish. With a sigh, she could only feel disappointed in herself for indulging in her childish hopes and desires.

Even then, as much as she tried to push it down, she could still feel a fondness for him growing in her over time. From the way he spoke as their captain to the way he ended up genuinely deciding to do something for the greater good, rather than just himself, he was growing on her in a way that she didn’t know what to do with.

She knew she couldn’t pretend not to care about him when she saw him grab an infinity stone with his bare hand like an idiot, watching him writhe on the ground in agony, and the only thing she could think about in that moment was how badly she needed to share in that agony so that he wouldn’t have to be alone.

She followed her captain after that, knowing she respected him in a way that was reserved only for him.

Things became more complicated when Ego came into the picture, taking him away from her in a way that she couldn’t understand why it bothered her so much. She wanted to be happy for him, she really did, and in a way, she was; she saw how amazed he was by all of it, and seeing him smile so earnestly definitely made her feel something warm and content, but she knew deep down that something wasn’t right. And that was completely separate from the disappointment that she felt at the fact that he seemed to be lost in this, and not including her as much as she wished he did on this journey that clearly meant so much to him.

She did her best to be there for him as much as she could. Even when he finally came to her, asking to dance, she tried to follow along with his steps but couldn’t shake the feeling that something was incredibly wrong.

She tried to deny the “unspoken thing,” because honestly, it was idiotic and childish, and she didn’t even understand the Terran allegory he was trying to make. It always irritated her blind when he would make his Terran references and expect the whole crew to magically understand what he meant, as if it wasn’t complete abilisk bile every time. 

But then she almost lost him again, and she had to be there for him in earnest through the death of someone he loved, and everything changed. She finally saw him in a different light, and found herself unable to deny their “unspoken thing.”

It was surprisingly easy being with him. Around her, he was completely patient and understanding, totally unlike the way he acted around Rocket and Drax, or even Mantis. His pride came second to her, which was an enormous relief considering the state that his confidence and overall character had been in when they first met. He was like a completely different person, in the best way possible. It was like taking in a breath of fresh air.

❤️ Feature: @rborbajr

Continuing with my goal of features photos to encourage your creativity, today I bring you this creative reproduction of a cinematic scene by @rborbajr

If you haven't seen the Interstellar movie, this scene might not make much sense. However, it is precisely because photography is based on the symbolism of the film and is not a mere reproduction of a character, that I want to feature it.

@rborbajr portrayed the astronaut hero of the film inside the tesseract, when the astronaut makes connections with time/space and finds himself in contact, through another dimension, with the library shelf of his home on planet Earth.

The shelf that makes up the photograph seems to replicate itself infinitely, as if they were several mirrors. The random repetition of red and blue books also contributes to a sense of fractal multiplication beyond the frame. The astronaut was positioned exactly on an intersection of the shelf, placing him in a central point, as if being the connection point for everything. Such ideas are closely linked to the film's symbolism for the scene. The lighting is also faithful, like a light coming from space, above the head of the astronaut who turns his back to the bookshelf, setting off on a new journey.

Here is a great example of cinema-inspired photography that worked with subtle details to dialogue with a film full of meanings. Thank you @rborbajr for sharing this excellent photography and leaving us a good film recommendation for those who haven't seen it yet.

Want to be featured? Join the Discord (link in bio) and share a photo in our new photo-feed channel! Just tag it Permission Granted and the mod team will have a look!

Wound from the Mouth of a Wound by torrin a. greathouse

goodreads

These poems ache, but they do not surrender. They bleed, but they spit the blood in our eyes. Their imagery pulses on the page, fractal and fluid, blooming in a medley of forms: broken essays, haibun born of erasure, a sonnet meant to be read in the mirror. greathouse’s poetry demands more of language and those who wield it. “I’m still learning not to let a stranger speak / me into a funeral.” Concrete and evocative, Wound from the Mouth of a Wound is a testament to persistence, even when the body is not allowed to thrive. greathouse—elegant, vicious, “a one-girl armageddon” draped in crushed velvet—teaches us that fragility is not synonymous with flaw.

Mod opinion: I haven't read this poetry collection yet, but I love the cover and I'm very interested in checking it out.

Doom mods that are either dead, cancelled, unfinished or lost in time

(A pic taken from Doom X's Moddb page, this enemy is based off RTCW's Loper)

This list could be better/updated/fixed.

Is there a mod that eventually became discontinued, that you wished it came back or at least had its current build became available to the public?

Tried to think of mods that i heard were left unfinished or vanished, even if finished.

What came to my mind and some poor research was:

Fractal Doom, which ICARUSLIV3S made a video out of, but i heard its download link is gone.

Some of Reelism's addons.

Demon Eclipse.

Unloved 2.

The Killing Time remake.

A Plutonia remake by Death-Destiny.

Hexen Souls.

Samsara's inclusion of Prisoner 849 in the base mod.

Doom Kart (SRB2 Kart may or may not fill its niche).

Mordeth but that seems to be missing later levels for years.

Project MSX, kind of.

Ground Branch.

Alando Guns.

Doom RPG (Not the mobile games, this is something else).

HRTXC.

Foreverhood.

Forsaken Planet from HDoomguy.

Shut Up and Bleed 2.

Super Doom 64 and Ultimate Doom 64 (Not sure if they're the same).

Quake: Nexus Aftermath.

Null: Face to Face and like 4 different projects Kinsie onced shared on ZDoom forums.

I think Terminus' Project Booty was left unfinished and Demonsteele might somewhat count, since it doesn't work on later GZDoom versions.

Doom X

Most of the stuff here https://zdoom.org/wiki/Category:WADs_In_Progress

I think there were stories about a Zelda Doom project.

HDoomguy was making a spriteset of a Cyberdemon with a chaingun arm and like a "Terminator" skeleton or something.

There's probably some more i think could be added to the list or even some here that could be taken off, if they're easily available and completed.

Some of this stuff may have some role in Doom modding history too.

[osc-confessions]

i dont like mephone and bots dynamic, ESPECIALLY after iii 14.

because mephoned all like "erm i dont care abt how they treated u" even tough like five minutes ago he sold bot off on a contract without a second thought?????

meet my Teen Titans OC, Fractal (real name Lori Shaw)!! 💜✨ they’re an alternative fashion influencer and petty criminal who would use sleight of hand and other con artist tricks to rob people at raves, clubs and concerts. however, Lori always wanted to become a real villain...and after witnessing Mad Mod’s arrest on the news, they broke into his old warehouse and discovered remnants of his tech 👀 Lori repurposed Mad Mod’s hypnoscreen technology into wearable accessories, and began assuming a variety of fashion-centric disguises whilst continuing their thievery on a grander scale, eventually taking the name ‘Fractal’. they would later improve on Mad Mod’s tech to produce their signature weapon: hypnotic contact lenses, complete with a variety of spirals, tones and colours 💙💚💜 as you can imagine, Mad Mod was less than enthused to learn his technology had been hijacked...but upon meeting the villain, he is intrigued. such style and talent...well, there just may be the possibility of a collaboration in their future 😉
