i've been getting into retro game emulation for a while now and i'm finally breaking into the console hacking/homebrew scene. i just finished an easy 3ds hack and it was really fun and i'm super excited to use it.

my family also has an old psp i forgot about that apparently doesn't read its discs anymore, which makes it the perfect next target. i'll hack it and give it back to my siblings because i'm trying to get them into older games too, and our family doesn't have the money for a lot of games and consoles.

i think my next next target is a wii. the wii was the console i actually grew up playing and using and even though we barely had any games, i loved playing wii sports, the original loz, and the original super mario and mario 3. i want to homebrew it partially because i would like to replay skyward sword and it's a bitch to emulate. way above my paygrade. i'm also looking into how well the wii supports gamecube emulation, because i've been trying to get one of my siblings into twilight princess but it keeps crashing on our family pc [which is a piece of junk only good for web browsing]. i think she also wants to play wind waker.

so basically i'd mod the wii and let her borrow it to play certain games.

when i was a kid, me and my sister had a mc world where it was supposed to be a post-apocalyptic wasteland and we were a family who had to make our home in an underground bunker with several levels of basements to protect ourselves because we filled the overworld with ghasts. eventually, an update came along that broke ghast behavior in the overworld. they got really avoidant and weird and if they fired at us near the water, the ghast charges would sit in the ocean like abandoned mines and to clear them out we would have to hit them back up into the air so they could explode.

crazy to see ghasts in the overworld again.

ghast update!!

I love the bishops and I love writing their characterization and hc i have for them but I must be patient because I cannot write them fr until they Actually Appear in the fic. But just know. They are rotating. in my mind

[necropolis144]

I think the concepts are as similar as an individual identifying with/as a fictional character and/or experiencing the memories that character has in the source.

from what i've seen, the most solid definition for irls is that they're a form of delusional misidentification but i haven't ever seen a medical source talking about it.

fictionkin is a more complex topic than people give it credit for. i used to identify as fictionkin before realizing i was a system. most people who identify as fictionkin identify with it in either a spiritual sense, such as believing it's a past life, or a psychological sense, like identifying as a character to cope (whether this is a conscious decision or something your brain just does on its own.)

but fictives are distinct in the fact that they form around this identity. they would not exist without it. irls and fictionkin are also not mutually exclusive from being a fictive. you can be one or two or even have all three of these types of identities.

i don't know if any of this helps, i'm very sick, but i've been lurking in communities that discuss these topics for a while now and i just wanted to try to offer an in depth explanation. (:

not a sysculture but actually a question..

i was having a look about irls and fictionkins and some things are quite similar to fictives, may i ask if it is really similar or am i being dummy? also, i'd like to know what each thing means because i'm not sure i got it entirely...

I honestly have no solid understanding of irls, other than that I've heard it's used to describe a type of delusion but I've never found an actual source about them

And from what I've gathered fiction kin is usually a past life thing

Based on what I've seen they're not actually similar at all, but they look like they are from an outside perspective

But also, I have no clue. This is just my own observations with very little research into the other two things

Phil: I feel so bad when when it gives us Player contracts, I dunno. I know it's just part of the game, but I feel so bad killing people, I don't want to do it. [Laughs]

Cellbit: Oh, I can! Don't worry, I feel great killing people. I've been wanting–

Phil: [Laughs] Alright, I'll pa– I'll pass on the– the killing...

[...]

Cellbit: And you know, I already like, took a piece out of Pac one time, so I'd– I'd just be finishing the job.

Phil: [Laughs]

Cellbit: I'm like paying in– in parts, you know?

Phil: Yeah, yeah?

Cellbit: That was the next part.

Phil: Installments? Installments of debt?

Cellbit: Yeah, I got him like at 15%, I need the other 7– uh, 85%.

Phil: [Laughs]

The force ships it but taken the the extreme. The force keeps conspiring to get these two together. They've been married on six different planets, have been dosed with truth serum more times than they can count, have felt the force all but join their signatures together and shake them like misbehaving children. Various members of the council have been sent force visions of a world where they're together and have heard the Force decree it should be so.

Which is a long winded way of saying Mace, Yoda, and misc other Jedi end up playing matchmaker because the Force wills it so.

Pac: I said, "Hey, let's do something fun, you know? Let's kidnap the [Federation] baker!" And we are kind of like, locked up, and [Richarlyson's] even sadder now, right?

Phil visits Pac and Richarlyson in jail.

* Pac's quote here is a direct reference to Fuga Impossivel, where Cell (Cellbit) had a cellphone he used to threaten people with his "contacts from the outside." (In reality, the phone had no signal, but that's how he earned his name "Cell")

Pac: Richarlyson feeling a little bit sad 'because 'cus he's locked up, you know? That's why he's using a different kind of hat.

Phil: Oh, Jesus Christ. Wait– why's Richarlyson's [happiness] bar gone down?

Pac:Yeah, 'because 'cus he's unhappy, 'cus, well, we kind of like, got locked up, and it's his birthday today, and he's feeling a little bit sad about like, growing up, you know?

Phil: Is that why he's got a different cow head on?

Pac: Yeah, yeah, and to try to help him, I said, "Hey, let's do something fun, you know? Let's kidnap the baker!" And we are kind of like, locked up, and he's even sadder now, right? [Richarlyson shakes his head] Yeah, but look – jail is fun!

Phil: I can put my hand through the bars.

Pac: [Laughs] Can I ho– Please save us!

Phil: Do you miss human touch, Pac?

Pac: Yeah, I miss human touch.

Phil: I'm here for you. [Cracks up]

Pac: I miss human touch. Oh my god, a hand! Richas, you want to touch a hand? Touch uncle Phil hand. [Laughs]

Phil: Yeah, right here.

Pac: Touch it, Richas! Connect with every–

Phil: I can get you out, I can get you out, I don't know if I'll get punished though, but we'll see. [Laughs]

Pac: I don't think you're going to get punished. [He looks at Richarlyson] Right? [Richarlyson shakes his head, holding a camera] There's nothing wrong about setting two persons out of the jail.

Phil: Yeah, I feel like you've learned your lesson, right?

Pac: Yeah, I won't try to kidnap the baker.

Phil: Oh, Richarlyson wants you to take a photo of, like, hands touching, I think.

Pac: Oh. Ok, let me...

[They stand there, holding hands in silence until Richarlyson takes a photo, then they burst into laughter.]

Pac: Well, Richas, you wanna do the same? I can take a picture of you! I just need a paper. [Pac checks his inventory] ...I don't have any papers, if you have one?

Phil: [Still cracking up as he holds hands with Richarlyson]

Pac: I need the paper, Richarlyson!

Phil: I have paper, there you go.

Pac: Oh, thank you.

Phil: We can smuggle things into jail. [To Richarlyson] It's okay, mate.

Pac: Look! [Laughs and throws Phil the photo] Can you smuggle me a cellphone?* I know information is power here.

Phil: I can – hold on, let me see, let me see...

Pac: Maybe like a cellphone? Or maybe a gaming setup so me and Richarlyson could put some gaming in here, you know, so we can play games?

Phil: I can – I could just break you out. [Laughs] But it's up to you – do you want to be out?

Pac: Yeah, if – Richas, you want to get out of this prison? I know it's bigger and better than our house. Look at the size of this, Phil! You wanna, like–

[Richarlyson breaks the jail bars and lets himself out, then replaces the bars to keep Pac inside]

Phil: [Dying]

Pac: ALL ALONG? Wait – we have been in here for the past 15 minutes, Richas! Oh my god. Ok, ok, I'm done, I'm done. I'm just gonna stay here. I'm just gonna stay here. [Pac walks to a corner of the cell and sits down facing the wall]

Phil: [Still wheeze-laughing] Dude...

Pac: I'm just gonna stay here.

Phil: I can't– [wheezes] I can't break these blocks, he's locked us in!

Pac: RICHARLYSON–
