GaiaOnline is really showing its age

At times, I visit this site and it feels like I'm wandering an abandoned town.

I know this site is 20 years old. It's shows with a lot of the features requiring a Photobucket account, something that's gone the way of the dinosaurs, considering you can't even use Photobucket for free anymore (as of 2017). Relatedly, in the art arena, a lot of the whitelisted sites aren't even around anymore and, on the other hand, a lot of the ones that are don't work (I keep getting that "oops" message). Likewise, some of the whitelisted sites you have to pay to use.

Half of the games don't really work. zOMG! is pretty nice, however, they've never updated the game and, now, it's not working right either. I can't look at my Aquarium because, again, Ruffle doesn't work. Year by year, the site gets harder to use.

This site's got memories and those memories are ghosts.

"Northgate is dying."

She opted to go somewhere For reasons she didn't quite know Perhaps, to see what changed

Much has changed Since she's last come

Not many stores remained And what remained Had discounts

She traversed its halls Her footsteps almost echoing

Her favorite store had long left And the theatre long shuttered The food court was down

To two eateries She may was well be in a ghost town

This place wasn't long No, it was quietly, slowly fading away Little by little

Another in a pattern

Places of her youth Disappearing, fading into memory Like her long passed halcyon days

Times arrow never stops

Horror isekai where Perceiving the Weird Eldritch Thing gets you catapulted into a nightmare labyrinth of puzzle-solving.

I.e Those Who Perceive The Hunt of the Goblin King Must Partake In The Labyrinth and Can Only Be Freed If They Complete It In One Day and One Night. By Fae Law. For Reasons.

But the definition of “perception” clearly needs to be updated because some normal guy simply films the Hunt of the Goblin King Behind Arby’s, and puts it on Facebook -

No, not instagram or TikTok, it’s important that it be Facebook -

Because the rules are pretty clear, “the rules are the rules” as is carved ominously in elvish runes above the grim gate, and the Contract is Sealed. and so therefore the guy and 25 of their most random real-life acquaintances must run the gauntlet together. It’s Some Guy, their immediate neighbors, their first partner’s mom, their friends from hobby Facebook groups (oh this poor guy and their hobbies; the elderly birdwatchers from Facebook and the young up-and-coming drag king community), their random teen kid niece, college friends, a dog who also watched the video, a couple consisting of a woman who is the guy’s Facebook friend and showed her husband the video, and the husband doesn’t even know Some Guy, so he’s in the labyrinth and absolutely furious about being forced to be involved, and they proceed to break up over the course of the puzzle.

It’s important that the narrative keeps trying to be a sexy dark horror isekai! but within this the comedic reality of Catherine, 52, the guy’s horse-riding instructor, being passionately involved in escape-room-style puzzle solving and grappling with minor goblins. They are in fact speedrunning the gauntlet.

The Goblin King finally has to say: all right, actually, I only really set all this up to fuck with one (1) guy at a time, thanks for your willingness to participate, but I think all 25 of you can consider the gauntlet fully run.

And the group would be quite hurt by that. The rules are the rules. We have a contract, actually. Let Catherine cook.

Stickers

When she was little, She looked forward to getting Stickers

After her doctor's visit

Some things stay constant She's currently two decades and 6 singular years And, so, after being stuck with a needle,

She looked forward to something Almost giddy

Giddiness being a rarity Especially, since doctor's visits tend to be unpleasant (with being justifiably iatrophobic)

At least, it's a family practice Thus, her giddiness would be justified Considering what comes afterwards. —Amoridere, 3/6/2023

mihawk bans zoro from alcohol until he masters haki so he just starts drinking the rubbing alcohol out of the first aid kit. improvise, adapt, overcome.

This gave me an idea, bcs you see I did etching at uni and I couldn't shake this thought that he'd try to drink the stuff that we used to clean the metal plates with and it just followed from there
