I was about to start throwing plates because even though hours have passed, the messages on my deco my tree just wouldn't load and in all honesty I was looking forward to reading those more than getting my christmas presents. But looks like making an account on another sketchy website that was linked on that already also sketchy website did give me access to the messages finally. The only problem is that i can't see who they're from but also they seem to be chronological so I think I can figure it out lol. So after some frustrations i can finally say that i have read them and they were really sweet and nice.... so, thank you friends!!!!! 💝 I hope your holidays were great too. And moral of the story is don't trust random websites like these with something that's sort of personal to you idk
#speaking of presents i need to brag about something#because now i offically have 20 vinyl records that i've gathered since starting my collection in spring of 2023#and my newest one is also actually the oldest and kind of an odd one out. surfer girl by the beach boys!#i'm really shocked that my dad remembered how we had this one conversation that also mentioned this band#about how i've been meaning to get into more of those bands that are considered maybe among the most influential and sort of classic#and just more 60s music in general. and we just listened to the album today and it was lots of fun#another thing is that after 4+ years since the game got released and since my months long animal crossing hypefixation started#i actually have new horizons now yay!!!! time to dig up my notes from all those months back#where i wrote down all my detailed plansfor customising my island IF I HAD ONE#but yeah this is exciting i haven't actualy played any ac games since uh idk even when#i probably haven't logged into either of my wild world or new leaf towns in over a year or maybe even two years#so i'm excited to return to the animal crossing world once again. those games are among my favourites ever#i'm definitely naming my island 'cowtown' by the way#also it was frosty overnight so today i took a walk and took some nice photos of everything being covered in frost#the magic of nature will always amaze me so... yay. all in all i had a chill christmas time#most of all i'm glad i didn't get sick out of nowhere at the end of holidays like last year that was kind of wild and rough#and i'm sending healing powers to those who might have had to deal with sickness of any kind. i know how that feels........#goosepost

#it is not a bad thing idk why its giving mr anxiety#possibly for feeling like a fake for 5 years of my life ??#gonna write the most self indulgent angst ever come may 1st..#JL im coming for you..#CANNOT escape me#shoutout to 11 months clean#almost#like 10 months and 24 days rn#ironically i stopped exactly a week before my birthday#spring of 2023 i love and hate you#and summer of 2023#i could make so many storytimes on 2023 in a whole actually#personal#vent post#??#dolirants

The Roads not Taken, by manonamora
The Ritual awaits… Are you ready to make your choice? The one that will shape the rest of your life? Or will regret the roads not taken?
This game was submitted to the 2023 Edition of the SpringThing, an IF festival.
This was my first attempt at creating a parser. And because I don't like to do things the easy way, this was created in Twine (which is more a program to create a choice-based/hypertext stories)!

Well that was fun!
It was my first time participating to the SpringThing and it was an enlightening experience. Got to experiment and do things I shouldn't do with Twine, learned a lot about a different kind of Interactive Fiction (choice-based is hard in the writing, parsers is hard in locking the puzzle to the commands), and play such interesting games who took the genre into wild directions!
While I don't expect much from the result for The Roads Not Taken (my entry was kinda polarizing with what I tried to do), I am sincerely proud of what I achieved nonetheless. It might not be really novel in the story or the gameplay, but I did feel like it was a bit in the (wonky) implementation.
I'll be releasing a post-mortem after the results drop, as well as share my source code on GitHub. There are still a few kinks to fix with the game itself, and maybe add a few options/choices too, but that's future me's problem. If anyone would want to make a parser in Twine, there will now be some sort of template thingy :P
Congrats to all authors who participated this year and made this festival really cool! You've done truly amazing work!

EDIT: Anon... stop pitting authors against one another. We've all done fun stuff. If something wasn't your cup of tea, so be it. Don't be a dick.

Ink October day five: Repose
Cessation or absence of activity, movement, or animation.
To lie at rest.
To lie dead.
#Xion#kingdom hearts xion#kh xion#xion kh#xion kingdom hearts#kingdom hearts#kh#blue boi draws#ink october#ink October 2023#ink October 2023 day 5#aug Xion. my girl Xion my daughter Xion.#also why do the org beds look like funeral alters. I swear those things have got to be so uncomfortable#Xion gets to sleep in a proper bed for the first time post kh3 and she’s fascinated by how comfy it is.#Lea gets her and Roxas the softest pyjamas and they get so many stuffed animals and they are enchanted by the Good Textures#also Lea getting to sleep in a proper bed for the first time in over a decade and getting jumpscared by the springs in the mattress or smth#anyway extremely off topic ramble over this drawing is about the time she sleeps like the dead for 21ish days#in the cutscene comp they made for 1.2.5.whatever the collection is called she is completely still the entire time it’s creepy#when in actual days she moves a bit and is positioned more naturally like she’s actually asleep#it’s a weird little difference but I noticed it all the same.

sleepy and v fed up w this blasted reading for japanese history class tomorrow. give me 45 minutes to finish this article and i will be back to talk about kissing or something
#for the blissfully uninitiated: hello i am history student#which is a fantastic thing to be but also a significant pain in the [REDACTED] when it wants to be#the professor for this class is almost unbearably terrible which does not exactly make me WANT to do this reading#but the exam is in like 2 weeks lol#so yk. i have the hardest life of anyone on earth etc etc#god forbid i actually do the degree i asked to do lmao#also i up early this morning to drag myself to the immigration bureau for a visa amendment#which meant a decidedly unpleasant hour on the metro during rush hour :(#its bc im applying for this english TA position in spring#its literally only for 5 days and tbh i wouldn't mind doing it for free bc i am sad like that and enjoy teaching for fun#but it IS paid - and paid work is Not Allowed under my student visa#so even though i literally have not even GOT the job (applications close today) i still had to go and apply for permission to work#watch as they dont hire me lol#oh i should mention - for those who may not know i am in tokyo this year#i am british and i usually go to uni in the uk but im on a study abroad year this year#i came to japan in sept of 2023 so ive been here for coming up on 5 months and i will be going back home in august on 2024#its weird to think that im approaching the halfway point#tbh i should really just make this a separate post but whatever#coming to japan has been very strange but a good thing i think

Today, RTE got its first rating in three months at IFDB!
Sometimes, I wonder whether I should have entered RTE in IFComp instead of Spring Thing. It's just very hard to get a lot of reviews and ratings outside of IFComp unless you're famous. But then I think: Spring Thing is probably more punk rock.
So hey new player, wherever you are! You made my whole week. <3 Thanks for playing my game.
