Ask Masterpost 1/25/2025

I will be answering the BLOG RELATED asks that I have received since opening my inbox. Lucky number three this finally becomes consistent :).

I would like to state here that even though I don't respond to them (I'm persnickety about keeping ask spam low) I very much appreciate everyone's well wishes and compliments and gratefulness for this blog. I screenshot all of them and keep them in a folder. Thank you so much and I hope you keep having fun :).

@forrest-knight asked: Hello! I am here to ask for some clarification regarding the rules: “Songs from multimedia series that are primarily NOT video games (such as the Homestuck minigames, for example) will not be accepted.” I’m a bit confused with this rule, does this mean we’re not allowed to submit songs from licensed video games (aka games made for non video game media), even if the song is originally made for the game (ex. To The Moon from the DuckTales NES game). Or does this rule is intended for something completely different? *please note that I’ve never read homestuck, so this might relate to my confusion Anyways, thank you so much for doing this! And I hope you have a great whatever time you are reading this!

SO Homestuck was the only example I could think of at the time as a series that actually did this. I was specifically thinking about franchises/series/works that 100% did not start off intending to be a video game but, in the nature of being a multimedia series, added video game minigames or mobile games as it developed.

This is referring to things like homestuck (a webcomic that featured small browser/flash games within the comic), many idol gacha games** (hypnosis mic, love live), etc. This does not include series that were 'completed' (loosely used since I know many of these frequently get universe-expanding sequels and threequels and whathaveyou) and then had video game spinoffs, such as Star Wars, Marvel, etc.

** exceptions being tracks that are exclusively used in the video game itself, such as BGM.

I know this rule is probably the most complicated one and I'm still trying to figure out how to word it clearly and precisely LMAO. Fundamentally it comes down to intent, which is why I'm still on the fence some things like tracks used exclusively in promotional materials and things like that.

That being said: if the song is originally from a video game as in literally you can hear it while you are playing the video game you are totally in the clear

And according to your second ask (I won't name the songs in case you want to submit them): The one made for and coming from the NES game is fine (of course), AND the one that is the 8-bit version of the NON-VGM one is ALSO FINE, because it was REMIXED for the NES game :).

**NUMEROUS QUESTIONS ABOUT PUTTING DISCLAIMERS ASKING PEOPLE NOT TO SPOIL THE SONGS**

The blind listening and polling period is just for fun! If someone really likes a song and wants to know what it is/where it's from, PLEASE feel free to tell them!!! And PLEASE always enter the notes with the expectation that there may be song spoilers!!

I will ask that you keep it in the TAGS rather than the comments or reblogs (you're more than welcome to DM people the title if they ask), just for the sake of people who might want to discuss the song without spoilers. I'll put that in the pinned and the (eventual...) formal rules.

-----

What's up! New here so sorry if this has been asked before but has the exact same song been submitted more than once before? Like it's clearly different people but the same song keeps getting submitted over and over again?

Ever since Mod Rae cleared duplicates I have no idea anymore, BUT I know there have been a lot of different submissions for a few select Disco Elysium songs. That doesn't shock me because I know it's got a cult following here :).

-----

do you get a lot of the same people in ur notes or is it like. a few of the same and then it branches out to fandoms where people know the song? or do u not pay attn to your notes at all (also fair)

I do read the notes (when I remember)! I really like hearing people's opinions, and I always look through the tags on songs I know (I find it really hilarious seeing 'is this dark souls?' 'is this nier?' on any orchestral ever). There are a lot of familiar faces but I'd say the majority for any given poll are new or sparsely in the notes :).

-----

Would you ever consider adding two more "i dont feel strongly/have an opinion" options to the polls? Specifically, "it sounds familiar and i dont have an opinion" and "ive def heard it before and dont feel strongly/have an opinion"? Of course, if theres a specific reason why you dont add those two as options, feel free to ignore this, ty <3

I've considered this -- but honestly, that button has always existed as more of a 'I just want to click a button' option than an actual datapoint I'm looking for (I think I might have answered an ask similar to this before but I don't remember so I'm answering it again LOL). When that option dominates, I always read the notes and tags for discussion and I'd encourage anyone who is genuinely interested to do the same. Actual complex opinions, of course, cannot be captured with the limitations of preset poll options anyways LMFAO.

-----

@mkcannothelpyou asked: I'm beginning to wonder if spacing series severely further apart and prioritising picks further down the queue that aren't as represented would make for a more interesting order - as it is, it feels like you can more or less still track what people submitted and when, with waves of series (and closely related works within those series, at that) coming in conspicuously densely. Hearing the same style only days apart might impact poll results for the negative as time goes on.

This was mostly the fault of me allowing people to submit multiple songs at once, leading to songs with similar qualities (as they are all liked by one person with a particular taste) being grouped together, even if they're from different series. I limit submissions to one per period now so this will not be a problem in the future :').

-----

@the-mayor-of-space asked: how long do submissions typically stay open once they are open?

I originally wanted to have them permanently opened (thinking people wouldn't mind waiting for their submissions) until I got an insane amount of submissions, severely underestimating the popularity of this blog. I then tried to do a 24 hr submission period, and then a 12 hr submission period, but both of these still ended up with a fuck ton of submissions so the current answer is 'They're closed until I can figure out something proper'...

I don't want purging the existing submissions to be on the table, but if I get to the 1 year anniversary of this blog without a better option I might have to go that route -- in which case I'd probably publish all the unposted options so people know if theirs was cut so they know to resubmit it if they're still interested.

-----

**NUMEROUS QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW FAR BACK THE SUBMISSIONS ARE**

WE'RE FINALLY IN AUGUST!!!!!!!!

-----

are fan/non official/non licensed versions of songs allowed? because i am 100% certain #293 is a fan made remaster and medley arrangement (im not the submitter but i know the song well - i found the youtube video the audio is from and the comments from OP confirm it is a fan remix). if they are, that's totally cool, but i couldn't find anything in the submission rules about it. i dont intend this ask to be rude or hostile at all, and either way im grateful you've created such an active community with this blog!

They're not really allowed unless they're from a mod or fangame. Since it's a fanmade remaster it's kind of towing the line, so I'm not inherently against it, but it might end up just being a highly situational thing.

Note: I'm not familiar with Fire Emblem at ALL but I knew this particular song was from an older game, which is why I wasn't opposed to posting the remastered version. In any future submissions I'd appreciate if this sort of thing were indicated just in case! I will add that to the submission guidelines :). And of course if there's a better way to go about this (i.e if the game is like, 30+ years old fanmade remasters/upscales are permitted or something like that) I will make sure that's made clear as well :).

-----

sorry if you've answered this before but I was just wondering, are people allowed to submit spoiler songs for the polls? like final boss songs and songs from endings and secret endings

Absolutely! But I think for all future submissions (this doesn't apply now since there's a huge backlog) I might put a hold on the submissions of OSTS from new games for like 1-2 months (i.e No Mario Kart 9 OSTs until two months after the game drops!) so people who are playing/going to play the game have time to play it before hearing the OSTs unprompted.

-----

@its-daisukenojobito asked: Just out of curiosity, do you prefer the more obscure submissions, or more well known? I feel like for the sake of reach, the more well known the better, but as a participant, i love being able to hear something I wasn't expecting, and knowing it!

I have no preference, but it's always fun hearing good stuff from games and series I've literally never heard of!

-----

@venonomnomicon asked: am i allowed to DM to check the status of a submission? it was a couple of months ago though i do respect it's probably just deep in the queue as you get hundreds of submissions a month lol

Absolutely, but you'll have to DM my main blog (@himejoshi) because apparently tumblr doesn't let you have DMs when you have more than one blog admin.

-----

@royvalentine asked: is the form supposed to be only submittable once?

Yes, so people would only submit one song per submission period. I intended to make a new form for every submission period... There just hasn't been one since.

-----

hi question, do pinball tables count as video games?

I don't think I have enough experience to answer this question... What do y'all think????

[perfectlovevn]

Is there any like. Tidbits we can know about the Milo's? Especially manipulation Milo I'm going feral over him- anyway, love your game! I've played it idk how many times at this point and I think I've found everything. All within a week of finding it but that doesn't matter hdhgsh

Here is a big list of Milo facts I made before.

Let's see if I can think of some more, probably just for Manipulation Milo then since right now its really hot and I can't think.

Manipulation Milo:

Probably owns like a ton of clothes for different occasions. Suits, dresses, headbands, trousers, shorts, whatever. He keeps up on trends and knows what works together well.

Sings very well in karaoke, probably has a soft yet playful voice, but when he gets desperate it becomes much softer, similar to how he is in PreMilo form.

Probably keeps up with a lot of shonen manga and whatever the latest anime is. Has a soft spot for anime about cats or romance animes back from when he was PreMilo.

Goes out of the way to talk to people who are loners quite often. Even if they don't particularly want to talk to him, he believes its important to leave some sort of rapport with them. Plus, the quiet ones always seem to know things they shouldn't. He should know, he was one of them before.

For some reason, I can imagine him lying down in a sunbeam like a cat does. Probably looks up at the MC and watches them every now and then.

I can imagine him always carrying snacks in his pocket and eating them through the day. Be careful if he offers you something, you never know whether or not it's drugged.

Manipulation Milo, I think I've mentioned before tries to mimic Eris in the way he talks. I think that unlike Eris who when speaking while walking is very pointed and decisive, he tends to sway gently from side to side, allowing his jacket to move back and forth.

Given the opportunity and the expertise, he does also have those kinds of malware on our computer, but only just for recording things like keystrokes, watching the camera or looking through your browser history. It's weird how he knows these things, am I right.

He's pretty good at rhythm games, and somehow never misses a beat when it comes to them. And fashion games. Inspired by that one post about mobile rhythm games. Hums along to the songs as he plays.

Physically much weaker than Violence Milo, but still is fairly strong for his height. Still, he is far less likely to use forceful methods and actually will feign getting hurt to gain sympathy.

Details about some of the games:

Rival Stars Horse Racing

Rival Stars has two versions. Desktop via Steam and Mobile. While the gameplay itself (e.i racing, breeding, etc) are identical there are massive differences in how it functions. Mobile has micro transactions and limits on how much you can do a day without paying money. The desktop version has no micro transactions and no limits on how much you can do at any given time. Desktop, however, does not get updated as often as Mobile. I could go on and on listing various pros and cons between the two versions, but ultimately I personally prefer Desktop due to the lack of micro transactions or wait times and in addition Desktop has the ability to make custom horses, which is quite fun. It's worth checking out the mobile version first, however, so you can see if the game appeals to you as the Mobile version is free to play.

Astride

Astride is in "early access" on Steam, though that can be misleading. What is currently available is little more than a tech demo. You can create a horse and ride around an area on it, utilizing Astride's unique jumping system, and you can given play with friends. However, it is extremely glitchy, the lighting looks awful right now, and overall it just... isn't good. That said, it is still in progress and I personally have hopes that it will become a full fledged game as promised someday. That day is not today and so I personally recommend not purchasing it until it has gotten a few good updates, unless you just really want to financially support the developers.

Horse Isle 3

Oh boy. I'll just point you towards this article about some of the issues with the community management of HI3. Be warned if you intend to play, moderators are inconsistent about the rules they enforce and you can very easily get banned for saying harmless things. Personally, I stay out of the chat and I'm careful with what I name my horses. Horse Isle 3 is a one of a kind game, sadly, that allows for extremely detailed breeding. Realistic genetics combined with the ability to breed for all sorts of shapes makes it a very compelling game, which is why so many people continue to play it despite... the issues. It is free to play, though there are paid aspects to it. However, you can earn the premium currency within the game and utilize paid features without ever paying your own money.

Minecraft

Minecraft can be a fun horse game using mods or server plugins! The mod SWEM adds a lot of content that makes for good realistic horse roleplay, though doesn't fit well in survival style gameplay. The mod Realistic Horse Genetics actually doesn't change much of the horse functionality, making it a really good fit for survival gameplay, but adds lots of realistic genetics and a better system for inheriting stats than vanilla minecraft. The mod Genetic Animals will be adding horses soon.

Red Dead Redemption 2, Red Dead Online, and RedM

While it is not intended to be a horse game, RDR2 has horses that feel so very real. They are well animated so they feel alive and they respond to their environment in realistic ways. Many people purchase the game purely because of the horses. There are mods you can use to improve the horses in Single Player, though I've never used any so I can't offer suggestions. Personally, I really like Red Dead Online for the horses because the horses can't die and there are a few more breed options. You also can look into joining a RedM server. There is one called Rift that is specifically meant for horse enthusiasts.

Roblox

I know nothing about Roblox personally, but I know there are several worlds (games? I don't know what they're called) in Roblox that revolve around horses.

I will add to this as I think of more. If you are viewing this as a reblogged post, it's worth checking the original to see if it has been updated.

Please feel free to request more information or suggest games or add your thoughts.

Heyyy! Hopping into your inbox to continue Hakuoki talk, so we stop spamming poor Rui's unrelated post 😂 (though @ruiniel, if you haven't checked out Hakuoki yet... 1800s Japan, samurai, vampires + demons... just saying...)

The series used to be super popular even outside of Japan but it's died down significantly in the last ten years or so, even with the rerelease/retelling :(

Yes! There are so many different iterations of the game lmao. My favorite is the PS3 release (Hakuoki: Stories of the Shinsengumi), which is all of the original game content plus a significant amount of extra scenes in both the general route and for each LI route. I thought the narrative flow and character development was excellent in this and it included lots of slice-of-life moments, plus I'm super nostalgic about it, so I'm very attached XD It's like my "canon" Hakuoki game. I did enjoy the new characters and content that Hakuoki Shinkai brought, though!

(Oof I feel that, both the price and the computer troubles... my own computer is starting to refuse to open anything beyond 6-7 browser tabs and I live in fear every day. I hope you are able to play the games for yourself one day!!!)

HEYYY~ 👋😀 Thanks so much for continuing!!! (Omgosh yes, sorry about that @ruiniel hon! 😅 But yasss! Definitely one to add to the watchlist! Wink wink nudge nudge😁)

AGSDGASDJLKJ It was actually popular at one stage??!! 😮 Granted I did find it somehow, so... 😅 And the number of games and Anime speaks for itself... 😶 Ahh, it sucks to have it practically left abandoned by most of the fanbase, or just unknown in general. 😭

Oooh, now that does sound like an epic one!!! 🤩🤩 Anything with added scenes, more character development and those slice-of-life moments that can only enhance the experience gimme gimme *grabby hands*!! Oh yes, I do recall seeing screenshots once of Chizuru with some other characters I don't recognize but also appeared to be optional routes... *checks* Yeah! That's definitely the one! Must do so'more digging, am crazy curious about those characters now, hehe! Thank you for that, btw! Have been wondering about them for a while!

On a somewhat related note, are you perhaps familiar with the mobile otome game, Love and Deepspace, by any chance?? Yet again, something out of my own reach... but the gameplay is Something Else and was just imagining a Hakuoki game with that level of interaction and immersion!!

(Omgosh nuuuuu, that's awful!! 😭 The fear! The fear is real!! Sheesh, and here I still get snarky when mine struggles to open anything over 20! Really hope it holds out for you, dealing with computer issues is the Worst!! Thank youuu! *Fingers crossed*)

[sixxysidepiece]

Hrmm...the Matsus ain't super tech-savvy, but I wonder what kinda video games they would play?

Karamatsu you'd think would play dating sims, and he does, but that's 100% for research purposes. His actual favorite are racing games like GTA (Mario Kart is too competitive, his brothers always beat him) or other open world games.

Choromatsu tried Sims once cuz he thought he'd get to live the life he always wanted, but there was still too much RNG for him. He finds Rollercoaster Tycoon and the like calming.

Todomatsu goes on all the wikis so he knows exactly what is what for all the popular games so he can seem 'with it' but never played a single one. exclusively mobile games, like Wordscapes or Tetris, or Idle Games. The kinda stuff that he can just turn his brain off while still doing something.

Jyushimatsu plays FIFA Baseball, and is the bane of EA Sports cuz he is SUPER active on the forums and clogs their inboxes with emails about his (correct) opinions on how to better balance his favorites to win or who they should add to the roster. He also adores the WWE games, and has made extremely elaborate backstories for all his wrestlers. every one of his creations is a monster

You'd think that'd mean he'd like rpgs but they're too structured and too slow paced for his liking. Has a surprising amount of gamer rage and has destroyed the most controllers outta the brothers.

Osomatsu...plays steam porn games lolol. He strikes me more of a window browser, who'll just scroll endlessly and buy stuff that's on sale then never play them. he's got 3,000 games in his Steam library

The only one I can't pin down is Ichimatsu. Possibly psychological horror games, but rpgmaker or 'lower quality' games; Corpse Party and Ib and Misao and Off. Witch's House was also on the list but when it wanted him to do that to the Frog he probably smashed the TV/computer and swore never to play it again he was so upset.

He gets suuuuper attached to all the characters and gets real upset whenever something bad happens to any of them but he doesn't want his brothers to see him like that or know he likes stuff, so he never gets to play but that's fine he doesn't like games anyway (<- liar)

super tips with soup #5 - (solo, mostly) playtime!

Hi everyone! Been a while. Here's a request from @ssunshinebabyy - playtime on your own! Here are lots of activities for regressing and playing on your own, and tips for them!

This one took me a long while after it was requested because to be honest, I don't know how to play on my own, especially not how most kiddos might. But that won't stop me, and play looks different for everyone! With that, let's get started!

So... How Do I Play? Part 1: Prelude & Pretend

The truth is, it varies from person to person! But if you want to try a certain mode of play, my recommendation is practice. Despite being very imaginative and a storyteller myself, I struggle with pretend play because I'm playing on my own and usually don't have established characters to bounce off of! But I got myself to swing back into it by goofing around on a screenshare voice call with some friends where I streamed a dollhouse game and we picked characters to represent ourselves and we explored and messed around in there.

Since you're regressing, it's possible that your thought processes and the like aren't the exact same as in the past. You might find that making play more complex comes easier to you than making it up on the fly and simplistic. Try writing down parts of your world's stories if you wanna make up a plotline, or think of something you'd want to do and try to come up with how you could pretend it.

Part 2: Toys?

Continuing on, you don't necessarily need things made as toys to play with toys. It might make it easier to assign a personality to them if you're playing pretend, but you can also do plenty of other things with whatever you have on hand! Square erasers and containers can be used to build, a desk chair can be the driver's seat of your pretend car, and a blanket can be a cloak! It all comes down to creativity when you're figuring out how to make toys out of everyday objects.

Of course, there's also another way to play...

Digital Games

If you're reading this, it's likely that your device that you're on right now can run games! Web browser games exist and so do downloadable games!

For Computers, Sites/Collections:

Flashpoint, a collection of flash games! You'll have to search around by tags or game names to find games suitable for your wants, but it's got just about anything you could want, even more current HTML games. Contains games for all ages, including adult games, so be careful if you want to avoid those.

Coolmathgames, a classic website!

ABCya, which has more educational games than Coolmath (ironically).

Homestar Runner, which has interactive cartoons and games, a whole deep dive's worth. I'm putting it here because I loved it when I was a kid. It built my humor, I swear.

Itch.io has plenty of free games, some of which can be played in browser without downloads, but it's a hosting platform, so it has plenty of other things, not just games, and not just stuff for kids either. Some of these are mobile games, too! Just not many.

JMKit essentially has digital dollhouses and playsets!

For Computers, Specific Games I'd Recommend:

Duck Life series. Raise a duck to race.

Papa's series by Flipline. Make food in a restaurant!

JMKit My Home Makeover. Design a house and play toys!

Any Nick Jr./Noggin, PBS Kids, Disney Jr./Playhouse Disney games on their sites or archived on Flashpoint!

For Mobile Devices, Specific Games:

Pokemon Playhouse, a game where you can play minigames and collect Pokemon. Entirely ad-free!

Cat Tower Nonograms. If you like puzzles and kittycats, this one's good! 2 difficulties available.

Toca World, another freeform dollhouse game like the JMKit ones.

Play Through Tasks!

If all this choice is overwhelming you, what about doing what you need to do? Maybe you have chores or homework or something of the sort to do, and guess what? You can make these things fun!

I like to implement elements of roleplay into my chores, like having to fold my laundry to save the Clothes Kingdom! But that's not the only way to do it! You can listen to music and try to clean to a rhythm if you're tidying! You can turn homework into a challenge or quest!

Guided Play and Dancing

There are plenty of videos online of guided play activities, especially "brain break" videos (ie. GoNoodle) and nursery rhymes. I found the Pokemon Kids TV channel to be really cute and it kinda does Cocomelon stuff to me, I swear... But in any case, it got me opening and closing my hands to their Open Them, Shut Them video.

If you're not the sort for those, what about something a little more grown-up? If you like Vocaloid, you can try dancing along to match the moves of a Project DIVA PV, for example! May I suggest PoPiPo? You can follow along to Just Dance videos, too, if that's more your speed!

Storytime

Depending on your preference, you might want to be read to, read by yourself, or read to someone else! There are plenty of read-along videos on Youtube. Some are even of books that come with tapes, so if you find the book seperately, say, on Internet Archive, you can listen along! I recommend the Internet Archive for finding kids' books in general; they have scans aplenty for all age levels, from picture books to novels!

If you're picking out your own book and you want to make it more fun, why not play Teacher and read to your toys for storytime, or just read to one toy for their bedtime story? (I won't tell anyone if you fall asleep, too...)

Freeform Play

Of course, these aren't the only ways to play, and neither is anything else! Everyone has their own ways of playing. Maybe drawing pictures or writing stories is how you play. Maybe you just play by holding things and chewing on them. Maybe you want to play by matching cards! You can play in so many ways, and as long as it's not meant to hurt anyone and it isn't dangerous, I say go for it!

If you want any specific tips for a type of play you want to go about, feel free to comment and ask for help! I'm happy to!

That's All!

Phew! It's been ages since my last Super Tips, huh? I hope this one was a good time! Any questions, comments, or suggestions for the next one? Drop a comment or an ask, and I'd love to consider it!

Happy to be writing again!

Yours truly,

Jade/Soup/@soopiroth

Lynn Beck's "Ultimate Run": a theoretical concept for when you have all* the Doom games and nothing better to do.

*not literally all of them, also feel free to skip any you don't have.

So basically this is an idea I just had (kinda, like I think I remember wanting to do this before). The idea is simple: play through the entire Doom franchise in release order, but in a way that includes both individual releases and any rereleases, ports etc. that feature unique content.

Here's the list (credit to doomwiki.org, which I used as a reference for when each game came out):

Doom episodes 1-3 (skip Thy Flesh Consumed for now, it'll come up later)

Doom II

Doom episodes 1-4 (The Ultimate Doom)

PS1 Doom (has unique levels; you can play this with a PS1 emulator, though if you don't want to a .wad that you can play in your sourceport of choice, and someone's probably also uploaded it onto Doom+Doom II's weird mod browser if that's your preferred way to play Doom)

Master Levels for Doom II (you can optionally replay Doom 2 before this)

TNT: Evilution and The Plutonia Experiment (Final Doom)

Doom 64 (main campaign only)

Doom 3 (specifically the original version, not BFG Edition. It's still available on Steam if you don't want to track down an actual CD-Rom copy, and the screen-size issues can be easily fixed (plus while you're doing that you can also turn on player shadows I guess), also maybe try it with the original "gun or torch" gameplay because it's actually not that bad, and if you really can't stand it then get the Duct Tape mod)

Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil (again, the original version, since apparently the BFG Edition version cuts out a lot of content; also feel free to replay Doom 1 and 2 here, with the Xbox levels because they came with this version of Doom 3)

Doom RPG (and, if you want to do a movie night and/or hate yourself, the 2005 Doom movie, which is the one with The Rock, not to be confused with Doom Annihilation)

Doom episodes 1-4 again, followed by No Rest For The Living (Xbox 360 Doom; NRFTL is included with Doom 1+2)

Doom II RPG

Doom 3 BFG Edition (and also its version of Resurrection of Evil, as well as the new Lost Mission expansion)

Doom (2016)

Doom VFR (this one's also optional, since you need a VR headset and not everyone has one of those)

Sigil (I'm also going to put Doom Annihilation, the other Doom movie, here; it also came out in 2019, and if you watched the 2005 movie you should also watch this one)

Doom 64 again, followed by Lost Levels (technically it would make more sense to put this after Eternal, since they released the same day, but whatever)

Doom Eternal

Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods, Part 1

Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods, Part 2

Sigil II

Doom 1, 2, Master Levels, TNT: Evilution, The Plutonia Experiment, No Rest for the Living, Sigil, Sigil II and Legacy of Rust (Doom + Doom II)

Doom: The Dark Ages (still not out at time of writing, and also not everyone will be able to run it probably)

Doom Resurrection and Mighty Doom aren't included on this list due to being mobile games that are no longer playable even if you own a device which has them installed.

It keeps popping up an error when I click on a favorite mug color at the start. Saying that the color doesn’t exist and this happens to everyone I’ve click on.

Okay, I went through every single permutation of color on the version of the game currently uploaded to this site (all 117 of them 🥲) and I can't replicate this bug. Also...

Those variables absolutely do already exist in the files uploaded to the website.

All I can suggest is clearing your cache again, then if the error still persists, try playing in incognito or private browsing mode. You basically need to try and force your browser to use the actual updated files. Final attempt would be switching to a new browser that hasn't played the game yet.

Incognito/private browsing/new browser might mess with your ability to access your save files, however, so I'd probably slam clear cache a few more times before trying them. (Also, obviously don't use a corrupted save file, but I doubt any of you would be doing so early in the game anyway)

Also, here's the link to the current startup file. Maybe directly viewing it will force the browser to acknowledge its existence? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I manually go through every single choice/variation/ifelse etc in the game and then run QuickTest and RandomTest 50,000 - 100,000 times before making the game public. (It was 70,000x this time).

The chances of this sort of game-breaking bug passing through all that testing isn't completely impossible, but it's highly improbable. 99.9% of the time, if you're getting this sort of pop-up window then your browser is being a &*%^ and not using the correct updated files.

(That only applies to the game-breaking pop-up window bugs, other more subtle bugs and typos are alas, still very, very probable).

I've noticed while testing the game, that Chrome in particular never automatically uses the updated files, but clearing the cache there is usually enough to fix that. (I did also get the favcolor_ error on Chrome the first time I played through the game without clearing the cache)

What browser are all you using? Also mobile or desktop?

*I also have no idea what's going on with merlin_no_food error... no reference to that variable exists in the current game files at all? Maybe it'll be cleared up too if the browser uses the correct files?

Cartoon network old browser online game.

6 am Update: its called Toonix;

Its currently 02:33 in the morning, and I though about the old cartoon network website, I went to check the url to see what it was nowaydays only to get disappointed by being redirected at HBO max website.

That's not the point of the post, just context.

While thinking of the flash games I'd spend hours on, I remembered they had one of those online games for kids on the website, like ClubPenguin, MoshiMonsters, TooTown?(never played this one), yall get it.

It was, from what I remembered 100% free, no signature based things and stuff locked behind pay walls like the games mentioned above, and had a whole bunch of minigames in it (as any of those does).

In it, you had an avatar thats was a little guy with a big square head (I have a Mec Donald's toy of one of those guys I just need to find it, when u do ill update the post), you could roam around the world and talk to people, I think we had houses, and there was in-game currency you got by playing minigames if I'm not mistaken, or playing games on the website two (I think).

It had a animated map when you wanted to go somewhere, you hovered the mouse on it and it would play little animations and sounds.

There was also, a place in the map with a Photoboot, when you got to it, a pop-up appeared, saying that that place was for you to submit your character for them to show in the channel, and they really did, they would appear in add breaks right, the avatar and username right after a show would come back on (I submitted my avatar so many dam times in there but never made it to TV, rip).

I am trying to find the name of this things but all I can find so far is two games; "Fusionfall" and "mini match" and that's not it, it was played om the website itself, that's why you could have an account on it:

Top left corner, mind how broken it looks, my phone takes forever to load the page (photo taken from the internet archive, Cartoonnetwork.com on 2012)

From 2013, they don't have the login option anymore from what I've seen, so I think the game probably died somewhere before 2013 or at this year

The user login screen on the website (it looks broken, but I think it's because I'm on mobile, I wonder if I can still log on to my old account? I doubt they have the database).

I am currently trying to find this godam game as I write this post but Google ain't helping me much because everytime I search by cartoon network website games or MMO it gives me the usual flash games we had at the games tab and the two games I mentioned before.

I have very vivid memories of playing this thing and I got the Macdonalds toy somewhere (if I can't find this thing I'll see if I can find a picture om Google, ir game with a happy meal and you could take its head off and swap the body).

Does anyone else remembers this?

[[Introduction and Tag List]]

(Updated in 2025 January 22nd)

Helloooooo fellow Tumblr users and lurkers!! My name is Sivon/Tivon/De, which are names I chose for myself because I want to keep my real name protected.

[My nonsense acc is @wherever-snakes-go-i-go, and my reblogging account is @sivon-goes-reblogging] [My acc for posting and acting like The Sludge is @moss-thing3]

I may be more fond of being referred as she/her, though I have no problems being referred to as anything else! It's mostly from how I see gender, regarding the fact that I do have one! It's just difficult to define it (I'm nonbinary.)

I am an artist, a writer and a gamer! Though drawing takes a lot more time for me to do because it's easy for me to get distracted, as well as the fact that it takes some time for me to finish sketching, linearting and shading, since I'm a bit of a perfectionist... But it's quicker for me to write! Which might result in less than perfect grammar, forgotten words, incorrect use of words and spelling. I'm no English major!!!

Since I can play both mobile, browser and laptop games, I am somewhat good with shoot em up games, just not that great at PVP... I keep dying LMFAO

(Deimos spotted up here. Yes it's him I see similar to myself.)

My interests are, from my biggest to miscellaneous fixations: Madness Combat, Murder Drones, ENA: Dream BBQ, Wreck It Ralph, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Sonic the Hedgehog, snakes, Speculative Evolution/Biology, robots, aliens, eldritch abominations, godlike critters and finally... OCs and AUs.

You see, my brain is obsessed with different iterations of existing medias, ranging from absurd and ridiculous ideas to the most bafflingly different concept that it makes people raise their brows or be exasperated from the idea. Though I do it for my own interest and impulses!!! I think so much I got to write them down!!

+ Creations +:

I spend quite some time fleshing out my original characters, species and even my AUs, though it may be scattered information because my thoughts move by so quickly I can't keep track of them!

Here are the lists of species I've made, with enough fleshed out information to be included: Pyerns, Gyrdats, Yrphes, Dryadronts, Hynuas

I am definitely not going to add my character list here, because I just have too many of them... Both fandom AND original wise, so I'll just add my AUs here:

The Zilogyte Trio, Serpent Madness (Pyern AU of Madness Combat), Pyern AUs in general

(I only listed these three AUs because they're the only ones that are the most consistent in my mind and what I remember the most, in general)

Behavioural Notes: I'm way too talkative for my own good, and forget things a little too much ... I also struggle with certain phrases no matter how obvious they can be, so it'll take time for me to process what you mean! I may be socially awkward. Yeah. I'm also easily nervous so don't expect me to reblog too much.........bleegh

I do have this odd tendency to climb into any public activities and fandoms, but eventually crawl back into my private space... I do this VERY often so i am.... kind of reclusive after a while of socialization in a group

I am also passionate over characters, whether they're your ocs or characters from existing media! I love varying takes and diverse headcanons of characters!!!! RAAAGHHH!!!! I also don't mind being dumped with headcanons and AUs and things!! I love creativity..... Even the stupid kind of creativity too..,,

chatplots interest check + beta testing!

hey, pssst! touya-nii would like to have a little chat with you. well? what are you waiting for! go talk to him!

note: currently, chatplots works best on a mobile device! you can find the faq beneath the cut! <3 please read through the entire thing before sending in any questions or playing the game; there's a lot of important info in there about how the game works!

click here to submit your feedback!

WHAT IS CHATPLOTS?

chatplots is a simulation game where you can enter into various situations with specific characters and 'message' them. each chat has multiple choices for the player to choose and at least two endings. your choices and behaviour throughout the chat will influence how the character reacts and responds to you, and will ultimately determine which ending you get! it is essentially like a playable oneshot! chatplots IS NOT AI. it is a game that was written by me and developed by my boyfriend. each conversation was painstakingly crafted by me; it is all my writing, and it will always be completely and entirely written by me.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

chatplots can be downloaded as a web app on your home screen if you'd prefer to have it on your phone! (this is the option i personally recommend hehe) but chatplots can also be played on any device in any mobile or desktop browser, accessible through this link: https://chatplots.inkyclari.com.

how to download it on ios:

go to chatplots.inkyclari.com

tap the share icon (on safari: the little square with the upwards arrow, in the middle of the bottom of the screen, next to the bookmarks option; on chrome: the little square with the upwards arrow at the end of the address bar)

scroll down and select 'add to home screen'

you're done!

how to download it on android:

go to chatplots.inkyclari.com

on chrome, press the three dots in the upper righthand corner

click 'install app'

you're done!

here's how it'll all go down once the chat is open:

touya-nii will send a message (or several messages)

the response button (the button with the little paper airplane) will begin pulsing when you can respond back to him

pressing the button will open up all of your available response options. you can then choose which one to send back to him.

this will continue until you reach the end of the game. the response button will begin pulsing with your ending, which is a piece of prose 700-900 words long. the chat takes about 10-15 minutes to play though once.

notes:

touya-nii will refer to you by name. the name you input at the start of the game will be the name he uses, though this name can be changed at any time in the settings (the little gear in the bottom left corner!). also! check out the settings while he's still typing for a cute lil surprise ehehe c:

touya-nii will behave like a real human throughout the duration of the chat. he takes a moment to read your message before he responds, and the time it takes him to type out a response is akin to that of a real person—meaning if his response is longer, he will take longer to type it than a response that is only a word or two.

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:

this is a beta, which means it is not the finished product.

the chat you are playing is technically only half of what the full chat would be; you are only playing one route with a few different branches and two variations of the same single ending. (in other words, there are several different ways to reach the same ending, and each branch has slight variations).

a full chat would have at least two separate routes within the same scenario/setting, and at least two different endings.

we encourage you to play through the chat several times to discover which choices yield which results, and to explore all touya-nii has to say!

WHAT IS THIS SHORT KEIGO CHAT?

the short keigo chat is a sfw test chat i made specifically for my best friend. it only takes 1-3 minutes to play through and has options that are specifically tailored to my best friend's personality and tastes. you are welcome to play through it as well if you'd like! just bear these things in mind hehe

WILL OTHER CHARACTERS BE ADDED IN THE FUTURE?

yes, of course! any of my iterations of ANY character has the potential to be added to the game in the future. i am also open to taking suggests and prompts from you all for future chat scenarios!

HOW MUCH WILL THE FULL GAME COST?

chats would either be sold on an individual basis, where you can buy each chat separately for $4-$6 USD depending on the length, complexity, number of endings, etc OR through a monthly subscription of $7 USD, enabling you to have continual access to the entire catalogue of chats as it grows, with the minimum number chats being released at least two per month. please let us know which option appeals to you more right here! <3

WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK!

after you've played through the chat a couple of times, we would be extremely grateful if you would take a moment or two to answer a few questions in order to help us gauge interest and further determine the direction we should move forward in. you are also, of course, always welcome to send your feedback and thoughts through my ask box!

we can't wait to hear from you, and we hope you enjoy the beta! <3

Key advantages:

Mask your IP address for more secure browsing

Bypass geo-blocks for websites or game-related content

Use public Wi-Fi safely, especially when gaming on a laptop

This VPN is perfect for casual protection — great for when you don’t need a full system-wide VPN but still want to browse or download safely.

2. Optimized for Gaming

Opera GX isn’t just about looks — it’s packed with performance tools to enhance your gaming experience:

GX Control: Limit how much RAM or CPU the browser can use, so your games run smoother

Network limiter: Prevent background tabs from using up bandwidth during online play

Sync your bookmarks, tabs, and VPN settings across devices effortlessly.

5. Is Opera GX’s Free VPN Enough?

While Opera GX’s VPN is excellent for basic privacy and unblocking, it only applies to browser traffic — not your entire system or gaming apps.

Use it for:

Downloading games or patches safely

Accessing region-locked sites or offers

Casual browsing and streaming

Not ideal for:

Protecting against DDoS in multiplayer games

Encrypting traffic outside the browser (e.g., Steam, Riot, etc.)

For advanced security, consider pairing Opera GX with a premium VPN for full-device protection.

Final Verdict

Opera GX is more than just a stylish browser — it’s a true ally for gamers. With a built-in free VPN, resource controls, and gamer-centric tools, it combines privacy, performance, and personality like no other browser.

If you’re looking for a browser with free VPN that’s designed with gamers in mind, Opera GX is the clear winner.

Remember Kingdom Hearts Chi?

Well my young friend I certainly do

Hi, hello there again friend or reader or ye old bored soul. Gotta say its been a week for me. First a Fate post after a long while and now a KH post. What a week for my endless shower thoughts~

This week has been quite a ride hasn't it? First you had Missing Link cancelled then immediately got KH4 screen shots. There's jokes I could make (and have) or complaints an older me would raise but no.

This entire event has sparked talk about whether the mobile gaming story line was good or bad for the series direction overall. This, oddly enough, got me nostalgic.

Why? Because all the talk of what KHUX "used to be" made me realize that a lot of younger fans don't know what KH Chi is. It's been so long now but so few remember that KHUX was a rebrand.

The tale of the keyblade war was originally a web browser game. Still free to play, albeit locked to Japan if I recall, way back in the yonder years of 2013.

Look at that banger title screen

You're likely wondering why that'd make me nostalgic when it was Japan only. Well, for one, the region lock did not hamper fans at the time. Even though I never played it we still had forums of people in Japan or who could read the language that'd play it share the story.

And that story was, quite frankly, good. Now now before you throw hypocrisy at me let me make one thing clear. I may be critical of what KHUX became and what it did to the story but I've never said it's initial premise wasn't good.

In fact, UX had things that even I could enjoy even if I didn't like what it was doing in a broader sense. It's a ramble for another day mind you but one of those things worthy of praise was the initial story.

See that? Originally it was cards like CoM rather than medals

For the near entirety of Chi's original run it was a self contained story. It had intrigue, it had an air of Greek tragedy since we know the war was unavoidable, and it had a simpler mystery of the disappearance of the 'master of masters' and his sixth apprentice.

That's all there was to it. No characters being shoehorned into the past, no datascapes, or other such things. It was just a simple story of a world marching headlong into it's death.

Perfectly self contained.

It was quite frankly interesting. After seeing Xehanort do all his machinations over an unseen war we were getting to see how that war happened. It was a perfect hook.

Despite my old man ranting I have no problem with side games or stories in a series. If anything, they can be a fun way to flesh out a world without dealing with the main storyline or character.

It is one issue I have with Nomura to this day, his inability to just let a story be a story. It always has to tie into what Sora is doing or the present events.

No, this isn't some Anti-Nomura tag or hidden post. I don't even like that tag tbh. I have my gripes but it is also true that corporate has bared down on him over the years. I only point it out here because he is the main writer/director.

And I feel this need of his to make everything super relevant hurt this story.

Furries the lot of them

The initial story of Chi was actually good. Granted, I should've seen the writing on the wall when it ended with you waking up from a "dream" and Maleficent showing up.

(fun fact, the start of KHUX was actually the ending for Chi that a lot of later players to UX were skipped through)

But prior to that ending you didn't have any time travel shenanigans or the like. It was a straight forward story. Hell, even if you factor in the dream eaters and dandelions there was till a neat story there.

it didn't really lose itself until the UX rebrand when all that came barreling in. And while I often say this hurt the future story I rarely mention the fact that I think this hurt Chi's story as well.

Just as the mobile games gained a choke hold on the future events they became chained by tying that together in the past. You now had to explain how Ventus got to BBS, you now had to tie it into Marluxia and Elrena, and this even stretched to Xehanort through Dark Road later.

Many like that kinda thing in the fandom I know but I feel it hampered the chance for something truly original to flesh itself out.

Realistically, all you needed to tie to the present day was explain how someone (or a group) survived to begin the keyblade tradition that would be ancient in Sora's time.

And while I'm a staunch fan of Occams Razor I'm not even arguing that Chi needed to be kept super simple. You could've had that as big a mess as you wanted and it would've been fine since it was self contained.

We often joke about all the Xehanort's and Sora's but Chi in it's original form was something that could've made a mark without them. All you had to do was remove that Maleficent cliffhanger.

We could've seen how the world operated when it was still one. Perhaps even see how the pureblood heartless came to be. The potential there was endless and thinking about it makes me sad because it was chained to the modern events.

And I'm not even arguing that UX, Dark Road, or even Missing Link should've had existed. It would've been fine if they had in this self contained context since they would be their own events...well not Dark Road but at least UX and Missing Link.

To me, the worst part about all of this wasn't just the wasted potential for something truly unique but that the practice of making KH mobile incredibly relevant completely undercut the endeavor to stop the console spread issue of the day.

Before remixes you couldn't find a KH1 or KH2 final mix state side and many of the titles building toward KH3 back then were on scattered handheld systems.

It was a serious problem and one that began with Chain of Memories. So many started KH2 lost back then.

And even when it was "resolved" the mobile story line had grown so important that was shaping scenes in KH3. Hell, it even got a movie in the 2.8 remix even though that movie didn't give you anywhere near enough to fully grasp the story happening in that era.

It's this aspect of the mobile games that many argue about. I'm rambling about wasted story potential but for many the core issue was that locked away lore and genuinely good story moments KHUX had.

Especially with UX unplayable at the time of this posts creation. To even grasp the Luxu reveal in KH3 you'd have to sit through some youtube scenes.

Hours of it if you wanted a full understanding since some stuff did happen in world missions sporadically.

Ray Chase is the one thing selling this character right now

I've rambled myself out of words so I'll end here. I am not sure how well I got my feelings out but here we are. Thank you for reading~

And if you're one of those sad about KHML's cancellation I'd advise you to have hope. As I said, Nomura is chronic about tying everything back into itself. Whatever was in Missing Link will not be left to rot.

You just may not get it in the form you were hoping for.

Either way, remember kids, Verum Rex is now owned by Disney! Farewell~

What Keeps Casual Gamers Hooked on Online Platform Games?

Online platform games have carved a special place in the hearts of casual gamers worldwide. Whether it's the rhythmic dash of Cruise Buzz, the treasure-hunting thrills of Ziggy Miner, or the precision-based tap of Flappy Shapes, these games strike the perfect balance between simplicity and excitement. But what exactly makes these free running platform games so addictive?

Let’s explore the key reasons why casual players flock to play free running games online—and why platforms like Playzhub are becoming the go-to destination for quick, thrilling gaming sessions.

1. Easy to Pick Up, Hard to Master

Casual gamers are often looking for experiences that don’t demand long tutorials or deep learning curves. Online platform games excel in delivering fast gameplay with intuitive controls—usually just a tap, swipe, or arrow key press away.

Games like Flappy Shapes exemplify this. With its simple tap-to-fly mechanic, players can jump right in. But staying alive is the challenge, and that’s where the hook lies. That perfect balance of accessibility and escalating difficulty is irresistible.

2. Short, Rewarding Gameplay Sessions

One of the biggest reasons casual gamers prefer platform games is that they’re designed for short bursts of play. You can jump into Ziggy Miner during a coffee break, or sneak in a few levels of Cruise Buzz on your commute.

These free running games offer a sense of accomplishment without a major time investment. Quick respawns, clear goals, and instant feedback keep players engaged without ever feeling overwhelmed.

3. Instant Challenge and Feedback Loop

Most running platform games are built around reflexes and timing. This creates a fast feedback loop where players get immediate responses to their actions. Whether it's dodging obstacles or grabbing coins, every move has an effect—fueling a strong sense of control and immersion.

That addictive “just one more try” feeling kicks in fast. Games like Cruise Buzz capitalize on this by constantly upping the pace, encouraging players to improve their run every time.

4. Visually Engaging and Nostalgic Design

Modern online platform games often tap into retro-inspired graphics that bring a sense of nostalgia. Bright visuals, quirky characters, and dynamic environments appeal to players across age groups. At the same time, they’re lightweight enough to run smoothly on any device.

Playzhub hosts a variety of platform titles like Ziggy Miner and Flappy Shapes, which use eye-catching animations and satisfying motion effects to keep players visually engaged as they play.

5. Free Access with No Strings Attached

One of the biggest selling points of free running platform games is—you guessed it—they’re free! Playzhub allow users to play free running platform games online with zero downloads and no hidden charges.

This low barrier to entry is perfect for casual gamers who don’t want to commit to full-length titles or expensive subscriptions. It’s all about instant fun.

6. Friendly Competition and Replayability

Leaderboard features and score tracking add a layer of friendly competition that keeps players coming back. Beating your previous score or outperforming a friend gives platformers serious replay value.

In Ziggy Miner, for example, collecting the most gems becomes a personal challenge—while also pushing you to perfect each run.

 Why Online Platform Games Are Booming?

As more people turn to browser-based and mobile gaming, the demand for online platform games continues to rise. Casual players love the low commitment, fast action, and satisfying progression these games provide.

Platforms like Playzhub have recognized this trend by curating an exciting collection of free running platform games that cater directly to this audience. With standout titles like Cruise Buzz, Flappy Shapes, and Ziggy Miner, it’s no wonder that casual gaming is thriving.
