…about social platforms, I learned from the Steam forums.
DREAMWIDTH: Good game, small but loyal playerbase, who the devs actually listen to. Bit old-school–they’re not going to be putting out a VR version anytime soon, but hey, it could happen if they got enough interest! Some people are claiming there’s microtransactions, but it’s all cosmetic. You can get through the entire game without purchasing a thing, and I’ve racked up thousands of hours on it since it came out.
WORDPRESS: Yeah, a much bigger playerbase, and technically free-to-play, but the real perks are in the subscription services, and I don’t mean a season pass. Also they jacked the subscription price up* the moment tumblr started losing players, so I dunno. Probably a cash grab. Play at your own risk.
PILLOWFORT: Guys, this is Early Access. Stop pretending like they’re shipping a completed game. If you don’t know what Early Access is, GTFO until you educate yourself. But if you’re willing to support the devs, they’re super-active in the forums, and they’re awesome about getting patches out. If you want the opportunity to help shape a great game from the ground up, this is the place.
TUMBLR: What the fuck is up with these devs? They made a shit-ton of promises and never delivered on any of it. Every patch they put out just breaks three more things, and the game is practically unplayable without mods as it is. And there are no admins on the servers, so toxic players just run rampant–yeah, don’t tell me we could just band together and take them out. Tumblr is PVE; there’s only so much we can do. Look, I supported them for a while, but this latest update is going to drive all the decent players away and leave us with nothing but griefers. If they did a rollback and put some actual moderators on their servers, maybe I’d keep playing, but if I wanted to get trolled by sociopathic infants, I’d go play Rust.
* pretty pissed about this actually–because yes, I got an email from WP today letting me know that if I’d like to pay for a full year’s subscription ten months early, I wouldn’t have to pay over 25% extra for the same service next year! Oh, and I have until 12/18 to decide. JFC, WordPress, you’re not fooling anybody.
everytime I hear about children of the corn I think about the guy I met at comic con who actually lived in the town they filmed that movie at, and on the farm where they filmed in the corn.
he was a teenager at the time and him and his friends would get drunk on moonshine and rustle the corn and let the air out of the tires of the production team’s trailers and shit.
and now there’s Wikipedia pages about how the children of the corn set was haunted and they thought they angered god but it was really just drunk hillbillies
I don’t like adding to posts but I also have a funny story like this, so I was watching the movie the Blair witch which takes place in burkettsville maryland, which to me is so funny because that is were my grandfather lives and the town is literally just old people and cows with their main street consisting of a post office. Well anyway he told me that after it came out people were coming in like bus loads to the town to find the witch and my grandfather lives up in the Mountain area and people were up in his property trying to find the witch and it made him angry so he went out and hung up stick people and stacked rocks and it freaked the people out so they started thinking something was out there when really it was my 80 year old Italian grandpa who wanted people out of his woods.
We had ghost hunters come to a historic house in my town to film and if you think every high school kid in town respectfully stayed at home that night instead of going to fuck up that filming you’re dead wrong.
this is comforting, actually, sometimes paranormal things are just a bunch of bored people dicking around in the woods.

me, an aged monarch lounging on my fur-strewn throne, gesturing for my servant to bring me my monacle: Bring them here! Bring them here, I say. Let me look at them.
guards: *drag the unwitting blog before me*
me, peering intently at the new blog and poking them with my scepter: Is this a real person? Hmm? What have you to say for yourself? What are your fandoms? Your interests? Speak up, these old ears aren’t what they used to be.
guards, tentatively: they do seem to be a real person, sire. We found them in possession of several memes and a fandom rant.
me, subsiding back into my sumptuous furs and waving them away: most extraordinary. It has been an age since there was a real person, but just as well, the dungeons have been overflowing with those tacky pornbots. This newcomer may remain in my domain. Make them welcome. And fetch me a quill! I feel a ficlet coming on…
You know, I think the thing I appreciate most about this ask is the period at the end. See, without the period, it would just seem like a string of nonsense. With the period, it seems like a very long sentence translated, possibly from German (which would account both for the length of the sentence and for the capitalization of words in the middle of it), into some arcane avian tongue, a dialect spoken only by the most educated birds, which a mysterious creature has, for reasons unknown, come to the conclusion that I, your humble mod, might understand. I get a lot of weird shit in my askbox, but that period elevates this particular message so far above the common herd that it is even now wandering the astral plane.

NO LET ME TELL YOU A STORY So a few weeks ago I was in a hotel in Savannah with my grampa in the hospital next door, Mom was over staying with him, and the battery in the smoke detector went out so every 5 minutes it would let off this loud, high pitched ‘CHIRP’.
It was annoying as fuck, so I called the front desk to see if they had a battery for it, and they said the only thing they could do was change rooms. We’d already settled in for the night, and needed the next door rooms for my uncles the next day, so I said I’d deal. My uncles had my car in the next town over, so I couldn’t drive and get one myself.
An hour later, I’m ordering pizza and have gone insane because the damn thing CHIRPS. SO. MUCH.
So I begged the pizza guy on the phone to stop and get me a battery, told him I’d pay for the battery, and give him an extra tip for it, and he was chill with it. This adorable fucker gets to my room with the battery, opens it, asks to see the smoke detector, CLIMBS ON THE BED, CHANGES THE BATTERY FOR ME, and tests it.
My pizza was only 20 dollars, but I gave him 40 and told him to keep the change.
I am clearly not fully utilizing my pizza delivery person…..
