oh dear you've found the secret slime cave lair of enforcer @ draggian universe where they put their awful little thoughts. created as somewhere to put my angsty thoughts about how falling in reverse sucks other than the void and annoying my friends.
This is stylized to what I'm comfortable posting online, so I won't go into too much detail about anything, but it's my stream of consciousness, so you could see almost anything. Potentially disturbing things that might be likely to come up include violent imagery / jokes, angst, mentions of IRL unpleasantness, unreality and surreal stuff, and religious imagery (deities, angels, demons) as applied to myself.
The most recent 100 thoughts are being shown. Anything before then is frankly none of your business, and the core concepts of anything that was actually worth keeping for informational purposes and not just live-blogging things I was doing, diary entries, or shitposts (as the kids say) are probably ending up on my Neocities.
I'm not convinced that "Dead Rabbitts and Escape the Fate" has a meaningful artist feature meaning besides Craig choosing to refer to it as both. Anyway, new electronic metal dead rabbitts song! cyberpunk bunnies! I like everything that's going on here.
you're human? in 2025? grow up. like, it just stings of a lack of imagination when there are so many more interesting things to be.
Now, their more "core"-toned work is pleasingly reminiscent of Bullet For My Valentine, which makes sense given their apparently involved professional relationship even prior to the upcoming joint 20th anniversary tour.
Currently assessing Trivium because I'm going to be seeing them with my beloved Bullet For My Valentine in May. They remind me of a combo of classical thrash metal and early melodic metalcore, your Avenged Sevenfolds and such. Which is all neat and well-executed, but simply lacks the certain "oomph" to grab me in terms of structure or delivery.
neopets is extremely metal
objections will not be accepted at this time
hehe, my boy has a number of the beast birthday today
would have missed this had not someone commented it bumping on my NC trading thread
"i want to get a restraining order against this man after hearing this song" is surface level; you're only a real falling in reverse knower abouter if the very concept of ronnie makes you feel spiritually unclean. it's the slime
jeffree star being stuck in my head isn't quite as much "out damned spot" as say popular monster (2024) but it's pretty damned close. both from artist grossness and from it being an extremely EE era period piece. leave that shit in 2020 where it belongs along with me smearing my own blood into chalk circles in public...
take it from the world's premier ronnie scholar (not confirmed but the competition sure ain't great so...), these are his most important defining traits. everything else flows from them. I'm only partially joking.
he's gay (and refuses to fully admit that)
he is extremely ADHD
he's got the mentality of a fictional 6-year-old (specifically Calvin)
he is a Disgusting and Rancid Slimy Boy
apparently the this war is ours vinyl is bigger than my scanner so I guess I'm taking pictures
unsure if need nap or just bored. going to take nap anyway. briefly being unconscious is good for the juices and I have nothing else I need to do today.
the goal for today otherwise is to scan some CD liner notes and maybe get that shit up on Neocities
the new santae fish are so cool why are they not minimals (as in the latest wave of them)
I don't know what the specific name is for the pseudo-rap vocals these kinds of 90s dance songs use, but I find it incredibly charming.
I can't explain my attachment to weird electronic music from the 90s. Blame the dance compilation CDs I got at Bargain Hunt during the period when my mom stopped letting me watch Nightcore on YouTube but before I discovered music piracy and Soundcloud. There's something charming about it. Brings a smile to my face. Not the sort of thing I'd call myself a "fan" of or intentionally seek out; you're not gonna see me making a spreadsheet for it any time soon, but, like, if CDs of that sort pop up at my used stores I do usually buy and listen through them.
look how cool my bag is. Given how cool my bag, pin lanyards, and general aesthetic collections are, I'm considering making a Neocities page for my dragon hoards. Crib pictures are out because I'd rather not show any details on where I live, but showing off my paraphernalia, perhaps posters and shirts, pin laynards, and CDs could be fun and neat, and tie in with the TBA Music Scene page scanning all my liner notes.
My sona is very explicitly not a dragon because while they are a drakลn in the sense of being a supernaturally empowered, divine / demonic snake, calling a critter a "dragon" attaches a bunch of expectations and tropes to them my sona does not have. I, however, am a dragon / drakลn of some sort along with various other critters i feel connections to, and all self-respecting dragons need at least one hoard.
So, apparently logging in with Pokemon Trainer Club no longer works because apparently instead of taking you back to the app, like it should, after you log in, it takes you to the PokemonGoLive homepage. Which asks you to open the play store to download Pokemon Go. Which you opened it from. And closing the window just takes you back to the login screen, and reopening Go ditto.
Which means I'll need to stick my alt account on PTC onto my work Gmail if I ever want to be able to log into them on my phone again, running them from the one device that's still logged in.
This is a functional game.
If I ever were to meet the actual owner of fuckoff@gmail.com, I should probably apologize to them for all the free Wifi that requires email to sign in spam emails I've been directing to them.
It's funny that Corviknight is the Pokemon Go winter holiday loading screen despite how it's not gonna be released until next week. You know, in mid-January. Past the 12 days, even.
a beast i forgot about for ronnie's petsite little guy kinlist
2024 Ronnie / FIR events in chronological order:
January - May -- vanished for no reason and the fans deluded themselves into thinking that a new album was coming out
February --
Valentine's Day "I'm not gay" breakdown followed by hanging out at a bar in Nashville
Still weverbawates shirt, I guess
May --
Ronald, PM2024 "announced", disgusting album cover
Luke gets set on fire at Sonic Temple
June --
All My Life comes out, and everyone assumes Ronnie does
The other thing that happened this month is not funny and not mine to make jokes about
July --
August --
PM2024 actually releases
Ronnie has a Patreon for some reason (on which nothing happens)
Unhappy Meal boxes, which didn't ship until October
October --
Grammy nomination billboards (it didn't work)
Unhappy meal actually ships, the "mystery" merch designs are new and awful so it makes no sense, and it's probably illegal under US sweepstakes law
Bad Guy music video
That gambling stream
December --
"I'm just a little birthday guy" tour gets cut off by him not being allowed in the UK, which he should know
Saraya probably breaks up with him
General status things:
Failed attempts at "beef" with Chris Motionless and Machine Gun Kelly
Hanging out with the birds
Inciting harassment against fans with names and faces on stage officially
The merch store doesn't actually work
WHO GAVE HIM THAT (mute unless you want to be subjected to ronald [2024])
he is well documented to be bad at fire and to destroy things when he gets bored
...I hope that given that this was on a European tour, he couldn't take that thing home with him through customs, but, well, there have been recent wildfires in LA...
the canceled buddy and the kass basher plushie have the same energy. it's the capes

black veil brides is not that good as either hair metal or metalcore; andy is just pretty. (and as we all know, he sucks, given his being totally willing to fawn over ronnie and defend him with "well he can't be awful to everybody else because he's nice to me!")

oh hey, both silverstein and memphis may fire have new songs. should listen to them
finally unlocked the bat and got this on my first game with it. neato. course, since that's one of the few weird neo things that's locally stored vs. account, I'll need to do it again whenever I get a new computer...
hehe slime
this does not quite fit the pet aesthetic but i might have to keep this zap
If you like this game, buy it or die!
If you
Okay that happened. Sure is Nightcore. There sure are, like, 25 canon songs. None of the manufactured nostalgia compilations are exactly me. It was a vital gateway drug. That's it. It was in fact a phase, mom. There's something melancholic about going back to something from your past and realizing that it doesn't hold up, not because it changed, but because you did. I have taste now.
we know that ronald uses "you probably watch anime" as an insult so i'm pretty confident he'd hate this
least this should sure be confusing for the other side of my against my will psychic link
I will freely admit to enjoying the whole space of speedy techno remakes, and that one I feel works remarkably well in that format.
Groove Coverage is a Nightcore mainstay but they're honestly also just quite good in their own right
of course it's a speedy techno cover of an Alice Cooper song so it's really no particular desire that I got attached to it as a baby Edgelord
despite everything, it's still you
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uEwCZrIOBk
of course, some songs in nightcore canon are just good
There are basically, like, 25 canonical Nightcore songs that mostly date to the late 2000s, which seem to have been bandied about every music streaming site for as long as those have existed. And it's really hard to get out of those canonical 25 or so songs within algorithms, as I strongly discovered. Which is part of why I hadn't listened to many of them in years because I got thoroughly sick of them.
But now they're nostalgic, even if they were frustrating while trying to search for different Nightcore in 2018. Funny how that works.
I suspect that at this point, The Cab's Angel With A Shotgun's most relevant cultural legacy is being the song that propelled Nightcore from a specifically rave music / Eurodance phenomenon to applying to a wider variety of genres, being the first mildly edgy rock song to get a "Nightcore remix" on the intertubes.
There's a wide swath of obscure Eurodance and otherwise 2000s songs that I'm convinced the only reason anyone knows they exist is Nightcore.
And for certain obscure 2000s stuff it's some of the highest quality preservation we still have. e.g. Good With Grenades' Bruises and Bitemarks -- an iconic Nightcore and/or AMV song about S&M, which vanished off of everywhere it was in 2009, making it, and the rest of the artist's output, difficult to find in at all decent quality. But the Nightcores remain, having been shuffled around music streaming sites since probably the original release of the song ca. 2007.
Said song is in fact still on my Sanity Is For The Weak playlist, by virtue of hitting hard in 2017 and still doing so now.
Well, the baseline songs are perfectly serviceable and good in their own right, but Nightcore as a concept is...well, what is described below. But it was an important gateway drug and got me a pretty good scope of scene canon even before I realized what that was, and everything being unified under "Nightcore" was a step for me to explore genres I would not have otherwise considered.
this specific stolen image immediately brings me right back to poorly making dubstep noises with my mouth
"Cringe culture" was never real and was fundamentally based in ableist bullying as a concept, and Nightcore was a vital step in my and many others' musical and subcultural journeys. I think it plays an important role by way of bringing a wide variety of songs under a single "artist" umbrella in increasing accessibility and approachability for scenes that can otherwise be hard to get into, and in transposing dark and edgy stuff into vocal ranges that pre-pubescent and/or DFAB folks can safely sing.
However, I will acknowledge that it's fundamentally based in pirated songs poorly sped up in Windows Movie Maker and/or Audacity (the couple of good remixes are the exception), paired with stolen anime girl pictures, and that spending 5 years of my life being a dedicated Fan of this sort of thing is perhaps embarrassing to look back on. Cringe may not be real, but things being of poor quality is.
I'd pretty much stopped listening to Nightcore by 2020-21, or that which I still had was scenemo canon fare I still have. The Angel of Darkness, Stamp on the Ground, dance-pop / Eurodance / rave music stuff was pretty much out by 2019-20, save a brief attempt at reviving it in 2019 as part of the masturbatory self-loathing "I peaked in 2015 and have been evil ever since" that went into Pokemon Magenta's development, and that wasn't the same "classic" songs. I can safely say that I have not thought about this stuff in 5+ years so I have no fucking idea why the brain decided to pull it out of the trenches. Three Days Grace at least had the explanation of an angsty and deeply unpleasant 2019 trauma vibes dream sequence scored to it, but there's no demonic possession connection here that I know of.
I mean, I'm having a good time. I'll accept monologue DJ requests for anything that's not Ronnie and unlike with Three Days Grace, where I was disappointed to find "uh, okay, all these songs sound the same and they're incredibly on the nose and cliche" because their grandfathered in songs still hit hard as legitimate Edge, I have no expectations of Edge or frankly of being good from Nightcore. I'm literally just here for "nostalgia", which is weird because there is very little in 2016-19 that I exactly...want to feel nostalgic for that I know of? I suppose it's probably a good sign in regards to recovery that I can have good feelings about stuff I liked back then, but it's deeply confusing.
I've literally got a stack of used store CDs I need to assess, and that's not even touching the spreadsheet which has gained several new entries from recent concerts and Wikipedia dives. And I'm listening to fucking Nightcore because for whatever reason, the brain decided that's what I needed to hear right now and you know what I think it was right.
today's song stuck in my head that I have not listened to or thought about in > 5 years.
I'm...disappointed in Xanje. I've heard good things about it, and I think it's one of the bigger petsites currently active but uh...well, refer to the whole philosophical rant about how real money trading feels unethical. Of course, now I feel really weird accepting the newbie packs I signed up on the forums for, but that's an occupational hazard. I tried the game and decided it wasn't for me and left. No big deal.
yeah, Xanje does state that the stuff isn't yours; you're just getting to use it as long as you follow the site rules. I'm honestly surprised they don't forbid real money trades??? that's kind of a logical conclusion from this I'd think
I would read "you are not given any rights to the art, names, or other intellectual property which has been provided by our website" to include "you are not allowed to profit off of it; trading for other game currencies is okay if they allow it but not officially condoned so we can't help you if you get ripped off"
All the rest of the philosophical arguments and gameplay mechanics aside, no developer is obligated to make their game free to play. No one is obligated to make a game period, let alone release it to the public. Artists / coders / developers / etcetera put that out there so people can enjoy it, and maybe so they can make money to support their artistic endeavors. Someone turning that, and the hard work that goes into making that enjoyable game experience, into a vehicle for personal profit just feels like it's against the spirit of things and violating the unwritten social contract you have with the makers of a game you're playing.
I know I don't need a fully defensible argument in regards to why things skeeze me out especially for something as silly as a virtual pet site, but I want to make sure I'm being philosophically consistent and honest with myself, and not confusing personal skeeze factor for something that's actually morally wrong.
That statement ("The seller is profiting off creative work that's not theirs, and the buyer is getting an unfair gameplay advantage without supporting the site") works in regards to why buying or selling virtual pets you did not yourself design is wrong, but I can't come up with a similar philosophical answer to why gold farming, or otherwise exchanging game currency or grinding as opposed to designs for real money is wrong, at least from the perspective of the seller. The seller has the right to do whatever they choose with their time, and to sell that time if they so choose. I can't see anything unethical at baseline about "if you pay me for 2 hours of my time, I can spend those grinding on this game and send you the results."
It's still unethical for the buyer, because they're getting an unfair gameplay advantage without supporting the site, and I still think there's something unethical about making money off a free to play site that is published free for your enjoyment, but folks can sell their time however they'd like.
fundamentally, petsites are about the designs, and you did not create those to have the right to sell them. The items / pets / whatever are not yours to sell even if they do exist on your account. The seller is profiting off creative work that's not theirs, and the buyer is getting an unfair gameplay advantage. (In that they're getting stuff in the game without going through gameplay, or supporting the game they claim to enjoy.)
Now, that doesn't work in regards to how concepts like "gold farming" where you exchange online game currency for real money or pay someone for their time spent grinding bother me, since those aren't selling designs.
Now, I'm perhaps of an unpopular opinion that I see absolutely nothing wrong with official in-app purchases. Free-to-play games need to sustain themselves somehow, and I don't see anything wrong with players getting compensation for supporting the site as long as it's in moderation (like, just for cosmetic upgrades and not required for gameplay e.g. how Neopets or FR do it, or that you're paying for convenience and everything can be obtained with gameplay currency). But that goes towards supporting the site. Players selling their pets / items / etcetera doesn't.
Legality aside, it just seems...sleazy since it's a free to play game. I get wanting to liquidate your petsite stuff into a currency you can use if you're quitting so you can get some use out of the time you put in, but the idea of selling stuff you got on a free to play site for real money just...irks me, and I can't come up with a good ethical reason for why it bothers me so much.
I mean, at least unlike Pokefarm, the graphics and pet designs actually belong to Xanje. I can't see any way to slice Pokefarm Q allowing real money trades for their recolored Pokemon sprites until 2021 (and even when I was playing in '22 there were still folks actively requesting them so evidently it isn't enforced) as anything but actively illegal.
Like, commissioning custom art of a Pokemon is one thing. Pokefarm Q's sprites for Gen 5 and earlier species are pretty much directly taken from the games with little modification save perhaps the shiny / albino / melanistic recolor.
You basically say when you sign the terms and conditions for any kind of virtual pet game or what have you that the items are not "yours" per se. They belong to the site and you're getting the right to use them for as long as you follow the rules. Like I said, not yours to sell. I don't see anything wrong with cross-site trading between game currencies, but I don't think that it's fair to anybody involved to sell things you got on a free to play site to other people for real money, without any of that going back into supporting the site.
And also, like, stuff on a game isn't exactly...yours to sell? Sure, you can make the argument that you're selling the time or labor that goes into grinding or what have you, but you did not...create anything there. You are making money off of other people's labor in making the art and shit that goes into said virtual pet's existence
This is players trading their pre-existing pets for USD. In-app purchases that go towards supporting the site is one thing, and I see nothing wrong with it in moderation, but players selling their pets just seems...weird.
like I'm aware that if there is a market for exchanging "labor" (even if that's grinding on a game meant to be fun) for currency that folks will do it, but I don't think that sites especially 13+ or all ages ones should actively support that sort of thing. if you're gonna do that keep it outside
so apparently xanje allows real money trades. at least it's not like PFQ in that the graphics are actually theirs, but that sure does put a damper on my opinion on it. I mean, I guess I don't have a valid reason to object per se to what other players do, but I don't feel like it's ethical for sites to condone that. Tell me I'm justified in this.
at least if you ask my pokemon i've been getting plenty of sleep, and haven't even been tossing and/or turning that much, and yet i am tired and i do not understand why. it's just that it's winter and it's cold and am reptile am not supposed to be awake
Mochia update: Yes, the world map images are artificially generated, which is not optimal, but it is a non-commercial project and they intend to replace them. So I'm inclined to keep playing because I do think the graphics that they actually drew and the mini-games are cute.
okay so mochia is cute and I want to like it, but upon talking about it with a friend, said friend pointed out that the world map images have a certain vibe suggesting possibly being artificially generated, and they are vastly more detailed than all the other art onsite which is somewhat suspicious. I don't want to be too mean to it since it does seem to be a non-commercial amateur project, and don't want to make any accusations without proof, so I'm going to ask on their Discord about the source of those images and if there's any chance of them being redrawn by actual artists. Yes, the core art style is kind of amateur, but it's cute. It's charming. The actual map images of the lands are perfectly fine.
anyway I've been really enjoying exabyss and mochia; the latter is simple but in a charming sort of way. still not sure what to do with myself on xanje, and I'll be able to tell you more about windrose when I can actually fucking acquire a pet?
just a weird little snake guy playing with his weird little creatures
trying out listing he/him pronouns as an option on the various online places...testing the waters on the pet games before it goes into official neocities canon
i mean i use them poetically when it's funny and masculine terms in various places otherwise. i still prefer they/them or xe/xem for the genderless legendary of it all, but it would be easier when teaching in meatspace to just go by "Mr. Elaphe" and let folks assume whatever they like.
the monologue periodically uses he/him for me, but it's also sometimes addressed me as Ronnie so I think it's a tad confused
I'm still waiting to find a modern meme that's actually funny.
Don't look up "olfactory ethics" if you want to maintain any faith in humanity. Disappointed to see folks referencing it on FR.
Holy FUCK am I having a demon day. I don't usually have serious "shifts" as opposed to just a baseline state of creature, but the tail and horns and bad vibes are out full force today. I intend to cause problems on purpose.
Also I'm thinking about Three Days Grace for little clear reason; think it's that I got hours of dreams dragging me through 2019 hell.
gosh I love being a horrifying and offputting creature
Hmm, 4thewords isn't letting me delete files from my archive. Which is fine, I guess, since archive files don't take up slots and there's no harm in keeping them around, but I like keeping my file systems as decluttered as possible.
The petsite list is basically on my Neocities for the sake of my own personal record keeping, but perhaps it'll help someone or other. Or it at least demonstrates that I'm a total fucking hater, but I've got reasons for objecting to everything on the list. Except the sites that weren't on the list, which I rejected because I didn't like their art styles and/or site layouts. If I'm gonna be grinding for some critters, they've gotta be critters I like looking at.
I suspect my boredom will be substantially alleviated when I get back on campus in January and have things to set my time around. As it stands, I need to do grad program applications for my post-bac Canadian teaching plans. I've basically already got a statement of interest from applying for stateside teaching programs, so it's literally just find and replace, fill out the resume form, and do whatever else is needed. But that didn't happen today because I am very tired from my trip and needed to reset myself to baseline from Active Despair.
Not sure if my search for a new petsite to fill the Goatlings-shaped hole (once I finally sell all my stuff) is running into Sturgeon's Law or if I just have really exacting standards. There's just a...juice which I look for which either a site has it or they don't and I can list features I know I don't like, but I'm not sure how to specifically phrase what I liked about the sites that have stuck me.
Thus far, the "stickiest" site I've tried out from today's idling has been Exabyss, but I must admit that it's more of an RPG than a petsite. And that I'm basically playing it as an idle game since it has an autobattle feature so I just keep hitting repeat and leave my pets to grind while I'm doing other things.
considering changing my primary private "journal" from its previous rose / thorn / bud bullet point format into prose; I've been doing prose writeups for the days that I couldn't get in an entry on the day proper and writing them afterwards and I think that may on some level work better than the bullet points do
as everybody knows I have astral plane custody of ronnie radke's soul, so i can and will dedicate my magics to torturing him for as long as he walks the earth spreading filth and pestilence wherever he goes
the matter that my exalted dragons and other such virtual pets canonically go towards destroying ronnie is so fucking sexy. imagine this man's soul being beset by legions of supernatural creatures. glittering dragons, giant fucking snakes, something that's like cats...but not cats...fantastic
It's the "hehe" that really does it for me. It's insinuating that the soft and squishy description of the gummies is a double entendre and I do not like that, especially not with its ๐ face
I do not like this painting, friend.
I don't delete my political angst because this is my ephemeral diary and things stay up for my record keeping, but I will admit that I am totally willing to be even more wordy and post even more spontaneous thoughts than usual in order to push that sort of thing to the bottom.
reblog if you support throwing old fruit out the door / window to decompose
Over the past 4 years of NotN, I don't think I've ever gotten a Nocturne egg from scavenging.
I desperately need to update / reprice the Santae and Goatlings usershops, which I haven't because I've been preserving my hands for 4thewords and NotN and have been on vacation for the past week.
Anyway, I made my post looking for new virtual pet sites / browser RPGs on Flight Rising since that's my most active forum, but it applies to y'all too. If you play anything that you think I'd enjoy, let me know.
And just fuck Subeta in general; it was designed by folks whose only concept for a site was "hehe what if Neopets could say fuck" and it shows. There is no valid reason for any video game to have a "crackhead" avatar skin.
I am all in favor of edgy humor and subverted innocence, but the concept "what if this childhood icon Fucked" is simply not funny or interesting. Neopets do not fuck. They emerge from the ground fully formed.
Also, wrote an essay about how virtual pets do not fuck because I realized my statement about Subeta / Lioden / Wolvden "weirdly sexualizing the pets" required more elaboration.
https://draggianuniverse.neocities.org/miscellanea/virtualpetsdontfuck
As much as I love the Year Of The Snake rep, the Blue Origami Hissi Toy was right there. (And Origami isn't customizable anyway so...) I'll never object to a new Hissi color, though.
Since I intend to quit Goatlings, I'm looking for a new browser pet game / RPG to replace it. Here are games that I'm currently playing and like:
Neopets
Kingdom Of Loathing
Flight Rising
Goatlings (left due to community issues, but I like the gameplay)
Lorwolf
Pixel Cats' End
Chicken Smoothie
Santae
And here's what a site that'll work for me needs to have. I've tried a ton of the big petsites and did not like them for one or more of the following reasons:
Needs to be accessible to new players and have clear "dailies". Basically, how I operate on petsites is that I do them as dailies and part of my daily routine and then expand from there. (Sites that violated this: Mweor, Dappervolk, Lioden, Wolvden)
Isn't a blatant Neopets ripoff. Needs to have an artistic identity of its own. (Sites that violated this: Subeta, Icepets, Marapets)
Isn't using graphics that aren't theirs. (Sites that violate this: All "Neopets revivals", Pokefarm Q, PokeHeroes)
If an adoptables site, either allows cross site trading (this is the only real reason I stayed on CS) or doesn't require clicks for pets to grow.
No permanent pet death, at any time. (Sites that violate this: Lioden, Wolvden, Dragon Cave)
Doesn't lie about its age rating or weirdly sexualize the pets. If a breeding sim, shouldn't allow inbreeding. (Sites that violate this: Subeta, Lioden, Wolvden)
Needs to have either a wide variety of pet species or a good range of customization (via means other than user created items. I want to be able to obtain stuff via grinding.). I want more than just "realistic" colors and don't really find domestic mammals interesting unless I can make them edgy. This is the least important thing on my list; a site with good mechanics can supercede this.
Actually works and has stuff to do. Isn't completely stagnant or dead. If in alpha or beta without open registration, has clearly marked opening dates and/or codes available via something other than Discord, and staff communication outside of Society. (Sites that violated this: Dappervolk, Neopets Classic, Grundo's Cafe, Subeta, Sylestia, Tattered World)
I'm mostly looking for petsites, but I'm open to other kinds of browser games too. Allowing cross site trading or exchanging in-game items for currency or art is nice, but not required. No offense if you like any of the sites that I wasn't satisfied with for the reasons on my list; I'm aware that I've got very exacting standards. I just figured I'd clearly lay out what things didn't work for me, since I've tried an awful lot of sites. I'm already aware of Paw Borough and funded its Kickstarter.
Sure, mother, we survived the 80s. Were there open Neo-Nazi sympathizers in office and was "everyone more inclusive than me is an evil deep state lizard person" in mainstream political discourse in the 80s?
Sure, 20 years ago I'd be unable to come out or get gender affirming care. But everybody knows that identity politics is fake and just a construct to distract people so fuck your pronouns we're all in this together YOU DO NOT MATTER NOTHING YOU ARE OR DO MATTERS
This is of course "you" as in me. Enjoy your life while you can; this is the best it's ever going to get. Maybe I peaked in 2023.
Your existence is not resistance. You're nothing but a construct that is part of the problem. Everybody knows that the real problem is capitalism so fuck everyone else, fuck identities, fuck yourself, kill yourself on the capitol steps for all the good it'll do
YOU'RE NOT REALLY TRANS YOU'RE JUST A DISGUSTING WHITE BOY WHO WANTS TO FEEL SPECIAL

TUCSON IS THE BEST FUCKING CITY I HAVE EVER BEEN IN. The comically impressive number of book / music / geek paraphernalia stores was one thing but this sells it. Best winter break vacation; thank you escape the fate. If it wasn't in the 110s Fahrenheit / low 40s Celsius in summer (and if I wasn't focused on fleeing the US) I'd want to move here.
a delightful paper for any kingdom of Loathing and/or economics peeps (I am the former but not the latter)

Matti, I think. Also, it's not black, it's blue; I was just seeing him in shadow. Anyway, he looks like young Ronnie except less mangy and slimy.
Looks like they have two guitarists. The one with the black guitar is the one who looks like Ronnie.
I don't know the name of EtF's current guitarist (bassist? or do they have two people on guitar?), but he's really pretty. And looks uncannily like TDIMIY Ronnie, which stands out against the rest of them
