Tbc i dont think its like end of the world if he wins, i just see him as a symbol of everything weong with america. Blatant racism and misinformation, discrimination against the LGBT, and arrogance on every front because no matter what people will support it because the right has mastered demonizing others. And like, if he wins, that means the majority of america agrees with those things or at least cant be bothered to care and that disturbs me greatly

idk if spoilers count towards the politics rule but

fwiw even if he wins the presidency heā€™s still incredibly likely to be the only major party candidate in american history to lose the popular vote three times

honestly fuck the no politics rule for, like, this week. feels dumb to be forced to universally self censor over an important thing directly impacting like 80% of folers and indirectly impacting the other 20.

we should at least be allowed a thread today

thereā€™s a monologue in the first ending that is. fucking tragic.

spoilers

(context: the character doing this monologue is the best friend of the mc. she recorded it and then fucking dies in front of him right as he finds her. also i cut ahead a bit into the monologue but)

"*You guys worked so hard and Iā€¦

I wanted to shine, too.

You guysā€¦ you inspired me

[ā€¦]

But nowā€¦

I want to run, like you

I want to do something i love.

I want to work hard for it.

I want to live my life.

I want you to see my eyes shine too.

Even though itā€™s hardā€¦

even though my parents donā€™t want meā€¦

I want to run with you guys.

Us! All together!

I want to run as fast as I canā€¦

Into the light.

I want to be happy. I want us to be happy.

[montage of peopleā€™s futures here]

And me?

Who nkows! Maybe this baking thing will take off!

or maybe Iā€™ll discover something else! Weā€™ll see!

Well, whatever that might be,

I donā€™t want to be left behind now.

So Iā€™ll run. With you guys!

I-Iā€™m going to join you there!

In the light!

Weā€™ll do this together, okay? Until then!

i think its much better with the music and visuals that play in the background but. the monologue itself is still.
hereā€™s the music anyways. you can look up the visuals if you want

this game broke me

the fun part about rules is theyre suggestions
generally very good suggestions but suggestions nonetheless. what are they gojna do. not talk about pissing on Margaret thatchers grave? its definitely more flexible than most rules on here

ding dong the wicked bitch is dead

I revisited Zoneā€™s Standards (2024) and Still Within Standards. Those two should now be more acceptable by the reviewers.

Deck of Cards FM still looks good. I might have to change some stuff during review depending on the reviewer, but I think it is good as is.


I revisited ASTT - Alt. Quantum as well, and while it can get one more finishing touch (:point_right: :point_left:) it is still an amazing setup. I removed some pointless (passive) abilities and added more user agency.

I took a brief glance at Encroaching Darkness, but considering it is the latest setup I have created, I donā€™t exactly see anything I can improve on. (ā€¦well. Except one thing, I suppose.)


Other than doing the finishing touches on those two, I plan to revisit:

  • Sovereign FM
  • Danganronpa Alpha - Corrupted Desires
  • Malevolent Benevolence FM
  • ASTT - Alt. Shattered

Iā€™m also thoroughly debating whether I should just cancel setups I am not proud of. E.g., [Zone_Q11ā€™s Ultimate History UPick], [Piercing Light FM].
On one hand, I hate some of them. On the other hand, I donā€™t want Wazzaā€™s commitment to go down the drain.

The only election coverage Iā€™ve been following is from the Onion.
