Thoughts on Palworld (+my computer has been dead forever)
Posted 2 years agoMy Win10 computer is dead. I don't want Win11. I only want ReactOS.
After hearing a lot of discussion videos on the game, I really want to put my two cents in. Here's a copy of what I said under Rimmy Downunder's video on Palworld, with an edit or two for a journal format.
I have never seen any more (mechanically) accurate "poke-clones" like Coromon or TemTem see this much hate for ripping off Pokemon, it seems like the hate is more due to the game being too edgy, or the dev's other game that is essentially Jackbox's "Push The Button" but with an AI generator. Both of which, although I agree a bit that perhaps this wasn't the game that should've broken the "pokemon-clone" curse and finally cemented 'mon games as a Genre, shouldn't be something that makes us fight like children in the playground like in the "Digimon's just a rip-off of Pokemon!" days.
I also hate that every-other person I've subscribed to is now playing this and titling the game "Pokemon with guns". "Skyrim with guns" was a buzzword about Fallout 4 having mostly the exact same pros and cons as it but in another setting, this is a totally different game than Pokemon. Even going through a list of 'mon games I know of I can think of nothing like it.
It would be like calling Half Life:Alyx a "Doom Clone in VR", like who does that? Who would use "Doom-Clone" in 2024? Who would send death threats to Valve for ripping of ID?
I mean yeah some of the Pals are too close to Pokemon for comfort, but others are way different, and copies alone shouldn't be what makes or breaks a game.
I'm very interested in how this game pans out in the future, both in terms of how the genre evolves in the future and in terms of how The Pokemon Company responds (either legally, mechanically, and hey! maybe diplomatically; they are a separate entity to Nintendo and gave a green light on emulations(don't know how much green)) Even though I don't think this game is for me and Even Though I've never played a Pokemon game since Blockbuster existed (and never any mainline!)
I have a lot of thoughts about this game that should probably go into like a discussion video, but I don't know how to make those so enjoy my six-paragraph journal entry. Also when are we getting Smash or Pass: all mon games edition?

I may make a Neocities
Posted 2 years agoPeople on FA are worried that the staff made the "content involving minors" update too strict and are worried about having to leave.
I wish we didn't have to do this song and dance every time;
Tumblr bans porn? Go to Twitter
Twitter is a cesspit run by Elon? Go to DA
Deviantart is now packed with AI art? Go to FA
Furaffinity is having poor moderation? Go to Inkbunny
Inkbunny's search engine is full of cub porn? WELP.
The only real site that seems to have it's shit together is Newgrounds, and even then I'm sure there's someone that'll "Um Actually" me.
Web2.0 was a mistake, we should've just had personal websites and just webring people who we think are cool.

Posted 2 years agoThe Wild-West cultured Novakids from Starbound imply that there are Yankee/Dixie Novakids they came from, and may imply Californian novakids in their future. I'd love to see Appalachian novas, but I understand this opinion has cursed side effects, but I'm sharing it regardless.
As for updates in my hiatus, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

The rents are high, the food is bad, the dust is disgusting and the morals are deplorable.

A quick notice.
Posted 2 years agoYou can use the artwork I make and buy for your F-list stuff, so long as you ask for my permission and credit both me and the creator. I end my ghosting of posting to say this b/c I looked up Spiral Knights on F-List and found this image on there but blue-shifted.
I know people have anxiety and stuff that forbids them from talking to strangers, I'm not going to judge straight-up not asking.
But I will judge not crediting, like I'd even credit open species to their creators if possible and I get annoyed when someone doesn't tag their SK_Gremlin artwork as Spiral Knights.
I guess that's about it, back to not posting I guess.

Help me name my Umbrex
Posted 3 years agoThe big girl on the https://www.furaffinity.net/view/46490136/ thing
help me name her my mind can't.
The Vessel isn't part of this poll.
Link: https://strawpoll.com/polls/xVg7dqWqRZr
Update: thanks to people who voted, I'm calling the vote early:
the winning name is Æþel/Ethel, with 4(that includes my vote) while Vernioun got 2.
I'm also choosing Ethel as it works with the theming of what I want from both her and with the theming of the Umbrex species (which right now is just 9-puzzle's Ophira and the vibes I get from her).
I will now do something productive, hopefully.

I made an F-list

don't know how much I'll use this, maybe just to write down some OC stuff to put it somewhere semi-publicly; but it's here.
I do RP, but I just don't say it outside of niche discords. may change that tho.

Update to Emmqill
Posted 4 years agoI put a U in her name and now it's "Emmquill". This is too help with pronunciation and my discord friends have been subconsciously spelling it that way.
However my Spiral Knights IGN is still "Emmqill" as I'm not paying 3.5k energy to add a single letter. Especially now, when SK the game may not be around for much longer and the property is in the hands of a skeleton crew that DMCAed a unofficial patcher and have shown more love to Puzzle Pirates.
Never liked The Grind℠ anyway, Had more fun in my imagination than the game since 2012.
World's nice tho, kept it on my mind (even though it's been my own AU of it for years now)
Update(8/22/2021):Gonna roll this change back, I keep typing it without a u. Gonna keep this up though given I still stand with my comments on SK

Posted 4 years agoThinking about old arts
Posted 4 years agoI have this cardboard box of old arts from the 2010s I want to archive, I'm wondering how to go through with it.
I'm thinking of combing art pieces into big collages
and perhaps digitally edit them, so they at least take up less space

Spiral Knights 10-year anniversary
Posted 4 years ago>TFW SK is going to die due to neglect and the only thing that will remain is the gremlins via being used for furry OCs
welp, there are worse ways to go.
