dolls are of course a type of arthropod (invertebrates with an exoskeleton, a segmented body, jointed limbs and a polite demeanour)

COOL ROBOTSSS

Some Ink stuff from 2016, I have it on tumblr here, but I really like some of these. Recently I properly archived and categorized my drawings archive, well, at least to the best of my ability, there's a part of it from 2016 to 2020 where a lot of art doesn't really have any indicators what year exactly it was.

I love the tap battle horse skull

Wintertale Advent Calendar Day 20 : Mari Lwyd! For a moment, you go along in the singing and festivities as Mari Lwyd and her party pass along to the next village they are visiting.

A morsel of Bloodborne is good for the soul

Practising inking with maru nib makes me feel like such a brute... it is so delicate, but it looks nice in really small patterns and things like hair or face detail. For the most part I used a larger g-nib.

"I don't want to read this" is totally valid.

"This is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't want to read this because it is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

Single greatest post on this website for browser game enjoyers

i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.

there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.

anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.

A Better World - create an alternate history timeline

Alter Ego - abandonware birth-to-death life simulator game

Seedship - text-based game about colonizing a new planet

Sandboxels or ThisIsSand - free-falling sand physics games

Little Alchemy 2 - combine various elements to make new ones

Infinite Craft - kind of the same as Little Alchemy

ZenGM - simulate sports

Tamajoji - browser-based tamagotchi

IFDB - interactive fiction database (text adventure games)

Written Realms - more text adventure games with a user interface

The Cafe & Diner - mystery game

The New Campaign Trail - US presidential campaign game

Money Simulator - simulate financial decisions

Genesis - text-based adventure/fantasy game

Level 13 - text-based science fiction adventure game

Miniconomy - player driven economy game

Checkbox Olympics - games involving clicking checkboxes

BrantSteele.net - game show and Hunger Games simulators

Murder Games - fight to the death simulator by Orteil

Cookie Clicker - different but felt weird not including it. by Orteil.

if you're ever thinking about making a niche project that only a select number of individuals will be nerdy enough to enjoy, keep in mind i've been playing some of these games off and on for 20~ years (Alter Ego, for example). quite literally a lifetime of replayability.

This is the peak, the absolute distilled essence of my humour
