here's thing i wrote up in 2022 and completely forgot about for the past few years:

Abstruse English

Introduction

I appreciate the worth of restricted varieties of English that solely contain frequently utilized words, exemplified by the Simple English Wikipedia and Randall Munroe’s volume Thing Explainer. Pondering these varieties, an additional query materialized to me: what if in lieu of increasing the straightforwardness of the vocabulary, I increased its complexity and unpleasantness?

Consequently arose Abstruse English.

Regulations of Abstruse English

Abstruse English excludes from its vocabulary the 1,000 English lexical items utilized with maximal frequency. Abstruse English permits essential exceptions:

Articles (“the”, “a”)

Pronouns (“I”, “it”)

Prepositions (“of”, “as”)

Conjunctions (“and”)

”No” and “not”

Abstruse English additionally permits numerals ("1,000") and capitalized nomina propria (“Abstruse English”, “Randall Munroe”).

Auxiliary Challenges

The vocabulary of Abstruse English entirely lacks varieties of the lexical item “to be”. Consequently, the constraints resemble E-Prime, a restricted dialect of English lacking conjugations and contractions of that lexical item.

Abstruse English additionally lacks varieties of “to do”, necessitating atypical negations.

Utilize not Abstruse English; it lacks utility and elegance.

Has anyone else noticed recently that when you press the 🅐 Button while in the air you can hardly find the strength to do a Double Jump anymore? Go ahead and try if you want, but it won't work.

[catgirl-kaiju]

Nothing's been the same since she... fuck... I'm sorry... since she... since she left this world. If only I'd remembered that holding and releasing the 🅑 Button would've allowed me perform a powerful Spin Attack. If I hadn't forgotten, she might still be here today. Shit... fuck... I can't handle this anymore, I'm sorry.

[catgirl-kaiju]

There's a Save Point over there. They say if you stand on it and press 🅧 you can save your game. But can any of us really be saved? I don't think so. Not after everything we've done.

[catgirl-kaiju]

Press the 🅜 Button to undo the damage from this War. Oh? There's no 🅜 Button on your Controller? Funny that.

the aesthetic i am currently obsessing over is animal-well-esque stuff

glitchy, detailed pixel-art, and there's something about color and shading, hm

this one is an example

i have a certain feeling that i am collecting games not because i wanna play them, but because of them being pieces of art i immensely enjoy to look at i do play a lot! but the titles which are compatible with my brain are really limited: i have some motion sickness issues, some levels of autism-bounded-OCD and ADHD on top of that so, for example, i am in love with the concept of FEZ, but i cant really play it, because i am getting angry as fuck and overloaded with all the paths i didn't take and didn't clear visual novels are a lot harder to "read" then regular books, and the interactive pieces distract me a lot (the last thing i've enjoyed was, in fact, Citizen Sleeper: good mechanics and rythm, amazing flavour) games are too slow or too fast, games don't give u time to appreciate scenery, games...

what i think might cure my hoarding obsession is making screenshots. photohunting games! sometimes playing them, but also snapping pics from letsplays

and drawing fanart, maybe making moodboards, we'll see
