Quidquid Latine dictum sit...

Sup, I'm Falsely, I make games. If it's got ghosts, time travel, or Richard Conway, I'm probably going to post about it. I like just about anything that features people heavily underreacting to occult bullshit. Slide me a recommendation some time! Webbed site, if you want to keep up with my games.

Welcome to falsely profound dot tumblr dot edu slash careers! I ping-pong between posting original characters, interactive fiction, musical theatre, shit you've never heard of, and games from 10+ years ago. A lot of it is horror-themed, so tread lightly.

The video game history foundation has just finished scanning every copy of the neopets magazine and added it to their archive. Super cool!

Why we scanned every issue of Neopets The Official Magazine | Video Game History Foundation

It might be a little silly, but Neopets Magazine is an important slice of a different part of gaming culture.

During its four-year run, Neopets Magazine covered the latest news and strategies for the influential 2000s-era web game. It also had a lot of articles about Neopets merchandise and trading cards. In fact, it’s mostly ads for Neopets products. Or long articles about Neopets lore. At best, it is mostly an off-topic magazine. So why did we focus on this magazine of our archive? Simple: it’s about the game’s audience. Neopets was, arguably, the defining girl game of the 2000s. An entire microgeneration of girls got their start in the world of digital entertainment by raising virtual pets and playing Flash games to get Neopoints. [...] Notably, many of the magazine’s articles are about creativity and customization. There’s shades in here of the gameplay styles that have become more popular in the last decade with the rise of cozy games and farming sims. My favorite quirk of Neopets Magazine is in the audience survey that came with some issues. In one survey question, they asked whether readers bought this magazine at a clothing store! That would have reached a completely different audience than we usually associate with game magazines. Can you imagine PC Gamer being sold at a Charlotte Russe? The point is that Neopets The Official Magazine represents a different slice of gaming culture, one that we know matters to researchers and to our extended community.

in retrospect it's kind of impressive how much character nintendo managed to give to miis. like, they're meant to be avatars. but they feel more like little guys. creatures, almost.

the closest competitor i can think of is xbox live avatars and frankly those things scare me

in fl, there is an extremely cold place.

the only thing standing between you and the cold is a single stove.

to increase the heat output of the stove, you can weld lead plates covered in a burning eldritch language onto it.

if you stick enough eldritch words onto the stove, it gains sentience and runs away.

you can then hunt down and capture the stove, at which point you'll have to decide what to do with it.

one of the things you can do is fix it up so it's better-equipped to travel the world, and let it go.

doing this gives you a quality called "liberator of stoves".

this quality does absolutely nothing.

you can do this multiple times, and it will increase your "liberator of stoves" quality every time.

the quality will continue to do absolutely nothing.

so naturally, there are a number of players who have made it their personal mission to raise it as high as possible

Every time a Fallen London post breaks containment someone inevitably mistakes it for being about Florida instead, and every single time it's glorious.

i think i’m not much of a hater as i am a dismayer. my gut reaction when disappointed isn’t always “oh what the fuck this SUCKS” but without fail it’s “oh why did they do that this concept could have been so GOOD”
