1 tumblr like is better than 1000 Instagram likes.

[barbwritesstuff]

Oh yeah. That's the good stuff.

one tumblr reblog is worth more than anything tiktok can give you

[fishdispute]

im fine with tenna winning the poll, from what ive seen he qualifies the most with the standard tumblr sexyman qualities. i would be delighted if senshi won, as a sign of an environment growing and healing.

but ryland grace should not win, there is no valuable argument as to why he is in this poll in the first place

Hi hello fellow Warframe enjoyers, I have a question!

What was the moment Warframe clicked for you?

Cinematic intro cutscene

During the tutorial

After being let loose on the Origin System

Fortuna intro cutscene

During the Venus/Solaris questline

Entering one of the open worlds for the first time

Seeing the completely free battlepass in a post-fortnite world

After getting an archwing

After gaining access to Duviri

After The New War questline

Other (do tell me if you'd like I'm quite curious!)

Remaining time: 4 days 9 hours

I've noticed a trend on where literally all of my friends (plus myself) clicked at the exact same moment, so I wanna see if that trend continues in an even larger pool of people.

I've been addicted to Warframe since the very first moment I saw Loki's stupid hammerhead.

nolan's odyssey is like fennel's wuthering heights. it's a self indulgent bastardization where the original's only purpose is for easy name-recognition marketing. nolan's odyssey is nolan's incomplete, immature interpretation of the odyssey in the same way that fennel's wuthering heights is, by her own description, a manifestation of how reading the book at 14 years old made her feel. nolan's odyssey is a manifestation of how reading the odyssey made christopher nolan personally feel. it has no larger point to make or greater question to ask or idea to explore. it is just how christopher nolan feels about the odyssey as a middle aged british man. it has absolutely zero interest in the source material and its historical and cultural context the way fennel's wuthering heights has no interest in its source material. whether you find it novel or enjoyable will depend on how much you can resonate with a white millionaire man's shallow, elementary interpretation of a story he can barely grasp the meaning of because he cannot engage with it past it's immediate effect on his own limited identity and worldview, the same way wuthering heights was enjoyable if you were able to resonate with a white, old-money british woman's shallow, elementary interpretation of a story she could barely grasp the meaning of because she could not engage with it past its immediate effect on her being horny and wanting to fuck jacob elordi. both are effectively self insert fanfiction masquerading as adaptations because the aesthetic of historical dramas makes movies marginally more exciting, or they would if the costumes weren't terrible, when really both would have worked far better as truly just modern retellings, because that is what they fundamentally are, and the time periods in which they are set are not the cultural foundation of the story, but meaningless set dressing.

For all my crab enthusiasts out there: I need help ID’ing this species! It was found in Queensland, Australia in an estuarine wetland hiding in the sand.

being doomed by the narrative is cool and all but i like when a character is doomed just by being a fucking idiot. sorry that happened to you but it is entirely your own fault and you could have just chosen to not do all that

What's your stance on the use of AI in the interactive fiction community?

(I don't mean to come across as direct, I just know that it's a bit of a mess atm 😖)

no, it's alright. though I don't think my thoughts differ much from the usual.

writing and creating interactive fiction is a hobby for most of people here and on the forums. I think people should work harder in a hobby to find genuine enjoyment out of it rather than turning to generative ai/LLMs to give them that "extra boost."

when it comes to providing a story to a community like this one, it's apparent that it takes time, as so many inactive blogs will prove. it leaves many people disappointed to never read a story they found interest in, and I don't think ai can support a long-term interest in something like this when you're not committed to making it yourself.

if you need the science side of it; learning takes time and effort, studies have investigated into ai's effect to people's memory retention and learning.

end note; if your using gen ai for your hobby, my opinion is figure out what it does for you, then figure out a way to do it yourself.
