Γiminal Creatives

(Title is to be read as 'Liminal Creatives' or 'Gamma Liminal Creatives') ΔΘ + Ξλ // Page is ran by 2 queer creative minds. Asks open for anything :3

[gammaliminal]

Who are we? What are we?

we are gammaliminal, or liminal creatives. we are an account run by two entities, with a shared interest in obscure & mainstream source games and source itself, theory-crafting fan work & concepts as a love-letter of sorts to the work that inspires us, and are indie enthusiasts.

our two members are close. this statement will not be elaborated on.

ΔΘ | she/it - a brief introduction.

i am ΔΘ. i am a therian, neurodivergent and disabled queer game enthusiast with interests in old competitive titles such as classic tetris & melee, casual titles like minecraft & animal crossing, and source titles, including team fortress 2, counter-strike, half life (the source versions), fistful of frags and others. For miscellaneous game interests, i enjoy games such as combat master, celeste, ultrakill, vrchat and any game produced by stress level zero.

i created this blog for me and Ξλ to have a shared space to post about our ideas, and also for us to just casually lurk through tumblr. partially due to account restrictions on post viewing.

notes

- i did not come up with the idea of associating ΔΘ with an indicator of being therian. I am simply using that tag as a self-indicator here due to how significant being therian is to me.

- contrary to Ξλ's notes, it did not bother me for this page. it just kept lightly asking for a lil while because i kept forgetting :3c

- i may accidentally ignore questions, responses or anything of the sort. i forget to respond to those things a lot due to recurring memory problems o-o

Ξλ | it/its - a brief introduction².

i am Ξλ! a self-described "mad artist" who's heavily neurodivergent and very queer with a from-birth enthusiasm with games. examples of favorites include anything source engine related*, rivals of aether, darkwood, most frictional games stuff, deep rock galactic, receiver 1 and receiver 2, world of horror, ftl and into the breach, gloomwood, and alien: isolation.

if you don't know some or any of those, then yeah that's expected >:3c

i bothered ΔΘ for us having a shared space to post and share our weiirrrddd ideas. also, to let us be able to browse tumblr without being accosted, by tumblr.

notes

- Ξλ is a tag i came up with by myself, i have no idea if it means anything beyond as my tag.

- *does not include the cautionary tale of Hunt Down the Freeman.

Current Projects

- Neon Troupe

- heavily inspired by OW and TF2, basically ripping off the feel of playing TF2 since no game has done it before, also will be built in source - we are heavily underqualified - project intro

- Project Theta

- potentially a half-life fangame? currently ironing out things like the campaign, different NPC's and weapons. - meant to be more so a scrappy survival-horror upward battle

- Unnamed TF2C Projects

- team fortress 2 classic mods that add various bits of content! including cut content that will be revived, our own regular custom content ideas, and absolutely outrageous, silly shit.

- Project Strangelove

- inspired by the tone of tf2, this is a spoof on spy thrillers set in an alternate 60s where you are assembling a conspiracy! also may be known later as How to Stop Worrying.

- Project Liminality (finally something relating to liminal spaces /lh)

- a 90s corporate cosmic horror roguelike job survival sim inspired by amnesia: the bunker and alien: isolation.

- Project Spite

- a strategy-horror game based around being a ragtag group of survivors, surviving a S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-style zone of magical shit (TM). - main theme is surviving with your comrades no matter what, subsisting on spite alone if nothing else.

- A Catastrophe, In Hindsight

- a retrofuturistic coop class-based game about surviving the workday hopefully unscathed - Has a social-deduction-style gamemode layered on top of it with most traitors still wanting to get through the day - project intro

instead of continuously over-donating to ao3 when those running the site are racist zionist sympathisers who shut down support of palestine from its volunteers 1 / 2 (among myriad other issues that u should NOT be funding) please direct your attention to these incomplete fundraisers for people in gaza and various tangible operations doing work. this is a call that if u have donated even a cent to ao3 to a) match that in your donations to palestinians/causes and b) stop donating so uncritically and unconditionally to ao3, pressure them. id like to direct u to @end-otw-racism

an older piece im still proud of. :>

[terabyteunion]

A small rant about campfires in dangerous landscapes

there's a specific like, visual motif i keep coming back to, coupled with a specific story/world motif. and that's the sitting around the campfire in an extremophile situation

like, darkest dungeon ive always found the most notable parts of the game is when you finally, strategically, choose a room and use the firewood. it's the most calm point of the game i'd say, calmer then even the town cause you gotta manage money and such there but at the campfire, you can just chill, forever even until you press the sleep button and dive right back into the stress

something about the aesthetics to sitting next to a fire really gets to me, it's a checkpoint of sorts, a place to finally sit down and let your hair down, even if it's just for a moment. usually fire is the tool against today's enemy, be it cold or abomination, fire usually at least helps. and it's also the few times you can properly socialize with whoever's unfortunate enough to be with you even if it's hard to talk since none of you are socialites probably, weird and awkward with social interactions compared to combat interactions. but even then, there's comfort in it, a simple piece of biological code that says "if: no people, self destruct" that remains false purely because you're sticking together and this is the few times you can talk freely besides briefing and debriefing

there's danger obviously, the light and smoke can attract attention, and who knows what might stumble upon the camp if you all decide to sleep. but despite that, you can still make the most of this moment of safety, this moment of peace in a hostile land

you can just chill for what feels like forever even until you sleep and dive back into the stress

and i think there's something if not beautiful, then at least really neat in that

[what-even-is-thiss]

I still think about during my last semester of undergrad I took comparative religion as an elective and this was during covid and a bad wildfire season so everybody around me was losing their jobs, homes, health. And one day during Zoom class someone explained the word “yeet” to my comparative religion professor as the opposite of yoink

And without any hesitation she said “Ah, so the lord yeetith and the lord yoinkith away”

And when I tell you that kept me going for at least a week

[what-even-is-thiss]

No I’d heard it before that. What delighted me is that she’d never heard that before and in general is a very offline person and she just came up with it immediately. It’s such an obvious joke that I think multiple people have come up with it independently and tbh I love that.
