Missing the old good times...

[technofeudalism]

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.

[technofeudalism]

since this post blew up, i've been wanting to do an addition with all of the recommendations from the comments and tags. but there's a lot of them. some people might be crazy enough to sit down and seriously put them all in one post with descriptions. those people are honestly sick in the head.

anyway, here's all of the recommendations from the reblogs. not all of them are text-based, but it's a great mixture of styles. also don't forget the links in the second paragraph of the OP which will take you to FMHY where there are a bunch more games listed.

Happy Heavenly Birthday To Esther Rolle!! 🥳🎉 She would have turned 101 today!!

The late-great Esther Rolle was born into a family that initially came to the U.S. from the Caribbean. Esther Rolle was born on Nov 8, 1920 in #PompanoBeach, #Florida.

Her mother gave birth to 18 children, 3 of whom went on to become actresses. Esther Rolle was the 10th of 18 children.

Rolle initially studied at the #SpelmanCollege in #Atlanta, however, she soon moved to the #HunterCollege in #NewYork City, where she worked various jobs at the #NewYorkCity Garment district to support her college education. Rolle was also a member of the highly prestigious #ZetaPhiBeta sorority.

While working a traditional job in the garment district in #NYC, Rolle rekindled her passion for theater and the arts. She followed in her mother’s footsteps as a performer in the #NegroEnsembleCompany.

That turned out to be the launchpad into Rolle’s on-stage success as, over the years, she had important roles in such theater plays.

Her most significant of all Rolle’s accomplishments, back when “#Maude” and “#GoodTimes” were hit shows, was her insistence that people of color who worked with her and around her be treated with the same dignity and respect.

When #NormanLear approached Esther with the script for the show, she refused to take the job unless they included a paternal figure in the series who would be Florida’s husband and the father of her children.

After “Good Times”, Rolle mostly acted for direct to television movies.

She acted for Bruce Beresford’s “#DrivingMissDaisy” in 1989.

She also acted for #JohnSingleton’s “#Rosewood” in 1997.

All in all, she acted for 15 stage plays from 1965 to 1989, and 22 separate television roles from 1964 to 1998.

Rolle also released a music album in 1975 which was titled “#TheGardenofMyMind”.

Diagnosed with diabetes, Rolle’s health failed in the 1990s and toward the end of her life she was on kidney dialysis. The actress, who was divorced and had no children, passed on Nov. 17, 1998. She is buried in Westview Cemetery in #Pompano Beach.

THE LOVE OF MY LIFE

I used to play Lies of P last year; mind you, I've never even played Bloodborne or Dark Souls. I briefly played Elden Ring until I was overwhelmed with constantly losing.

I couldn't even get past the rat king bastard on the damn roof on LoP. I've denounced and shitted on LoP ever since.

That is until the love of my life, Damien "Walk 'em Down" Haas whooped the shit outta him.

I'll give it one last chance...

Reblog if you’re over 20 and still read/write fan fiction.

I’m curious!

[dog2ff]

Idk who this is for but Thornton Reed/ Dean Learner from Garth Marenghi’s darkplace edit

[guys-in-distress-database-deact]

Oooh oooh! Here’s another bondage trope I hate:

When the main character is tied up differently than everyone else, but just so they can escape easier!

Because, you know, they’re just SO special that the antagonists conveniently decided they get lighter restraints, just as a treat.

[befuddled-calico-whump]

begging and pleading for more of the opposite:

a character is singled out to be restrained more heavily than everyone else because they're seen as more dangerous. Their fellow captives get handcuffs and a gag, but they get a full blindfold, headphones, muzzle, chains on every limb, collar, the whole nine yards

Let their team worry about them since they can't even move. Can they breathe okay in all that? Doesn't it hurt?

Or maybe this is the first indication the other captives have as to just how dangerous this guy is

[piplupfluffwritingstuff2]

Tlok accomplishes this well I think.

You got the non-bender handcuffed to a rail, then the Avatar gets every possible restraint imaginable.

[edwardcreel]

reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point

It is shameful that after months of pain and despair, Gazans now have to deal with being humiliated on tumblr. The way it is so easy to otherize a whole population because they cannot navigate tumblr like every other average blogger ; please remember that they have been forced onto this unfamiliar online space because they have to fundraise through a genocide! They are being bombed! They have no desire to go blog to blog and reduce themselves by begging to people, who might try to be a racist cracker to them.

There is no doubt that there are good people here. And it is with their help that Siraj Abudayeh ( @siraj2024 ) has reached his short term goal of $20000 CAD. I am requesting you to not to turn away now! Siraj still has a long way to go! He was so happy yesterday, thinking that soon he would be able to start rebuilding his home. Today however he is a bit sad to hear that there are people who are accusing his community of being scammers. He is not surprised though

This is why I am telling you to not turn away. To not treat Gazans as Zionists treat them! Do not humiliate them.

Thanks to you Siraj has raised 20k!! But this is not the end! Pease keep boosting and donating!! Let us get him to 30k

For those who don't understand, EBT are food stamps (government money for buying food for low-income people). Because the money is from the government, it comes with horrific restrictions, one of which is you cannot buy "prepared" food with it. You can only buy raw chicken, not cooked chicken, for example.

This kitchen is getting around that stupid rule by selling you raw, unprepared chicken, and then charging your EBT account for raw, unprepared chicken.

Then as a side thing, totally unrelated, they cook the chicken for free. Since you bought raw chicken with the EBT, it's legal. There's no law against cooking people's raw chicken for free for them. That's just charity.

This kitchen is a blessing to anyone who doesn't have a kitchen of their own.

@hazempalestine is a young dentistry student in belgium (a real guy,, not a scammer. a real person living in belgium) who worries every day about the safety of his family in north gaza.

his account has been deleted and shadowbanned multiple times and he is struggling to get traction on his gofundme. i have drawn his younger brother emad here. hazem currently has not raised enough to evacuate him, let alone his whole family. here are his own words about how this makes him feel:

Every day, I wonder how long this situation will continue. Will it end, and will they survive? If they survive the bombings, will my family survive the hunger and thirst in northern Gaza? Will I see them after 7 years of being apart? Will the Rafah crossing be opened for them? Will they become just numbers on TV screens?

he is vetted by his friend @bilal-salah0 who himself is vetted here. i and my mutuals are in personal contact with both of them off tumblr and trust them.

lets all help him out please!!! donate, share, repost this art and the QR code to instagram, twitter, etc. <3

hello caratblr <3 (and also any hybe group-blr!)

i don’t usually say anything on here, but i wanted to share this for my fellow seventeen photocard collectors, as the 17 Right Here comeback is just around the corner. as you may know, there is an ongoing target HYBE BOYCOTT for their hand in working with z10nists. here are some of the key points:

(1) The one (and currently only) CEO of Hybe-America is Scooter Braun, a whole raging z10nist who continues to try to push his pro-1sr4el stance on his artists and following. (2) HYBE signed a 10 yr contract with Universal Music Group (UMG), whose CEO is Lucian Grainge. lucian grainge, his wife, and other people within the umg company and friend groups openly/proudly have been and continue to fund various pro-israel and z1ionist organizations --they are not for Palestine. umg is the main distributor for signed albums during hybe artist comebacks, at least in America.

it’s super critical for us fans to continue to boycott hybe and email/show hybe that we do NOT stand on the side of Zionism. thus, it is important to NOT buy any hybe signed albums, or any albums at all.

so if anyone is interested, here is an open group order for 17 Right Here album pc replicas (still open as of 4.21.24) so we aren’t giving HYBE money!!! here is the link to the go (on instagram): LINK

so far, the group order manager has updated that people have ordered just under $35k worth of replicas, which is honestly so insane!!! like WOW OKAY already putting a huge dent in HYBE’s wallet!!!!! remember that we can still support and show love to svt/our other fav hybe groups without buying albums/merch and giving money to hybe.

i’ve listed some other hybe/kpop boycott related resources below!

+ hybe boycott introduction info (ig post) + umg boycott intro info (ig post) + downloadable music files for various kpop artists so you don't stream! tumblr post | twt thread // how to: import into spotify (twt)

thank you for reading, sharing, and participating! if anyone knows any similar gos/information regarding other hybe groups, please do share! also please do let me know if anything is wrong; as edits are made to the post, the edit details will be under the cut.

it has been, is, and always will be FREE PALESTINE!!! FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE!

EDITS:

(4.21.24) Edited: Scooter Braun is the CEO of Hybe-America, not the owner of UMG; Added: The owner of UMG is Lucian Grainge, who is also extremely pro-Israel. Two separate issues, but both relative to the boycott. (4.21.24) a/n: sorry for the confusion!
