unicellular organism?

i'm rather boring. but i do like marbles.

[moreworldliness]

Hello I'm back and alive. I binged all of Underverse with my aunt a few days ago, and it really sparked me to (creative) life! Great series by the way, go watch it. THAT BEING SAID, after some brainstorming, I got to "what would REALLY happen if there was an Error!Ink"? So... here's my Solution!

His name is "Blot" (or "Critical Error" if you want to be fancy) and I love him a lot.

Tl;DR - He experienced Eldritch Madness and broke!

Longer Version (and more art) below!

He was shown - and given the ability to truly comprehend - the vastness of the multiverse. Not just one multiverse, but every multiverse. Every life, every sound, every experience - he felt and understood it all at once.

Now, he's a sort of ambivalent protector of the multiverse - he jumps in when he needs to, but ... most of the time, he just watches, searching desperately for novelty and interest in a multiverse he's completely comprehended. He holds a hatred for the main timeline because of it's boring repetativeness.

He's a little goober and I love him a lot. Take some more of him.

That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.

Follow @the-future-now

[dopeluminarydreamer-blog]

Reblog if you:

Have an iPhone and are in need of repairs

Have a friend with that problem

Hate Apple and are more than happy to spite them in some way

No one will know which is it

[weaselle]

This guy inspired me to repair my own macbook. First of all, you should know that I am not… like, I have to look up HOW to look up what my computer specifications are. Tech, that ware either soft or hard, is not a subject in which I experience comfort or competence. But my puppy peed on my keyboard, and I asked the apple store, or the fucking mac cafe, or the godsdamn Computer House Chill Zone or whatever cute ass name they have for their bullshit store, and they said it would be TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPLACE MY KEYBOARD. I’m not even exaggerating.

So I asked the internet, well how hard IS it to repair? And I saw this guy’s video, and while I am no techie, I AM fueled by spite, so I was all “oh, they do that shit on purpose specifically so they can charge me $1200 bucks or make me buy a new computer hunh? FUCK THEM” and I bought all the tools I needed for about $25 and I bought all the parts I needed for about another $25 and I watched a few tutorial videos, and I replaced my own keyboard.

So, once you are doing the actual deed, it becomes pretty obvious that they are finding creative ways to make this much harder than it has to be on purpose. On thing that stood out to me is, instead of all the tiny screws being the same size, there are about two dozen very slightly different sizes. They could easily be all the same size, or like, two sizes at most, but no.

These mother fuckers will take a panel that screws into place and they’ll use a different size screw for each corner. They are so close that you almost cannot tell them apart visually, but they each will only screw into the matching corner. Like, it’s a pretty clear “fuck you” to anyone trying to do repairs.

anyway, this guy is also fueled by spite, and doing holy work, and I have mad respect

[dragonfox-in-a-teacup]

This is awesome. Man is doing good ass deeds 24/7 because he’s giving people control.

I Fixit is actually how I repaired my dad’s old iphone 12 and then claimed it as my own!

[underfell]

OKAY ...HERE ARE THE KIND OF UPDATED REFS...

I had to edit them a bit from the keychain designs just to make it easier for everyone have creative freedoms with them.

[the-starlight-project]

HEY! YOU!

(A little doodle for you, fresh off the presses!)

Hi there! Lead writer of The Starlight Project here! it's been a damn long time since I've thrown something together to actually post, so I figure I'll do it here!

First of all: Where's the next issue, MW? My answer??

Coming! Soon! (insert that one toby fox image).

No but really, it is coming soon (ish). Generally, once Starlight has 16 workable pages, we feel comfortable putting them on a timer to release to you folks every week. Currently, we have.. some pages in the works, some pages done, but even more sketched out! So work is firmly Happening!

Second of all: Why is this taking so long???? Short answer -- life. There's probably an easier way to say that, but it's true! I'm finishing up my university course (so hopefully, when it's done, I'll be way more free!) and SB is finishing their first year right now! So we're both busy in different ways.

All of this being said: thank you all, the audience, for being so wonderful and patient. As a reward, please find enclosed some fun stuff below the cut!

Ever wonder what concepting is like? See no further than this (with some names redacted, for obvious reasons)! Concepting for a page that takes place a lot later in Starlight's run!

Hm... Chao... We were very torn as to whether or not Chao were actually real things or if they were just... manufactured. I guess you'll have to find that out for yourself! Chao above totally not relevant to the above argument. Totally.

Some more concepting, this time some that the audience should recognize! This is the concept for the hole that Shadow and Sonic fall into in Issue 1, Page 6 and onwards! Look at those fancy lines... SB probably put a bit more thought into this than I did.

One last bit of concepting for you, this time in the form of a style sheet when we were still doing "Sonic Style" (for lack of a better term). Don't worry about spoilers - they've been expunged :) All this to say, I included this specifically because, somehow, upon export, this file became a WebP. We have no idea how, but it's kind of funny.

I leave you with two production memes that I promise will (eventually) make sense. Thank you again for sticking with us all this time, and hopefully, things should be in motion very soon ...

Yours faithfully, MW

(No you cannot shake him like a maraca, Error tried. He was then banned from any Horror cooked pastry for a month, he learned his lesson the hard way)

[voronlsan]

Okay, I want to share something relatively recent with you. I love making different designs and outfits for all sorts of Sanses from AU. Here are the latest ones:

Well, to be honest, these are all the designs for my comic, which is still in progress.

Below is Error's design. Honestly, it's my favorite of them all. It's a little unusual and wild.

I hope I managed to keep the characters recognizable.

[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.

[anarchistfangirl]

"should I write-" Yes. Yes you should write. "But it's bad". WHO FUCKING CARES! WRITE IT. "It's bad". AGAIN WHO CARES? you want to write it. WRITE IT. you have an idea. WRITE IT. in times where AI is taking over people's critical thinking and creativity, writing is resistance. Writing is radical. Imagine! That in times where people are using AI to make their fucking grocery lists, you making use of THAT SUPER SEXY BRAIN of yours is bloody badass. So fucking write it. "but who will read?". Does it matter? Write it for yourself. People will read. Write that fanfic. Write that drabble. Write that prompt and let someone take over it. Write your thoughts. Write about what you love. About what you hate. Your feelings. fears. dreams. Ambitions. About what turns you on. or ticks you off. WRITE ✍️ IT! Write for joy. Write to let go. Write for yourself. People will find it. Write because you want to. Because you have something to say. Because your voice DESERVES to be heard. Don't let these bigass fuckass AI corps make you forget what it means to be human. Write as a form resistance. Write because you don't deserve to be overtaken by AI. Write because it's one of the most radical things you can do in these times.

if you're looking for a sign to tell you whether you should write something, the take this post as that sign. WRITE 👏 IT.👏
