About Me
I started this blog because I'm new to digital art and wanted a low-stress place to post my progress and ideas. Trying to have fun, not to take anything I make too seriously, and create a metric ton of fanart for my Dnd campaigns. Probably also posting some personal/emotional stuff idk.
Notes: Disabled. Free Palestine.
Hobbies lately: Dnd, MTG, digital art, zine & button making, crochet, mixed media collage, paper sculpting, embroidery

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

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.
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.

thank you to everyone who contributed and the creators. please be sure to show them some love where possible.
Reblogging the update too
They should invent a method of asking for reassurance that nobody secretly hates you that doesn't make people secretly hate you.
this reply deserves to be here.
the tragedy of tumblr is you will inevitably meet people who you should be having a sleepover with. you should be rolling around on their floor and rummaging through their fridge and watching shitty movies with. you should be shopping with should be going out to a cafe with should be wandering through the aquarium with. people who you should be experiencing quotidian joys with... and you cannot! because they live one million miles away
thank you, weird bisexuals, love you, weird bisexuals

does anyone have that quote that goes something like 'white germans under the nazis lived just fine as long as they were loyal to the state, gave their children to the army, and paid their taxes, and in this sense many americans would be comfortable living under fascism' trying to find who said it but google is giving me jack shit
"The concentration camp was never the normal condition for the average gentile German. Unless one were Jewish, or poor and unemployed, or of active leftist persuasion or otherwise openly anti-Nazi, Germany from 1933 until well into the war was not a nightmarish place. All the “good Germans” had to do was obey the law, pay their taxes, give their sons to the army, avoid any sign of political heterodoxy, and look the other way when unions were busted and troublesome people disappeared. Since many “middle Americans” already obey the law, pay their taxes, give their sons to the army, are themselves distrustful of political heterodoxy, and applaud when unions are broken and troublesome people are disposed of, they probably could live without too much personal torment in a fascist state — some of them certainly seem eager to do so. "
- Michael Parenti, Fascism in a Pinstriped Suit
happy pride month here is your assigned fag reading The Golden Handcuffs of Gay Rights: How Pinkwashing Distorts both LGBTIQ and Anti-Occupation Activism by Jasbir Puar for the Feminist Wire.
also if you want extra credit and are willing to read more check out Against Equality: Queer Revolution, Not Mere Inclusion edited by Ryan Conrad as i will be checking this out too x (downloadable as an ePub here but consider supporting these works if possible)
suck a dick or dont just please dont be a loser!
hey it’s pride month again. reject the manufactured joy of neoliberal inclusion. disrupt the narrative of western nations as queer safe havens. do not allow your life to be used to justify the death of others. repeat our histories of revolt and rebellion over and over until they can never say otherwise. be informed, precise, angry, and engaged.
If you live in the US and get your HRT through Medicaid, you should be looking into DIY options right now
This has not passed yet, you should call your senators and tell them to vote against it, but man do I not have high hopes
Bonus: if you’re financially capable of doing so, budget to be able to help your trans siblings out in the near future.
If you’re cis or trans and capable of doing so, talk to your doctor about getting large supplies of meds than you need (don’t say it like this obviously) so you can help out people local to you. (This is why I keep getting more tgel even if I barely use it)
if anyone in the rbs needs someone to help assist them in navigating diy my messages are open
youre not “bad at art” you just need to find a character to latch onto to where you draw them 1 million times and you improve dramatically
imagine a goat with a hat
STOP-
what hat did you give the goat what is the instinctual hat you gave to this goat
I read this too fast and hadn't generated the goat image before seeing the hat was the important part, so now I see a goat cycling through different hats like in a video game character creator.

Lil drawing of my friend's changeling bard Strixhaven character, in disguise (to hide from all the NPCs who hate her since she got a student killed) and as herself (with scars from the time her blood got boiled). This was mostly an excuse to design a punky Silverquill uniform tbh.
ma'am, I'm going to place you on a brief hold while I look for a reaction image

Beautiful siblings insider trading and money laundering
Haven't posted any art in a lil while, here's the Hunger Games OC I cooked up for a Dnd three-shot that starts next week. His name is Magnum Brut, he's a 17 yr old District 1 career tribute, and in career training they really turned him into a monster. Maybe I will post more of his Lore once the game begins!
Now it's time to design a chariot outfit and interview outfit...
