Rewrites and Cul-de-Sacs

Man, all the other dialogueless-indie-platformer-where-you-walk-from-left-to-right-as-things-get-increasingly-fucked-up protagonists get cool intros. All busting out of glass tubes and falling from the sky into huge piles of corpses and such. I just wandered on screen looking vaguely lost.

You have the unlock the best intro. Actually that already feels like a prokopetz idea: where the really cool opening cutscene can only be unlocked by playing the game so well you prove the character is worthy of it. Already exists, no doubt.

Look, when you see someone talking about a particular bit of tabletop RPG rules tech and your first reaction is "well, that just doesn't sound practical", your first question should be whether you've actually identified a problem, or whether you've merely assumed without justification that every part of the game in question other than the bit you just read about is identical to Dungeons & Dragons.

You need to understand that I get "but that doesn't make sense because how would it interact with levelling up" in my notifications like three times a week.

Complaining during a session of Monopoly that buying properties is 'pay to win' and I should be able to earn them freely through XP gain and grinding.

That's a Muppet and you can't convince me otherwise.

Bisexual impostor may sound like a meme (or possibly a band name), but I swear some days I really do catch myself thinking "what if I'm straight and don't know it and I really did just suck all that cock for clout?"

There's also "I don't like every man and don't find every kind of man attractive, therefore maybe I don't like men at all?" as though straight men assume they're gay if they don't like women with freckles or who are over six feet.

I know it's not great from, like, a Being Functional Or Secure standpoint, but aesthetically I kind of love how websites for banks and universities and government agencies and such just sort of accrete layer upon layer of technologies without ever taking the lower layers out of the stack, and if you need to do something sufficiently obscure eventually you'll break through to some Web 1.0-looking form with a "Last Modified" footer whose timestamp isn't part of this millennium.

Ironically where they make the AI images.

An analysis of posting trends on Tumblr suggests that the ideal form of the visual novel is a semi-linear murder mystery whose gameplay consists of solving middle-school "who lives in the blue house?" style verbal logic puzzles, except every time you guess wrong a mean bisexual MILF makes fun of you.

It's tremendously annoying that this is the version of the post that trended because Umineko has essentially none of the described features.

And yet I can't think of a more representative Prokopetz post than one in which the most prominent reply has entirely failed to understand the original post and extensively cited references that are completely wrong.

I'm turning 43 on Sunday.

i thought you were in your 50s.

Whereas I'm slightly younger but where I lived in Canada we couldn't afford internet (we had ten hours a month almost all of which my mother used for work) and so 90s internet culture passed me by entirely. We didn't have non-hourly internet until some time in the early aughts.
