NepetaQuest 2026

i will also say is that its interesting to me how modifying critical files requires the player-as-user of the system to borrow the power of a privileged administrative user to perform the action on their behalf as does the unix user 'borrow' the privilege of the superuser (root) by sudo (superuser do). we are, of course, only secondary users of the 'device program' and are always at the mercy of its the story as such without the ability to meaningfully modify it. so it's extra interesting to me that in attempting to break out of these administrative constraints in the weird route, by way of exploiting noelle and the program's own limitations, the player is effectively engaging in privilege escalation (or descent, rather) to close in on and potentially even to usurp the root. or roots? but it could be a coincidence

real talk I think steampunk is kinda neat like sorta neat you'know like as a little touch of spice to a setting that shouldn't normally have that kinda stuff. like a robot arm here a gun there some contraptions elsewheres. like skies of arcadia levels of steampunk is pretty much ideal. but y'see ultimately I'm pro-steampunk as a concept. but real talk for a second if your setting has a place called "the clockwork [location or concept]" I'm gonna beat you to death with hammers.

Sounds like someone's just salty theyre stuck in my clockwork labyrinth again

I know you're laughing at me I can hear the sprockets on your brown tophat jingling and once I find my way out of here you're fucking toast dude

you people will reblog anything

After decades of hard work, you finished 99 of the 100 tasks needed to get to the status of God. But the last one isn’t like any other: You have to successfully explain the concept of the multiverse to a 7 year old.

All I’ve picked up from osmosis is that people hate homestuck, and honestly that just makes this post funnier I think

You see it’s not that people hate Homestuck, it’s that people hate that everything is a reference to Homestuck no matter what
