computer dying too. hard drive, causes crashes often. crashed 13 times today. trying to move most important 100 GiB off of it. opening tumblr likely to crash it so i am currently living dangerously
i was joking about the internet cafƩ i'm not walking to the other end of this place just to pay a lot of money to browse tumblr. it's not that i have a life but walking is almost impossible for me
okay it's 14 now my computer crashed in the middle of writing this post. luckily tumblr autosave is very aggressive
idk when i'll get a new phone or new hard drive i can't even get mail here lol. uhh things i was gonna say on other posts either comments or tags but my crashes ate them (i also got locked out of my account for a while):
(of course my laptop crashed four times in the span of 8 minutes while writing the belowā)
I was rewatching HLVRAI and started thinking about my swap au that I kinda forgot about.
Specifically I was thinking mostly about the au's Gordon.
So.... here's some hcs that have been rattling around in my head about that au.
- You know how Coomer cuts in on his own dialogue with "Look Gordon, a rope! We can use these to traverse large pits!" Because he's an ai?
Well, in this Au, Coomer's actress still does that as a bit. But it's Gordon who, whenever Coomer says that, will without fail respond with something along the lines of " Great Idea! I'll keep that in mind!" It pisses Gordon off endlessly because he can't stop himself.
- Alsoooo we all know about ai of The Science Team's soda.... infatuation. That's the same with The Streamer Team.
Except it's just Gordon, one of the Streamers breaks a vending machine ( probably Tommy or Coomer ) as a joke, and Gordon rushes - sprints shoving them out of the way - to shotgun down a soda.
He needs that caffeine and energy for all the bullshit going on in Black Mesa after all.
- UNLIKE Gordon leaving The Science Team in the game despite Coomer's plea, The Streamer Team figure out a way to get their Gordon out. It takes a long time, and there's concerns like " what if he gets into our bank accounts and leaks everything?"
But after promises were made and such, Gordon can hop from computer to computer and game to game Y2kbenrey style.Because im a sucker and want them happy. Let em be happy.
HL2VRAI can still work in this au. Hold my hand, it can still work. I have big...er... moderately sized evil ideas. Okay. Trust me and my moderately sized evil ideas.
Something something Gordon hops back into HL to check up on it, and when he doesn't come out after a long while the Team go in and find what was a few hours for them was years for in game. Something something
And that their old identities are taken over by new ai. ( HAZZA ANOTHER SWAP. ) also Gordon's been taken to the torture factory and they need to go get him back. With like.... Addi. Yeah.
Instead of just popping in to help like the og, Addi's sticking around and sometimes just fucking disappears for no reason. Maybe. That might not stay in this au. I might change that. Idk.

am i the asshole for driving away my friend?
hey reddit . im posting from a throwaway bc i dont want people connecting this to my work (though i doubt youve heard of me anyways) but i think i messed up terribly and i want to know if this is something i can still fix
also sidenote sorry if my grammar or punctuation or word choice or anything of that sort are poor. i have not been sleeping well for some time
i (19m) am a video game developer. its been my passion for years now and i am currently in uni studying computer games development and programming and level design . although i have considered dropping out but thats a point for later . i post on itch io and such and sometimes i make flash games but idk if anyone reading this has played a single one
its been a bit of a hard time for me, if im being honest. i really like games and i really liked making them but i dont think im very good at programming or art or level design or any of the other things that go into the process of making a game . at least a profitable and fun one .
so i ended up coming to this computer science study group in the hopes maybe someone could teach me to be better at programming. and i met this girl. i dont know exactly how old she is, but i want to say she was maybe two or three years ahead of me in her schooling, so probably about 22. anyways lets call her E
E was studying pure computer science and wanted to do it at a high level . so of course she was pretty good at helping me with my really rudimentary programming stuff . and she was friendly and funny and we liked hanging out so we ended up being good friends . she actually complimented my games, once i got them to function, and said my pixel art was cute . my point is we were close . maybe we wouldnāt have been so close if we had anyone else, but i was still new and she was pretty lonely .
really shortly after i met her though i started having fucked up dreams. ok thatās not entirely accurate because i had been having fucked up dreams on occasion for a while . but they got worse and she showed up in them. it was all me locking her in stairwells hitting her over the head and piling earth over her body filling her mouth with mud and cement. terrible things
so i stopped sleeping. i tried not to at least. im pretty sure most uni kids pull all nighters. i know i did even when i was younger. but i wasnt studying for exams or whatever. i was just trying and trying to force myself awake and i started to lose it a bit. my grip on things. it felt like i was sleepwalking through classes and even like i was dreaming when i was awake. id nod off for a moment in a lecture and id feel dirt caked on my hands under my fingernails. and no matter how much i scrubbed and how much i knew with my eyes it wasnt there it just. refused to come off . and it felt like her blood
i donāt remember how we got on the topic but i remember she told me how she always worried a little bit about being trapped . like claustrophobia of a flavor that shows itself in locked doors and thick walls and collapsing underground stations. that made me feel even more odd about the whole thing . of course i felt awful about hurting her but that part of it was like a joke i didnāt get
and then weirdly enough i got really into nineties 3D games. they have these skyboxes that make it really obvious theyāre not actually infinite . and i thought that was kind of interesting in context. like the whole world is a box youāre in so why worry so much about if the stairwell door will lock behind you
i kind of started thinking that was something i would like to replicate with my art . like if i put all my issues into one game they would be out of my brain and gone . maybe it could even be pleasant without the whole preying on my friends terror thing
so now we get to the part of the story where i fear i really really messed up . i made this game . and honestly i dont remember the development very well . sleep deprivation is a dreadful thing . i remember again and again while i was making it kind of coming to my senses not knowing where i was and finding massive parts of the game that i didnt remember making at all.
it was set in a stairwell but i dont remember buying or making the models for the door . there was a really weird kind of way the game functioned with an infinite path going up but how that functioned i couldnt tell you . and i dont remember composing the audio or where i might have downloaded it from except that i never liked to listen to it for very long . i dont know why i kept it in the game
i always showed my games to E but i really wanted her to see this one in particular. so she came by my flat and played it and then i remember she just glared at me . there was something to the look she gave me . it was like she was completely horrified and was trying to pretend she was just angry instead
she hasnt spoken to me since . and i think i fucked up . i knew it was playing at her issues and i think maybe i even made it at least subconsciously to pry at them. like the same part of me with dirt under my fingernails was also sitting there typing away on that keyboard .
but at the same time its just a game . and im better at programming now too . like something just clicked there
honestly though development lately has been weird. its been hard trying to go back to the old sort of pixel art platformers and shoot em ups and that kind of thing i used to make. every time i open any program its like im just staring at it and imagining skyboxes. putting it all in a box imprisoning every world i make that kind of thing. like i said earlier ive been considering dropping out. but i dont know. i think id need to sleep on it
i still have weird fucked up dreams but E isnt in them anymore . i dont know where shes gone . i think maybe my idea worked somehow and i did transfer all that shit to my art . and then that just all went right to her . but i dont know if i like that idea or hate it
anyways reddit am i the asshole?
AITA?

OH MY GOSH I LOVE WRITING SYNTAX HEADCANONS FOR U AND I LOVE YOUR OPINIONS FOR MY HEADCANONSSš«¶
If I have to be honest syntax is lowkeyyyy jealous? like talk abt a person next to him he'll be like "huh they did that? patheticš" but if u ask him if he is jealous "jealous?me?? nah Im only telling u that person is dumb"
I think he would understand if ur pretending to sleep but he would act like he didn't noticed like ur having a hard time sleeping but u dont wanna wake syntax cause of that ur pretending to sleep GOT WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY RIGHT??š
His science skills are another level but..he was probably bad at history when he was a kid
ask him about something in history (like ottomans n stuff like that) he would just stare at u embarrassed
I think he would remember small details about u like tell him your fav food or fav color he'll keep those in his mind (cause he is a awesome bf duhš)
Idk why but he was a creepypasta fan when he was a kid..or a science nerd
Im so sorry if I wrote short headcanons Im so sick these days idk why
Have a great day š«HUG.
to cope with the jealousy I imagine he'd either he in SUPER DENIAL or try to impress you with HIS genius because, in his mind, if you're complimenting someone else, he must not be trying hard enough/you must not see how smart he is
Of course, you're quick to remind him that your heart is his, and only his, every time to find out what he's doing
And SLEEP, yes I imagine Syntax finds it difficult to intrude on someone's personal space or when they're having a moment, especially if it's someone he respects. However, if he thinks it's going too far, he'll quickly get fed up and try to solve the problem.
And yeah, I don't think Syntax was ever a history-centered dude, hENCE why he didn't care for some of those questions on that test in chapter 12 of Heartstrings, like whoever was the first computer programmer. It's just not something he's interested, and would either brush it off when you ask him or feel embarrassed for not knowing
YES YES
THIS BASTARD PAYS AN INCREDIBLE ATTENTION TO DETAIL. He'll treat this relationship like fucking glass and would never to anything to put it in danger.
Hence why he'll note on the little things that you like, or things that make you tick.
Of course, this only occurs when he starts caring about you.
EYO FEEL BETTER SOON ANON!! DRINK WATER, STAY SAFE, DO CRIME- joking, but in all seriousness I conjure an imaginary soup for your soul :))
I actually asked why you specifically despise donna tartt so much, like other than the reasons I mentioned (and the heavy substance abuse that's supposed to pass off as cool) I think the hate towards the secret history is unwarranted. needless to mention that I don't think there's a certain rule book on not making your characters well read and that if you did then you must, at all costs, be pretentious. even so, donna tartt employed a 'show not tell' style of writing wherein we can actually imagine why the characters being interested in the classics impacts their daily line of thinking, unlike someone like murakami or sally rooney or even fucking john green who make their characters smart just for the sake of it. i read somewhere that the study of the classics was brought up so often in the novel to convey that it was academia that brought the students to their ruin. if it weren't the greeks and poetry and languages that interested the students and computer science for all I care, I don't think anyone would consider the novel this pretentious.
that being said, she wrote the novel very young and i think she wrote it in her best efforts in the 90s as a white woman. I read it at 13 and it was one of the first that I read that fleshed out characters this much and I don't think it's so vile if a 15 year old has it on their fav Goodreads lists lol maybe her other books suck idk
I have no idea how you got the impression that I despise Donna tartt since my blog has only ever vocally hated one author and one author only (hanya yanagihara I hope she sneezes or something whenever I think of her) if this is about me giving tsh 2 stars, it was because I thought it was fine but it wasnāt really for me. Iām trying to recall any context within which you inferred that I despised Donna tartt but apart from some tongue in cheek hyperbolic jokes Iāve made years ago I canāt think of oneā¦I donāt hate tsh it just isnāt for me anymore, despite all the prose
Iām not sure what youāre asking of me? I agree with you? I donāt really care if 15 year olds love the book, because I thought it was the bees knees when I was 15 too, and honestly good for 15 year olds if they love a book which is clearly above their supposed reading level!
hi! how have you been since the hell that ensued after halloween is?
also could you do a batboys college au? like their major and how the reader would meet them and all that jazz? šš
-š„
hi anon!! iām not sure what ur talking about @ the halloween stuff hvsdhjs but! here are the batboys hcās! iām not very familiar with duke thomasās character enough to write about him tbh, so heās not included here :( but if you want me to add him let me know!! i hope you enjoy!!
dick grayson
out of all the batboys i really didnāt know how to choose a major for him
but
i think heād do law tbh, specifically criminal lawĀ
his main motivation to become a police officer in bludhaven had been to be able to help people in any way he canĀ
i forgot if itās canon or not but he does realize how corrupt it is and he quits but thatās another thing we wonāt get into that lmaoĀ
anyways yes letās just stick with lawĀ
