Ok, bug spray... clean pants, long and short trousers, bug spray, band tees, something a little dressy, more bug spray, laptop, even more bug spray... I'm ready to go to Ophion!
Avaron1974 sweetie, I understand seeing the spider must have been frightening, since you were probably hoping for some Sarah shenanigans and there was no way for you to be mentally prepared but there was information about the fauna on ophion in the PDA, and if you look at it, it was a chance to let your anger out at something you hate without hurting stand-up philosophers
Ava, your people tend to be mean to those they care about ( Chris told that about Amanda) so I'm not sure if I should be offended by the 'special' or be flustered by the compliment.... in the meanwhile I'm scheming how to charm Becca of her undies....
Thread carefully miss Underhill, Ophion is far away from The Shire... and spiders can crawl at night....
Oh but Notty would never do something like that..She's a nice, gentle and innocent, she would never do that! No way she would write something like that.... the power fluctuations can't be caused by spider laying eggs that disrupt the systems
After seeing the comment about the tone of the thread possibly turning people away I figured that I would toss my first post (I think?) on f95 in this thread.
I think the thing for me about this thread is that it reminds me of what the internet was like in the nineties and maybe even early 2000's. It's at least partially due to rose tinted glasses of course, it wasn't like there weren't trolls or arguments. It just seems like somewhere along the line we went from conversations to one-liners and monologues. I suppose levels of intimacy on the internet is a really hard thing to describe. maybe we were more cognizant of the human on the other side of the modem? It sure does feel like some on the internet adopt a Baudrillardian view of internet interactions at least.
It's kind of funny to think about, but since we didn't have any sort of reference as to how one should behave on the internet, we used the polite styles of letter writing, or at least that's part of my guess. It also makes me realize how much more vulnerable it is to write like this than saying things like, "u mad bro?" and "triggered!"
While I don't find them intimidating to post in, threads that are half "save plz", "tell me this thing that was answered a page ago.", "this game doesn't contain my specific fetish! Dev, why did you create such a piece of garbage?" feel like a waste of time to comment in. They are, generally, a good place to find what you want by searching since nearly every question has already been asked if it's past a couple dozen pages.
after all those :words: here's some stuff about the actual game
I also had been meaning to post to say thank you to Notty for making a game that actually feels like the author knows what it's like to be an adult. I think it's important for me to post that I sort of swooned when Chris asked for consent.
