software tinkerer and aspiring rationalist. transhumanist and alterhuman

I try to be very careful about CWing things. sometimes I make mistakes but I want to make my posts as safe to read as possible

I sometimes post NSFW/kinky/lewd things behind CWs. this should go without saying but if you're a minor please do not interact with anything lewd/NSFW that I post

I have very limited energy and am very shy so it might take me a long time to reply to messages sometimes, or I might not be able to reply at all. this is kind of an "output only" account for the most part, but I'm hopeful that I can change that over time

I sometimes use curly braces to {clearly show where a grammatical phrase begins and ends}, like that. you can think of them like parenthesis in code or math, except they operate on grammar instead

existential horror, job offer

Job Opening: Unsettling Presence (field agent)

Responsibilities:
- board the last trains of the day, projecting an aura of discomfort
- follow citizens on their daily business for suspicious amounts of time, then turn off and disappear, never to be seen again
- mumble meaningless yet alarming phrases under your breath
- spend ridiculous amounts of time in places of liminality like public transport stops, parking lots or hovering around queues, then leave without giving an obvious explanation for your behavior
- ask for directions to places you are dressed in entirely the wrong outfits for, like the United Nations or the OPEC while in areas people who have business with those entities would rarely enter
- mime phone conversations with grand implications

Requirements:
- nowhere better to be
- nothing better to do
- suspicious scars from injuries are a plus
- ability to blend into crowds at first glance while being weirdly out of place if you think about it
- dresscode: slightly off-kilter

You will be paid according to the Collective Agreement for Cryptids (classed as Minor Physical Anomaly)

If you think you are fit for the job, simply start performing your duties. Payment will make its way to you.

Trickster spoilers

update: I created my own DSL for expressing Trickster spells in a more familiar Lisp-like syntax with some syntactic sugar for abstracting the complexity, and it looks like this:

($mine-tree; $self $block-type $coords) =
  (run-same-args;
    (switch;
      (!=; block-type (get-block-type; $coords)) '()
      '(void;
         (break-block; $coords)
         (sleep)
         ($self; $self (+; $coords (vec; 0 1 0)) block-type))))

($mine-tree;
  $mine-tree
  (get-block-type; (get-look-pos; (get-player))))
  (get-look-pos; (get-player))

@Undead_Zeratul oohh that sounds so good. I love shooters with a slow burn, survival-oriented gameplay loop. it sounds like your addons would be perfect for me

also I had no idea you made HDest addons too! which of the ones in the google doc are yours?

@liese omg I looked her up and it extremely seems like it. so she gives people cursed-looking artifacts that I assume seem helpful on the surface but also have dangerous downsides? I’m ngl I really like her vibe lol

@fargate oohhh. it sounds like this character captures exactly what I love about fae. so he’s able to create automata to serve him?

also I’m guessing that there are four courts in this world instead of (what I assume is) the usual two? I’m curious how they differ from each other. is the winter court still more overtly cruel/malicious than the summer court?

@Undead_Zeratul woahh thank you for the modlist! that is actually amazing to have. I’ve already really enjoyed Ugly as Sin’s survival mechanics (especially the food. I find it so grounding to make an area safe then take some time to eat and drink) but Spicy Air sounds amazing too

I’m currently using an older version of HDest with an older set of addons so I’m missing a lot of whatever has been added lately (I’m too lazy to update lol) but if/when I do update I am definitely checking this modlist out - thank you!

@kasdeya

Ugly as Sin adds some nice scavenger style mechanics like scarce spawns, looting off corpses, etc.

Spicy Air makes it so that things can be flagged to emit or consume toxicity in the air around them, and being in that space causes you to breathe in and increase toxicity in yourself, dealing various types of damage to you over time. You can find gas masks and whatnot too which help.

Merchants can break the vibe/aesthetic a bit, but if configured well enough, they can provide a nice bit of benefit for finding secrets.

Personally, I run with quite a lot of addons myself, but I'm also refining and tweaking my entire setup to just be more of a slow-paced, spooky survival feel rather than a fast-paced tactical shooter.

It's taken me the last few years of curation and now the last year or two of helping maintain/upgrade these community addons, but I'm finally starting to make meaningful progress.

@esheep I think I know a lot about video games. they’re my special interest and I even know about really obscure ones like Spirits of Xanadu or extremely niche mods for niche games like Clean Up Hell for ZDoom

but then I find a post like this and realize just how big the video game world is and how much I have yet to understand, because I have no idea what either of these are

horror-themed post. fairy vs. faerie. D/s-coded and slightly lewd-coded
Show content

fairy:

  • probably pink or purple
  • glittery
  • tiny
  • little wings
  • kid-friendly
  • maybe mischievous at worst

faerie:

  • tall, slender, inhuman features
  • too delicate to exist
  • radiate a dangerous, enthralling beauty
  • everything they touch is addictive
  • utterly alien morality
  • can take things from you that you didn’t realize could be given
  • harm through generosity. bondage through pleasure
  • they are to us as we are to animals
  • like to take and keep pets
  • don’t even look at them. if you hear music, run

@Undead_Zeratul I would definitely count Voices of the Void! and also thank you for reminding me of that game. when I played it a few years ago it was in too much of a rough state but I really want to give it another try because IMO it had so much potential

Fun fact: paper forms have no validation requirements before submission.

This still isn't exactly correct but there isn't space for an essay.
