Hey! ✨ Today I'm sharing something different from my usual content with you! I just published a new blog post about my gaming journey. In the post, I talk about how I used to think that The Sims was the only game I could play because of my disability, and how wrong I was. Plus, I'm sharing my top 10 cozy games that I recommend for new gamers. I hope you'll enjoy reading it! Thanks for taking the time to check it out! 💛

I'd also love to know about your favorite cozy games? 🤓

Я сегодня планировала заняться составление коллекций в симс 3, чтобы потом мне проще было искать нужные предметы. Но что-то пошло не так и я зависла в игре под названием Big Farm Story. Она такая увлекательная и яркая, что я не могу никак оторваться))) А еще я теперь хочу себе постельное белье с такими ленивцами)) Today I planned to start making collections in the Sims 3, so that later it would be easier for me to search for the necessary items. But something went wrong and I got stuck in a game called Big Farm Story. She is so charming and bright that I can not tear myself away))) And now I want bed linen with such sloths))

I wonder, does Avery actually react when you get back from Remys farm/ does she chew you out about where you've been or does she not care at all?

I think I saw Whitney reacting to it in game? But who else? (cause I feel like I missed out. Nobody seemed to care not even Robin 😔)

#Avery immediately drags Dee into the car (she hits her head on the way down) and explodes in her face bc she had to settle for her second- #-favorite chewtoy < ignore that she never admitted that #Would avery even believe the farm story is my question #Dee cagely tries to avoid the full story until Avery has her essentially backed into a corner (literally. The car doors are locked BTW) #Avery only believes her once she stops hiding behind her backpack; takes her clothes off and shows her the 'damage' #Avery would laugh in her face i think dfsdf. She'd find it incredibly entertaining. #'You're chest was big before but you could pass as an actual cow now" < it takes every muscle in dees body to not react #dol rambles #sorry I'm back with my deevery delusions #avery the businessbutch #dee the defiant

Everyone in Digimon World -next 0rder-: Oh man, it's so weird you have TWO partners! Usually people only have one! You must be very special to have two!

Akira, Atsushi (Junior), the Digimon Story protagonists, Koh, Sayo, Shuu, Kizuna, Takumi, Ami, and Keisuke running around with three Digimon all the time:

#digimon #digimon world #digimon story #i know there's a difference between settings in the franchise #and world has different rules than story #but it's just funny to think about #everyone making a big deal about how you have two partners in next order #meanwhile in story games you're encouraged to bring not just three digimon for the front line #but a slew of reserve digimon just in case #and that's not even getting into the digimon you have on the farm...

Omg thank you for the ask and the opportunity to rant about my all time favorite daydream fic!

I have been daydreaming about this one forever, it's gone through so many iterations and morphed so much since the first time the idea "omg but what if Willow and Tara had a gay little farm" popped into my head, but it still is The Gay Little Farm fic in my mind until I hopefully come up with a better title lol.

The Gay Little Farm is a gothic horror-y story set in a canon-divergent AU where Willow doesn't go back to Sunnydale after season 6. The fic itself is set several years down the line, after Sunnydale has been destroyed, when-- after spending some time learning more about herself through traveling, living with various covens, going to community college in San Francisco, and eventually getting a degree in computer science and working for a robotics lab-- Willow has recently bought a small farm in New England (I was missing Massachusetts when the idea was first conceived, don't judge lmao. Plus you can't really beat the ambient horror vibes of rural New England).

By the time the fic starts, Giles is the only one of the group that still talks to her. Buffy and Xander were pretty pissed about her decision to not come back, but Giles supported it ultimately because he felt all her emotions in Grave, so he understands the depths of her anguish and understands that she really doesn't know herself anymore, and supports her trying to figure out who she is on her own terms. (Also, he supports her because I asked the very essential question: "what if the btvs writers had decided to leverage how similar Willow's trajectory is to Giles's backstory even the teeniest tiniest bit?" lmao).

Throughout this time, they've emailed each other extensively, like nearly every day, but when Willow's emails start to become less and less frequent after buying the farm, Giles doesn't really think much of it; he knows she's busy trying to get everything set up to be an operational growing season, and that she doesn't have an internet connection at her new house yet so she has to go into town to email him.

It's explicable, so he doesn't worry about it until one day he gets several increasingly bizarre, almost unintelligible, concerning emails in very quick succession.

(lol I'm gonna put a read more because this got long lol. But if anyone else wants to send me one of these ask games : Put “📓” or some other version of a book emoji into my inbox and I’ll explain the plot of a fanfiction that I haven’t written but daydream about.)

She doesn't reply to any of his emails, doesn't answer the phone so he gets on the first flight across the Atlantic to go check on her (it's partly panic, but partly because he's not really pleased with where his life is at the moment anyway, but I won't get into that, this is already getting too long lol, just let it suffice to say he's glad for the excuse to just pack off to somewhere else suddenly). But when Giles gets there, Willow seems perfectly fine. She says she doesn't even have any clue what he's talking about when he tries to bring up the emails, and he figures she must just be embarrassed or something and not want to talk about it, so he drops it.

He decides to stay at the farm for a bit to keep an eye on her and make sure she's okay, but the longer he's there, the more and more weird things start happening. Even as he falls into the rhythms of life on her little farm and gets comfortable there, he can't shake the feeling that something is very wrong. He's having bizarre dreams that are becoming increasingly prophetic, even though there's absolutely no way he should be having prophetic dreams. He starts remembering things-- or at least they feel like memories, but they're certainly not things that ever happened to him. One night, he catches Willow in the middle of what looks like a blood magic ritual, but when he stops her, it's like she wakes up from sleepwalking and has absolutely no recollection of what happened. He's suspicious of Willow and what she might be doing, but also increasingly convinced the house is working some kind of dark magic on them both, so he sets out to research the place. But the nearby town clerk's office, the town's historical society, everywhere he can think to check has absolutely no record of this house existing.

Anyway, I won't spoil what is actually going on with the house because I am for real going to write this (I sort of started a while ago, but as I watched more of the show, my plot and ideas changed SO much). But really, at its core, everything that's going on with the house is about processing their grief, about building a life, about them repairing their relationships, and about the two of them having to come together to do all that by working together to figure out what's going on (although, Willow already suspects what's going on long before Giles even arrives, she just doesn't want to accept it...). The whole story is just like, what if Willow and Giles reconnected in adulthood and finally worked through some of their immense baggage about each other but also just their baggage in general? :) And also there was a farm. :)

#myfic #thank you so much for sending this i had so much fun answering!! love to share my stories about my little guys #once i finish the current big fic im working on #this is the next one i want to write so. keep an eye out. #literally i was actually so so close to entirely abandoning the idea about willow having a farm. #bc originally it was a willow and tara have a farm together and then giles comes to stay on the gay little farm with them :) #i literally probably thought of that watching s4 and then i remembered that tara was going to die and i was like :) idc :) farm :) #but I think the further i got the more like... idk it just didnt really feel genuine to the spirit of the farm and what i wanted to tell #for her to just be inexplicably alive? it just wasnt the story i wanted to tell #so then i was like okay :) Tara's spirit is on the farm :) and then Giles and Willow bring her back to life :) #and then I watched s6 and was like WOW. So apparently !! being resurrected !! fucking SUCKS!!!!!!! #and like. i couldn't do that to my girl I just COULDNT!! #and then i was thinking about it more the timeline made no sense it was like why is willow on this farm why is she on the farm alone #and by this point i had like. a considerable amount of Giles coming to visit her on the farm written lmao #but even tho i was like these are all good scenes and good writing like WHAT is the context WHAT is going on #and apparently backpacking is the best time to have fic ideas ever #bc i remember the exact moment where it came to me like a fucking epiphany just. oh. its canon divergent. its an s7 au. #i was out in the hammock watching the moon and scrambled back into the tent to get my notebook (almost woke my friend up in the process) #and was like frantically scribbling down how it all finally came together by moonlight in the hammock #so im glad i didn't abandon the idea and let it keep puttering around until the hammock worked its magic #I’ll also add. there’s an accompanying playlist. that I play while I daydream about it lmao.

Ayaka is benched and permanently lvl 60 asdfgh my team has been, like, forever Chongyun Diona Sucrose, previously Hu Tao (momentarily Ayaka) and now Yae Miko -Lucky

LOL that's how I feel about Itto/Hutao. I was so excited to get him until I realized I needed to farm bugs and said no, I don't think so. Tbh I didn't really like Hu tao's playstyle even though there's nothing wrong with it. Idk, maybe I'm just a baby that doesn't like seeing my characters burn themselves to deal damage. Literally setting yourself on fire so when you run at someone, they will also be set on fire. He is perma lvl 60 and probably going to stay that way. I actually really want to use chongyun more but it's a work in progress.

#lucky #lucky anon #im telling you if I didn't friendship farm I would use the same 4 characters #idk who exactly but zhongli is probably on that team #i love geo dad #and because i dont have any other shield character #i was going to build thoma but his materials are on a different island #and i dont care about him enough to do the story #fuck mushrooms and bugs im so fucking tired of them ;-; #super duper big mwah #lovely anon #anon ask

Interaction between myself and a student from today:

Student: *Sees a blister on his foot. Bursts into tears.* I need a band-aid!!

Me: Oh no! I don’t know where the band-aids are, and the teacher has stepped out for a minute. When she comes back, I’ll ask her. For now, how about I clean it off and see if that helps?

Him: Yes, clean it please 🥺

Me: *Grabs a tissue, gives it a little kiss, fake cleans the blister* How about that? All better?

Him: No! I still need a band-aid!!

*Teacher comes back (perfect timing!), shows me where the band-aids are*

Me: *Puts band-aid on the blister* Here we go! All better?

Him: *Still crying pitifully* Yay-yes. I feel a lot better now!! 🥹

#jess rambles #work chronicles #I’ll call him Jones for future stories and to tag #Jones #anyway #fun facts on ‘Jones’ #I crack up every time he says yes #he always says it like ‘yay-yes’ #with a little smile on his face #so cute #he’s very silly and sweet #he likes farm animals and construction equipment #I also let him play with my tangle today and he pretended it was a ‘sea snake’ unprompted #he has a big imagination

I wasn't planning to make Sergey Razumovsky a horsegirl in my historical AU fic, but I kinda like it lol.

He/she also gets compared to a wild horse in 2 chapters, and that's actually so real.

#cavalry became a big theme #Yusupov and Urusova are both descendants of Edigu and the Nogai horde #they have an actual cavalry charge #also Yusupov names themselves after Nadezhda Durova #and then from war to solarpunk! #they can do farm stuff with horses #and romantic dates riding peacefully together in nature #glad I finally have a thread connecting the two very different parts of the story #romantic dates for Yusupov and Razumovsky I mean #sergey razumovsky #felix yusupov

"if everyone can afford to live nobody will want to work anymore"

My dude, there's this weird lady on social media who goes into a Walmart and deep cleans their bathrooms until she gets kicked out and she does this for seemingly no other reason aside from internet clout.

She does a better job than the employees who are getting paid minimum wage are forced to do.

When I was employed my employer got after me for cleaning too thoroughly because that wasn't the only thing in my job description.

If we just empowered the disabled the neurodivergent and the weird more we'd have armies of people doing random fucking labor because it's an obsession or it's fun or it's something they're able to do as opposed to the stressors of a multiple task regular job.

That one guy who liked mixing paints got fired for bragging about how much he loved his job! "Nobody wants to work" my ass.

We lack a proper local textile, woodworking, and general manufacturing industry because rather than make local craftsmen able to live off their work we outsource clothing, toys, furniture, etc. to sweatshops overseas so the rich cunts that own the brand logos get ungodly rich at the expense of paying foreigners peanuts.

#text post #negative #I'm just so mad #my body is broken so I'm an outlier #but my cousins feel bad about their body image because their body types are ideal for farming but nobody can be farmers anymore #we have stories of individuals almost singlehandedly assembling barns being told to children who will never have a reason to set foot in one #nobody lives on their land anymore its just hired contractors from some big corporation coming through #it's like unions lobbied to make sure the triangle shritcoat fire would never hapoen again and ceos responded by outsourcing instead #which is similar to how 3D animation killed 2D animation. the CGI artists have less rights #fucking hell

a reflection on MatPat's plagiarism

Hello, my name is Della, or micer2012, and 2 years ago Game Theory plagiarized three Tumblr posts of mine, making a video that now holds almost 6 million views.

My posts explaining his plagiarism made their rounds on Reddit, Tumblr and Twitter, but despite the Hermits and Pooka commenting on it (generally in support of me or saying they don’t know enough details about the situation to say either way), MatPat and his team have never owned up to anything, and no mention of my name is present on the video. The one Reddit post they made denying it (which was made before my detailed takedown, which they have never responded to (though the mods on the r/GameTheorists Reddit were kind and made sure it stayed up)) didn’t even mention me by name, just referring to me as “a tumblr user”. (Though one of the screenshotted comments in the body of the post does say my name)

This experience was baffling, but it’s overall had a positive impact on my life. r/Hermitcraft gave me a Golden Apple Award (post of the year, 2021). My inbox was filled with excited fans, wanting to ask me questions or pose their own theories, far more than the hate I got. (Though the hate I got from Game Theory fans was VERY funny. I wondered why none of them gave me shit about saying “MatPat misgendered Evil Xisuma” before realizing none of them read that far into the post.)

And getting on a more personal, and much more important note, I met most of my current online friends through this, including my partner. It helped me grow closer with my irl friends as well and gave me an entertaining story that I tell whenever I have the chance. It was one of the first things in my life that really made me feel like my talents, my autistic hyperfocusing and analyzing of things I love, could be valuable. Useful. Exploitable. It blew my mind that MatPat thought an autistic kid’s ramblings about a Minecraft Youtube joke character were good enough to steal. To put an audible sponsorship on. To get 6 million views off of.

And that’s why I’m writing this post, this update years later. As you might’ve been able to guess, Hbomberguy’s Youtube video on plagiarism reopened this wound. It was really hard for me to sit through, it took days of pausing and taking breaks, because I had experienced everything he was talking about firsthand. 

In my 10 page long takedown post, I wrote about how his rewording of my sentences made him say things that were incorrect, just like Filip did. The content farm production style that made big companies like Cinemassacre take one creator (AVGN/MatPat) and turn him and his content into a brand, a voice that reads out scripts by other people with other opinions/theories, is a history shared with Game Theory. What really hit me was Harris talking about how big creators only do this to people they think they can get away with doing it to. How they view their victims as lesser, as not deserving of their words, repackaging them as their own to give to an audience that can gain from hearing them, but deserves better than to have to listen to the original victim.

That’s the thing, I 100% think a video version of my theory to expose to a bigger community than “Evil Xisuma Fans on Tumblr” is a great idea!! Near the end of the video Harris talks about how video adaptations of things could be a great market, even an accessibility tool, and I completely feel that about my posts. I wrote them quickly assuming the reader was someone well versed on Evil Xisuma lore, after not even watching most of the CarnEvil series, and the diagrams I made to explain them are even less comprehensible. Harris makes a joke that I completely agree with, 

“I’m sure some of my videos would do very well if someone translated them into English.”

I don’t think I would’ve ever made my posts if I didn’t have autism, and a special fixation on Evil Xisuma and Hermitcraft. I made them because I felt the character was being done an injustice, and because I wanted to share with other superfans this theory that might explain it away. I do think that MatPat plagiarizing me was ableist. I used to wonder a lot if this would’ve happened if my posts were articulated better, if they had been peer reviewed, if the posts themselves had been spread to a wider audience before MatPat made his video. At one point when the discourse was fresh (before I had the time to write out my 10 page rebuttal), a bigger YouTuber (100k subs at the time) messaged me and started talking on Discord, interested in possibly making a video on the discourse, but I think my style of typing and general enthusiasm drove him away. You can tell by a single look at my blog (or my original 3 posts!) that I don’t usually type like this. This post you’re reading now has been peer reviewed and edited, and took me hours to format correctly. That video could’ve been huge, the entire outcome of this MatPat situation would probably be much different.

I also used to stress a lot about “being the one who ruined Evil Xisuma’s story”. If you didn’t know, to me S8 Evil Xisuma’s story got wrapped up pretty quickly and unsatisfying (in my personal autistic opinion). (though this might’ve been due to s8 being experimental and ending early with moon big) There was no real culmination of the plot points and arcs going on, and I don’t want to blame myself, but when Xisuma said on stream (when the MatPat thing was first going on) that he didn’t want to focus on the discourse or draw more attention to it, it makes a lot of sense to me that he just wanted to wrap it all up as quickly as possible. For a while I beat myself up about it, of ruining the story of this character I love, but it’s not my fault. If anyone’s, it’s MatPats, but I don’t think it’s useful to just blame someone else. That’s how the story ended up going, and that’s fine. This is Evil Xisuma we’re talking about, their inconsistent lore is what made them such an interesting character. And notably, Pooka made an animation with an awesome culmination of Jeff, the Dreamer, Evil Xisuma, and his own sona’s story, and it makes me so happy to watch. Whatever Pooka does is of course his own choice, but I’m glad he got to give this personal story his own ending (if it is an ending, and not just the start of a new chapter!). 

Typing this all out and getting it off my chest has made me feel a lot better. For a while I wanted to make my OWN video essay about Evil Xisuma’s lore and CarnEvil’s lore, actually going episode by episode to explain it instead of just assuming you knew as much about Evil Xisuma as I did. That idea is still not off the table, but MCYT isn’t something I’m that into right now. Maybe if something else comes out about Evil Xisuma I’ll get back on it, but for now I’m fine with letting that go. But I want to make other videos, share other theories and analysis… if I have the freetime I’d love to make YouTube videos, and if I don’t have the time I’ll continue posting to my tumblr and infodumping to my friends. Apparently my infodumping is valuable enough “content” to steal! Writing this out has made me feel a lot better though, I’m really glad I got it out.

If anyone ever wants to talk to me about the things I’m obsessed with, or reach out to me as a source in a bigger discussion about Game Theory or other channels, my inbox is more than welcome :] Thank you for reading! 

Sincerely, a tumblr user.

[foone]

indie game dev is getting harder because we keep getting platforms shot out from under us. Cali & I were all ready to start working seriously on the Untitled Cow Farm Game before twitter imploded, then Unity imploded, and when she decided to shift to doing Femboy Factory instead, tumblr starts imploding, the one place it has any following at all.

Yeah it's terrible that tumblr is banning trans people for no reason, obviously, but the knock-on effects of these sorts of social media collapses isn't really realized, because of how they're naturally not public.

How much art have you not seen today because the artist had a big twitter presence and that fanbase didn't follow them off? how many games were going to be made with unity that now aren't? how many stories won't be written because they were going to be posted for a specific tumblr audience that's disappearing?
