the thing that really gets me about desperate corporate greed lately is the fact that most of the offending services are owned by companies that literally can fix the problems at any moment but that would cut into their precious precious profits.

by enough to dethrone any of the billionaires and millionaires that own said companies? no not at all.

but they're encouraged by our system to hoard literally every single fucking penny they can, including the pennies they daydream about. they do not live in reality. they HAVE to own the world or else they're not actually a good company.

its not about making a good product its about running a good company and a "good company" in their eyes doesnt give a fuck what we experience or what we think. a "good company" makes profit year after year after year no matter what, even if the product they want to profitable has already reached it's target audience and cant really grow anymore.

And yet they should care what we think. Because there isn't actually anything stopping us from not using their services. they dont live in reality tho. idk its funny and weird and depressing lmao

#rotthoughts #creativelyrottedmind #idk man its just really fuckin funny #rambling abt youtube n adblockers lately #youtube u will NEVER believe this but you do not actually have to punish ME for being sick of YOUR shit #i would happily watch the ads if they weren't all 2+ minutes long #unskippable. garbage. that's peddling me absolute nonsense bullshit and sometimes actual scams #i would watch the ads if they weren't THE SAME THREE FUCKING ADS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER #if you didnt put hateful ads on queer creators' videos #i WOULD watch them or atleast i wouldnt despise them this much #idk anyway go make a neocities website for you mental health #fuck capitalism #fuck late stage capitalism #punk will never die we should all tell them to fuck off or something etc etc kill your local billionaire ✌️#firefox + ublock origin my bestie #dont let the companies and corporations win #theyre pathetic actually and if none of us give them money they die and weep and shit their pants and cry etc etc #kinda wanna watch all Current Popular Website die so i can see new ones that hopefully dont all regurgitate eachothers' uis #anyway

ppl keep saying the internet in the 90s/2000s was trash because it was full of nonsense but atleast there were WEBSITES.... all that's left online is social media and shopping and even the social media does nothing but advertise to you you can barely play any games in browser, especially mini games now they all want you to download the game because they're all longform and 1GB or above, no ask jeeves no yahoo answers no places for kids to hang out all day apart from like. Roblox (which you have to install..... and neopets is used by 20 yr olds no kids are playing on neopets) blogs now being mostly video based instead of written, phones being ppls primary source of entertainment so you are constantly being asked to download a app, Adobe flash gone so any flash based sites are gone and not even way back machine can bring them back unless u get a flash emulator

THE INTERNET IS DEAD AND BORING!

*the point isn't that everybody should just make a neocities, when as long as the internet exists, web development will always be here.

the point is the internet is increasingly becoming another pawn for monetisation and in turn is removing safe spaces for vulnerable groups of people, making things more inaccessible and is making the internet completely unusable. SHUT UP ABOUT NEOCITIES!!!!! I was just commenting on how most users of the internet aren't looking to start writing html because their experiences are getting worse the user isn't the problem it's literally these big companies that need to change

#text #THE 1GB OR ABOVE IS A EXAGGERATION!!!! i know!

On creating a wiki for your worldbuilding

Do you have a lot of lore to keep track of? Whether you're an author, a Game Master, or simply someone who really really likes worldbuilding, this post is for you.

Here's a quick overview of what I'll be talking about:

Platforms people use to create personal wikis

Formats and organization systems you may find useful when creating your own wiki

A brief look at the actual content you might put in your wiki (I'm planning a more in-depth post on that later with more images and demos)

And because this is gonna be a long'un, I'm putting a read-more here! I'll also make downloadable epub and PDF versions of this post available for free on my Ko-Fi at some point in the future.

(I'm also planning to reblog with a list of links later on, but I want this initial post shows up in search)

Also now that you're here, I'm going to say this isn't, like, super comprehensive or anything. I'm just talking about stuff I know a little about or have experience with. Please feel free to reblog with additions and/or corrections as needed!

What is a wiki?

According to Wikipedia, "a wiki is a hypertext publication collaboratively edited and managed by its own audience, using a web browser."

In this case, you'll likely be the sole person making updates to your wiki. The web browser part is optional these days as well, as you'll soon see.

Platforms for creating wikis

Websites for creating worldbuilding wikis

WorldAnvil

This one is actually designed for people who want to create big worldbuilding wikis.

Pros: Worldbuilding prompts! Those are great. It's got a pretty comprehensive set of article types too.

Cons: Kind of expensive to upgrade for features like making your wiki private, and it does NOT work well with adblock turned on, so if you don't want to pay for a membership you'll get inundated with ads. I'm not a huge fan of the interface in general and a lot of it isn't intuitive, but I like what they're doing so I support them anyway.

---

Tiddlywiki/Tiddlyhost.com.

In addition to having a cat as its icon and also a silly name, each 'article' you create with this is called a 'tiddler' which makes me think of Chuck Tingle. I haven't used it much myself yet, but I did make an account and it seems pretty neat.

---

Miraheze

A community-hosted wiki platform that runs on MediaWiki (which is what Wikipedia runs off of).

Pros: It's not Fandom.com.

Cons: You have to request a wiki and can't just make it yourself, as far as I can tell. I haven't actually looked into this one as much.

---

Neocities

An option for if you want to go super oldschool and create a website using only basic html and hyperlinks (without the handy shortcuts of bbcode or Markdown). Monthly cost is $5 usd if you want to have more space and your own domain.

Pros: 100% control over your content.

Cons: Doesn't support PHP databases for wiki software, and can be fairly labour-intensive to update if you break a link or something.

---

Fandom.com

Unfortunately, this one is the top result you'll get when you look up how to make your own wiki. I'm only including it here to tell you to stay as far away from it as possible!!

Its staff are known to ban wiki creators from their own wikis and a bunch of other nonsense that I'm not getting into here.

Programs and apps/web apps for creating worldbuilding wikis

Obsidian.md

My personal favourite. I'm planning to make a whole post about how I use it in the near future as part of this article series.

It's a markdown-based application that you can get on just about any platform (Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS, Android, etc) which is great. Obsidian is really easy to pick up and use and also has great themes and community plugins!

Best thing is, it's FREE and you only have to pay if you use their publishing service, which... I don't, so.

---

Notion

I've heard this one is pretty good too. Idk if it costs anything. It's another "second brain" style app (might be markdown also?) and I think it might do more than Obsidian, but I haven't checked it out much myself.

---

Microsoft Word/Google Docs etc.

...Or just about any word processor that lets you create internal hyperlinks. Word may work best due to the collapsible headings so it doesn't get too unwieldy, but *shrug* whatever floats your boat.

---

Excel/Google Sheets etc.

Or, again, any spreadsheet creator that lets you create internal hyperlinks.

I'd recommend having some basic spreadsheet knowledge before doing this. It could get complicated. Before I started using Obsidian, I was using Sheets to keep track of my glossary, notes about characters, and plot ideas.

Types of formatting & organization systems

There are as many organization systems as there are people who want to organize their stuff. Everybody needs something a little different! I find the ones that work best for me are systems that have a lot of customization options.

Here are a couple I know of.

Johnny Decimal

This system is absurdly simple in its concept and yet so versatile. From their website (it's just johnnydecimal dot com but I'll link it in a reblog later):

Take everything you need to organise and sort it in to, at most, ten large buckets.

Make sure the buckets are unambiguously different.

Put a label on each bucket.

Their website has a better explanation than I can give in this post, but I'll sum up the appeal of this system as quoted from their site: "There's only one place anything can ever be."

Usefully, part of this method is creating a directory for the rest of the system.

So if you're like me and tend to shove things wherever only to lose track of it later, this is a great system—especially when used in conjunction with the Zettelkasten Method (see below).

---

Zettelkasten Method

Originally devised as an extensive paper-based knowledge management system, Zettelkasten is meant to easily add new entries to a knowledge base while giving each one a unique ID for easy 'linking.'

The creator of this method said 'it is not important where you place the note, as long as you can link to it.'

As with the Johnny Decimal system, I can't explain it super succinctly (nor can the website, if I'm being honest), so I'll include a link in a future reblog for a video that gave me an excellent run-down of the basics.

Setting up your own system

An organization system is only useful if you can actually, y'know, use it.

It can be fun to set up a super-detailed organization system with predetermined categories for everything, but is it easy for you to use? How will you navigate it?

Making decisions

There will be a lot of decisions to make as you set up your system. The only set-in-stone rule I follow is... don't set anything in stone. It's okay if you decide something that doesn't work later on.

Figuring out your categories

My advice: go fairly broad. You can always sub-categorize. I'm going to go over my own wikis for Athenaeum and Rocket Boosters in detail in a later post, but here are the starting top-level categories I'd recommend for worldbuilders:

A meta category for notes about your database, templates, and any relevant research you've done.

Characters, including main characters, minor characters, and important figures

Worldbuilding

In the last category, which is the main reason for the existence of my wiki, I might have:

Culture

History

Locations

Organizations

Lore (if relevant)

Technology

Transportation

I'll go over the nuances of these 'main' subcategories in that future post I mentioned. In other words, the stuff that actually goes in those categories!

Determining the importance and relevance of worldbuilding elements

You'll need to figure out whether a topic is complex enough to deserve its own entry, or if it should be a sub-heading under another entry. It's okay if you decide on both! I have short subheadings under some entries that amount to "see [link to main entry on that topic]."

I've also decided to expand subheadings into their own topics, and I've removed topics as their own entry and shoved them under subheadings. I do this a lot, in fact! So it's okay if you don't know.

Templates

Will you be creating several of one type of entry?

Individual character profiles

Towns and cities

Factions

(to name a few)

It might be handy to figure out the basic types of information you'll need about each of those things and create a template for them.

A character template might have spaces for the basics, such as name, role, age, and so on.

Some characters will have a lot more information, and some might have even less than what your template dictates! And that's fine.

A word of warning about using system-creation as procrastination

Creating a wiki can be a daunting task. You might decide it's not for you, and that's okay. But you might also decide to go headlong into the process and work on every minute detail, and that is also okay, but.

But.

Beware of using your wiki as an excuse to procrastinate your actual writing/session preparation. Yes, use it to keep track of all the lore you've injected into your manuscript/campaign/whatever, just make sure it stays in its place as a companion to your main project rather than becoming your main project.

How formal should your entries be?

Honestly this one's entirely up to you. I have a mix. Some entries are written like Wikipedia entries with a thorough explanation of the topic with proper punctuation and formatting, while others are simply bullet-point lists of thoughts and ideas that I can return to at a later date.

What methods do you use to keep track of your lore and worldbuilding? Let me know in a reblog or comment!

And please make sure to check the notes. I'll be reblogging with links, and then reblogging that reblog to make sure they're, y'know, actually visible in the notes.

So in light of Tumblr Transphobia and the CEO's nonsense, here's a pastebin of Pillowfort links for anyone who wants to try it as an alternative.

Find them all here, there are fifty total. And, here is a link to another post on my blog that has another pastebin of 50 links with some basic information about Pillowfort itself.

And, here is a post on my blog with some information about another Tumblr alternative in Neocities during their core product strategy arc.

Uprising: Black Scrapbook Hub

Summary

Bits and pieces from my BioShock epfic of Jack Wynand, Johnny Topside, Eleanor Lamb, Dr. Sofia Lamb, and many other brutal motherfuckers. Lots of first draft nonsense. Some of it won't ever be used. Listed in chronological order.

Rating

R Content warnings: Extreme violence, swearing, -isms and -phobias, sexual violence

Notes

Consider this work as Creative Commons 4.0 BY-NC-SA. Feel free to translate, podfic, fanbind, MST, or otherwise reinterpret this work as long as you give me credit, link to the original, and do not profit off of the venture.

I’m fine with criticism—most especially when you catch factual mistakes. It’s very big and very old and I ain’t affordin’ no editors anytime soon, so I see that kind of thing as a huge favor.

And thank you for reading. You don’t have to be here. I appreciate you and all your time.

Uprising Chapters

PART II: UPRISING

The story of Rapture, from founding to failure.

Gimmicks Johnny Topside's Rapture debut goes off without a hitch. OR DOES IT

What Is Mine, What Is Left Subject Delta comes back from the dead and doesn't much like it. Warning: extreme violence.

Brother Jack The return of Jack.

Slow Drive Delta walks to Sinclair's house and freaks out some dogs. (Topclair.)
