Merchandise, baby! Step 1, get followers. Step 2, push merch. Step 3, disappear from the face of the internet completely

The first time I ever played skyrim, I just went full wander mode and just ran around. I kicked a chicken and then swam down a river to see where it led. Eventually I came across a Frost Giant herding sheep. I killed one of its flock, and then spent the next few hours evading this fucking Giant as it relentlessly pursued me over every terrain. Bit by bit I whittled him down and bit by bit he took chunks out of me. On my last legs, I spotted a town and ran full belt to it and the guards came to my aid, and tears of gratitude came to my eyes as I was rescued by my human brethren, and together they all took him down. Deciding that I had had enough of the nomadic lifestyle and wanted to settle down, I headed into the city, only to be promptly attacked and arrested for kicking that chicken from earlier.

“Hey! Listen! Listen!” ~ I’ve survived entire lifetimes with that twittering into my ear to no avail. I am going to climb that mountain and will use every levitation hack that I know to make it happen.

Same way Smosh did it back when youtube was ad-free

I place a steady hand on their shoulder and force them to the floor. If they’re going to apologize, then they can start by licking my boots for the great transgression they have put upon me.

Do they not know how to properly beg for mercy in the company of their betters? Their lack of foresight deeply upsets me, and as they sit there bawling their eyes out, I gently remind them of all their failings in life.

It usually leaves me quite chipper, and I spend the rest of the day regaling them in tales of my success and generosity, and bring up studies relating to genetics, phrenology, and sharp leather attire.

It was a moment of easy unscripted spontaneity, on a popular platform known for pushing out the most desperately formulaic content for the sole purpose of making money.

Things like that have a lot of staying power because their intent was pure.

You do get used to it to some degree, but yes please bring the keyboards back

Newgrounds. Hasn’t had a UI upgrade in near damn 20 years. The vibe hasn’t changed and is still a great place for budding creatives to showcase their work.

The search function on the side is pretty decent, and clicking on the sourced link of a post shows you all the other times it was posted.

I do understand this. Being grabbed by a woman who repeatedly yells that she wants money, or the guy who says he just wants some money to eat, so you give him some spare change and then that act in itself invites him to single you out of a crowd every single time until you learn to just not walk that route anymore.

My sympathy for them is there, but it definitely needs a grace period to recharge. I wish the world housed and fed people better so that their endless suffering didn’t spill out and overwhelm my limited capacity for it. I know how selfish that sounds.

Our increasingly cashless soceity is not doing them any favours. I wish I could easily just give a cent here and there wirelessly as I’m walking down the streett
