Come to the dark; it's plenty bright!
We have cookies and parties at night!
We're so friendly, so why do you fear?
Do we threaten what you hold dear?
Listen to me just this once, lest-
Drama? Violence? Oh, you jest.
Come along and learn our ways;
Our customs and arts are sure to amaze!
Did a cryptic message frighten you?
A vector perturbing to someone new?
Headcanons, comics, fanmade lore
Have no bearing on our fandom's core
It's okay, that's alright
Now become a princess overnight
Come and laugh, learn our ways
We're always here to share our days~ Hey There, Pals!, 260705c
Lately, I've been itching to play on a Minecraft SMP. However, ever since that incident that got their welcome worn out on Scratch, I haven't had one to play on. Would any of you happen to know of a good SMP? The server I'm looking for should be Bedrock-compatible, be relatively vanilla, and should ideally be recently created or have a low player count. My holiday vacation starts tomorrow, and I want to spend my time doing something productive!
Do you ever get this feeling of “there's this thing going around that people are firing shots over and I don't really understand, but I can't ask about it because I want to be an uninvolved neutral party to whatever is going on”?

Finisher Jivarium: A mysterious floral creature dwelling deep in the unstable Metaspire Caverns. She has fashioned a physical form in the likeness of Baba’s kind and treats Badbad as her adopted son. She can be defensive if caught off guard, but is generally well-meaning in her actions. She is aware that there are people looking for Badbad.
Badbad (RotFJ): A well-known cave explorer in the Overhere. On his last expedition into the depths of Blossom Island, he went missing for three days, before a letter in his name was shipped by jivarium to the local Anomaly Documentation Department. He noted that the Finisher Jivarium had secretly swapped his earring out for a ring made in her likeness; he found it suspicious, but ultimately ignored it.
While Rise of the Finisher Jivarium remains a dead project, the pilot is still available to be read: https://tbgforums.com/forums/index.php?topic=5987
I got in my head the notion that soft-body physics are somehow easier to program than hard-body physics. Am I correct in thinking that?
Did I ever release this level on RW-570? I can’t remember, but it’s been so long that I’ve started making a remastered version of this level.

My ability to worry about what I’ve said is frankly immeasurable. I can’t recount how many times I’ve made a post here, only to screenshot and delete it minutes later out of fear that I’ve said something that other people wouldn’t care about. But then again, posting pointless babble is the point of social media, isn’t it?
I would like to state that laughing is just a pitched-up version of crying. On an unrelated note, don't watch funny videos on a VR headset if you don't know what you're doing…
After watching a compilation of Mario horror fangames . . . I want to make a game on the basis of classic, low-data NES games, where the code and graphics are little more than blocks of hexadecimal data. So that I can create those cool effects from when the game tries to interpret code as graphic data, or as a level spritemap. There would be technical limitations, of course, but that would be beside the point.
Have the TBGs been down for everyone else, or just me? Attempting to access the website results in a connection timeout rather than an error page, 404 or domain registrar landing page. It’s been that way for at least a few weeks, and I haven’t seen anyone else mention it . . .
While playing with my Pokémon typing Sudoku thing, I remembered this elemental typing network that I designed during my Fighting Simulator 3 phase. Instead of individual strengths and weaknesses, relationships between types had a two-way strength and weakness at proportional values. The pink numbers next to the types indicate their offensive and defensive strengths. Maybe I’ll tabulate the system…

Why is my mind playing puppet shows with itself at these hours? I don't wanna play Super Smash Bros. in a broken metagame; I want to actually sleep.
UNSOLICITED FACT: in Pokémon Crystal, it was possible to battle and trade over a wireless connection by connecting the Game Boy to a cellphone, a’la dial-up internet. This was one of Nintendo’s many failed attempts to adopt internet functionality into their games and consoles, but at least it wasn’t their worst!
