You should be able to transfer over your illnesses to anyone who says it can't be that bad

Hey so I can tell when your music is AI generated, especially your lyrics, and I am laughing at you for being uncreative and fucking boring. I am completely pointing and laughing. Pick up a guitar and pencil or gtfo.

apparently people are pissed that david howard thornton publicly mentioned he has autism???

first of all, what the fuck

second of all, are you blind? have you never seen that man? of course he’s autistic.

@chronicnotebook

Living with chronic illness is like being given a house to live in that's got a thousand alarms going off, cracked walls, caving in roofs, broken windows and fires burning...bu still being expected to build your life upon that home and foundation as easily as everyone else.

No. Your friends don't secretly hate you. You're just dehydrated.

Incredibly cool things came in from @neonrot.bsky.social today 👀

Easily my favourite tarot deck, and very excited to drag my friends into playing BDSM 😌

#TTRPG #tarot

Chorogaiden and Below Dwelling Sewer Mutants printed game manuals + Fukuzatsu tarot deck and a sticker from NeonRot

Six major arcana tarot cards from the Fukuzatsu tarot deck. The art is often brightly coloured, dark and creepy, or a mix of both. Cards shown are the hierophant, the high priestess, the lovers, the magician, the moon, and the star

Just a reminder? If ya'll like AI or use that slop? Stay the fuck away from me. Pick up a pen, pencil, CANVA, anything instead of the slop machine that's killing the planet.

Another perk of the new chip: it is specially designed to block out Alden's interference as much as possible! Lie to him! Gaslight him! Flirt with him (but I may judge you a little)! No more hidden dialogue options and more unhinged ones for your enjoyment

vekari.net/world/16th-s...

#VekariRB

"Earth? Is that a restaurant?"

Alden gives you a worried look, but the worry seems to be for himself. "Are you not...? Oh. Are you sure you aren't from there? It's a planet. Well, as much of a planet as we have a star, but... Well, I suppose you aren't who I thought you were at all. My apologies. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Response options:

"[act mildly offended] Not anymore"

"I was just wondering if you could point me in the direction of Gareth's Gears."

I firmly believe tone indicators are important in game dialogue

There are more little things coming with this, I am just one guy writing everything himself rn. But feel free to play around with the new feature, see if there's anything you missed! You can access your brain chip settings through the main site settings at any time.

Right now there are not a ton of examples to show off, but I will be adding a few more in as I update the dialogue to reflect your new hardware. You'll also see more around during October to celebrate 1 year of Vekari 😊

"But if they're easy to find, what's the challenge?"

1. This is a toggle, you can turn it off and continue playing as you were if you'd like!
2. You can expect to see more combinations of mechanics (e.g. secret glitched links!) rather than just some hidden text or a hidden link. Challenge goes up!

Vekari players finally got a brain chip, which means how you play the game is shifting 👀

Starting with the first little feature: revealing secrets! This setting will automatically highlight secret text and secret links in a colour of your choosing so they stand out on the page

#VekariRB

Reveal Secrets

Enable and Disable revealing secret links and secret text. Revealing secrets will highlight these on the page for you. Highlight colour can be customized. Revealing secrets is Disabled by default.

Toggle switch turned on and colour picker colour set to a bright blue matching the dark site theme

You take a seat in the lobby, feeling as though you are still being watched (highlighted in blue to indicate that this word is actually a clickable link) despite being out of line of sight of the assistant.

Vekari:RB Part 9 has started! 3 characters, 3 short story parts to vote on!

Instead of an excerpt, which you can just get by quickly skimming vekari.net/story.php, have my reaction to Acro's part being unusually long this time around

Thanks for the space!

I make Vekari, a cyber-fantasy world over 74 lightyears away, thousands of years in the future, full of mutants and strange glitched creatures 🪐

You can explore Vekari as a text-based horror ARG/RPG/virtual world/interactive story... thing 😅 Or as a TTRPG!

"EY, ANO," the small woman growls up at the creature holding Enoch, wielding the bloody rod as a blade and ready to throw the metal object, "STAB THIS, YA PIECE OF SHIT!"

It's still a good time to get physical copies of movies, books, music, and art you love. Whatever you need to keep to feed your hope.
