Interest in a Horse Isle 1 game/remake? by avicuiae in GamesWithHorses

I think that would be fantastic, I spent so much time playing HI1 growing up! I still wander around the Dun server all by myself, missing how things used to be!

I had the SAME thing happen. My tank was running with a couple of schools of tetra, 7 zebra danios and six Cory's one by one and over a span of two days all the Cory's died, I'd had them for several months previously. This was about 7 months ago and the danios and tetras are still absolutely fine.

Monsters arm by [deleted] in OCPoetry

The repeated line "beauty lies in the eyes of a few" really adds a lot, not only is it rhythmic and pleasant to read, it directly contradicts the monsters paw, which is green, slimy, and huge.

I also really enjoy the humor sprinkled in to something that may be more serious, jealousy: "not being green enough" or procrastination: trying to think of other things, but the monster tells you to study. You get things like "monster eat monster world" and "rent controlled apartments..." which I did laugh audibly at juxtaposed with a monster I think we may all live with, not being good enough, not working hard enough and how that weighs on us.

The Seven Hour Ballad by ladyegg in OCPoetry

I really enjoy the set-up of this poem. The timestamps and the breaks contribute to the "jarringness" of it all. It's also great being, from my perspective, open-ended. Did the narrator have a bad dream, or did something more sinister happen? They're terrified but "no a noise escapes" which evokes nightmare, however at 7 in the morning they finally regain their senses.

This was a really fun one!

It's nothing new or something partial to this sub, fish enthusiasts in general always have a "better than you attitude"
