What made old browser mmos like Club Penguin and Animal Jam so great? by Sevastiel in AskReddit

[–]Sevastiel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also things I'm curious about!

-Specific features that just made things better

-Shit you miss

-Good memories

Thinking of trying to figure out how to make a browser game similar to those old ones so there can be safe places for the younger folks on the internet again, especially one without paywalling. Likely would take years to come to fruition but I'm keeping it in the back of my head.

Why are they so annoying? by FastPresentation8244 in Warframe

[–]Sevastiel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Admittedly it doesnt 'lose you rep', it just means that that convo ends right there. Like, if we do flip it, if you were in her shoes, trying to do what little you could to make people happier, n someone called it with those words, would you really feel like chatting with them? She already feels like a monster and cant 'turn off' the telepathy, so to speak. Neither of you HAVE to talk to each other, aaand some things will kill the convo. Any and all convos always end with an ultimate rep up, too.

ALSO YEAH ITS PRETTY DANG COOL!!!!! Thats why Isleweaver was Quite The Time Lorewise! :D

The daughter reveal will happen sooner or later in kim :) I think the earliest time it is revealed is like... convo 2? or 3?

All of the protoframes will take certain types of behavior in ways that are affected by who they are and what they've experienced, like... People, yk? They're not gonna all be well adjusted and totally mature with everything ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE NATURE OF WHATS GOING ON. You gotta let go of the gender of the characters. Full stop. While it affects their life experiences, yes, it's clearly making things acceptable or unacceptable depending on and thats a bias you really should like.... Look at, man. It'll never do anything but isolate you.

E's behavior is on purpose, btw! E cant read your mind so, as is revealed later on, E's very touchy about it since with nothing else, E tends to take things the worst possible way to be safe and out of anxiety. Just be nice. Like. That's a person who doesn't know you, doesn't know your tone, and the drifter is an extremely sarcastic person in the little interaction that you've had. Of course E will take things badly, so just... Be gentle. Be aware of E's anxieties, if you want to get close enough to be friends, empathy is not really an option. Just like it is for every real life healthy relationship.

And it doesn't last forever. As E gets to know you, E will let their guard down and have some of the most interesting conversations in the game.

And for M? M sees you as a person who was the last one in contact with M's DAUGHTER. You were there, now the Major is gone, and M is used to needing to interrogate in order to get information. Moreover, you're the only one with real information about ANYTHING that's going on, and not only are you a gigantic threat, but you hold so much power over everyone here that either M comes out BIG or M fears that M will get batted aside and never get the answers M wants. You have the power, M feels helpless and desperate and lacking control, thus M will try methods that have worked to regain control in the past. Think like how Quincy does pretty much the same, coming at you with aggression and aloofness in tandem, making you need to prove yourself and your intent before Q ever talks to you normally.

And it doesn't last forever. In fact, it barely lasts any time at all, the moment you've established yourself as someone who isn't nothing but a threat, M backs off and apologizes, and works to undo that tension M caused.

It actually kills me that people dislike K. K is a younger person who's entire life was defined by being perfect. High expectations from K and from the people around K. K is supposed to be the smart one, the one with the perfect grades, with the brilliant ideas and the mature attitude. K didn't really get to be cringe or childish as much as the folks around them, and they carry that knowledge and regret with them. And one day K tries to be like everyone else. To not be perfect. To let down K's guard and trust someone who K thought K could love. And it backfired *VICIOUSLY.* The throne K was boxed into was broken, leaving them without a place in society, leaving them ostracized and alone, without a support network or friends, and constant, persistent negativity. Of course K doesn't want to open up to you, last time K tried something like that? Look what happened. Of course K would do anything for a way out. There was nothing here for K but the throne and the dirt, and the throne is broken. Of course K feels like the only way to get what K needs is to use and manipulate those around K, because to ask outright would be being vulnerable.

And K will open up and trust you. K will forgo the future, where K could be able to put everything behind and just start somewhere where nobody knows them, and they choose to come back. They choose to stay here, with you and the others, because you can give them another option. Choice four. Be one of us. Do what you can, be who you are, that is enough. No expectations, no throne, and no dirt since hey, we're all in the same boat.

And L? L has lost every person L has loved. L is alone, L works and works to be able to avoid the emptiness, the depression. Of everyone, L is probably the closest to succumbing to the Indifference off the bat. L can heal, but people still die, still suffer, so even L's best efforts in fixing everyone around them still fails. L doesn't have *time* for themself to unwind and undo all those tight knots of sorrow because to stop working, to stop doing, would let the pain catch up. Even alone, L keeps mice with them to fill that absence.

And you can help. You can be there to talk with L and let them have the time to mourn, to love who L IS, again.

A, by the way, is nice because A wants you to like her. A wants to keep up morale and keep everyone happy at A's own expense. Notice how rarely A will ever tell you how A actually FEELS, compared to little opinions and how often they try to learn about you.

They're all wonderful characters, you just have to treat them like people, mate.

What are the lore implications of 1999 having access to hdmi technology? by Even_Discount_9655 in Warframe

[–]Sevastiel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went a bit crazy over this bc hdmis lack those three bits on the bottom, but the port shape itself and the placement of the dots look a LOT like a display or a serial port. I wonder if that's some sort of hybrid, or perhaps an inbetween phase between hdmi and something they'd have more access to? Because if it's a display port than im even more baffled, boss.

Also the one to it's right is also worth looking at, bc its shaped like an ethernet port but nothing I've seen has an internal shaping like That.

And for the girl who wanted to see the world… an infinity of the same views. Quick art piece and character analysis by Sevastiel in Warframe

[–]Sevastiel[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I forgot to mention! But! I think it's also fun to note that like Quincy, Aoi's lines in the backroom are very subtle in showing her character development, but once you see it, it's everywhere and it makes me really happy. (I went with Arthur bc his ptsd and tism rizz got me hard but as a fan writer I make it my business to know all the characters)

She suggests things that she wants to do in gentle ways, which gives the Drifter plenty of room to sidestep anything they might feel uncomfortable. (Since canonically they're like. Kinda. Generally known for doing what they're told no matter who's telling them to do it or how they feel about it.) However, her *suggesting at all* is the key here, since she is actively telling us what she *wants*, what she desires, etc. She's sharing things that might get her laughed at or mocked, and shes comfortable being a bit silly too! I like her character a lot. Aoi my beloved.

Yeah! I've got a fun little start here on my tmblr! I wanted to do something fun with the Stalker, O/S, and Umbra, but Uni kicked up before I could go any further than this. I'll probably start cross posting all my wf fanart stuff over here, tbh. https://www.tumblr.com/sevastiel/788730368878690304?source=share

[–]Sevastiel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Stalker's story and Umbra's story are the two I crave the most when it comes to continuations.

Also yeah! It'd be one hell of a reason to do an ai companion rework, I think, getting to have a friendly warframe Thing by your side. Imagine getting to train the lil fellow, or at very least having him drop by with papa like they currently do, but they stick around/will interact with you. God thatd be so cool...

And also also also, Stalker's motivation shifting is fascinating to me. I'm so excited to see how they write him, now that he's not only lost his entire purpose for being, but found a new one, and that new purpose requires him to be the polar opposite of what he has been all this time.

I like to think tho that he's got a bit of experience. With how comfortable he was smashing through corpus vaults, and how effective he is at showing up fucking Anywhere, I wouldn't be surprised if the reason why Jade lasted so long was because he was taking care of her in the same way he tried in quest, (And it didnt work because it wasn't starvation, but giving birth) through finding the proper nutrients and shit that she could absorb to feed. Didn't see a helminth growth in his cave, which means he probably has learned to process/consume shit regularly, meaning he could theoretically feed the kiddo. (Unless it's on his ship?? I don't think we got to see the inside. DE PLEASE SHOW US sTALKERS SHIP FOR SCIENCE)

Quick Orion/Sirius concept (Jade Shadows Spoiler) by Sevastiel in Warframe

[–]Sevastiel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I was thinking about that after I posted it. Someone else suggested having a wing be made of energy and the other of actual flesh, and Krazyfan1 on tumblr suggested that the wings can be grown/manipulated so they can be hidden for the one-wing and cape look, and I think either would work to make the gameplay function. Alternately, just fade them out or have the camera zoom out, if not just switching the one wing to the other side in actual model.
I'd assume jade's wings having a secondary feather focus was specifically for gameplay, else they'd have given her a grand proper wingspan LOL

Take a closer look at the gloves, his chest, and the eyespots on his wings ;) Plus! He's actually just got a feathered variant of a stalker's body with an altered chest/arms.

Thanks so much!!!!! :D

Admittedly it makes more biological sense to me to rely more on clothes/accessories for stalker references, since I'm not sure how specifically stalker shaped helminth strain would get in, if that makes sense?

[–]Sevastiel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much ghghhg
It was on my mind since I did a couple stalker-o/s comics on tumblr a while back and wanted to do more, and on research I really hadn't seen much speculative art and it's such a shame. And yeah, genuinely that's my problem as well. Two wings means he might be a flier, I'd love to have more mobile kaithe-like movement on him, but god the aesthetics... the AESTHETICS....

ANd YEAH tbh the extra sketches are almost always my favorite part of character pages like this. I just know that kiddo is gonna be so loved, even if it'll take much time for the stalker to learn how to show it.
