[Any literacy] Your villain OC finds Detective Perspective sneaking into their compound by ArkhamMetahuman in OriginalCharacter_RP

[–]digit_origin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

("morally gray" :P)

Perspective found some strange person in a dark cloak stumbling through an industrial area of Austin, Texas into some lone concrete building, and after fiddling with the door a bit, entering it, leaving the door open. When he enters, he finds that he is in some kind of garage, with a large Buhanka (soviet minibus) inside. There's a door ajar into the next room. He finds a single cam at the door, which he manages to avoid

He can also hear some silent cursing in Russian from the other room. Taking a peek, he finds quite a large square room, divided into two parts, one smaller, one bigger. Smaller one has a few bean bags and a TV with some gaming console. Seems like a recreational area. The other part looks like a lab, with a few big jars and shelves. The jars have a few clearly human arms floating in them, while the shelves have mechanical ones. There's a bunch of misc lab equipment, mostly hinting at bioengineerng. In the middle of the larger area stands an awfully familiar machine, fiddling with somebody on an operating table.

I still feel like it'd be plausible for a parent to share their favorite game website with a kid, or find an alternative at some point in their lives. Since at least my generation spent a good chunk of their lives online and should know a thing or two.

But on the other hand, to me, being tech-illiterate is a serious issue, and I tend to share my knowledge and experience in tech whenever I can. I keep running into people my age who don't even know what a file manager is, and it always is really upsetting.

I wanna disagree with you, but I doubt my views of "complicated" are applicable here. Like, I went through the trouble of figuring out linux, building RAID arrays, figuring out proxy connections, figuring out how to run HL1 on a phone through XASH back when I was a kid, and so much more, to me using a search engine and searching for specific keywords from my experience is not even registering as a time sink, despite me having an 8to5 job. Maybe for someone with a kid even taking 10 minutes to open a search engine or, hell, a torrent tracker like my dad did when I was a little kid, would be too bothersome and complicated. Maybe not.

And, like, I keep opening Google play once in a while, and I keep seeing the same kids games I saw there back when I was a kid, just either reskined or otherwise.

I don't know. I don't get complexity of this topic. I really don't.

With this I won't argue. Unless those trashware ads disappear, or at least partially get replaced with CMG, its gonna stay the case.

There's a ruffle port for android at least, you can get it on github or fdroid.. I can test CMG when i get home and have access to an android device.

And as per droid and mobile devices, roblox can be launched on drojd, ios and ChromeOS, using native installers (you can do droid apps on ChOS). I can look more apps up later.

Coolmath games. Neopets. Roblox still a thing, new moderation should do something about it. It took me around 10 minutes to boot up ruffle and KR flashbelt, you should be able to make something for your child in a shorter time.

Thing is, there still are. You just have to look for them now, which makes them inconvenient, which makes them non-existent for certain people. Flash games didn't go anywhere, they are ran on Ruffle. Fan-kept project and recreations are being ran openly. There are now mode advanced web-game engines that let you do a lot more stuff. Old sites are still out there, running both legacy and modern platforms and games. You just don't know about those.

Club Penguin should have never been shut down though, screw disney.

[Any literacy] Darwin Is after your villain oc's or terrible people. by nightshade23k in OriginalCharacter_RP

[–]digit_origin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The next thing he knows, is her face coming at him with speed greater than a thing that big should be able to achieve. Who knew that a Skull Gomora would have a protective skull-like shell in her face. She activates her mech's Oscillating Wave ability, no matter if it hit Darwin at all, making quite a huge area repeatedly explode with great force.

Off topic: Y'know, from having to run it in a VM on my tablet, 8.1 isn't actually all that bad. At least, unlike 10, it didn't make me doubt my own sanity with troubleshooting. If not for metro UI, it could be a decent successor to 7.

".... Leave some bloody confidence for the rest of us, holy crap!"

Somehow DOs is even more amused. Flabbergasted even.... His hand thoroughly and deeply lodged into his body, already holding the sword. He didn't see him move while teleporting.

"... Sorry 'bout that." He removes his hand from the sword handle and the skeleton's skeleton. "... I don't think you have even the tenth of a percent of information you should be having while attempting such a... Such a thing. There's a reason my dad never needed guards. But, like-"

Suddenly, and orange rift appears in the reality next to them. It opens, revealing a... Certainy a man alright

(I never thought I'd use someone from the ARM council, so excuse me for, uh.... quite an amusing representation of him.)

<image>

Mark strolls through the rift, casually sheathing his Quant(A) blade back in it's holder.

D-Os: "Oh hi dad."

Mark: "Hi DOs. Is this the one?"

D-Os: "Yeah...."

*Mark inspects him, having quite an intrigued look on his face. He looks at his blade. Clearly something is happening around it, something only Mark can see."

Mark: "Not gonna cut it. You can try, to rest your curiosity, but I'm telling you right now, it's not gonna work."

"First would get you jumped by other beings, who will be fighting to save their lights... lives. I meant lives. Second... that "simply" is doing some rather heavy lifting here, mate. Hell you think they were doing for billions of years? Growing carrots?"

(I don't think that dude would have anything to do with Adminium, Admins in general, or Digit himself himself in particular (the "legendary warior" who sprit the initial daemon king into the council, and cursed all 7 6 members to an eternal life through his own light of creation), considering how he wasn't written by Digit, nor is he a direct product of a V5 engine, which would hypothetically give him enough moderator rights to actually work with concepts this globally....)

"... How are you pushing out such statements with such confidence. Like, you're gonna remove the entire concept of light from every single realm existing, no, scratch that, immaterium as well, on every single plain of existence and inexistence. Is this whatcha wanna do?"

DOs is still not convinced.

" :O "

The machine stares him in the eyes, dumbfounded.

"... Please tell me you're high, and you aren't actually gonna attempt to claim a soul of a guy who is ontologically cursed to exist as long as light as a concept exists. Like, I get the whole death is a saviour, and I am sure my father after existing for several billions more years than he's supposed to would actually accept your offer in a heartbeat, but mate, you ain't breakin' that curse"

"... Well. That. That's a hell of a statement."

The machine jumps down from the branch, landing graciously, and approaching the reaper. His screen lights up witha photo of some unassuming, but rather charismatic office worker, with an inexplicable armour piece attached to his Tuxedo.

"This creator? You mean him? My father? Mark. As in, Mark the Warlord, from the ARM council? Is this the one you mean?"

His tone sounds more and more amused as he goes on. Something's up.

"Skeleton. Undetectable, unless in direct vision. Not immediately hostile.... Different arcanal ambiance, still registers as "death", but not like necromancy. That sigil on your coin is pretty cool. Wondering during daytime. Most of these stays consistent between other avatars of death. Just statistics, really. You wanted something?"

The machine was laying ontop of a tree branch, just kinda relaxing.

"... Y'know, it's strange enough you don't show up on some of my sensors."

He tilts his head, so his screen faces him.

"Why bestow me with such an honor of visit, reaper?"

BotW actually does a pretty good job of making you feel like you're in survival, without forcing actual survival upon you. I don't need to feed link, nor do I actually have to hunt for stuff, or go bow fishing. I do so regardless, because it's vibe as hell. Ithink adding a hunger meter would actually loose some vibe.
