Vera "Not A Werewolf" Lycaon @Thaminga@awoo.space

@DarkOverord He was doing so well, and then the game just shat on him hard.

@xenon y2k aesthetic is back babey

@kd@yiff.life I still have my old phone (the old Nexus 5) lying around from like 2013 or something but I don't use it anymore, nor do I have a charger for it at this point. Think that's what actually got me to finally get a new phone for real, though I'd been considering it since it stopped receiving updates many months before then.

@marxupial@snouts.online Heeeey big fuckin' same, ahaha

honestly the feelings of nonhumanity had been around for a long-ass time for me but god damn if it didn't take until last summer to finally properly put my finger on things

@HTHR@cybre.space awoo

@IceWolf It's a good vibe, speaking as someone who's often exactly that~

@irisjaycomics sky said gay rights, y'all

@marxupial@snouts.online *offers gentle hugs* It's... I don't know what to say, this all is nothing but a terrible, unmitigated disaster.

@Zeny@snouts.online I mean what'd you expect from a franchise called Gun Gun Gun

@IceWolf It waaaaas 🐺💙

nothing to wake you up from a series of not-totally-willing naps like dreaming that you're horrifyingly (but strangely enjoyably, at that) transforming into your lupine self

dreamlog incoming, I suppose: so, things started out by me waking up at my desk immediately wondering what the time was because it felt like I'd just slept through the entire night - sky was way, way brighter than it was when I'd fallen asleep, though somehow the stars were still visible. check the time, it's... 1 AM??? there was no sun to be seen anywhere, but it felt like a really overcast morning or during a solar eclipse not too long before totality and all - clearly day, but way darker than you'd expect

so I go about doing some of my usual stuff and the first thing I feel is this sensation of some part of me *aching* to come out and I couldn't put my finger on what, I end up running to the bathroom to drink some water from the tap, look outside for a brief moment and look back in the mirror

big ol' feral looking, glowing pair of eyes staring back at me. almost immediately after fur started growing in basically everywhere, thin across my face at first (plenty of fluff along the jawline though) and I could -feel- and hear my bones warping when my muzzle started growing in and my teeth began taking up a lot more space within it, ears growing pointier and slowly moving up all the while

almost matched the avatar in looks before I finally woke up just checking myself out and touching myself all the way through, the whole thing was -so- goddamn vivid and I'm still kinda reeling from it, ahaha 💙

@trysdyn So what you're saying is Alexa is really just late '10s/'20s Bonzi Buddy.

... that tracks, actually

@distressedegg @Balina I mean, to play devil's advocate for like the briefest moment I can at least commend the idea of trying out something fairly new with narratives in gaming and making the world respond in a worryingly straight manner to the player's actions.

... that said, the way it was handled clashes SUPER hard with the whole lesson purportedly taught and in retrospect that sure as fuck didn't help with the attitude of the fanbase that coalesced around it given the amount of "keeps up the veneer of a good person but is absolutely *aching* to tear anyone they deem an acceptable target to fucking shreds" kind of people it ended up attracting.

@distressedegg @Balina as much as I liked the game when it came out: same at this point

@Manik@snouts.online So hyped for the total annihilation of one of the brightest stars in the sky

@irisjaycomics I heard the exact same discourse exactly ten years ago and it was just as ridiculous then too, like

why would they be called the 2010s and not include the literal year 2010

likewise why would it be the 2020s and not include the year 20 fucking 20

@Manik@snouts.online let 👏 him 👏 in 👏

@Ace@snouts.online "new year new me"
