If I see an account with a blue checkmark, I'm blocking it.

Me inventing a city full of multiple different "Da Vinci Code"-esque mysteries due to all of the artists and free thinkers that have called it home: "What a fun concept!"

Me realizing I might have to flesh out those treasure hunts if the party ever decides to go there: "What have I done?"

The KefkeWren 🐀 @yesthatkefke.bsky.social · 17h

It's exceptional.

It's also basically just cards.

Screenshot of a Tumblr post by user @trans-alisaie. It reads, "helpful grammar tip! farther is for physical distance, further is for metaphorical distance, and father is for emotional distance!"

Minecraft prank idea; While someone is AFK (or logged off if you're good at gaslighting), build a fake Nether cave around them, complete with a portal linked to a fake Overworld cave containing a bed, an Iron Door with a button leading to a hallway that goes out of sight, and a lectern with a book.

Crackpot worldbuilding idea. Alcohol is *literally* spirits. You drink a tonic that allows something to temporarily possess you, and it makes you feel different, sometimes fills you with otherworldly vitality. But watch out...

Call that dragupuncture.

The two kinds of niche anime;

"Here is the story of how this thing interacts with people's lives."

"Here is the story of some characters enjoying my special interest."

Fantasy setting where humans are considered weak because their level caps at 99, but other races can get into the triple digits...except it turns out that humans have the unique ability to Prestige.

I'm inclined to say Stay Alive (2006), with the caveat that what I actually want is the game *from* the movie, rather than a game based on the events of the movie (with the possible exception of if it has a cool mechanic where you have to jump back and forth between real world and game).

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 2d

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are walking. Blue listens intently as Green goes on talking as he talks, leading the way.
Green: Once we get home, I'll read a book, weave two baskets, re-arrange the pantry, learn esperanto-

Blue interrupts Green, who turns to listen.
Blue: That's quite a list. Are you sure you're being completely realistic?

Green takes a momentary pause from being cartoonish, being now depicted as a painstakingly detailed and shaded painting of a fox, with fur texture, whiskers and all.
Extremely realistic Green: Of course.

Returning back to normal, Green keeps walking. Blue follows, looking at Green with suspicion.
Blue: How long did it take you to draw that gag?
Green: A lot longer than I am willing to admit.

Oh no, not to do monstrous acts for you. To perform monstrous acts *upon*.

I can imagine there being extensive debate on whether sparing someone with an existing life makes it better, or abusing a being that is basically the creator's child makes it worse.

ACTUALLY...given that I've established creating new species as something that magic can do, the most morally reprehensible thing would probably be creating sapient life for the express purpose of doing morally reprehensible things to it (though some would argue it spares existing people that fate).

The KefkeWren 🐀 @yesthatkefke.bsky.social · 2d

Whoops! Post went through several revisions, and my eyes slid right over the double-"imposing" there until after I hit send! >_<

The KefkeWren 🐀 @yesthatkefke.bsky.social · 2d

Magic is pretty flexible, so it really comes down to how creative (and morally reprehensible) the practitioner is. Though one standout example would be imposing systemic imposing conditions that will shorten lifespans/increase suffering, in order to essentially "squeeze" magic power from a populace.

Reminds me of how psychological experiments have shown that people consistently equate confidence with knowledge. Confident bullshit convincing people more than nuance and qualifiers. Not a critique of Zohran, just an observation. People like punchy, quick answers.

The KefkeWren 🐀 @yesthatkefke.bsky.social · 3d

Just not the same without them, though.

The KefkeWren 🐀 @yesthatkefke.bsky.social · 3d

I have not, in fact, but it is one I think I would really vibe with.

The KefkeWren 🐀 @yesthatkefke.bsky.social · 3d

There should be a game that detects if you just mash A through the dialogue, and the NPCs can get mad at you for not paying attention when they're talking to you.

Another thought, while I'm on Minecraft mods; Horror mods confined to specific locations. Like how the Creaking only appears in the Pale Garden, but without the visual indicator of which parts of the world are "haunted", so you just find out organically, and can choose to leave it alone.

Minecraft mod idea that I've been kicking around for a while but have no idea how to actually do... "beta style" sprinting.

Basically, re-imagine sprinting to fit the feeling of beta Minecraft, with it using your breath meter instead of hunger. And yes, you could sprint yourself to death.

Hiding an autosave in my horror game that only exists to hit players that try to savescum with an ominous popup that says, "You can't change the past."

The KefkeWren 🐀 @yesthatkefke.bsky.social · 3d

That sounds like my design philosophy.
