it's #OC-tober day 1 and I'm feeling a bit brave so here's an oc that's been in my mind a lot lately :) his name is VICTOR VALENTINE VAETH (vi for short) and he's the beloved son of the top crime boss of the supernatural world, val vaeth. and he and his dad are both unicorns (his mom is a hellhound)

remember when the internet had things on it

DuckDuckGo search results for "samsung stylus got lost" - first two results are "Lost Your Samsung Tablet Pen? Here's How to Find it! - LearnProTips" and "Finding Your Samsung Tablet Pen: A Comprehensive Guide"

One of the listed web results, which reads:

Initial Steps to Find Your Lost S Pen

In your quest to locate your lost Samsung tablet pen, starting with simple steps can be particularly effective. Follow these initial guidelines:
1. Retrace Your Steps

The first step in locating your S Pen is to mentally retrace your steps. Take a moment to think about where you last used it. Did you take it to a coffee shop? Did you use it while lounging on the couch? Often, it’s in the last place you remember using it.
2. Check Common Locations

Certain areas are more likely to be hiding spots for your S Pen. Here’s a list of common locations to check:

Between Couch Cushions: Many items get lost in the nooks and crannies of your living area, including your tablet pen.
Your Bag or Backpack: If you typically transport your tablet, it’s possible the pen is nestled within your bag.

I'm my workaholic sister's personal gaming sommelier for when she actually has time to game. here's what I gave her today if anyone's interested

Text from Jess:
Text 1: Got any video games I can get really into but not feel bad if I never play it again. I haven't played anything since Z-A over Christmas
. Text 2: Shit don't say old school RuneScape

First half of a text from me. I editorialize so I'll list the games I tell her first and then give the full text.

List of games part 1:
Pocket Academy 3, Balatro, Graveyard Keeper, Dokimon.

Full text:

pocket academy 3 (or any game by this dev, kairosoft, but this one is especially good imo. pocket harvest is their farming version of this concept. playable on phone like the name implies but I recommend tablet if u have one)

balatro (roguelike deckbuilder. if that means nothing to you then it's like crack to people with our exact brains. addison would like it too imo. designed to start a new file and get as far as you can and then start over with anything you unlock in that file. sort of a puzzle game. you don't need to know how to play poker)

graveyard keeper (I think I already recommended you this but if not then PLAY IT. RIGHT NOW. QUIT YOUR JOB)

dokimon (retro pokemon + sailor moon themed monster catcher. on switch as doki monsters : quest)

Second half of the same text. List continues.

List of games part 2: Land of Idyllic Beauty, Fields of Mistria, Ooblets, Pokopia DLC

Full text:

land of idyllic beauty (not on switch but it's the "farm sim" I'm obsessed with rn. calls itself a farm sim but it's more of a small business sim lol. you hire guys to farm for you pretty fast. it has that getting balls in the air and keeping them there element I love about farm sims. name is weird because it's an indie chinese developer)

fields of mistria (we talked about this one before but it's finally gotten a full release recently!)

ooblets (good combo of farming and monster battle but never really hit its stride, a pleasure to pick up but not a stretch to put down)

pokopia (the dlc came out last month bozo)

discovered the exclusive way I will be using discord's new game hotlink feature (ignore that I'm signed in to pk ignore ignore ingore ignore)

my friend and me goofing around. my friend is learning that the feature doesn't work on mobile, and I'm hotlinking games mid-sentence as a sort of bad pun type feature. for example one of my messages is "that's a real Croak of Ship Inc." where Croak and Ship Inc are hotlinked games

american here 🫡 unspecified red is pretty much always "cherry" which tastes fuck all like cherry and sort of tastes like every winegum at once plus a hint of cherry cough medicine. only other possibility is "fruit punch" but that's usually a bit lighter shade of red. like so

like this right. where are you going

a "rage comic" meme format.
panel 1: a girl is labeled "le me at age 16".
panel 2: a boy in glasses enters and asks "op will you go with me to homecoming?" he is labeled "le guy who has had a crush on me since first grade".
panel 3: the girl smiles and thinks "I used to hang out with girls who made fun of him, but he's always been a nice guy" and says yes! the boy looks happy
panel 4: is labeled "le day of homecoming." the girl is sick and throwing up. her mom stands in front of her, saying "sorry, op is very ill." the boy stands there, concealing his resigned look behind a straight face. he says "okay." in large red text over the entire panel are the words "we never spoke again. he still thinks I stood him up. reed if you're out there I'm sorry, I was too awkward to apologize at the time but I am really sorry"

was talking about this comic with a friend and I wasn't sure if you wanted some comcrit (new term i invented that means complimentary critique lol) but if not then just ignore me :) we both really enjoyed it

two messages from my discord account, with someone else's messages censored out

1: right!! ok wait here is some critical analysis. it does a great job telling enough back story for you to know exactly what the surviving girl is feeling at the end, without overstaying its welcome or muddying the mood

2: that's sort of the name of the game, imo, with prose, so it's nice to see it on display in comics, where theoretically there could be a really big text bubble without it "taking time" within the progression of panels (but that would still slow down the reader and maybe take them from the moment)

almost done with this and it's the second best romance about a spaceship available to witness. it's also very effective horror and a genuinely fun and interesting love letter to classic scifi (it is mostly these things rather than a romance but there is a romance and a good one)

I got advertised one of those AI story things and I downloaded it thinking it was just prewritten stuff and then fucked around a bit anyway I did actually get successfully roasted by an AI gf. NPC with a confidence bug is pretty good

AI character saying "Cheap AI? You walk in here looking like an NPC with a confidence bug and think that's a personality?"
