Oh to be a frog napping on a bed of pink petals

like to make, rather than ponder if it's for everyone. Because I know those who find my rants and my D&D stuff important are those who find connection and meaning within it. TL;DR, buy The Corridor, it's cheap. Create art, not for perfection, but for it to matter to someone. Have fun. Express urself

-much as it did to myself. It's why I am writing a damn eulogy just because of a fun game. It meant something, even if it's a cardboard box poorly put together (not actually bad game, go buy it). It's about expression and connecting, even to the few. I know I will go forward and focus on what I-🧵

-I know a lot of people who wouldn't find The Corridor fun, I know a lot of people who don't like reading books or listening to specific genres of music, and yet what matters is that such content means something to someone. And I hope deep down that this epiphany of mine does matter to someone as-🧵

-Humbly letting the player finish the game, even if it isn't much on the surface. Many of us are too hard on ourselves. I know I am. We cannot make content that makes everyone happy, there's no point to try. We should try to make content that matters to someone, be that few or many.-🧵

-When I heard this line, I felt those same doubts I have about my own creations. What if people hate it? What if it sucks? In the end, the creator lets the player play the game, saying "Here. Here you go. This is my game. Walking down a corridor to push a button... that's it. I hope you like it."-🧵

-and he hits us with this one line. "Wait wait wait! Just... stop. I want you to play the game, it's just... what if it's bad? What if it sucks? What if you hate it? What if it's the worst thing ever made? And it's all been for nothing. Who wouldn't want to avoid that?"-🧵

-thoughts that I, for sure, and most creators, probably, had. Why play the game? Why bother with this one when you can go out and make your own? Why should the player insist on playing the game? As the end nears of the game, he finally accepts defeat that the player is bound to 'ruin' everything-🧵

-with me. Most of the game is going down a corridor to push a button. The creator of the game, first thing he told you, was to not play the game. Despite, the player still continues even after being kicked out a few times. As this goes on, the narrator/creator begins to speak about a few things-🧵

To who ever this could mean something to, an artistic soul, anyone, may it be few, or many, I come with a reminder. There's this game called The Corridor, one of those games like Stanley Parable or There Is No Game. I went into thinking about the game a lot, and found something that resonated- 🧵

I mean... I love mint ice cream, it's great. No hate to those who don't like it, but like... something something sophisticated taste, something something uhhh... be better? It's cold with more cold, what could you not like?

Thorn @thornsthethrog.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

Uhhh, daily post... how do people usually post daily and still say something worth listening to? Do they just complain or talk about their day? I sure as hell know I don't have enough D&D things to talk about to last a whole month. So uh... wanna tell me some of y'all's D&D stories?

Oh right, about The Black Forest. It's an unknown sized forest that surrounds the kingdom. Creatures in the forest breed and reproduce en masse, survival of the fittest. The kingdom doesn't like the forest, yadda yadda.

Minor lore about my world, each year is split into eight months, or more appropriately, four months, or a total of 224 days in a year, if I didn't do the math wrong... regardless, the months are named based on the state of human and plant life. Oh, and each city has its own holidays.

I meant this post, why isn't the edit feature on Bluesky?

Yes, on the previous post, the tarot cards are important. To get to the point, the tarot cards in my world act like wisdom tokens. With certain amount of wisdom, paths between the nodes open up and allow you to know the truth. With knowledge, you gain power.

I did a handful of research on wikipedia to get inspiration, and this is what I have made so far. Every city bears the title and honour of the sefiroths yet the action of the qlippoth. In other words, Miechas is hailed to uphold order, but they love the anarchy and thrive off the chaos.

This is my world map, split into cities and towns, and together they make a kingdom. The kingdom is surrounded by The Black Forest, a magical and mystical place that sh*ts out dangerous monster. More on them later. This world is based on two primary things, the tree of life and tarot cards.

I feel like the quote isn't inherently wrong, but it doesn't have enough context either. Being in a friendgroup that is positive will slowly begin to make you more positive. Most wounds heal with time and being with the right people, while some you need a pair of gardening gloves for to uproot it :3

Oh damn, didn't actually think people would follow me. Uh, hi? I don't really know what to say... y'all wanna hear me rant about my D&D campaign?

Drawing of a curled up frog sticking its tongue out. Bit derpy.
