These are especially fun now that they’re being written by hallucinating robots.

If Tumblr goes down the path of algorithmic content do you guys want to move to GameFAQs?

Back when I was twelve we used to just go find an unused message board for some obscure game for some 30 year old console and create a community there.

There is nothing stopping us from doing that again.

Plus, cool ASCII art and walkthroughs.

gamefaqs is like a mom to me. i'll be like 'there's literally no entrance to this dungeon!!' and gamefaqs will say 'did you check the front? 🤨' and i'm like 'yeah i've been searching for 10 minutes before asking you!' and gamefaqs says 'and if i came and saw it? 🤨🤨' and i'm like 'lol be my guest there's no- holy shit where did the entrance suddenly appear from'

am I really reading a guide for a game I can't play? yes

why? moments like this

screenshots from the guide

1 tunnel after the first encounter with daughters reading "you'd think lady d's hat would have knocked this out of the ceiling by now"

2 the lipstick "maybe she's born with it maybe its cosmetics that are probably made from human blood"

3 goat of warding in the stronghold "relaxing by the pool make it more relaxing by introducing him to oblivion with your knife"

4 factory "large crystal in the intercom. looks like someone wanted their intercom to sound crystal clear"

talking about the benviento house "Back outside, you'll find a beautiful home poised dramatically at the edge of a cliff in front of a waterfall. This spacious, historical home is conveniently located near the cemetery and a village full of homicidal wolf-people. Contact an agent today!... Follow the gorgeous wrap-around porch (seriously, this house is just selling itself) to reach it (goat)... "Inside, you'll find a legitimately cozy atmosphere (I'm sorry, I just love this part of the game and the house in particular). There isn't much you can do here other than to explore a bit and inspect a piece of paper with a flower on it in the Living Room.

goat "Black Phillip will trade you 2 meat for the low, low price of your soul."

factory: "Examine the far wall in the southern room to begin a cutscene. Afterwards, Ethan will end up running for his life (not an uncommon occurrence, as we know). During this chase, run straight towards the closing gate but turn right when you reach it. Hop through the opening here, turn right when you land, and crouch under the pipes. Finally, hop into the garbage chute at the dead end and you'll wind up in a large pile of trash"

"Ethan has a way of getting back up quickly. Grab the stray items and File #41: Chris's Computer before climbing into the battle-bot contraption and heading into the lift (by the way, this is THE lift, the one the Duke was using; somehow, unbelievably, he has packed up and left, and left the lift nice and tidy)."

[homestuck-without-words]

Time to start eating my words, huh? Despite the name I've given to this little project, this certainly is a lot of them. Words, that is. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

This confuses me. Why embed so much text within an image file now? Why not do that before? My research and the scuttlebutt of my erstwhile spammy associates tells me that there used to be many words appended to the many images of Homestuck. They were lost like so much else.

What was so special about these words that they had to be commemorated in digital bronze? Well, let's see if we can dig anything up.

So here's Rolonde, writing under the tentacleTherapist or "TT" handle we first knew thon by. First we get some character stuff. Thon lists what thon is not going to do as thon does them. This is mildly amusing. I feel like there must have been a more straight-forward way of letting me know this facet of characterization. Especially in a format like this. Maybe Rolonde could have just given us some bullet points about thonself?

Anywhen, Rolonde confirms my theory that the comets are in fact being created/summoned/directed by Sburb in some way. This also builds upon what the previous file told us. Even if Pooplord hadn't started playing Sburb and Rolonde hadn't joined him, Pooplord would be dead. If not by his own comet, then by someone else's. And even if he survived the blasts, the world quickly became inhospitable for life.

We also learn that (at least according to Rolonde), this fate was inevitable. Thon's writing does not preclude the possibility that this ignorance-driven inevitability is the result of manufactured malice by some unknown party. The feeling Rolonde's writing imparts to me is more that of a small creature standing before a looming tidal wave.

I like how thon signed thon's handle at the end there. I believe that character is called a tilde? Tilda? There is an appealing irony in signing my own posts, but I think that's just a little too cutesy for me.

Next up - either more pages of Rolonde's writing, or something unexpected and different!

Gamefaqs board 261 closed

Today, Gamefaqs closed their politics discussion board, 261, an active board condensing political news into a single easily-accessible source and fostering political discussion. 261 was also overwhelmingly left of center, and any "abusive language" came at the hands of a rogue's gallery of right wing trolls who constantly made new accounts so that they could continue to express far-right ideology before being promptly banned. Silencing voices against fascism is supporting fascism. Gamefaqs has chosen to stand with fascism and misinformation today, whether they meant to or not.

I don't understand GameFAQs sometimes

I am a gamer and have been since my early 20s (for context I turn 41 next Wednesday). I utilize walkthroughs from GameFAQs fairly often but I have frequently wondered why the walkthroughs show up on the page of the website with pretty narrow margins and weird paragraph spacing.

I'm not a typesetting expert but I don't understand how narrow margins are easier to read. The same goes for weird spacing in sentences or paragraphs.

When I want to frequently refer to a walkthrough from GameFAQs, I copy/paste it into a Word document and fix any grammar and spelling mistakes and any inaccuracies specific to the game that the original author may have made (calling the enemy a different name than is canon). I also make the margins Narrow, so that there are more words per line than in the original walkthrough and it is much easier (and faster) to read.

To clarify: I do not do all this and then re-publish it to GameFAQs and claim it is my own work. I have ethics that dictate that I would never do that. I only edit them to fit my own preferences for my own reference when playing the game.

Can anyone who visits my Tumblr tell me why the authors of these GameFAQs walkthroughs would choose that kind of typesetting when they write these walkthroughs? I genuinely want to know!

*I promise I am not a complete grammar nutcase, despite how this post makes me sound. I'm just particular and like what I like and for it to be consistent*

since fandom is acquiring gamefaqs i'm gonna just copy what i said on twitter/discord on here too

if you wanna learn how to archive the gamefaqs guides other than wayback: go to the guide of your choosing, add ?print=1 at the end of the url

right click>save page as>save page as type to Web Page HTML only

and as a testing measure disconnect your PC from the internet and open the file, preferably in IE.(i use firefox btw)

the reason why you'd want to do this is because wayback links aren't searchable and you can easily upload the htmls to any site you desire, including webarchive

also because while webarchive is great having everything on one site is a recipe for disaster

if you do want to use wayback to archive the guides as well make sure that you also archive the guides with the ?print=1 tag for better futureproofing too
