My GF is out of town, she went last wednesday and was supposed to come back two days ago, but delayed her return. And taking care of our two cats alone is driving me insane.
Look I love these two furballs, but they can be quite a handful sometimes, also one of them was hers, so I think he's stressed for missing her.
 
Abyss, yes, has struck out an early lead
Perhaps it suits the nature of the thread
In second place, the chorus who would read
And deduce from the votes that I should dread

"You only picked that option in the poll
Because you hadn't read the whole thing through
Now you're locked in and have to chase a goal
You'll never meet, because your House is screwed"

No, you might think that, but it isn't right
I understood the meaning of my pledge
I want to light a match against the night
And loudly use my voice, I will not hedge

See, threads need FRIENDS, shitposts are not enough
I'll strike Abyss in the name of HOUSE LOVE
 
In second month, on second page
Begins a dark and tumultuous age
As battle sparks between rivals fierce
Let this warrior offer a verse

Against the house of beating heart,
Here and now, the opening shot
This arrow shall fly, straight and true
I STRIKE LOVE IN THE NAME OF TWO

Haven't been here for a while, any solid info for a direct next week or just speculation?

Just speculation based on ~~Patterns~~
 
Now I know how Respawn felt when they released Jedi Survivor a few weeks before Tears of the Kingdom.

Great work, @Suswave !

For those curious but too lazy to do the legwork, here you go. (Sorry, but Joanna Newsom's not on Spotify, so I substituted the next best thing.)

holy shit???

Thank you so so much!! and HOW did I not know there was an Owen Pallett version of Peach, Plum, Pear?!

Edit: I’m taking @Embers’s glorious work out of the shadows!

As I’m reading this amazing ST

I’ve realized.

“dang, I ain’t creative at all but I wanna try doing a ST now”.

I FIRMLY recommend trying it! you don’t have to make it entirely overwrought — making it at all is an act of community, and it’s genuinely thrilling to see what everyone comes up with each month!

I can tentatively put you down for a month! How about March?

Trying to give GRRM some competition here, huh? ;D

(striking a crowbar) these things take time

honestly I did slightly panic when Elden Ring came out and was full of unexpected underground surprises — there was lots I had already written / planned for Grögol Bonanza that was… slightly similar

not that Elden Ring has a monopoly on undergrounds, but their approach struck me as more in tune with mine, despite WILDLY different styles and concepts
 
The Abysstie Boys coming at cha

'Cause N can and will shadow drop
Prime 4's coming soon and it wont flop
The Direct even closer, blows away the SoP
I'm just getting started I sure wish I could stop

Delay a game it's eventually good
But rushed stays bad it is understood
Those weren't Shigsy's words, we don't really care
All we wanna see is Koizumi's hair

I looked SonicXShadow up early today
And the things I saw I don't know what to say
I sought guidance from an old friend Dill Spowser
He said "Hylia Fucking Wept pal, close that browser"

No time for Love and I'm dropping Twos
I tried reading Books but I needed a snooze
Some folks might go and question my ethos
Well call me Jevil bud 'cause it's "Chaos Chaos"

It's a lot of work just for one shitpost
But I gotta try, Suswave did the most
This rapping stuff ain't really my bag
Five verses in and I'm starting to flag

The speculation game can be hard to assess
You can skip all that if you trust the process
No matter what it all arrives in the end
The Switch has games don't try to pretend

Don't ask me why I went and chose this format
Poor life choice just like Mario and Chris Pr*tt
Gotta stop this soon before it gets any worse
I've run out of steam lets wrap up this curse

Our home is a void so full of beauty
I'm getting hungry now I want peach clafoutis
All those bet losers are gonna drink some piss
I strike Lovers down in the name of Abyss

To set your game apart, you just have to make an EVEN LONGER elevator going down than the Siofra River one!

That'll show them, both GRRM and Miyazaki!
 
That new thread feel. Not a ton coming out for me this month… need to work on my backlog(tho Golden Sun has disrupted it DX)

Other STs: hey folks, welcome to the thread, this is a cozy place to hang out and--
Sus: here is a darkly brooding short story thematically interwoven into two carefully curated playlists and an in-thread tabletop game

This is no game, love, the stakes have never been lower
 
I was not prepared for this so early in the morning. Was it just the waking haze or reality….definitely will need to devote some time to this. Great ST @Suswave. I expected nothing less.

Also love the candy hearts.

I believe so. I think you get a bonus fighting your rival, whoever they are, but you're allowed to STRIKE any other team and make whatever kind of GAMBIT you like
Click to expand...
Yep, this is 100% correct!

Earlier prototypes of the game had restricted striking, but I thought it was more fun to give y’all 𝙁𝙍𝙀𝙀𝘿𝙊𝙈 𝙊𝙁 𝙃𝘼𝙑𝙊𝘾

that’s how they all start

this entire thing is because I wanted to make a Shakespeare joke work while still being interesting
 


Get this if you haven’t yet! Can act out your own “House Love vs House Two” on the screen. Unfortunately not many 3 or 4 player games so the Choruses will be sitting things out a lot of the time.
 
if any of you has Apple Music and wants to reconstitute the playlists there, I’ll give your faction 10 bonus dignity

that IS where I built them — but my account has my real name and years of monthly playlists that I have not curated for outside observation, so I’d prefer a slight veil of anonymity if possible.

Also, @Embers — what faction are you? You’ll get 10 bonus dignity too!

did we take away the feature where you could see who voted for what? ‘cause I was kinda banking on that one…

I thought you could already see and it was just hidden from us to let people impersonate other factions and start false flag fights, taking a one time clout penalty for their real team to get other groups STRIKEing

not intentionally blocked, but you absolutely have the right kind of sabotage in mind!

you can display votes publicly as an option when the poll is created I think. I went in to the poll to see if I could add this in an edit but didn’t see it. Let me ask an admin to see if there is something we can do (and hope we don’t have to delete and recreate the poll).

okay, thank you! no worries if not. must’ve missed the option, but for some reason I didn’t think I saw it
