Gonna be honest, starting to miss the EOD chicanery of D1--

"It would be frightening to think that in all the Cosmos, which is so harmonious, so complete and equal to itself, that only human life is happening randomly, that only one’s shitposts lack meaning."
-Mircea Eliade, Aphorisms on Slanking

"The Experience of Postcapping makes possible the founding of the world: where the postcap Manifests itself in thread, the real unveils itself, the world comes into existence."
-Mircea Eliade, Aphorisms on Slanking

"Man becomes aware of the postcap because it manifests itself, shows itself, as something wholly different from the Profane."
-Mircea Eliade, Aphorisms on Slanking

Pretty crazy that y'all are still going. Anyway, food for thought:

were these five right here?

if my only posts today

Wouldn't it be fun

okay completely rude, just for this i'm subbing *four* sets

like, this is a vibe

and i'm sure there's some random pj harvey or basia bulat tracks out there that come close but nothing Scratches The Itch yknow?

anyway please advise

like it's annoying too tbh because i actually really love angel olsen & if it'd been any other song i think this wouldn't be giving me such a hard time but tbh they're right, shut up kiss me is pretty damn distinctive

anywhoodles, checking in for a bit to see how everyone's c4rus subs are going. i'm like decently set on most of my subs except the angel olsen "shut up kiss me" one

And if not, then was fun!

Keep Lumi Alive™ Stretch Goals!!!*:
Lumi survives to day 4: I add UI to my vote count script
Lumi survives to day 5: I add retrospective vote counts to my UI
Lumi survives to day 6: I consider making my vote count script into a browser extension so that people in future syndicate games can potentially even use it. (Note: extension release would have to wait until after the game due to rules about linking to a document that I'd be able to update live during the game, e.g a browser extension)
Lumi survives to day 7: I meet at least min post count by using vocaroos

their meta is fakeable, any meta is fakeable. Your read could also be fake. Wolves can point at someone they have played with as well and say they are playing wolfy (hell even if they arent)
it's crazy how people just forget that like

personal experience can still be substiantiable
This is the first time we have spoken this game. Why didnt you talk to me d1? Why now?
Sure I have said something you agree with. But I said quite a lot yesterday and almost nothing today.
Just interested in your progression on my slot
I have no progression on your slot. you made a comment about meta that resonated with some thoughts i had earlier today and i gave my two cents

No need I just wanted to see what you would say

okie, good chat <3

I have a random gut scumread on Schiavetto from this chime in
do you want to do the villagery thing and ask what prompted it :3
Hi Schia! I'm kinda scumreading you, you slipped through the cracks for me today because I couldn't remember if you had posted or were headed for the minpost axe. I don't really see much substance in your ISO. What are your major reads rn and why, just a quick summary of where your head's at?

i have very few thoughts, i came in yday after a walrus host and then hopped in today after spending the evening moving library books
my prevailing thoughts from anything i've seen that actually sticks out has been
-why is nut suddenly off aro
-does lumi know their VC script apparently carries over votes between phases
and
-i miss c4

i can take them back if you want though ):

Highly recommend the music video, so you can all see how ridiculous the dancers look doing choreography to this utter bop while The World's Tiniest French Girl tries to appear as though she were speaking on some great universal truth. (spoiler: she is!)

I'm pretty sure this is what my kids are thinking when they stop by the bodega on the way to school in the morning to blow the 5 bucks their moms gave them for breakfast on sour straws and jolly ranchers, knowing fully well I'll be collecting them anyway when they come in for homeroom.

I miss Steven Bombs. A lot. This really does go beyond nostalgia for me, though, it's just one of those perfect songs - especially in how finely it expresses its subject matter for a children's audience. Also like, obligatory piano simping.

Anyway: WE

Not terribly into this. Every time I tried to imagine myself liking the vocals, I had these awful, horrible intrusive thoughts of Spongebob trying to do the Scene Kid Drawl [TM] in my ear.

Nope. Sorry.

Like, the thing about going away to school in New York at the turn of the decade is that you have Empire State of Mind and well, this, competing to be the soundtrack of ~*~the start of the rest of your lives~*~ and it one hundred percent is not your fault that this song got played to death, but it's definitely Tom Higgenson's fault that he felt strongly enough about a fictional romance to write this song and make it everyone else's problem.

Ohhhh this is upsetting. It's like Chris Pratt screaming in my ear. I tried a few times to get into this, y'know, approach it on its own terms and all that but I think what's also frustrating is about halfway through it just abandons all artifice and devolves into The Most Obnoxious Refrain Imaginable.
