This is making me cry
Itβs like itβs physically fighting her-
and she is losing in the most horrific way possible
i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.
there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.
anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.
if you're ever thinking about making a niche project that only a select number of individuals will be nerdy enough to enjoy, keep in mind i've been playing some of these games off and on for 20~ years (Alter Ego, for example). quite literally a lifetime of replayability.
since this post blew up, i've been wanting to do an addition with all of the recommendations from the comments and tags. but there's a lot of them. some people might be crazy enough to sit down and seriously put them all in one post with descriptions. those people are honestly sick in the head.
anyway, here's all of the recommendations from the reblogs. not all of them are text-based, but it's a great mixture of styles. also don't forget the links in the second paragraph of the OP which will take you to FMHY where there are a bunch more games listed.
thank you to everyone who contributed and the creators. please be sure to show them some love where possible.
Meet the Mona Lisa of the Prado, the earliest known copy of Da Vinciβs best portrait. Similarity in the undersketch of the painting indicates that this was very likely painted concurrently with the original Mona Lisa, by a student of Da Vinci.
There is much controversy in the art world over the question of whether or not to clean the fragile Mona Lisa, but her sister has been restored and some fairly odd later alterations removed to show the original vibrant colors and lighting. Some details, such as the sheerness of her shawl and the pattern on the neckline of her dress, have become utterly obscured in the original, but in the restored copy theyβre perfectly clear.
It blows my mind a little bit to look at these two sisters side-by-side and imagine how much vivid detail could be hiding in the Mona LisaΒ under 500 years of rotten varnish.Β
THE COPY HAS EYEBROWS
Your response to a beautiful piece of artwork done by Leonardo Da Vinci himself is βSHES GOT EYEBROWSβ. Alright. All intelligent life has been lost.
Yo Snooty McSnotwhine, the Mona Lisaβs vanished eyebrows have been the subject of debate and analysis in the art expert community for hundreds of years, long before your parents squirted water at each other from across the clown car and then honked their bicycle horns to indicate they really wanted to make a smug, insufferable little clown baby together.Β
this continues to be the best reply to a criticizing comment on this site
oh i'm going to misusle and straight up fuckle this knowledge so badly
[ID: A Tweet from "wylfcen" that reads: "A door blows open in your mind when you learn about the suffix -le, it explains so much. People used to add it to verbs to mean βmore than onceβ or continuouslyβso originally, to ramble is to βroamβ on, to jostle is to joust repeatedly, and to sparkle is to emit lots of sparks." Below is a screenshot from the website Wiktionary, which reads:
"-le
crack -> crackle
daze -> dazzle
draw ("to drag") -> drawl
game -> gamble
grope -> grapple
hand -> handle
nest -> nestle
nose -> nuzzle
prate ("to talk") -> prattle
scribe ("to write") -> scribble
sniff -> sniffle
wrest ("to twist") -> wrestle".

Look I love unconditional devotion love stories as much as the next person, but there's really something so deliciously raw about conditional devotion.
I have served you and I have loved you for decades, but I will not give up my principles for you. You cut out part of my heart and took it with you down that path that you insist on walking, but you walk it alone. Even when the bleeding, gaping hole you left in my chest kills me, I will not follow you.
