Eggbug was here. Eggbug mattered.

Goblin Party @ My Brain 24/7 | A week shy of 33 before Cohost closed. Cis, ACAB forever, Trans Rights Are Human Rights forever.

RIP Cohost 2024. You were the best social media site to have ever been done. Long live eggbug. If you're seeing this in the future, on some archive, be kind to others. It's the only way things get better.

Tag Game - Currently...

Courtesy of @bazelgeuse-apologist!

  • Currently reading: Fiction written by friends! Roleplay. I haven't done serious, healthy, fun text-based roleplay in AGES. I join one relatively small FFXIV discord, and suddenly I'm elbow deep! FR tho I don't end up reading a lot of books. My type of ADHD fucks me over real bad for it. Closest thing would be the PF2e Core.
  • Currently listening to: Fade by Christ vs Warhol, Ghost on the Road by A Shell in the Pit.
  • Currently watching: Dungeon Meshi, Bad Batch Season 3, waiting for a good copy of Dune Part 2.
  • Currently eating/drinking: Pepsi Max. Just the right amount of caffeine to not fuck me over. Farmer's Union Iced Coffee when I really need to be fucked over. Really enjoying this year's cheap-ass supermarket choc hot cross buns. They put a good amount of a decent-tasting chocolate in there, and they're just amazing. Also been on a big Shin Black Ramyun kick lately - after taking off heat, mix in a couple egg yolks to the broth, OOO baby that's delicious. Crispy fried egg-whites alongside? Fuckin' delish.
  • Currently playing: FFXIV! Considering Dragon's Dogma 1 - seems like a good time! Just preordered FFXIV: Dawntrail, waiting on Shadow of the Erdtree.
  • Currently craving: More of those hot cross buns! I'm out atm, and trying not to buy too many, b/c they're SO cheap and tasty... And easy to eat a whole bag in one sitting...

"join our discord" is the new "pinterest result on google." anti-information. your pursuit ends here. facts will not be found today. it's like if you asked someone on the street what time it was and they said "come into my church and take communion and I'll tell you"

discord is an organized, focused, hell-bent project to ensure that no! information ever! gets accidentally preserved. the purpose of a system is what it does, so discord's purpose is to lose things. "everything anyone has ever said on a topic" is the goal but they take what they can get

it used to be terrifying when the support / faq / help link on a website went to a forum. then they started going to wikis, and we all turned around and screamed at springy the spring sprite to take it back, we didn't mean it. we love zinc.

then they turned into discord links, and when we looked back at springy, we saw only satan

it's just an incredible one-two-three punch of "did you just tell me to go fuck myself?"

because you get part A: "almost everything we've ever said about our software project is in, basically, a 10 gigabyte text file spanning 8 years of conversations, many off-topic. here's a fulltext search. it replaces near-homonyms, so your search for the exact keyword 'CLOUT' will be silently altered to 'CLOUD'."

and part B: "you can't even look at it without loading it up in a separate program, possibly getting punted into a Welcome To Our Server process, having everyone on the server see your name (hope you weren't investigating something made by people who hate you!) and then having four people @ you the millisecond you join with generic welcomes (hope you don't have social anxiety!)"

and then part C: "if you gather up the courage to actually ask us for help after the fulltext search fails, we will insult you until you cry, even if you don't have social anxiety."
