so cohost is pretty much dead. i hope the source code gets released but that's pretty rare.

i have accounts on BLUESKY, MASTODON and TUMBLR. but idk how often i will update them.

https://bsky.app/profile/giwake.bsky.social - BSKY
https://peoplemaking.games/@giwake - MASTODON
giwake.tumblr.com - TUMBLR

i'll be using BSKY most often because most of my friends are on there and it seems like the most common place people go to. i'm sorry but mastodon blows for a user who just wants to post and follow people.

ALSO: join @joewintergreen 's discord. that's probably where i'll be THE MOST active if you enjoyed my posts. it's also a good chill discord for game developers.

i'll be logging off cohost tbh. i'll miss it. it's probably the best online posting experience yet and i'm upset capitalism killed it. i just cant handle the doomscrolling.

thank you all.

i hope there's a spiritual successor sometime in the future. all of the webdev furries should get in on that shit. make a good social media site. a better future is possible, we just have to make it.

god bless you all. i hope we can all see each other in the future.

honestly i forgot it was a thing until i was browsing tvtropes (I JUST LIKE BROWSING THROUGH IT LIKE WIKIPEDIA) and came across it again. and like. holy fuck i didn't know that A: it was going until 2019(?!) and B: it ended

and all i can say is: wow, it has aged... questionably.
the acting is wooden at best, plot points appear and disappear at the drop of a hat, there's some kind of uncomfortable moments and it has just not held up all that well, especially when compared to stuff like marble hornets.

the main villain (that isn't slenderman, who barely makes any appearances late in the story and doesn't really have much of a bearing on the plot) is what can only be described as "tumblr sexyman bait", a mix of the joker, bill cipher and every snarky villain in a cartoon ever. every scene he's in feels like watching an awkward kid pretend to be the joker and it's kind of embarrassing to watch after a while. he even wears a fedora in multiple scenes... eugh.

(spoilers below the bit)
