I probably should've written this first... anyway! Better late than never :)

You might know me as @_kimimi from the bird site and if you do - hi!

If you don't - hi! But you also get a brief introduction/explanation/apology: I tend to chat a lot about all sorts of games wherever I go (the photo above is my "sample" image if you like, containing some of my favourites), spam my socials with screenshots of whatever I'm playing, and also write about my experiences over here:

Nice to meet you!

the low effort post thread from the other day has me wondering: what’s the highest effort post ever made?

is it homestuck? the voyager golden records? what are the upper bounds of posting?

@vogon

homestuck and the voyager golden records are good picks here but I think another overlooked classic of posting is twilight, which started out as 50 shades of grey fic

edit: as @ghoulnoise pointed out I typoed the relationship here, and 50 shades of grey is actually twilight fanfic

I am extremely sleepy

50 shades is a fairly epic post but honestly it's not even among the most epic fanfics. and honestly given that it reads like it was written in a single draft without editing i would call it about as low effort as something of its length could possibly be. my vote is firmly for homestuck as the highest effort post of all time

a fanfic that IS maybe among the highest effort posts is the subspace emissary's worlds conquest, which is over four million words. but homestuck might still have it beat, being a multimedia project and all.

i started playing persona 5 for the first time now that it's on pc. i'm playing with english text and japanese voices. in the game you get an app on your phone that lets you go to other worlds. in the japanese, this is called the「異世界ナビ(isekai navi)」. when the game came out in 2017, they elected to translate this as "metaverse navigator", which is rather unfortunate in 2022. for the unfamiliar, 異世界 means "other world" or "another world" in japanese. "otherworld navigator" would be a perfectly sensible alternate translation.

this does, however, open up the possibility of referring to all metaverse bullshit as "isekai," which i will be doing from now on.
