Challenge #02295-F105: A Morbid Fascination
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Huo3CtZaYMY is a Good example.
Humans are (at least in comparison to other species) obsessed with End-of-the-World-Scenarios.
Aliens find this strange/bizarre and question a human. – Anon Guest
Human Raz was taking personal time to de-stress themselves. In this case, the relaxing activity involved yelling at a screen whilst their hands spasmed along the surface of a small, plastic interface. The Human’s dialogue was not coherent or relaxed. It mostly consisted of things like, “Come on,” or, “Arse,” or, “Eat it!”
Ryx was confused. “I was told you were in relax mode.” Ze kept hir distance, just in case. “What is this activity?”
“Playin’ a game.” Flashes of light illuminated Human Raz’s face. “Yes! Die! Die! Die ya bastards!” And then they cackled. “Yes! Made it. This damned level. Shit…” They stretched and let go of their interface. “Zombies and post-apocalyptic survival noise. You wouldn’t like it.”

Challenge #01041-B309: This Old Haunted Mansion
@callmegallifreya - This was fun to write.
Queensland Gothic
- There are dead snakes on the road. Somewhere in your line of sight is currently on fire. It’s perfect beach weather. Pack up the esky.
- No matter which way you go to your destination, you will pass a dead possum.
- You must put something inside your shoes when you take them off or there will be a spider in them in the morning. It’s too late. The spider is already there.
- Drilling small children on the venomous things that live in our oceans before we go swimming. Have fun, kids!
- The Drop Bear story is a joke to teach us all to look up for rotten branches overhead. Even the vegetation hates us.
- Winter is not that cold. Spring is. The lazy wind is too tired to go around your clothes. It goes straight through your bones.
- Long weekend? Time for a barbecue! Remember to check the barbie for snakes. And the gas tank. And the lawn furniture. And the food.
- There are flies everywhere. All the time. There are flies in the fridge. There are flies in your lunchbox. Keep waving them away before they lay their eggs. Nobody knows where they keep coming from. They are already there.
- There is a roadside pickup in a few weeks. You stop to check out some of the stuff that random neighbours leave outside. You watch random neighbours check out the stuff you left outside. The collection men never come, but the neighbours do.
- There is always an abandoned trolley in the culvert. Every day, it’s a different trolley. You never see them go in. You never see them come out. There’s a money reward for some of them to get returned, but the next day, there is a trolley in the culvert.
- Some kid is yelling at someone in the distance. You can’t tell what they’re yelling, or who they’re yelling to. Or whose kid it is.
- Someone is mowing their yard. When they stop, someone else takes their turn. If you skip your turn, they will break out the dirt bikes. There is no such thing as a peaceful Sunday morning.
- Cicadas come out of hiding on the first day of summer. Some years they deafen you with their sizzling noise. There is never a summer without them.
- Big, ovoid beetles come into your house just to turn upside-down and take hours to die. They try to crawl on you if you step on them. They are waiting for your bare feet. We think they mean it’s Christmas.
- No matter the neighbourhood, there is always one Bogan House with a dead car as a lawn ornament.
- The corner shops always have one generic grocery, one fish and chip shop, a newsagent, a chemist’s, and at least one fashion shop with a mayfly existence. By the time you want to go there, it will be gone.
- It’s just down the road to the nearest bottle-o. No matter where you go, there’s one just down the road. Bogans go there to smoke.
Request by melovu-longtime. I actually finished the gear painting so I get a treat… drawing some fun fan art… before I go on to try and render a nest full of shinies. I kept it simple because my tablet has been lagging pretty badly.
You didn’t specify how you wanted Rabbit to play with Beemo, so my take is that she and the others got separated when they wandered into a snowy region (Ice King asks whether Rabbit is a princess. She says ya better believe it. He tries something, she melts his palace) and she found this little house after seeing a whole bunch of people made out of candy. So she casually breaks in and sees a weird looking console with just a joystick fer cryin’ out loud and makes herself at home playing it.
Beemo thinks Rabbit is now his girlfriend. She likes him but still hasn’t forgotten the toaster incident…
Bee knows what I want. Yaaas.
WHOO success! Y’know, now that I read it over, it makes me think of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, only Rabbit in the land of Ooo would be like Goldilocks on a catastrophic scale… She melts the Ice King’s palace, she licks the candy people, she plays Beemo until he maxes out his top level and shorts out (oh, that just sounded filthy). That sofa’s gonna break next and Finn will come home to find his swords bent and his sleeping bag popped at the seams. And Rabbit curled up in stasis in Jake’s box.
Once upon a time in the magical land of Ooo…
“Stoopid b-b-brothers an’ their d-detachable heads, why I aughta…” Rabbit kicked a penguin as she stomped through the snow. The only bright side was that there was plenty of water for her boiler.
The downside was that she tended to sink to ground level. And the snow here was deep in most places.
As a direct result, Rabbit marched through the Ice Kingdom via a rabbit-shaped tunnel of her own making. Well, sort of queued, really. She did have to wait for the snow and ice ahead of her to melt from the heat of her boiler.
And to top it all off, she had to melt her way around a really big rock. This was so not fair. Standing around with only ice and granite to stare at while her stupid brothers and their stupid detachable heads got to have a stupid adventure in a stupid cave without her. At least there weren’t any snow-piranhas.
The space above her head increased as she queued her way around the gigantic rock. Rabbit ignored it. This was stupid and boring and it would serve her ro-bros right if they needed a flamethrower and didn’t have it because she wasn’t stupid there.
Stupid caves.
Who needed them? She could make her own in the stupid ice.
Rabbit was almost back on to the invisible track she had plotted for herself when -surprise, surprise- there was another stupid big stupid rock in her way.
This was beyond enough. She screamed fire at the damned rock and cussed at it with words she had saved up through thousands of years and uncountable wars. And it made it worse that all that that did for her was make more water and an ominous cracking noise overhead.
Uh oh…
Someone screamed as they fell. Rabbit caught them, of course, because some programming lasts beyond lifetimes. There was blue. And a lot of hair. And a crown. COOL!
“Who put that cavern there?” demanded the man.
“Y-y-y-you okay, m-m-mis-mister?”
He appeared to notice her. “Wow. You’re really hot.” A sharp-toothed grin. “And beautiful, too.”
Rabbit grinned back. Even with last century’s wig, she was pretty darn awesome. “Flat-t-t-tery might g-g-g-get you everywhe-where.”
“Are you a princess?” said the strange dude. “Please be a princess?”
“P-p-p-please. I have been a q-q-q-queen.”
And that was just where the trouble began.
When Hatchworth and The Spine finally caught up with her, Rabbit had melted the Ice King’s mountain fortress, and half of the Ice Kingdom, licked every last citizen of the Candy Kingdom and devoured the best part of three houses and a toffee car, destroyed the hearing of most of Ooo by jamming with Marceline and finally began a very interesting love affair with Beemo.
“B-B-BEST. QUINCEÑERA. EVER!“
“I knew it was a bad idea to leave you to your own devices,” sighed The Spine as he dragged her away.

Let's Play: SteamWorld Dig - YouTube
20 episodes uploaded and published.
Still working on the final session. My editor doesn’t like the sound, all of a sudden.
I’ll get there. And probably before there’s even a gap.
Let's Play: SteamWorld Dig
New videos uploading now!
I have some semblance of an internet again, so that means YOU get more videos. Yay.
SteamWorld Dig - YouTube
So… I went completely do-lally and decided to do a Let’s Play series.
I recorded a 2+ hour session and broke it up into 10-ish minute segments for your entertainment.
Sadly, this means that the first 15 episodes don’t contain game sound 9_9 Hopefully, I’ve sorted that out in the following session.
New episodes when my internet deigns to concede to upload them.
Fun fun asthma party times
It’s half-past four in the morning and I’m in triage, waiting to see a doctor.
At 3AM, I woke up with a barking cough and the regret that I hadn’t sought out my medication, yesterday. It was a public holiday and I thought it could wait.
For want of Atrovent, I wound up in a desperate search for anyone who would sell it to me. Hospital was my last resort. And they have procedures…
I’m going to be here for a while.
I could but I’d just feel so embarrassssssed
But my ideas were fun like
Hatchworth as the creepy Russian dude with all the rats
The Spine and Rabbit instead of the two old theatre women
And steve was coraline with little Steve as his button eyed doll
And Peter was the other “mother” with a creepier, more intricate key mask to match the lock on the little door
And I thought about having Michael reed as Wybie
Hatchworth’s Dancing Spider Chorus…
AU’s can have AU’s. In fact, I think we had a similar one to this on the chat…
This looks like fun. Do you have more?
