With reference to your time travel tense puzzle concept: may I ask what 'parser fic' is?

Avatar

(With reference to this post here.)

Parser fic is a type of text-based interactive fiction where instead of selecting pre-defined prompts or dialogue options in order to take action, the player types natural-language commands, which the game interprets (or "parses") to translate into in-game actions. One of the most popular genres of parser fic, the text adventure, is the precusrsor of graphical, point-and-click adventure games, and plays very similarly, focusing on investigation and complicated inventory puzzles; other genres tend more toward artsy experimental stuff.

(To anticipate the obvious question from certain quarters of this blog's readership who are finding that description eerily familiar: yes, this is the genre of games that Homestuck is parodying in its early acts; yes, it's real; and yes, you should totally check it out. I suggest Emily Short's Counterfeit Monkey; it's esoteric as hell, but also one of the few modern parser fics with a proper tutorial chapter, so it's a lot more approachable as an entry point than its writeup makes it sound.)

tiktok age-protects cock jokes unless u send ur drivers license/passport to prove ur over 21. kill everyone now

this is what their support sent me. doesnt help every social media is copying tiktok atm the future of the web looks so grim rn. interent anonymity is in critical condition

I feel like signs like this of where the web is going are the number one sign to delete accounts on sites like TikTok and start using places that prioritize privacy even if their methods are imperfect. Any nugget of privacy you can get is crucial now.

Install duckduckgo and decentraleyes, use signal or element instead of discord for sensitive discussions, try not to post your face or name at all, and if you do don't do so extensively.

Make a DRM free music repository and for the love of God install an adblocker, hell if you have the free time make your own website and rss feed!

Make the web work for you instead of being a passive product. If a forum or site asked for like my id or passport to prove I was able to register or access parts of it a few years back I would think it's identity theft, and now it's just something that people view as fuckin everyday shit. Christ!!!

And uninstall TikTok! Uninstall Facebook Instagram any shit unless u know what you're getting into and put up several layers to stop tracking. Like. God. Dystopic shit here.
