I kinda wonder if the Dhmis crew are still working on that game they discussed in that one article if said game is even dhmis-related.

Wait what would a Dhmis game even look like? Some mock-edutainment game? A virtual pet/Sims thing where we essentially play the role of Lesley??? A DATING SIM-*gets shot*

wdym? we already have an official dhmis game

after discussing the fridge scene and how it’ll probably be forgotten, instead of being sad about it ive been coming up with new, wackier confessions that could happen in the future. for example, i call this one “camping”:

yellow guy: (ran into the woods after setting the camp site on fire and probs got eaten by a bear or some shit)

red guy (sitting on the grass surrounded by fire in the dead of night): wow ur kinda pretty when ur on fire

duck (literally being burned alive in the flames but still sitting completely fine infront of red guy): *does the gay hand flick* oh stop it you. now that youve been nice to me we’re required by the universe to make gay love on the grass on fire right now

red guy (thinking in his brain): holy shit so are we like gay now? is this like a thing? do i have to do something now? do i have new homosexual responsibilities? flowers, maybe? was this even a good decision? will i regret this? are we going to die here in this fire?

duck (getting his head homo-erotically bitten bite-of-83 style while he slowly burns to death): “LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!” *extremely loud audience applause* *he suddenly combusts into a horribly disturbing explosion* *confetti*

lesley (sitting on the floor in the attic playing with a lego set of a campsite): *giggles britishly* *slams their little figurines together*

There was one of those hyperspecific polls that had an option like “your grandfather told you war stories that he never told anyone else” and now I feel like I have to tell the story about how a spider saved my grandpa’s life in WWII and how my family doesn’t kill spiders because we owe our existence to that One Single Spider

So to set the scene, it's the height of WWII in France and my grandpa—a 6'3" 20 year old upper Michigan farm boy—has been separated from his company after their temporary camp was shelled. My grandpa (who, I have to add, was nicknamed 'the Suicide Kid' at this point because he worked in demolitions and bomb interception and kept taking the jobs no one wanted with the expectation that he was never going home anyway) is scared out of his wits, wandering around the French countryside alone. He has to move at night and sleep in barns and sheds during the day to hide from people who most definitely want him dead.

On one of these days, he finds a farmhouse of a very jittery couple who agree to let him sleep in the barn, with the conditions that he sleeps in the barn loft and if he's found, they disavow all knowledge that he was there. He agrees, because he's exhausted and will sleep in a hay pile if he has to. My grandpa manages to fit all six foot three inches of himself into a feed trough stored upstairs and tries to get some sleep.

However, right when he's half-snoozing, he hears motors outside and sure enough, here are some very angry officers of mixed Nazi and Vichy make confronting the couple saying someone up the road spotted an American soldier walking this way. They wouldn't know anything about that, would they? No, of course not.

All the while, my grandpa—now trying to figure out how to either escape the barn unseen or how to fight off six? seven? eight? people at once—freezes up and waits for the inevitable. While he does, a HUGE spider crawls next to his head and onto the loft railing. For one second, he thinks about swatting it away, but that would risk him being seen and killed.

So, instead, he lays there and waits to either fight to the death or get executed in a feed trough. And while he lays there, the spider starts making a huge web on the railing. My grandpa's transfixed by this thing. He watches her go around and around, building a solid web before plopping herself off to one side and waiting for breakfast. At the same time, the officers finally go into the barn.

My grandpa can hear them searching around, turning over crates and checking animal pens. Then, he hears one say to check the loft.

And then another say, "Don't bother. Look at the spiderwebs up there. No one's been there in a while."

And they leave.

Because my grandpa didn't swat the spider away and let her build her web, the officers thought no one was there and left him alone. They drive off and my grandpa immediately thanks the farmer couple and hauls ass out of there as soon as he can.

After this, my grandpa refused to kill any spider, and his kids did the same. Because if it wasn't for her, he wouldn't have lived and would never have had kids or grandkids. So we owe her one.

There's the man himself. Go grandpa!!

Anyone want to hear about the epic slenderman x stardew valley dream I had recently?

Ok so the set up for the dream was that it was a scene from the new slenderman movie that had come out and this was one of the first scenes

The mc is riding to school with his friend and they’re both playing chess in the backseat (bc the mc is the smart one) The friend mentions slenderman and how to summon him via chess. So they do the ritual but get cut off at the last second cuz they’ve arrived at school.

The two get out of the car and enter the mc’s second friend and she’s the goofy one. They walk to school together and the mc gets an ominous feeling and there’s an eerie shoot of slenderman peaking out of the woods behind him. But this is cut off by the goofy bestie tagging the mc. He runs to a base (like a literal baseball base) while singing a few song lines (ig it’s a game they made when they were little and it’s implied that this is how slenderman is defeated)

Then he gets to the school entrance and passes through a metal detector and there’s one of those supermarket security camera tvs. It briefly shows the image of a giant, laughing, skeleton (this is not slenderman, but a completely different monster)

As he steps inside it is revealed that the school is like half Joja warehouse, and the Joja branding is everywhere.

And that’s where the dream ends
