Aw, how’s this for some good old nostalgia?

Wait

No way.

I guess nobody remembered that I was on FictionPress, too.

So, hi. I’m the girl you all knew as Tara. My FF.net account really was hacked (twice!), once in 2006 and again in 2009. As of 2017, Support still doesn’t answer my requests to regain it, although I can’t say I blame them. They’re probably scared I’ll flood their site with poorly written sex scenes again.

I’m lucky the hackers never migrated to this account, considering it had the exact same login credentials. (They’ve since been changed, don’t worry.)

I’ll let the account’s creation date speak as to whether it’s legitimate or not.

Thank you all so, so much for keeping My Immortal alive over the years. You fill my heart with so much love. (Preppy moment, oops.)

That’s about all I have to say for now.

Because I’ve received several messages asking this, and predict I may receive more, I’ll answer it here. No, I am not Lani Sarem. Really bad fiction simply tends to read the same. No, I’m not on Facebook. Or Deviantart. Or MySpace. Or Youtube. (Etc.) I am on Tumblr. But I use my real name there, and it’s not Tara.

She’s okay!

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD.

This Year Cannot Be Real Holy Shit

Quantum Suicide

If you haven’t heard of it, “Quantum Suicide” is an indie visual novel which is soon coming to Steam (on Mac, PC, and Linux), as well as the Playstation Vita. The primary creators of this game are a duo called “Cotton Candy Cyanide” and have been working on this game alongside a team of artists, musicians, and programmers, as well as a group of professional Japanese voice-actors.

The game is similar to games like 999, and Danganronpa, with a killing game and interactive gameplay sections. But, it is also a dating sim with multiple courtable characters who each have their own sexual preferences, and endings.

Official kickstarter with tons of extra information and character profiles!

“We are really inspired by the Zero Escape series as well as the Danganronpa series so for you to get that feel means a lot to us!” – Cotton Candy Cyanide

The game’s tags include:

  • anime
  • horror
  • romance
  • meaningful-choices
  • multiple endings
  • sci-fi

Summary:

“Quantum Suicide is a Japanese-style Visual Novel set in space. You play as a researcher aboard a spaceship on an epic mission to find humanity a new home. The mission is jeopardized by a corrupted A.I system that forces you to play “The Deletion Game”, a weekly game where you must battle your crew mates for survival. Prepare to make both friends and enemies of your crew members as you play through a series of puzzles and strategy mini-games. Can you see the Everett’s mission through to the end…alive?

It’s time to ask yourself: what would you do to survive?”

Let’s Players are the American equivalent of Japanese Idols.

From the fact that everyone wants to be one, right down to the fans who will absolutely piss their pants if their favorite one get’s a significant other.

Strong agree. Japanese Idols and LetsPlayers have a much stronger focus on a cult-of-personality style following. Being a good, likeable person is paramount to success. As opposed to Western celebrities, who can be scandalous & not necessarily likeable and still have quite lucrative careers.
Also the typical j-idol stars’ publicity heavily includes interacting with other idols/personalities, playing games, reacting to experiences, vlogging, etc, same as LetsPlayers. Idols and LetsPlayers both try to, through media, create an intimate, personable experience- this person is supposed to feel like your FRIEND, at the end of the day. It’s really quite interesting!

Apparently the sole admin for the Silent Hill wiki is a radical anti-circumcision guy who uses the wiki as a platform to rant about how people who were circumcised at birth should receive reparations, and he justifies it by saying that the games contain anti-circumcision imagery (they don’t), and he’s yelling at and banning people who try to delete his ramblings from the articles. I find this very very funny.
