happy friday the 13th here are some spooky text-based games for halloween:
contrition - As a priest, it’s your job to listen to your parishioners’ darkest secrets and absolve their guilt. But when a sinister stranger comes to the confessional one Halloween night, you realize it’s your soul on the line.
familiar - You are a familiar. Your mistress has some requests for you. Help her complete her ritual, or pay the price of failure.
jagged bone - A branching choose-your-own-adventure horror game about transformation and perspective.
the forest of candles (and the man with a lighter) - follows Maggie, a young woman with a fear of forest fires sparked by an old town folk tale. She’s spent years trying to escape her hometown and the fear it inspires in her, only to be called back for the funeral of an old friend.
mary’s hare - Mary’s Hare is short interactive horror story about a woman and a rabbit, based on the story of Mary Toft.
only this - “And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming / And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor…”
god is in the radio - you are death, one of 22 members of the major arcana, a cult dedicated to some far-off god. the night is halloween, and you watch in scorn as the unknowing dance among devils and dress to indulge in sin. the high priestess receives a message from the all-mighty himself: the arcana must gather in an abandoned house and find his song on an old radio receiver.
anchorhead - Travel to the haunted coastal town of Anchorhead, Massachusetts and uncover the roots of a horrific conspiracy inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft. Search through musty archives and tomes of esoteric lore; dodge hostile townsfolk; combat a generation-spanning evil that threatens your family and the entire world. (illustrated version on itch.io)
beneath floes - Qikiqtaaluk, 1962. The sun falls below the horizon and won’t return for months. You wander the broken shoreline, wary of your mother’s stories about the qalupalik. Fish woman, stealer of wayward children: she dwells beneath the ice.
the silence under your bed - An interactive horror collection about the strange, the spooky, and the macabre.
bogeyman - You can go home when you learn to be good.

I’M MAKING THE MUFFINS
Burnt my hand picking it up to show. Gonna wait to taste.
Ok so at this point I’ve had two people roll up to me in manual wheelchairs, well, one of them was somebody pushing somebody who was nonverbal at the time, but it still counts. They asked me why I had zip ties around my tires.
It’s winter where I’m living and we have really bad snow. And the snow plow people are really bad at their jobs probably because there aren’t snow plow people who clean sidewalks. As a solution I got to thinking about how I could increase the traction on my wheels. And the most redneck thing I could think of was taking a bunch of zip ties and tying them around my wheels. They last surprisingly long, and work surprisingly well. It’s basically the same premise as chains for your tires during the winter.
I chose to space them out pretty evenly so there’s about one for every spoke. You could probably do more or less depending on how many you want and how much traction you get but I wouldn’t go more than three per spoke. I realize that it’s a bit later in the winter, and I probably should have made a post about this sooner, but I came up with it about a week ago. So please share this, even if you’re not disabled, because there are tons of people I know who are stuck in their houses because they can’t get around in the snow. A pack of zip ties costs about $5, which compared to $200 knobby snow tires is a big save, and if you want to invest you could get colored zip ties.
Sharing for accessibility
Oh fuck yes. Thank you all the abled people between op and me this is exactly what I needed to see 💜
ooh sweet, thanks for the tip
(for anyone using their chair both indoors and outside, highly recommend wheelchair ‘slippers’/wheel socks like these so you don’t tear up wood/vinyl/linoleum flooring with the zip ties!)
If you guys aren’t following the Sssniperwolf vs Jacksfilms Arc you’re really missin out
Ok ok ok reblogging with my own tags within the text of the post itself for ppl who want the rundown, because I GOTTA tell people about this progression.
for those who are smart enough to not keep up with Youtube Drama for fun (unlike me), sssniperwolf is a React channel and she makes her money off of reuploading tiktoks. without permission or credit or compensation to the creators - often times taking the videos of minors too. and she kinda sits there and goes damn that’s crazy. and reads the caption of the video — and that’s kinda it? and makes- no exaggeration- millions of dollars off of this really uncool practice
and jacksfilms (other youtube person) on his channel made videos criticizing this exact thing. after also tweeting about it and then her replying with a public meltdown where she said he’s bald and ugly and just hates to see a woman be successful. no I’m not exaggerating. and now jack has been doing livestreams where he plays bingo using her react videos. w his viewers. bc they’re so predictable that you can make a bingo game out of it. really drives home how nothing is really being Added to the stolen videos she’s reacting to.
he’s been on a Credit The Creators sorta crusade w freebooting in general but right now it’s picked up a lot of momentum! and by drawing attention to it, a lot of the original creators (of the videos she takes on her channel) are being notified that their stuff was taken. now, they’re being encouraged to file a claim and get their clips removed, if they don’t want their content used in this way. so a lot of her videos are being deleted or are being shortened to delete the clips of ppl who file a claim!
anyway she showed up to his genuine actual real life house in real life. and streamed it to her audience (on ig I think?) doxxing him and his family, putting him in physical danger. bc he keeps making videos telling her to credit the creators. shit is WIIIIIIIILD it’s been so long since I saw a youtube story arc that had nothing to do with pedophilia. it’s a refreshing change. or it WAS before she escalated an online battle to something that puts ppl’s physical safety at risk. she’s also been arrested for armed robbery before lol
YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS UP
