spiraliciousChallenge #4: Rec The Contents Of Your Last Page
Any website that you like, be it fanfiction, art, social media, or something a bit more eccentric!
My online footprint is not nearly as fun as it used to be. Basically, I visit here on DW, my library website, Subeta, YouTube, Buzzfeed & mental floss for quizzes, and canihazcheeseburger for memes (mostly cats and Tolkien Tuesday). Outside of researching and trying to see if dead crafting sites from the 2010s are still functional, that's it.
Subeta is a 21 year old browser based pet adoption game. Think neopets, but snarkier, you have a human avatar you can dress, and they know their core user base are adults. I am coming up on my 11th (12th?) Anniversary of playing there. I have 12 pets. The game can be as social as you want it to be and enough activities, you could spend hours each day playing outside of events. My favorite things are wizard questing, curating my pets' treasures, creating outfits and scenes for my human avatar, and gentech experiments.
As for events, the site just had it's new year's event from the 1st until the 18th. You earn new years tokens by questing or from random events. There is a shop that while open year round, only takes new years tokens as currency. The Snowtapult is open. This normally happens from December 21st until whenever Survival starts in February. Basically, there are something like 80 different kinds of snowballs you can buy with in game money and fling at other users, each with unique effects that temporarily show up on their human avatar. I have slowly been working for the maximum achievement for this for years. Coming up is one of my favorite events, which is Survival. It's a 2 part event. One part is "kissing" other users to earn candy hearts, which are one of the many in game currencies. The other part is "biting" and being bitten by other users to get infected with zombie virus' to collect the different wearable zombie skins. There are more details, but those are the broad strokes.
Dungleon is a Wordle mechanics dungeon crawl based game. You can play once a day. You have to figure out what creatures occupy the dungeon before you run out of guesses. It's a lot of fun.
YouTube Recs I spend possibly too much time on YouTube, mostly watching reddit reaction videos or long form video essays and podcasts. I also have several unfinished youtuber recs post in progress, so what thought I would do was make a list of YouTube channel recs that I feel should be be recommended, but I don't think I have recced anywhere. (I did include if they were primarily short or long content video creators, but most do both.)
India Rose Crawford (short form) - They make the lovely knitted Frog and Toad videos.
Zacspeaksgiant (short form) - mostly reading ttrpg related heritage tumblr posts, but he also cosplays & does ttrpg actual play videos. His tumblr post readings are frequently later animated by Punkydoodles.
Sam Bentley (long form) - monthly videos highlighting positive news stories
ThatGoodNewsGirl (short form) - semi daily videos highlighting positive news stories
SorrelsSouls (short form) - videos about making 3D printed frogs and occasionally other animals (think frogs as wizards, frogs as jam jars, squogs, frogs as fruits, etc)
Izzzyzzz (long form) - deep dives into bits of internet history and lore (old web games, personified OS fandom, creepypastas, etc)
Che Jim (short form) - "comedy, education, history, and horror. Indigenous" (I couldn't add the emojis from his bio) and he is the host of Crash Course: Native American History.
A Brush with Bekah (long form) - weird art history and poisonous paint
KK Der Obst (short form) - voice overs of her personal lore on videos of her painting, often painting leather goods.
Natural Habitat Shorts - learning animal facts with funny animated videos
Gävle Goat LIVE - livestream of the Gävle goat every year from the time it's constructed until it comes down, one way or another.
Mallory Heart (short form) - 80's fashion
Andrea Nelson Art (short form) - watercolor tutorials
Girl with the Dogs (long & short) - pet grooming videos
Uyen Ninh (short form) - the adventures of a Vietnamese woman living in Germany
RefashionedHippie (short form) - best know for her "stupid rich people fashion" series. Roasts items in the realm of "expensive just the be expensive regardless of quality." (Think high-end designer label thousands of dollars item made of cardboard, $100,000+ nail polish, Balenciaga's packing tape roll bracelet, etc)
Megan and Ben (thehitobito) (short form) - life in Japan, with a very silly tone
Lucy Darling/carisahendrix (short form) - clips from her live comedy shows as her persona, Lucy Darling and Wednesday inspirational posts ("next time you think you should behave, don't")
Casual Geographic (long form) - wildly entertaining educational nature videos
Japan Eat (short form) - humorous food reviews of convenience store foods and restaurants in Japan
