Never ask midwesterners, "what is a casserole?" They'll look at each other, then look back at you, then look at each other, realizing that it's very difficult to define a casserole in any other way than fridge slop baked in sauce underneath the layer of cheese, literally any kind of fridge slop you can imagine. It's not really appetizing to say that a casserole is literally whatever was left in their fridge thrown in a pan, and it's embarrassing that it isn't anything more special than that. They can't just explain normally, their midwestern usa pride is on the line. So, instead of telling you what a casserole is, one of them pipes up and says they put noodles in theirs, then the other one pipes up and gets mad because noodles don't belong in casserole and it should only ever be filled with rice, and then the other one calls them out for using tater tots on top instead of bread crumbs, and the first one is offended that they would use anything other than tater tots. In the end, you're left still confused and with zero clue of what a casserole is, while they continue to fight politely for the next 3 hours over which kinds of casserole it's appropriate to add french fried onions too. Naturally, this also applies to Martians who grew up in New Minnesota.

I am starting to understand why the Non-Cohabitation Treaty of 4030 happened. It makes a lot more sense now why the intergalactic republic of earth, and the alternian empire decided to enter a no-contact agreement. We haven't even met in person yet in our session, and we're already having human on troll conflicts of morality and heated arguments. That war lasted for nearly three centuries of on and off fighting before both sides just decided not to interact at all. Many lives were lost. I hope my coplayers and I aren't barreling towards the same fate all over again. #cw-war #sburb #worldbuilding #fansession
7ou're in a fu(ked up nightmare video game survival situation. pointing that out, and that 7ou all need to work together to survive, might help
I'm worried about Darlyn. I can't put my finger on exactly what is making my stomach twist into knots about it, but I feel like something is wrong. She just seems different after getting into the game. We can all pretty well tell that she's depressed, that's for sure, but she's also not letting any of us in. In a situation where she has nothing left to lose and previous societal norms are no longer, she is still choosing not to let herself get attached to anyone else except the two high blood trolls she brought with her. It wouldn't be the first time that she's lied by omission, or directly, and at this point coplayers keeping secrets from each other becomes more and more worrying the further we get into this game, knowing that we are supposed to be acting as a team. I don't want to see it happen, but it feels more and more like there's going to be a schism in the party between the rest of us and the three high blood trolls. I guess I'll just have to enjoy the relative peace while it lasts. There's a lot to like about her, but I can't overlook the huge red flags. All three of them are putting out big red flags, I just can't quite put my finger on how to describe it. I don't think we're going to be able to stay friends forever, no matter how genuinely we all wanted to include her, Shugga and Acedia. Even though I know that there's nothing really I or anyone else can do if it comes to that, I feel really sad knowing how lonely she's probably feeling right now under that mask, and how much worse it's going to get if she makes a regrettable and tragic choice. We still know next to nothing about Shugga and Acedia as is. These are the same trolls that organized this group of people in the first place to play. I am wondering at this point if they had some specific goals in mind that they dont plan on making the rest of us privy to until its too late to turn back. #sburb #recap #frienddrama

See, thats somewhat what I was thinking about my thoughts a first, too. I could just be making an assumption based on their castes as a whole in error and ignorance, so I was willing to put aside my apprehensions. After closer inspection, I'm not so sure I was wrong to be concerned. They are a hopelessly outnumbered dissenting minority in favor of maintaining hemospectrum hierarchy into our new reality, nobody else wants that. Lying and threats of violence when the team has their own ideas about how to play is slowly generating animosity towards them. The cracks are starting to show. Push is going to come to shove eventually, and I'm trying really hard not to think about it too much. It's a very sad thing when people's differences become irreconcilable to the point of having to set boundaries by force instead of agreement.

I just don't want to live in a world where trolls like Haiwei get treated like objects that can just be discarded when they break down or break rank. I want her to be happier than that, and safer than that.

On an sweeter note, I want to share some more social updates as well about how our session is going. So, one of my co-players, Haiwei, has been asking us girls a lot of questions. They were obsessed with humans, mammals, and the things that our bodies can do. At first it was really irritating, they'd ask all kinds of intrusive questions about how bodies work for human women, sometimes men but mostly women. Some of them were very inappropriate questions, which I think is a product both of them being a rather isolated individual and also probably some kind of troll specific neurodivergence making it more difficult for them to read social cues and understand what's appropriate or too much. Either way, this was an intense, repeated curiosity and admiration. Nobody really understood why the obsession was so big, until the truth finally came out. It all clicked for us when she finally said outright that she just wanted to be more like us in the way that her body looks. At first we all thought that they were asking for a sample of Cora's HRT medication because they wanted to study the differences or something, or maybe to investigate the hormonal and chemical processes that induce lactation in humans as something just foreign, alien and novel in concept that they were fascinated by. Now, I don't really know how to break it to her that human medication for that isn't going to work for a troll in the same way. I think Cora will have a much better understanding of how to handle that situation with grace, but she's also not the most emotionally sensitive or inclined so maybe not. It's going to be tough for everyone to find a way to support her in transitioning medically like she wants without any doctors left in the universe. We'll find a way! I know we can. Surely, in an interdimensional apocalypse game that can create a pocket dimension specifically for the people who are playing it, create brand new objects out of combined captcha codes pulled from thin air like magic, and sling meteors across an entire universe like it's nothing, there has to be a way to make her dreams come true. There's no way that something this magical and impossible cannot produce such a result somehow. We've been planning a girls night for a while as soon as all of us can find a way to meet up together. Lots of fun discussions about what we're going to do when we get there. The invitation has of course been extended to Haiwei! It's the least we can do. I also gave her a captcha code for one of the dolls I used to play with when I was little girl because she keeps talking about how curious she is about babies and motherhood and I wanted to give her a little piece of that joy. She hasn't made it yet, but I hope that she likes it. I might see if we can get together and do a kind of hand me down party, donate a bunch of captcha codes that she can alchemize together and make some new outfits that feel affirming and more like herself. We can call it a dress up party! What's more girly than getting together and doing makeovers? I think between that and spa days, that's about as girly as it gets. In the meantime, does anyone here have recommendations about how to support a troll transitioning mtf? I'm not entirely sure about what feminine gender presentation looks like for trolls, or the kinds of things that they need specifically that I as a human would not understand. I just really want to be there for my friend in any way that I can, and the way that will support her the most in her specific situation. Thanks everybody! #sburb #coplayers #transition #mtf #transawakenings #imsohappyforher

Thank you so much! This is really helpful. I have been using crayon captcha codes to change the color of items recently. I do have some makeup, and I do have some clothes, so if I can get a picture of her in good lighting I bet I could color match her some foundation, highlighter, bronzer, blush, lipstick, etc and appropriately hued makeup and clothes. I think I will go ahead and wrap it up in a fun box with some decorative paper and give it to her as a coming out present! I could give her a captcha code for it... but I think it would be more meaningful to wait until I can give it to her in person.
Yes please! Haiwei is a gold blood, does high blood certified mean medicinal quality, or that it is designed for highbloods specifically? I have no idea how hormones and troll phenotypes work, or if they are even the same across all castes or not. I don't want to get it wrong and make her very, very sick by mistake. Hopefully this fluidity can come in handy for her. All things considered, I am a little bit curious about the fact that she is so obsessed with specifically the human version of what femininity looks like. She does not talk about the troll women around us like she talks about human women. This a development that has me pretty stumped. Can trolls have maternal feelings or instincts? She seems to be intensely interested in the maternal qualities of femininity. There are troll women in this session, and she doesn't talk about wanting a chest like theirs, she wants one like. Yknow, mine, bells and whistles included. I don't know what to do with that.

I apologize sincerely that it has been so long since my last update. Things have been getting complicated for my co-players and I. All of us are safely in the game, but the word safe is hardly the way I would describe the situation that we are in now. If you've ever heard the turn of phrase, out of the fire and into the frying pan, that's about where we are now. I am looking down into a giant mystery tubeslide hole in the ground leading to nowhere on my otherwise extremely empty and boring player land, and debating whether or not I should jump in or wait for my co-player who is trying to get to and join me accomplish that first. My cat is now a giant ghost robot thing, and it's very unclear whether or not it is benevolent. This is confusing and alarming for all of us, because nobody else's sprite seems to be acting in the way that mine does. How would I describe it? Malicious compliance, willful ignorance, weaponized incompetence, inaction, negligence? It seems to be fulfilling its duties to protect the player as minimally as it can, as lazily as possible, and it's main priorities are somewhere else. I'm not sure exactly what putting the Marsguide into the kernel did to it, but it wasn't anything good. In theory, throwing in what is essentially a interplanetary amazon alexa smart home llm model should have made it especially adaptable and capable of responding to the environment as a tutorial entity, instead it just seems to know too much even for a sprite It just seems like everything I do ends up going wrong somehow, no amount of trying to logic my way around the problems in this game seems to produce any kind of positive result. It's almost never until after I lose my patience that I seem to make any progress, and only because I ended up smashing something so hard that it just kind of started working. Have you ever had a controller that's getting old and the trigger buttons have stopped working and the cartridge jack is partially unseated, so every once in awhile you just kind of bang it on the table and it kind of just starts working again for seemingly no reason? Playing this game feels a lot like that to me, or at least the way this game wants me to play feels a lot like that. #sburb #drama #recap
wel(ome ba(k, al7s. and wel(ome to the game. it's a real pain in the ass, 7eah. sprites are supposed to be helpful guides, with some quirks depending on what 7ou threw in, but some protot7pings making them full7 un(ooperative. the game is about self-a(tualization, as mu(h as it is an7thing else. ea(h land is a lesson tr7ing to tea(h 7ou something. it seems to me like the lesson is kind of obvious, huh? tr7 leaning into it, to progress if nothing else. might work on 7our sprite, too. although ma7be not, he looked kind of freak7, as i re(all.
Okay. I guess I'll just keep breaking stuff until it looks. I don't think the sprite is as bound by the kind of rules I'd like, nor expect.
Things are different now. My cat's a monster, my room is a mess and half of my friends are aliens who I can't tell if they want me dead or not on a daily basis. Made two awesome girl friends, if we ever got separated I think I'd throw a fit, and they would, too. No more job, no more corporate bullshit bogging down my days. Look at me, cursing, inappropriate, lashing out in ways I never thought i could, never thought I would. It's all so much, it's overwhelming. I'm back and forth between joy and despair in a way that makes me feel like I'll rip apart at the seams. I'm not sure what's wrong with me, but I think I'm starting to like the way this game is changing me. I don't recognize myself in the mirror, but I'm more myself than I've ever been at the same time. #sburb

I'm not sure why multiple individuals have such peculiar things to say about my gaming plans this evening, but it's alright. I'll keep it in mind for later.
I have some time this evening, so I plan on playing this fascinating new videogame with some new friends. It's an odd lobby, but it will do.
No, I tired of that one awhile ago. It's fun, but you can only play an arcade title so many times before it exhausts its appeal.
oh bo7. well. 7ou’ve got some vets here, i think, so feel free to ask if 7ou need help
I CAN ASSURE YOU, IT IS A GAME FAR MORE REWARDING WHEN PLAYED ALONE.
I think I'll be fine. I've played quite a few games in this genre, I'm sure I'll get the hang of it in no time.
That seems counter intuitive to a multiplayer game, I think I'll pass.
Fun fact; The original colonists on mars were not in fact living people who volunteered to go themselves, but rather cloned people derived from volunteered DNA scheduled to be duplicated after interplanetary transfer. It was not possible at that time to transport enough live people to maintain genetic diversity in a space colony. All of the first generation colonists were lab grown by androids, which were supervised by human astronauts who happened to be from Minnesota, hence the colony's name; New Minnesota, Mars. Since we seem to be discussing cloning. I suppose that means I am a descendant of clones. Does that make me a clone, or not?
