Hi!
I'm sorry if you've already been asked these!
😅 What's a story or scene you've created that you're a smidge embarrassed exists?
🍦 What's the sweetest fic you've created so far?
Thank you! <3
Ohhhh @serial-doubters-club... I thank you so much for giving me this opportunity. Because... ancient archeologist Neut found a thing.
😅 What's a story or scene you've created that you're a smidge embarrassed exists?
I will take you back to the 1990s. To a time when your dear Neut was a horse girl, and was writing original fics on Microsoft Word. These days of yore were before the internet, so this particular hobby of mine has not yet been witnessed. But... I want to show you something a 13 year old horse girl me wrote.
In part because I cringed when I read it, and in part because it's a nice reminder of how far we can come with experience and practice. Very few people are born ultra-talented. We all work to get better and to grow creatively and with our use of language.
So, I give you. An original fiction by 13 year old me. Behold and cringe the cringiest cringes, but also smile and know that when we work at things, we improve, more and more and more! So let all of us keep doing things that we thoroughly enjoy, knowing that each time we ask "how can I make this better? what can I improve?", we truly do.
Without further ado, you will find The Call of Courage under the cut (edited only for 1 or 2 typos. Every other grammatical error has been left inside for all). Written by 13 year old Horse Girl, Neutron.
There is a ranch of endless fun and unmistakable pride in their horses, which have been educated by only the best; Rachel Marcus and Claudia Mitchell.
"Bulls eye," boasted Rachel in victory "You'll never top that Claudia"
"Try me," answered Claudia as a dart seemed to cut through the air and made a direct hit on the bulls eye almost on top of Rachel's.
"I can see you've been practicing," said Rachel glumly
"Yup," replied Claudia
The two put the darts away and went out to the pony pasture and spotted Shadow Rider and Devil’s Tomb , the two bay haflingers who fled when they saw the bridles in the hands of Claudia and Rachel. Claudia cornered them so Rachel jumped on and hurled the bridle on the head of Shadow Rider, the unhappy pony. Then she flung herself on top of him. Shadow Rider didn't agree to the idea of being ridden so he put up a fight by rearing, bucking, and shying up a storm. Claudia brought Devil’s Tomb under control quickly, and maneuvered her toward the gate. Devil’s Tomb was a fairly large pony at 14 hands (4’ 8”) and was strong, whereas Shadow Rider was a lot friskier than Devil’s Tomb, but Rachel finally brought him under control. Claudia started Devil’s Tomb into a canter since the fence was low and she had done this trick 100 times before. Devil’s Tomb 's hooves met the air and they flew over the fence as if they were champion show jumpers. Rachel followed, quickly but cautiously as both of the ponies made graceful landings. Rachel trotted Shadow Rider into the ring.
"That was exhilarating," remarked Rachel "C'mon Claudia"
The ponies' erratic behavior disappeared as two well trained ponies entered the ring. Claudiawalked and then trotted around the ring. At that moment Brian walked up and he looked like he was bringing good news.
"Guys," he exclaimed "There are 5 new people coming to the ranch and their names are Matthew Ellison, Nate Smallhurst, John Foreman, Monique Jinnerson, and Samantha Jackson!"
"Cool," said Claudia calmly
"Maybe we can be friends," chorused Rachel
The trio went, and planned out a way to welcome the newcomers..
Of course Milley, Jacoline, Jinny, and Whitney wanted the newcomers too. Milley Smits was Claudia 's cousin and a mall-o-holic. She had green-gray eyes and blonde hair. Milley looked like Claudia but was uglier. Claudia had innocence imbedded in her eyes which were in a shade of blue that would make any model die of jealousy. She also had very long legs and a perfect figure, and on the otherhand, Milley was stumpy.
Milley was hiding in the bushes near the driveway where she thought the 5 would show up, it was the wrong drive way though. The people would have to join Milley's club which she called The Secret Society, but Claudia called it The Mental Society. Claudia was admiring the pigment in the red roses which brought a glimmer to the garden as she saw a van pull up with lots of luggage. Claudia was the first to the van. Then out two girls walked, followed by two good looking guys but as if lady luck gave a jolt with all her might the last guy walked out. He had hair of pure gold, and eyes the same color as Claudia's. Rachel and Brian saw the same things with other people. Then there were two who were being all cuddly with each other each of them had blonde hair and cute brown eyes. Then all eight of them immediately united and became inseparable friends.
"I'm Claudia Mitchell," said Claudia breaking the silence
"I'm Matthew Ellison," said the "perfect" guy
"I'm Brian Hepler," said Brian staring at the girl next to him
"I'm Monique Jinnerson," said Brian's girl
"I'm John Foreman," said the guy as he nuzzled the girl
"I'm Samantha Jackson," said the girl who was nuzzled
"Don't forget about me," complained Rachel "I'm Rachel Marcus"
"And I'm in love..... I mean I'm Nate Smallhurst," said the guy admiring Rachel
"Cool, now we all know each other," stated Claudia "You should be able to see the cabins now"
The 8 of them hurriedly retreated to the cabins, and all of them had good ones in a small, grouped in area. All of them sat down as Milley came running up and then started screaming.
"You two-timing, twit!" she screamed with all the force her little lungs could make "These people are supposed to be mine!"
"Me being the two timer?" snapped Claudia "You are a two timing, mall hopping, guy hopping, psychotic gossip!"
Milley looked at her with revenge in her eye and she knew how to get it too. She trudged back to her bunk, and sneered, then smirked. Claudia was finishing up her chores and planning on spending the rest of the afternoon giving Matthew a tour. The bond between them grew, with every step they took together.
"Y'know, I am hoping on going canoeing with you tomorrow so we can see the woods," whispered Claudia
"All I want to see is you," said Matthew subconsciously
"That is the sweetest thing you have ever said to me," said Claudia, a little bit flattered and embarrassed
As the bond between them grew, so did the romance. They had started going out, but the surprise was the first kiss.
"What a beautiful sunset," commented Claudia "I didn't think it was so radiant"
"The radiance would never compare to your own," muttered Matthew sweetly
The two of them held each other and their eyes locked. An urge wavered through Claudia's body as she closed her eyes andthe kiss came. That one kiss made sparks fly in the relationship, and made the two fall even more deeply in love. They were more then two people who have nothing in common getting together to catch a movie, instead they were like two snowflakes dancing in the gentle breeze, or puzzle pieces that can only be whole with one another..
"Okay then the moment will have to end now I guess," sighed Matthew
Milley watched devilishly as the two got up from the bench and headed toward the bunk houses. She had kidnapped everyone, including Rachel, but she had to tie Rachel to a tree in the woods. Whitney borrowed her dad's Magnum and had taken Monique, John, Rebecca, Brian and Nate; Matthew was next on the list. Little did they know Rachel was working vigorously to untie herself. Matthew was almost asleep when he heard a CRASH in his room. He rose his head, terrified, he bolted up as he broke into a cold sweat.
"W-W-Who's there?" he asked in barely a whisper as he heard tip toes heading his way.
"Matthew," the voice rasped "You gotta get outta here"
"What?"
"Listen to me, you and Claudia will be separated permanently !"
Matthew would not let that happen so he followed the person's every command as they got into a canoe and rowed down the creek to Paradise Lake and soon Matthew found out who it was..... it was..... Rachel.
Meanwhile Claudia had heard the crash in Matthew's cabin and she was over there to investigate. Claudia had one of the keys to the cabin as she quietly unlocked the door. Then she switched on the light which revealed Matthew's glasses and.... not Matthew.... but Milley !
"What are you doing here?" Milley rasped
"The question is what are you doing here?" requested Claudia "I came to check on my boyfriend"
"Looks like I have to get rid of you," sneered Milley as she grabbed Matthew's bed lamp and flung it at Claudia but it missed
Claudia, who had just dodged the lamp grabbed a rope and tried to trap Milley, but Milley grabbed it and yanked it so it backfired, so Claudia got tangled in the rope.
“What are you going to do to me?” demanded Claudia
“Something that was coming to you,” screeched Milley
Milley looked at her with craziness in her eye as she knocked Claudia out. Milley brought her to Paradise Lake and placed her in a wagon. Claudia woke up to see 5 of her friends looking at her and desperately searching for answers to questions which were unanswerable. Then came a glimpse of hope when she didn't see Matthew or Rachel. The hope, she knew would come in handy. Milley still had the evil look in her eye as she nudged the wagon which went tumbling down the hill and hit the water which made it sink. Even under the water Claudia could still hear the crazy and uncontrollable laughter of Milley. Claudia tried to unwrap herself but without air she got weaker and weaker. Suddenly at the last moment Claudia thought she had to live she felt strong arms pull her up and above the water. Soon her weakness melted away as she opened her eyes and saw the fantasy that she once thought was a dream.... it was Matthew. Milley looked helplessly as Whitney ran away and took the gun with her. The sneakily, Rachel ran up to her and wrestled her to the ground. Claudia untied herself and tied Milley up. Milley then was taken to a Children's Mental Hospital and would probably stay there for a long time. Claudia and Matthew kept their bond as strongly as ever.
"Y'know how you saved me," said Claudia "Did you know that was me?"
"No; butI had an impulse to jump in and risk it," replied Matthew "It was a call of courage"
Micki chuckled as the two of them walked off into the sunrise and to their bunks.
#fanfic ask game but with an cringe answer#i'm only a little embarrassed#we all grow. proof of that is in this original fic#names do not reflect real people#apparently even at 13 i was all about the pseuds#i did used to ride a haflinger

Earlier this month, Microsoft’s annual Ignite conference began with a land acknowledgment so bewildering to viewers that it went briefly viral. But it was not abnormal among statements of this sort. The emcee acknowledged that the company’s headquarters, one square mile of land outside Seattle, was “occupied by the Sammamish, Duwamish, Snoqualmie, Suquamish, Muckleshoot, Snohomish, Tulalip, and other coast Salish people... since time immemorial.” She noted that the tribes are “still there” but offered no connection between the past and today. Few if any of the baffled viewers would deny the historic presence of these peoples amid the sacred groves that later produced PowerPoint and Clippy, the Microsoft Word mascot. But in the absence of context, the effect of this parade of names was to suggest that for thousands of years the Indigenous peoples were crammed onto the Microsoft campus uncomfortably like canned salmon, doing who knows what, until Bill Gates arrived in the late 20th century to turn them into programmers.
Maybe it is a victory for Indigeneity to have the name Muckleshoot even mentioned at a Microsoft conference. By far the most common defense of land acknowledgments is that they harm no one, and they educate Americans about a hidden history that took place literally where they stand. Do they not at least do that?
No, not even a little. It is difficult to exaggerate the superficiality of these statements. What do members of the acknowledged group hold sacred? What makes them unique and identifies them to one another? Who are they, where did they come from, and where are they going? The evasion of these fundamental questions is typical. The speaker demonstrates no knowledge of the people whose names he reads carefully off the sheet of paper. Nor does he make any but the most general connection between the event and those people, other than an ancient one, not too different from the speaker’s relationship with the local geology or flora.
— ‘Land Acknowledgments’ Are Just Moral Exhibitionism

Games that use Magica Voxel
Crossy road: The objective of Crossy Road is to move a character through an endless path of static and moving obstacles as far as possible without dying. By default, the character is a chicken that must cross a series of busy roads, rivers, and active train tracks, but there are hundreds of other characters, and depending on the character the environment around also changes, with the obstacles varying. For example, when playing as the Astronaut, the environment is space and obstacles include asteroids.
Initially the developers planned to spend only six weeks developing the game, but afterwards realized the game's potential and dedicated another six weeks to completing it. The game's free-to-play model was based on the one for Dota 2.
Minecraft: Minecraft is a sandbox game developed by Mojang Studios. The game was created by Markus "Notch" Persson in the Java programming language. Following several early private testing versions, it was first made public in May 2009 before being fully released in November 2011, with Notch stepping down and Jens "Jeb" Bergensten taking over development. Minecraft is the best-selling video game of all time, with over 238 million copies sold and nearly 140 million monthly active players as of 2021, and has been ported to several platforms.
In Minecraft, players explore a blocky, procedurally generated 3D world with virtually infinite terrain and may discover and extract raw materials, craft tools and items, and build structures, earthworks, and simple machines. Depending on their chosen game mode, players can fight hostile mobs, as well as cooperate with or compete against other players in the same world
Atlas: The game revolves around the character of Atlas, a blue creature that some day woke up on a beach, demonstrating strange earth bending abilities and then goes on a quest to understand who he is and what happened to his kind by trying to reach the top of a mountain. During a run, the player can buy various weapons using the money gained by killing monsters or found in the environment to facilitate his progression to the top of the mountain.
The weapons you use to fight the monsters also do make the ground move, every weapon has its own pattern and power, some weapons are better suited to damage the enemies while some are better at pushing them so you can really choose your favourite play style.
Skies of the past: In Skies of the Past, you begin your journey on a mysterious floating island. You are completely surrounded by the ruins of an ancient civilisation that time forgot. You must explore the vast world to discover clues to find out why you’re here, and what happened to inhabitants of the land.
You will encounter many curious things, as well as useful things, like a hot-air balloon, or even a chill plane to cruise around the tranquil environment. Take the time to explore deep into a cave and reveal its hidden secrets. The developer also put a focus on making sure that the music perfectly matched the experience, as the soft piano music and the sounds of wind and rain complement your journey.
Fugl: In Fugl you experience the serenity of soaring through the air as a morphing bird. Create your own experience, with no time constraints or set goals. Discover and observe hundreds of unique animals (including mythical creatures) whose features your shape shifting bird can absorb.
The game has no objectives which allows the player to do whatever they want with the shape shifting bird. Many reviews praise this saying the also get to enjoy the landscape as there is no story to distract you.
The Touryst: The Touryst is an action-adventure puzzle game developed and published by Shin'en Multimedia. It was announced during Nintendo's Indie World stream on August 19, 2019 and was released on November 21, 2019 for Nintendo Switch and July 30, 2020 for Xbox One and Microsoft Windows. An enhanced version of the game released for Xbox Series X/S as a launch title on November 10, 2020. The art style is blocky and makes use of voxel art techniques. The game uses a custom engine developed by Shin'en, which allows the game to deliver high-fidelity graphical effects while still maintaining a smooth frame rate.

New features of the game were added to the new nations, for instance the Lakota, which is unable to build farms to generate food, instead receive a constant food supply for each of their citizens, scout, and cavalry units. New Wonders were made available for building, such as the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Forbidden City, and the Red Fort. Two Asian nations: the Indians, and the Persians were introduced. Three North American nations were added, the Americans, referring to the ex-colonial civilization, and two Native American nations are added, which are the Lakota and the Iroquois. The 'New World' situation playable in the game is enhanced by the introduction of the European nation-of the Dutch.

Up to eight players can play in multiplayer matches, with artificial intelligence being able to fill slots at the server host's choice. However, Thrones and Patriots has campaigns which offer more turn-based strategy features than the original and the ability to make decisions outside of combat.

It adds six nations, 4 new conquer-the-world modes, and the " Patriot" special general unit and the senate building. Thrones and Patriots expanded on a variety of features in the original game, such as new monuments (called " Wonders"), nations, governments, and campaigns.
