no sleep. only posting.
it's been like 12 hours and I'm still going, but I need MORE. send me your emojis, send me your ideas and your huddled masses.
it may not look like it, but this is 12 hours of labor. phew.

alright. It's testing time.
I've got 22 instances represented so far. In total I'd like to have like, at least 50 by the end of this. But, it's time to get some gameplay done, look for some bugs.
so far witches.live is the only fanatical purifier in the galaxy
ah yes, the eternal art art of hours upon hours of bughunting and troubleshooting. This circus is the closest I'll ever get to actual hacking, so I better try to enjoy it.
I think I've found the bug
what is Stellaris but a series of text documents interwoven by code spaghetti
what if I literally replaced all of the AI personalities with various fedifolk tropes, and all of their dialogue with actual assorted mastodon posts
witches.live and playvicious.social have spawned next to each other 3 times in a row. this isn't hardcoded I swear
can we just take a moment to appreciate how epic playvicious's banner is?
it occurs to me that I really need to add some bitcoin nonsense and tech instances for it to really feel like the fediverse.
alright I'm gonna take a small break from adding instances and their associated symbols to begin work on personalities and namelists
note to self: rename Influence to Clout
I'm pleased to announce that all food has been replaced with teeth, effective immediately
I'm probably going to make the influence/food conversion into its own mod, and the emblems into its own mod and put them in a fediverse collection. That way people can choose to just play with a specific emblem from the fedi without necessarily also having to eat teeth
It's up!!! (Just the emblems for now, other stuff later) Go download it!

Update!! Version 1.1 of the Fediverse Emblems mod is now. It is updated for use with Stellaris 2.7, and has had several instance emblems added. Additionally, the emblems are now split up into two groups, for ease of selection.
the very INSTANT the necroids pack comes out I am making a resurrected bofa.lol empire
speaking the words out loud: "mastodon-stellaris ethics wheel" feels like casting an eldritch spell, it curls the air in an unholy way
should I change the existing ethics or just add new ones
if I add new ones, it would likely compete with less mods, however it will be far more work to figure out and do. If I'm just replacing existing ones, it'll probably be far easier.
this mod sucks, so bad
if I continue down the path of replacing the ethics wheel, only pain will await me in the days to come
see but these symbols were the easy ones
how in the world will I represent earnestposting vs shitposting
@ me your mastodon ethics dichotomy ideas
fanatical horny
@starwall horny/theory??? my original thought was theory/mysticism but several accounts i know mix those up
@ItsMorgan theory vs techy?
@starwall @ItsMorgan horny/chaste could be a different axis
@starwall @ItsMorgan discourse/comfy as a replacement for militarist/pacifist
NSFW
@esvrld @ItsMorgan @starwall I mean, if you're into enforced chastity, then horny/chaste is frustratingly the same thing.
@esvrld @ItsMorgan horny/chaste is a very good axis idea
