Haha, it's NetHack, so an Extremely Acquired Taste, but if you too like roguelikes dating back to 1987 with complicated keyboard controls where everything can kill you in convoluted ways, it's free to download!

(Please don't get your hopes up too high, NetHack requester, if you go here, I used to play this game all the time in the early 2000s but am discovering the learning curve to re-master it is... steep.)

I'm enjoying it now I've mostly remembered what all the keys do and only occasionally die from such causes as eating too much, falling down stairs, zapping myself with the rebound from my own wand of lightning and accidentally summoning water demons by drinking from fountains.

Anyone else completely unable to work on their gift since November 5

Thinking of defaulting. Everything feels like too much right now. I’m having a real hard time sleeping.

(Anonymous) 2024-11-09 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, technically, yes, but that wasn't honestly all that much different from before November the 5th, either.

(Anonymous) 2024-11-09 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, same.

(Anonymous) 2024-11-09 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
If you're going to default, I say default now. First, this gives pinch hitters as long as possible to write a fic. Second, this gives you as long as possible to relax into not having to do yuletide to the point where you may again feel like doing yuletide, at which point you can write treats, or even your original assignment.

Between that and being sick, yeah. Not having a good time of it right now.

omegaverse and kidfic. There is a possibility someone might see my likes and do the right omegaverse for me though. With kidfic there's just nothing in it for me.

(Anonymous) 2024-11-10 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
It barely happened. Can nobody afford fireworks?

(Anonymous) 2024-11-10 01:31 am (UTC)(link)

(Anonymous) 2024-11-10 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
how can there be homophobia in britains if the Guy Fucks

(Anonymous) 2024-11-10 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
My neighbours keep letting off fireworks when it's barely gloomy let alone dark, sometimes even in light rain, and I'm so baffled by this choice. I mean, sure! Thanks for setting them off when it might be easier to find a scared pet and when there's less fire risk... maybe? But also why?

(Anonymous) 2024-11-10 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
guy fucks couldn't get it up. he's famous for having no bang.

It's been every night this week round my way. And at different times of night, every time I just get the parrots I'm fostering calmed down another set kicks off.

Underage. Though the fic did not actually specify the age of the minor-in-story OC who did not have anything resembling sex, so I got all worked up about reading the fic for no reason. I’ve added the DNW since. I will say that the recent discussion on the AO3 news post makes me think the author may have just misunderstood what the tag is for.
