it would be too easy to make a jamelist (jorts namelist)
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.
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.
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
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!

does anybody have any ideas on what I should replace Energy Credits or any of the other resources with? We already have teeth as food, and clout as influence.
I was tossing around the idea of changing Energy Credits to Bitcoins
likewise we could change minerals and energy to boosts and favs? or maybe boosts and favs should be somewhere else
not to get everybody too excited or anything, but I might be working on maybe making a couple of voice advisers for the Fediverse-Stellaris project
small bug: forgot to change clout back to influence, and teeth back to food
I have options with so far as namelists are concerned. The fedi has a bad case of scrapes happening, and I definitely don't want to be actually a perpetrator of that, however gathering up EVERYBODY'S consent for their @ to be included in the fediverse mod namelist might be difficult to do.
Option 1. Create fediverse-ish feeling themed namelists that only include users who have actually consented to be included in the mod, but filling in the rest using various online username generators. For instance, a Furry namelist with fursona names pulled from name generators or fursona name databases and wikis. Other potential themes might include Bots, Shitposters and so on.
Option 2. Create just a master namelist, filled with consenting usernames with very little filler, but have it so that the first name is a random user's @ and the last name is an instance domain.
I'd like as many people taking this poll as possible so pls boost
I'd like suggestions for namelist themes as well. Furry is definitely one. Maybe Leftist as a category? What's a "leftist" username even look like anyways? Techy could be a category, I could definitely come up with some tech-mastodon usernames.
@starwall Leftist names? We've got a PosadistPrincess here on radtown, you could use that as a template, so [SURNAME]ist[NOUN/ADJECTIVE/ADVERB], like idk MarxistMuppet etc?
You probably need a memer/shitposter theme too, like SiddonMyHog and QueefTeeth or sth.
@Ephaemera @starwall
QueefTeeth oh my fucking god
@Ephaemera @anarchiv ...I need to start a github where people can just dogpile on hundreds more of these excellent contributions
@starwall at this point I'm surprised you're still nowhere near realising you might haven bitten off more than you can chew with this mod
@Ephaemera
@anarchiv @Ephaemera I will never accept that is the case, not while I still have no job at least
@anarchiv @Ephaemera also this is my first serious stellaris mod.
