IMPORTANT SITE REMINDERS ARE LISTED AFTER THIS RANT (so please read all of it in order to find the rules >:3)
On this mega I shall take the opportunity to rant about one of my favorite things: the Webnovel UNJUST DEPTHS!
Do you love transgenders?
Do you love communism?
Do you love queer romance?
Do you love killing fascists in a giant fucking mech?
Would a plotline with all of these things happening in a underwater retro-futuristic gundam setting intrigue you?
Especially if its actually really well written with good characters, rich worldbuilding, and a marxist leninist transfem author?
All of the answers should be: YES I DO or else I WILL BAN YOU
Since you obviously love all of those things then Unjust Depths is perfect for YOU yes YOU! It is DESTINY
The Imbrian Ocean is at a time of severe instability. The monarch of the vast Empire that spans its unjust depths (:3) is sick and nearing death, every territory of the ocean now vying to carve their own Destiny out of the chaos. From the Volk fascists , Zionists (they literally will not die why are they still here oh my god), The ‘Anarchists’ (social chauvanists) in Bosporus, and the monarchs of each vast noble domain, each vies for power and prestige no matter who they crush underfoot, but it would be a pretty depressing story without a bright light in the dark.
On the edge of the Empire sits the glorious Union! The (Soviet) Union is a socialist federation of three states (and one anarchist mountain )that were formerly slave colonies under the Imbrian Empire until they broke away in a fierce liberation war. They have spent the last 20 years since then building themselves up. Whether they be Human , Shimmi (Catgirls who usually follow a religion closely related to modern Islam), and Kattaran (a hybrid humanoid species with characteristics of sea life ranging from sharks to cuttlefish)building socialism side by side.
First lead under the revolutionary leader Dashka Kansal, then the Idealist Ahwalia who lead the country to near ruin in pursuit of building a utopia on pillars of sand, then under the scientific socialist leadership of the Grand Marshall of the Union, Bhavani Jayanskar (I love Jayanskar so much shes basically as if Stalin, Lenin, and Zhukov were rolled into the same person but was a black lesbian badass who wore the uniform REALLY WELL)(she aint the main character at all tho shes only in very few scenes i just love her so much). Under Jayanskar, the Union has been growing their economy to both eliminate hunger and give everyone a home , but also growing their military capabilities for the inevitable return of the Empire. The Union is alone, but with the people by its side nothing, not even Destiny, can snuff out true freedoms light.
As war wages between the Empire and Republic (basically underwater USA) once more over the lands between them, the facade begins to finally crack…
And a border conflict between the Empire and Union escalate, and the dreaded reconquest begins.
Amidst this turmoil, lives our main characters (yes there are multiple and all of them are lovely). Each of whom I personally love dearly, and are very well characterized. Many are soldiers of the Union, some are scientists, some are divers (mech pilots), some are lost strands finding new meaning after joining this band of Brigands
All are Communists
All serve the Union
All would gladly give their lives to defending socialism
but even they would have little inkling of the adventure set in store for them as the lands beneath the waves erupt in fire, fury, and revolt
Can these transgender badasses kick fascist ass?
Can they kiss? (oh my god please kiss ISTG THERE IS SO MUCH SHIPPING AHHHH ITS GLORIOUS)

not-nice words about Minecraft
Okay, so, at the risk of being inflammatory with this post, I am frustrated by the progression in Minecraft. I’ve played probably thousands of hours, from the beta days all the way to 1.20. Most of that time after like 1.5 has been playing modded, so may not apply directly.
These things make me want to scream:
mobGriefing
and onkeepInventory
are good tbhIDK maybe I’m just sick of the game. I enjoyed Sevtech: Ages, actually, despite all of the above. It was different enough and liked RPing the prehistoric human who had no idea why some rocks were shiny, lol, making totems, and Geolysys making mining actually scale for the amount of ore you need in modded. But I think the progression needs to be seriously altered for me to enjoy it these days, then again, I wonder what it would be like to just chill and build a hut and hang with friends in vanilla again.
Me killing a Blaze with arrows and watching the Blaze Rods fall into lava I haven’t really found the “right” way to play Minecraft yet, I tend to stick to Wii U edition on account that I have lost my mind.
damn, what do you like about the Wii U edition? I have never tried Minecraft on console, mostly because I like mods.
Mostly that I can play it on the Gamepad. The Pro controller is nice too, plus the Wii U runs cool so good in summer.
I am a console buttcraft enthusiast, I played on 360 and Vita as well. Idk just a chill vibe.
ah i see! that makes sense! I once tried to play Factorio on steam deck after hundreds of hours on kb/mouse and I couldn’t hack it, even with the console controls. I think I’d struggle to switch to controller with minecraft, but it does sound cozy on console :)
It’s awkward to aim and kb/m is def better for Minecraft, but like… chill game? I wanna chill, lemme flop on the bed. I vibe. I’m a minecraft hedonist.
Yeah I agree. Once I get over the hump of re-learning the controls I bet I’d enjoy it too. I could modpack even on the SD, I bet.
you a cehf? 'cause damn you’re cooking. there’s just some very hostile buggy game design minecraft has and istg I feel they don’t change some of this stuff because ‘that’s how it’s always been’ as if notch didn’t just pull game mechanics out of his ass 15 years ago for some of this shit. you can change stuff and make it better, let the people who will moan whenever you do anything moan
minecraft with friends objectively makes the game 100x better, even just fucking around making a base in vanilla and not trying anything crazy it’s just a lot of fun to do that with other people. problem with minecraft I have is not getting my friends to play, it’s keeping them playing for more than 1-2 days
I guess that was my first bear site hot take.
I kinda agree, honestly. There’s a charm to the janky redstone mechanics, and it can be a fun puzzle to solve. But like, I play with cheats enabled because there’s always so much BS. I skipped horses forever until Sevtech, and realized that I need to carry a fence post and lead around with me at all times or else they will go absolutely missing.
There’s some basic stuff which just baffles me every time I go back, a lot of mod packs work around it though. Like the ender pearl thing.
true, I would unfortunately be this person, I lose interest in it these days pretty quick.
