ay mates lelkins here. today's my 100th post (or 101st, depends. lemmy's a little funky) and also today is cake. i used to just tell people on their account creation day "happy cake!" so uhh... happy cake, lelkins??? also happy holidays to you all!

i wanted to make a bit out of this but didn't feel like it. the reason why i wanna make an unnamed foss game thing post as my 100th post is because i came here purely because of foss games. someone from gzd matrix made a post based on a small list i have made, my first ever comment was on there lol

so runescape. i said it in the title... that's also a reference to a silly flash animation that is very loud. also the thumbnail came from a machinima of the same flash animation made in runescape itself

i know people love runescape, but to be honest, i never played it.

the only mmo i did play as a kid was metin 2, romanians fucking love that game, but i gave up due to time lol. i was introduced to it by a neighbor who broke many computer pointer devices (i mean mice) just playing it. all i can remember is that i started during christmas, and had to bring santa claus boiled wine by killing random amounts of wolves. i got bored of it. that or i didn't want to destroy my left click button

i know regular runescape (known as runescape 3) and oldschool runescape (got a new update. again, never played it. i have no money for games lol) are still around, but there are some versions that are officially gone, which is what i was interested in.

talking about runescape 2 (osrs doesn't count. i am talking about the runescape from 2008 to 2009) and runescape classic.

runescape classic

runescape classic is that one with the funny 2d graphics. that's it. it had a captcha system in-game that stops you from playing because you are tired or something.

it used to be hosted officially time and time again, but then stopped in 2018 because bots or "we can't use modern tech to support this ancient piece of shit" or whatever. also f2p users had to pay to keep their stuff which sucks. have a picture of the official last days of rsc. 6 August 2018 at 10:06:23 AM GMT, according to the wiki.

since its closure, their social media drops rsc screenshots every now and then, just to go like "hey guys remember this? good times were had, i'm pooped. give us money"

so what did the community do? openrsc, of course!

you can play in the browser like the olden times, but there are also ports on the 3ds, on the wii and god knows what else.

i don't feel like making an account now, but i appreciate their work keeping a classic going for historical purposes. so what i did was COMPILE THE FUCKING CORE GAME AND RAN A SINGLEPLAYER VERSION OF IT.

it basically makes me host a server lol. so i am the only guy in that game just because i didn't feel like meeting like 17 people just for this post. i am sorry.

i have a few screenshots of the tutorial section cause that's all i'll play of this just for demonstration purposes

here is me talking to the combat instructor

we know that i'm the only guy, so automatically i am the richest guy in this picture

there's also a captcha system like the original rsc.

this was the main line of defense for jagex to circumvent botting. macros were circumvented by kicking players that stood in one tile for too long

rsc was the first BIG multi-user-dungeon game, really influential. watch me kill a man, watch me kill a man. that's also a reference.

this may look shit but wait till we get to the next one

runescape 2-ish-like... i mean 2009 runescape

yea you can play oldschool runescape, but it's not like how you remember it. so thanks to a project known as 2009scape, also made for archival of an old, forgotten runescape from 2009, you can play a more accurate game compared to the original "oldschool" thing! at least according to a retired staff member stating in the 2009scape forums that osrs has multiple nerfs and changes to the point of being a completely different game compared to the old runescape from 2008

i was told it's more like runescape 3 than oldschool runescape, so try it out. fully free, too!

again, this has a singleplayer experience built in to the "saradomin launcher", named after a god in the rs lore. it has server-side bots to not feel lonely.

i made my guy and he looks like a cross between albert einstein and the one guy from league of legend (i also never played that game. i saw one of my neighbors get angry at the game. he played as a knight and he spammed "shut up" because the other guy sent death threats and shit. average league of legend action.

both openrsc and 2009scape use cached copies of stuff from old machines that used to run those games. openrc is almost fully finished, with an almost 98% authentic replica claim and a few servers to choose from. 2009scape, however, has almost half the quests, a few new items such as the ring of the star sprite (a rare craftable drop from mining stars) along with placeholders to make items like tiered pickaxes and items from the fist of guthix thing obtainable. also 5x experience multipliers! like your middle of the road private server!

there's obviously more customization (i love character creators) and it feels better because of course it does, it's an updated version lmfao

i tried to make one of my ocs in this to demonstrate. yes.

there are also plugins for better audio, quality of life stuff and even xp bubbles that show your progress.

i am just writing this shit in advance so that's why it sounds weird and maybehaps looks weird

why are you even trying, lelkins?! why make these stupid posts?

good question, lelkins. also don't dare call them stupid lmfao

i used to see videos about games like runescape, club penguin and i always wondered how it'd be if i played those. what life i'd have with such experiences. romanian economy is still very bad, most people play free games like those flash games on the internets, and "free" games like pirated copies of cs 1.6 and minecraft at the time!

we still do that, even if the internet shows people have switches and shit. i live in a family where games are a waste of money because those don't get in your belly or cover your body or heat up your rooms. like i get it, no joke. i pirate stuff out of necessity, i need money to live and my country has harder times to get games in a very accessible price and manner.

steam is usable, yes, but games are in euros. a 60 dollar game means an average grocery store session. oh wait, games are now more expensive. fuck you nintendo i am not going to pay 100 dollars bUT BRING BACK YEAR OF LUIGI MAKE IT CENTURY OF LUIGI, GO BANKRUPT FOR MY MAN LOOG

anyhow. i mentioned in my first ever foss post, i like foss stuff because they'll be playable as long as they are maintained, and these two games are notable examples of this. those versions of runescape are abandoned in favor of osrs and rs3, and so the devs behind openrsc and 2009scape are doing the dirty work instead to preserve these versions for future people.

both of these versions are historical, since rsc started the genre as a whole, and runescape in 2009 was a shift between older runescape and the modern day version that changed the combat system drastically, causing big controversies and shit

because i was never able to get memberships or anything, i never had the experience of runescape. did i lose anything? dunno, the game is pretty fun tbh. i don't see myself play runescape classic, but it was influential enough to start a genre of video games that connected people from all over the world. 2009scape seems more fun. feel free to try them out. funnily enough, both can be played in singleplayer. feel like someone trapped in the old times while everyone moved to the future or something. it's fun eitherway. oh, here's them links too:

foss sweep, everybody. happy cake once again

this is that mage girl oc i drew a few months ago. her name is meldora and i have the drawings posted some time ago on hexbear cause i forgot to put it on lemmygrad lol. i hope the webm worked. had to compress it so hard because of lemmygrad's file size limit of about 1mb or less, i can't even tell exactly because this is 821.7kbs. this shows that i can use it for vtuber-ing, but i do not have the proper stuff for it lol

this was first made in one week. drawing took two days, the other days were for rigging. i was sick at work at the time so i felt like making that. i do not plan to stream or anything because of privacy and shit but i do edit some bangers for my friends

software used: krita for the drawing, inochi2d for the rigging. i used openseeface to track my face but it's not really good due to my very bad webcam. kinda chugs my rig too.

hair physics were added too. also tongue and like two emotes

here are some screenshots of a few facial expressions

that is the big post i wanted to make. thank you lmao

ay mates lelkins here

today i forgot to post what i actually wanted, so here's another thing i wanted to post. this kinda counts as art but eh

EDIT: i forgot to mention, i use a modpack for this https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=RSLuGK0yHrw it adds optifine, a few extra things and even some tweaks for some annoying stuff. pretty good, can't play without it

i've been playing minecrap for many months, this is my world that i made back in the last few months of uni iirc? i forgot. it's almost a year old too. a few cool builds.

here's the temple of amy along with the recently made lelkins statue. yes, the amy build is based on the "temple of notch" thing from fvdisco. if you wanna know who amy is, she's one of my ocs (look at this post)

i have discovered a few redstone things like sethbling's random pulse generator and a rendition of etho's daylight sensor and i incorporated it to this build. ooh, and i added my favorite optical illusion too.

those things make amy blink and even sleep and i find it really really cool (had to wait for her to wake up just to take this picture. say hi!)

i have a beach-like zone location with a donut shop that was based on a childhood one i used to go to

meldora's residence (based on a 1.20 base i made a few months ago) along with a factory that generates sand and gravel. yes, another one of my ocs.

as you can see, i have a small railway because you can only walk in this version, pretty cool for all the train fans out there

a small shot of one of the references in the "reference desert" where i built the sonic 3 angel island, the aether portal, a recreation of the first ever mario pixel art documented in the history of minecraft and two shitty little memes.

the CREATOR MUSHROOM has cursed us with VILLAGE MUSHROOM. i recreated some of it, who forgets iconic characters such as OLDFATHER MUSHROOM, GARDENER MUSHROOM and TINKER MUSHROOM? i kinda do!

rate limit is fucking me over so i can't send more than a few images in a few minutes. just wait a little bit cause i have so much to show... like this bar i made!

or an island dedicated to a reference to weird al, which also has a fish ship!

(the island is named after a vinesauce joel reference)

i am so sorry that the experience is not good i really wish i can show everything but i still hope you all enjoyed this :D

ay mates, lelkins here. i am about to start work so i gotta say some shit. also the drawing is relevant, my leg hurt when i drew this. kinda old-ish

i couldn't write anything in the chapotraphouse megathread because lemmygrad cannot connect to that comm, i contacted one of the admins but nothing as of now. we had issues with image posting but that seems to be fixed thankfully

yea, i think i should be back. my good friend from here, cerealkiller, made a few comics based on the pretty dead doorkey saga and i find them really charming to the point of making one of my own

i think the ai scraping is gone (just kidding, i think it's still here) but knowing that something something "ai bubble" something something "it will burst", i still feel like i don't have people to show stuff. hell, the reason why i am here is because i can't do stuff in chapotraphouse. i hope you all understand

so right now i am roughly the same. just really depressed or whatever. i have a few drawings i have made that i can't wait to show... but not now. maybe in one of my free days, i suppose.

(original series by u/cerealkiller. yea fuck it i am back, wont post much due to work, also lemmygrad has some federation issues currently. don't worry, cerealkiller told me to post this!)

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: this is now a real installment for the beancomics series by cerealkiller

ay mates lelkins here. today i am fucking retiring from posting

it has been a great pleasure being with you all. or "it's been nice gnawing you".

now with the news that lemmygrad, along with other instances (notably you all from hexbear, where i am known on) are scraped for ai training, i call it quits. there are ways to talk to me, more or less in the genzedong matrix server. i am notorious there like how i am the notorious LEK here.

maybe my low resolution art is scraped too. i am not sure if ai would know what to do with it but still.

i do not know if it's possible to use anubis in here or if it's just going to be circumvented through the lemmy bot api anyway.

i cannot afford stuff like nightshade or glaze or whatever machinery people like lavendertowne use because i have really bad gpus and especially linux (nightshade does not support linux), and even if it's possible to use wine in that case, i am not knowledgeable with computer, i only worked with them for a short distance ha ha funnie LAUGH

it's a fucking shame. MINE place being scraped to just make computer act like a goofball like i. not cool. could've asked me first. but noooo, mister pinter facebook is always going like "fuck you lelkins".

AND EVEN IF YOU ASKED ME, I'LL STILL SAY NO. ALRIGHT? thank you for your patience.

could ask a friend of mine to set up a sort of blog where i can post random shit i can think of for you all to still enjoy but i do not want to bother them for something i'd drop in 3 minutes or whatever.

i had big plans but stuff like image limits (you have seen the oc post. couldn't put 5 images without constant editing and hiccups), the fact that i cannot send videos (for good reason ofc, very intensive), those could be circumvented with "make a large image with all the art together" like how i did with one of my art posts and "use a third party video place" like how i did with the gifs on my unnamed foss game thing on assaultcube reloaded (acr).

goodbye, hexbear. i'll see you all on the other side. this account won't be deleted, but instead it'll stay dormant because i don't feel like deleting shit and also because i genuinely do not know what to do anymore. still at work btw.

if you draw, feel free to draw me fanart. i am always happy seeing stuff like that

yes i like the joje, i drew dio once in the style of those christian sonic drawings. 2022. i can't draw people much

couldn't watch past chef tony from part 4, i kept rewatching the same episode over and over and over. i also liked reading the duwang version of part 4, that joel video of duwang made me want to look at jojo stuff

imo this shows that ai art sucks but the solution he gave ("laws lol") kinda don't work at the moment under capitalism anyway. also that's a lib take and i am REALLY sorry for not saying that lmfao. straight up ass

ai image generator companies actually make the end user pay for their attorneys and shit back when disney sued them for being able to generate homer simpson with three eyes or some shit

according to paragraph 10 of midjourney tos, they'll come to your house and take your money for attorneys and shit and the only source i can use is a weird possibly computer generated website and i do not trust myself about it, i read their tos using ctrl+f and writing "attorney" and it mentions attorney fines and shit so yea it checks out

sorry i forgot to change the url

heres me being all cozy :3c

sorry! i tripped on some buttons lololol

edit: i fixed the image, now you all can see me first :)

‎

bit is over now! amy (the girl from the image and also from the other post, and also the one from the megathread image that started this all) is not a child and this was a reason for me to act silly instead of acting like my usual spiel. thank you all for participating!

pfff

work farter not smarter. bail out. slack off.

imagine a business man farting, that's the joke. he works farter instead of smarter. there are some stock images online but i can't send any sorry
