->Rob: Hit Self For Giving Past Self Useless Sylladex




What? Why would it be useless? Your Future Self said specifically "Without these we are Royally Screwed". The handwriting was pretty damn clear to you, and was PERFECTLY LEGIBLE with no room for error! Your SPACE-SAVVY tells you that you are in danger of having an item of extreme importance stolen from you in the future. Why, and what that item would be, you have no idea. It could easily be a doomsday device or a briefcase full of diamond. You just don't know!













->Install Sylladex Driver





As soon as you touch the Sylladex Driver, it vanishes, and a strange feeling permeates your head, followed by a distinctly iron-like taste in your mouth.

YOU CAN NOW USE THE FREE WILL FETCH MODUS.

It's equipped with 7 captchalogue cards to begin with, although more may be added to cap of 20 cards. As was mentioned previously, there are also 2 Unallocated Strife Decks which you will need to equip with a viable weapon in order to use. This allocation is PERMANENT, so choosing what weapons to use is not something to be undertaken lightly. Though again, it may be possible to acquire more Strife Decks, so long as you have the weapons to equip it with.

SCIENCE! +1
















->Test New Tool By Captchaloguing Disks
























-> Inspect envelopes







It's a copy of the SBURB BETA! With a client AND a server disk! You are so shocked that your reaction can only be displayed with an EXTREME CLOSE UP like out of Wayne's World, also starring Mike Meyers.

Once again you thank Lady Luck for her love and care. The beta vetting procedures are supposedly very stringent, but internet rumours suggest that to even attempt to break the encryption software and pirate it has PERMANENTLY DESTROYED ALL DATA ON THE DISK AND ATTACHED DEVICES, with no regard as to what measures are taken to prevent it. One disk alone would go for tens of thousands on buyerbazaar.com. Which you'd totally do if it wasn't for that note. You know yourself so well. Maybe you're supposed to play it?

But there's a problem. Your excitement fades as you realize you DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE AMONGST YOUR FRIENDS HAS IT, and trying to pirate it yourself is a terrible idea in and of itself.


Bollocks. Well, now what?

->Chew A Hole In The Floor!

That sylladex was a pain in the ass to create. This whole thing has taken me since like lunchtime. May come back and replace the meme at the end with my own version if i get bored. Frankly, i just want to keep this moving., so just bear with the laziness.

[Mibbs]

you seem awfully willing to accept that this is from you in the future. how do you know someone isnt fucking with you? its not that hard to forge a note

[Lieutenant Fish]

>Maybe there's a suitable co-player downstairs. You should chew a hole in the floor and take a look.

Actual update later. The sheer moronitude of that first half of the command gave me the idea.

I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY NOW.

On a side note, sorry it's so big.

[Lieutenant Fish]

>How are you so sure it's stupid if you haven't tried it? Go ahead and chew a hole in the floor, I promise not to laugh or call you stupid.

[tippertot]

>Want yourself so much that you captchalogue yourself.

[Recyth]

Captchaception?


New update is being worked on, and i'm trying very hard not to get sidetracked with the making of memes here. You wonderful terrible people.

[Recyth]

->Ignore Whimsy. Advance Plot.








Well, you might as well start up your computer. It takes a couple minutes to become fully operational because of all the games and miscellaneous crap you've packed into the hard drives, which is both convenient and not. You have some time to waste until it's ready, and you give notion to the idea of getting a SNACK from the KITCHEN which is DOWNSTAIRS.

You leave the room.












=>





You are now in the rather narrow UPSTAIRS HALLWAY. To your far right is the STUDY - though it was very recently converted back into a spare bedroom, and houses some of your father's things. The signed door in the middle leads to your bedroom, and the room directly next to it is your parents', although your FATHER works away from home and only sleeps there on WEEKENDS, making it more like your MOTHER'S room. You aren't supposed to go in there, but you really don't care about that, since your parents do the same to you. On the left is the bathroom, which is very cramped but you've long since gotten used to it.

What do you do first?

->Use Bathroom

The wall in the hallway is wonky, i know. Don't want to fix it right now.

->Rob: Get some cereal as a snack








You decide to get a handful of cereal to snack on and a glass of juice. Because you are English, so soda is "pop" and besides; Who eats cereal with lemonade?

Ok, so maybe you did try that once. You know. For SCIENCE!

No more updates for tonight. The suggestion box is also closed until i finish a couple of flash thingies. Not sure how long they'll take me, nor can i vouch for their quality.

Anyway. Feedback and assistance will ever be appreciated.

RM.

>Perhaps a bowl of cereal would be better than holding cereal in your hand.

[Naristar]

((ah nuts I just started reading this and wanted to make a suggestion....oh well....I'll wait for the flash
Its good soo far!))

[Recyth]

I've put the post in the tech support thread in artbound too, but i might as well put it here as well, now that i think about it. Spoilered for being slightly spoilery, please just read if you're familiar with Flash.

Ok. So i've been using GIMP since it's free. That's not the problem. The problem, is that i'm trying to make a Strife animation, and i'm using Flash CS6 Pro ( trial version, still has all facilities ) but it won't let me edit exported images. It just automatically deletes or ignores any attempt at redrawing the sprite. I can't think of any way around it other than deleting it, editing it in GIMP then re-pasting it and hoping i get the alignment right. Which is clunky as heck and will take too long. I can edit and draw and generally dick around with anything else ( When i figured out why it would let me to begin with, which was due to colour density - alpha % - being 0 for some weird reason ), but it just slides off the pasted sprite like butter on a hot steel pan. Which means i can't properly animate the sprite's body movements.

Halp please.

[Recyth]

Please be aware that this shitty update will be rejiggered to not completely suck at some point in the future

Strife Theme for Rob

[Godo-kun]

Hey, your here too.

The flash wasn't too bad. Heck, I don't even know how to do anything in flash. Got lost real quick.

[Naristar]

Ok that was fun!
and I totaly notieced that that was his symbol already!!!
but do you know what its from?

[Recyth]

I'm familiar with the mythos of Ouroboros. A snake biting it's own tail is the symbol for eternity. Used to have a t-shirt with it on until my father burnt it on the stove by accident. I got it because i'm a fan of Red Dwarf.

And hello Godo. Yep, i'm here. Working on this because i can't get the time to work on my Nuzlocke at college, and i refuse to redraw the page at home since i don't own photoshop. >.<

Going to start drawing the next updates, then there's one last flash to end the Prologue. Which won't require me to do much coding so this one WILL work the way i want it to. I hope.

Your mother left the list of chores on your head and immediately Absconded before you could rebut her.





















==>





Damn it, she ALWAYS does stuff like that! It's downright infuriating. In any case, she's left for work at the hospital now and won't be back until late tonight. Might as well do what she wants. You take the note off of your head. Apparently she wants you to take the rubbish out and unload the dishwasher when it's finished it's cycle.


















->Retrieve Bag of Refuse







You enter the kitchen. It's not a very nice kitchen, but it has all the relevant amenities. A KETTLE, a AUTOMATED COFFEE MACHINE, a WASHING MACHINE, a DISHWASHER, a FRIDGE, a TOASTER, a MICROWAVE and an OVEN. And the bin is over there in the corner. You remove the lid from the bin and captchalogue the BAG OF SMELLY REFUSE, replacing the lid when you're done.

You'll head out to the street through the side passageway into the shed to your left.

->Selfstuck: Begin.

Suggestion box is still closed. Got a flash update coming out either later today, or first thing tomorrow. In any case, i'm going to take a video game break first then get on that. And i do plan to go back and 'fix' the Strife animation at some point because it's existence irritates me.

Oh. And this flash will have sound! Courtesy of my headset and the window next to my desk.

[Recyth]

The streets are empty of people. There is little wind, the breeze still and silent, as if holding it's breath in eager anticipation. Birds' chirping resounds through the still air and echoes off the walls of the rows of domiciles filling the space with joyous fanfare. It is a peacful and sun-kissed afternoon, with sparse few clouds drifting through the sky. It is uncharacteristic of an English spring, but it is a pleasant day nonetheless.

Today is the 13th of April, and it is not your birthday just yet. But for as long as you can remember, throughout every birthday first and since, you have felt as though something has been missing from your life despite many attempts to fill the void. It is not a tangible thing - just the want of something decidedly...More...from your life.
You yearn for a purpose.


"For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are."
-Roman 8:19



The passage popped up unexpectedly when you were looking for famous quotes one bored evening. You have never been one for religion of any sort, but you understand the sentiment and respect it.


When you came home today, it seemed like a day the same as any other. However, an empty space in your bedroom became suddenly occupied by a bright orange package, a veritable box of wonders, right before your eyes. Contained was a hastily written note torn from the cloth of mystery, hinting at this desired purpose coming to the surface of reality's churning flow. It held a note from yourself in the future, and while you don't deny the urgency or the truth of his words, you still question it, still question 'Why' he would do this.





You have a feeling that today is going to be a long day.
