The Boss Killer Inside Me

"Edbobson!" - Martha screamed. "Edbobson! Quit playing videogames. You need to find a job."

"Martha. The woman who have gave birth to me", methought. What a despicable, nasty woman. She could never understand the intricacies of Balgrim Boulderrock, the Final Boss of Boulderfortress Citadel. That which we're trying to achieve here is beyond anything she can imagine.

Every time I hit it, I feel that impact, the pleasurable smashing sound of my legendary hammer, Tungstenfall, Dark Maul of the Dredging Shieldmaiden. I'm at the top of the DPS charts. I press the media player button on my keyboard to pause the beautiful voice of Aika Mitsuchiku. This is no time for that, I need to concentrate. I need to hear the voices of my guildmates. I need to coordinate. This is our 358th attempt.

The health bar is almost depleted. Half the group is dead. I hear voices. And the voices get louder, and louder. And in my head, so does the sound of all the casts of Powerful Strikes. As if in sync with the beating of my heart, the hammer sounds louder, and louder, and louder. Only 8 people remain. 6 now. 4.

And then, the sound of Tungstenfall stops.

Balgrim Boulderrock is defeated. I feel the ecstasy rushing through my body. The excitement. The adrenaline. This is what I'm here for. We're World First. It took so long. This is it, our first World First. This is what we've practiced all these years for. This is why we endured so long. This is why we're still here, while other guilds have given up. Everyone is screaming. We did it. We did it. We did it!

I can't believe it. Looking at the loot table I got the Giant Boulderrock Mount. The first and only one in the world. I couldn't help but make the joke: "Heh, this is how I roll". And it dropped the Dread Insignia of Boulderrock trinket. I feel the rush once more. I am Edbobson, the Boss Killer.



My mind becomes foggy. So, so foggy. I open my eyes, and for a brief moment I feel confused. The drink to my right is still cold. I slide my fingers through the glass, but I feel too lazy to grab it. It feels purposeless.

I hear a familiar voice - "Erika, are you okay?". I ignore her. I keep thinking "New Seed" and the screen flashes.

quote:

Seed: 1,526,798 - Rogerdrik, Rogue, 18th attempt at Edgeblade Cryptonid
Seed: 8,318,400,013 - Wilblunt, Mage, 294th attempt at Crystalfrag Demolisher

"Erika?"

quote:

Seed: 19,111,743,345 - Elizon, Marauder, 1st attempt at Bigbull the Everfrosty

She continues: "You know you can like just get raw adrenaline simulators, right? Or dopamine, or whatever it is your heart desires."
I slowly turn my head to face her. "gently caress that. I like it this way. I was born to be a boss killer. There are no games anymore. I was born in the wrong century. Okay this one seems really cool look."

"For gently caress's sake Erika..."

I go on: "22 years old, 2008, guaranteed kill on the first try of the final boss of the first patch of the expansion. Daytime job, tryout at the guild, everyone gets super impressed at your performance. I think we hit the jackpot this time."

The Shining of the Sexiest Man Alive

"Mr. Charles Chadson... you are the caretaker."


I take a closer look at the bartender. He looks like he's in his mid-forties. Hair whiter than average for a man of his age. Tall, slender, and with an antiquated mustache. Not exactly my type, but heck, I'll hit it.

"Well, Mr.... Lloyd, was it? I am, indeed, a caretaker. I take, you know..." - I approach him seductively, "very good care of the people I like. If they like me too, of course. Do you like me, Lloyd?"

He blushed. "Err no, err I mean, yes I do" - he stuttered - "I do like you Mr. Chadson, but that's not what I'm talking about. What I mean is, you have.... the Shining."


I sighed, inside my own head, but kept my poker face, and just tried to look as stoic as possible. You don't get free Vintage 1422 Le Royeu Wine every day.

"Yes, Lloyd. I know. No matter where I go, I'm irresistible. I've been told many times I shine. But you shine too, Lloyd. In your own way. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise."

His cheeks grew red by the second. "I... I'm flattered, Mr. Chadson. I mean, it is true, your shining blond beautiful hair is irresistible. The bright green of your eyes shine like emeralds. But this is not what I'm talking about. You have... the Shining."


I sigh, this time audibly. Another ghost falling in love with me. I wish I could enter a mansion without every dead soul in it telling me that I am their caretaker.

Twitter stores everything as video files to save space, especially for GIFs, so if something isn't working (I've had periods where lots of videos just don't work for a while, myself.) you can use twittervideodownloader to check them out anyhow.

I think it's mostly a chrome issue? Sometimes I've had to actually download videos to make them work.

Here's the 'old video games' one:

This is more "Post Your Least Favourite procedurally generated content" :chloe:

quote:

On the weekend of Anime Expo, an artist promised the humanly impossible—custom art commissions with a five-minute turnaround time. The not-so-hidden catch? The artist wasn't a human at all, but an AI exposed to millions of anime images.
...
The Waifu Vending Machine is our re-imagination of the traditional commission booth. Rather than dealing with communication troubles and overnight delays, the process of the Vending Machine is simple -- select the girls you like, and the booth will learn from your choices to create the character of your dreams!
...
We didn’t want to generate just any girls -- we wanted to draw everyone’s dream girl.
...
We ended up drawing inspiration from a common resident of the city buildings: the vending machine! With its towering height and theme of automation, we hoped the vending-machine design could convey our ideas with a single glance.
...
At the end of the expo, the Waifu Vending Machine sold out of all its stock, twice. It was a weekend of amazement, and despite the challenges, it's great to be able to say we pushed through and let the commission booth of the future shine.

Why do some of them look unhappy

Why do some of them look underage

Why would you put those on the homepage of your website

E: Okay so if you go into the actual system the thing that they used to isolate the characters from their GAN backgrounds occasionally shits the bed hard and you can make some hosed-up images as a result
