It’s time to re-discover your discovery phase with the fourth collab by The Crypt O’ Club! Experience growing pains in style as you hang out in your favorite store at the mall or skate your heart out. We got checkers, stripes and more for all your teens to sport this season! From new trends to old classics, your teenage dreams will be brought back to life with the help of all our talented creators!
Happy Simblreen!
With the release of Highschool Years earlier this year, we thought it would be fitting to choose this theme for our collab this year. With a whopping 46 items and 2 lots, we are excited to finally release this after working on it for months. Thank you again to everyone who stopped by during Simblreen and we hope everyone enjoys the full release
Under the cut will be the download links, as well as, all special acknowledgements and credits.
The Crypt O’ Club discord server is ready to present our theme for this year’s Simblreen collab: ANGSTY ADOLESCENCE!
We are excited to be participating as a sever for the third year in a row and, as always, we got a lot of cool things prepared for you guys. We have lot of BB and CAS items ready, with more on the way, that will transport you back to your MySpace days, for better or for worse.
For many creators, it can be hard to balance between manning your inbox and sending trick-or-treats to your favorite blogs. By participating in this collab, that responsibility will be divided among volunteers which will not only allow us to keep the porchlight on for all timezones, but also gives everyone a chance to trick-or-treat for themselves!
If you are a maxis match cc creator and would like to join in on the fun or maybe you just want to join a super awesome server with tons of amazing alternative simmers, you still have time to join us! Just send an ask to @the-crypt-o-club and you will be one of us in no time!
The pack will be available in pieces throughout both Simblreen Weekends and then released in full after the event is over!
I opened my game yesterday and I closed it 10 minutes later 🤡. I’m thinking of deleting a lot of my CC and revamping it. I haven’t downloaded cc in months and there is so much cool shit out now.
High key miss making edits but I’m not feeling very inspired. The cc in my game not really getting me into it
A friend of mine asked if I would be willing to make a new version of my rosary cc from the Creepy Creations collab over at @the-crypt-o-club, one without a cross or ankh! The idea was so cute that I just had to make an mesh edit of my original piece. I hope you guys enjoy it!
All items are basegame compatible and do not require the original mesh. They come in the same 21 swatches as the original. There are three versions of the necklace, one just as a plain necklace and two as accessories found in hats and bracelets. There are masculine and feminine versions included in each package.
The download link and further information for this item can be found here.
As someone who has personally had to take those calls, they do matter. It just doesn’t matter what you say in the call: the only way your calls actually reach the politician is a tally sheet of each call received on different topics. End of the day/week, the politician gets told “you had X many calls about people wanting you to do this, Y many calls about people wanting you to do this, etc.”
Individual calls matter little, but if they get tons of calls on one topic then they take it seriously. The example above was probably during a time where the office was flooded with so many calls at once that they took the phones off the hook, which actually means that calls are working especially well. When the phones are blowing up, everyone in the office notices.
The best call to your representative does not involve you making an impassioned and well-argued case, because you’re probably talking to an intern. The most effective call you can make takes 15 seconds: “I am from [place in your district] and I am very pissed about [topic].”
OI. PEOPLE IN THE THREAD. CAN WE REBLOG THIS VERSION PLEASE. DON’T STOP MAKING CALLS.
But also as another person further up says, don’t let your activism start and stop with phone calls either.
[small, tentative voice] I… think it’s good actually? If people come back here from Twitter? And new people show up? Maybe it’s awesome that more people want to be gremlins again? And… maybe more people will pay money to keep the hellsite going?
Maybe don’t be dicks about it? Let people come in, and give them a little raccoon mask and teach them how to have grubby little raccoon paws.
Except for the brands. We will absolutely play hopscotch in their chest cavities.
Awright. So, I don’t pull the “I’m old and I’ve seen shit so shut up and listen” card very often, but…
[text from Twitter user evacide: “Some of you have never had your home on the internet crumble beneath you like chalk, and it shows.”]
You will realize that there are people you only know in a online space, and you will realize it when that space goes dark. You won’t know the size and shape of space it takes up in your head and heart until it vanishes. Those little interactions on a daily, weekly, monthly, or even occasional basis mean nothing until they’re gone, and suddenly there’s a weird fucking hollow space when an icon on the other end of a screen just isn’t there anymore - and not just one, but multitudes are gone.
You won’t understand how you’re mourning just a silly website, until you realize the way your day or week flowed around it like water around a boulder in a stream. Is it better or worse? That’s not the question - how different is it? And how does that difference feel?
The first time a BBS I dialed into went dark, I realized there were people I enjoyed talking with that I would never chat with again. It’s like they fell off the earth. “Were they friends” is not the question - suddenly there was a thunderclap of silence because people who had been there were suddenly gone, and I knew I would never ever talk with them again.
It’s just a stupid hellsite until you realize it’s all people. And you’re a human animal who is hardwired to notice the absence of other humans. Capitalism foundationally sucks, but it is the foundation. Good or bad, right or wrong, money goes in and hellsite comes out. If money stops, hellsite goes away. You’re looking at one of the last big bastions of old-school weirdness out there. They’re not offering participatory monetization like ad-free and blaze to get rich, they’re doing it to keep the lights on.
Some of you have never suddenly lost a social network, and it really shows.
THIS. i’ve made a couple of jokes here and there, but i’ve lost usenet and livejournal and people from both of those i’ll never find again. it sucks. it completely fucking sucks.
