I've been compelled to make a full blown fediverse conversion mod for Stellaris, and I don't know what it is that's compelling me, but I will not stop until it is complete. I want as many instances represented as possible, @ me your ideas.

it begins.

this will be the highest effort shitpost of my entire fediverse career

it is slowly dawning on me that this mod will take weeks of work. maybe even months. However, I have the rest of quarantine to go, this is my job now.

Space has never been so... federated

so far I've got
- a mastodon logo for .social
-
- a snout (for snouts.online)
- the yiff.life hex
- the goat of hellsite.site
- the radtown
- pawprint for whomst.dog
- selontheweb as representative symbol of godforsaken.website
- a mate gourd for myasstodon
- an efdn.club logo

I need more symbols! @ me a symbol if your instance isn't yet represented and I'll get it in there

emojis work well for this, so if your instance has an emoji you think represents it, do @ me it

have I been given too much power? have I gone too far?

note to self: change the language file such that the "Leave Federation" button says "Defederate" instead

can't really think of any traits for mastodon.socialites besides repugnant.

I take that back. I went for Fleeting, Nomadic, and Rapid Breeders

this is too much fun

if I had a dataset of fursona names I could make a namelist

If I was REALLY talented, I could make Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit into respective endgame crisis

Reddit would be the scourge, for obvious reasons. and Twitter would be the robot uprising, because algorithm. Facebook or Google would be the interdimensional invasion.

it would be too easy to make a jamelist (jorts namelist)

no sleep. only posting.

it's been like 12 hours and I'm still going, but I need MORE. send me your emojis, send me your ideas and your huddled masses.

it may not look like it, but this is 12 hours of labor. phew.

some more eyecandy for y'all

Jlanet (Jort Planet)

alright. It's testing time.

I've got 22 instances represented so far. In total I'd like to have like, at least 50 by the end of this. But, it's time to get some gameplay done, look for some bugs.

so far witches.live is the only fanatical purifier in the galaxy

ah yes, the eternal art art of hours upon hours of bughunting and troubleshooting. This circus is the closest I'll ever get to actual hacking, so I better try to enjoy it.

I think I've found the bug

what is Stellaris but a series of text documents interwoven by code spaghetti

what if I literally replaced all of the AI personalities with various fedifolk tropes, and all of their dialogue with actual assorted mastodon posts

witches.live and playvicious.social have spawned next to each other 3 times in a row. this isn't hardcoded I swear

It breathes! It LIVES!

can we just take a moment to appreciate how epic playvicious's banner is?

it occurs to me that I really need to add some bitcoin nonsense and tech instances for it to really feel like the fediverse.

oh, it is beautiful.

alright I'm gonna take a small break from adding instances and their associated symbols to begin work on personalities and namelists

note to self: rename Influence to Clout

I'm pleased to announce that all food has been replaced with teeth, effective immediately
