It's just jar-jar. Go back and watch the movie and the other gungans are nowhere near as bad as jar-jar is. They have some similar speech patterns, but more or less talk like Jamaicans and act like normal people. I think jar-jar was canonically the village idiot/retard.

You only realize how much of a niche your interests are when the only piece of interactive media that caters to it is a mediocre RPG that has been abandoned for years, and despite that people still talk to about it.
>>
>>9199722
We live in grim times eh?

But yeah, it's depressing that it got abandoned, granted, sure the RPG gameplay-wise was mediocre as ass no doubt there but the character alien-like appearances made up for it, but that's all it really got and I kind of wish folk just move on, it's dead jim

And maybe one day someone will make another game with similar alien characters to replace it with, but at this rate, I don't think that's going to happen any time soon

I didn't even care for the alien sex I thought the world was genuinely interesting. I was surprised how much initial depth and worldbuilding there was and wanted more, a lot more. It'd be really cool to explore that entire map taking in the exotic alien sights, find new alien cultures that were home grown there or were snatched away from their home dimension as well, and even turning John from a basic normie into a wondering ronin warrior. Pic related is from a short story MD made about two humans named alex from seperate dimensions in two entire different points of time taken from their homeworld just like we were. that'd be so cool to find other humans out there from other earth dimensions that have their own subtle history changes that differ from our timeline or are completely alternate realities that doesn't even resemble Earth anymore.

Yeah, the majority being pornbrain fried that can't see the forest for the trees is expected, it's such a shame to see this cool alien world be so horribly neglected, so much potential just utterly wasted. I would have preferred if this were just made as an actual game over the porn. It's like an unexpected super mixture of oddworld, kensho and ark survival evolved all rolled together and I love it, I want more of it but I can't get any more because the creator is a schizo lazy nigger.

I remember trying to beat this on our family's ancient CRT PC with my brother when we were kids. It was laggy and we'd always get stuck past the point where you cut the seaweed (and needed to deliver it to someone? or maybe it was to clear a path?)
I regret never beating it. I wonder if there's a playthrough of it on youtube...
>>
>>9200155
Actually, after watching a good bit of a playthrough of it so far, I don't recall any of this. Maybe I'm remembering a different bionicle flash game? Then again, it could be that I'm just misremembering the part where you needed to find the gear beneath the waves and confusing that with seaweed...
I never really followed the lore, I was too young, and then I lost interest before I could become entrenched in the culture

Here's Chapter 37 of The Howler!
>https://archiveofourown.org/works/61103611/chapters/224924106

Sorry for the long break. It was a combination of being busy and that this chapter was kind of hard for me to write. I kept thinking about it and redoing it, and the emotional tone felt really hard to get right, but I've finally broken through. Hopefully it all works, because it's a pretty important moment! I don't know if I'm a weenie, but getting myself into the mindset to write some of Eigen's parts actually makes me all misty eyed. I'm trying to keep the Wardens as the funny little childish fantasy, but when you look underneath it, it's just really depressing. At least he has his favorite bug with him.
We're not quite in the final stretch, but it's coming up.

Hard to say! I've got most of the story set in stone from this point on, but I might get a little lost in the epilogues and touchy feelies if people won't mind that. I think, maybe 10?

I think even Earth would struggle with that one
>>
>>
>>9203005
>but I might get a little lost in the epilogues
please, spend as much time in the epilogue as you like. just try to tie off all the story threads without introducing too many serious new ones; i hate loose threads, on clothing and on stories.
even if it's literally just a single sentence summary of "so then this happened" because it indicates that, as a writer, you care about the story you've made. enough to think things through.
like tolkien and the silmarilion; did it need to exist? no. could it have stayed in his head? yes. is it good that we can read it and all the stories after are improved because of its existence? you better believe it is.

> maybe 10 [chapters]
neat!

> even Earth would struggle

Not yet, still working on the rest of the image-set. Kinda bouncing all around my project atm, but at least it's making me way more productive again. Gonna be working on a fun short story involving those new aliens in a sort of homage to the og predator movie, too. Other than that, I'm just trying to enjoy offline stuff.

Thats all the ones I liked (not all are top tier, but its okay if you just want to read) in his main series, but he did a number of fantasy stories, and stories from xcom/halo/mass effect. I liked some of his fantasy ones as well, but they're teeeechnically not xeno, so ill avoid posting them.

If anyone wants to remove it from the OP for now I would understand. It will likely be another month before the next update.

I do find the repetitiveness to be a downer, so I do skip a lot of formulaic text we already know and get to the new lore, hoping it's not a text dump of block exposition and dry explanation.

He'll do it every time, you can test it.
It's stupid because Snekguy doesn't even get discussed that much here. He hasn't written a sci-fi in story in over a year, he's been doing fantasy slop.
He just started a new Pinwheel story though, which I will now talk about because it pisses off the sperg.

The humans just found an alien spaceship drifting into one of their systems, and they managed to decode the language and figure out where it came from. Turns out it was a nuclear powered Orion style ship that's described as using 8 bit computers and CRTs and cryogenics. It was drifting in space for 300 years and the crew are all dead. He released a lot of artwork of the new species leading up to the book and it looks like it will have a retro futurism theme. They're now assembling a carrier group to go and check out the origin point. Very hyped for a new first contact story. Those are Snekguy's best.

Their lore is very well thought out, one of the better aquatic civilizations I've come across. I won't spoil it in case you want to read it. Discovering it all from the protagonist's point of view is where the enjoyment comes from.
>>
>>9204933
Oh aye it's something like reading the original premise after all.
My own personal gripe with it is that we open to two scavvers who are a middle-easterner muzzie who is smart and a white dude who is a retard, and then a strong smart black female and a subordinate and clueless male needs everything explained to him despite being a high-ranking glowie in the highest branch of a military power where he should have some idea of this tech from criminals using alt-methods of comms or from detective work they do.
I'm vehemently anti-alphabet people ideology and I find that he is going quite a bit more in the woke direction as it were away from the more original premise that was more HMOFA(lien) with generic white dude when he's always been a 4chan chud.
His universe is very quickly just becoming a multicultural girlboss Mass Effect-tier universe that, like ME, is just generic sci-fi with a few really excellent ideas and a lot of wasted potential because a writer was 1-dimensional on a lot of aspects and was vehemently woke.
>>
>>9205012
I'll be interested to see who the protagonist ends up being.
I don't think they've been introduced yet, because I doubt it's any of the female scientist characters or the spy. The prologue seems to just be setting up the whole mission.
I have a feeling he might do the serious protag and quippy sidekick thing again, which he did in Autumn War with Hernandez and in Dire Contingency with Reed, and that will annoy me out of the gate because it's becoming a formula. Not that I didn't like those characters, they are funny, especially Hermandez, but I don't want to see it become a crutch.
>>
>>9205025
I would just hope that it is another Brokering Trust and not another Autumn War.
Samefag sperganon is a sperg but he is right to say that Autumn War (unless another anon) was so bloody drawn out. I skipped whole fights because anything flashy action and cool was dragged out due to every unique character needing to have a spotlight and shine, and everything else was really out of place typical villain monologuing.
The russian bird was shroedingers feminist; empowered when she needs to be the strong leader, and a victim crying baby when she faces any hurt or setback, and almost erratically shifts between the two, and also monologues with the villain between flashy moves.
It just... it did not ever end. I do not want a repeat of whatever the fuck that was, and that is why diversity doesn't help because you have too many special minority characters to juggle that you want to show off and everyone becomes generic with nothing unique about them.
Also Reed being Marvel quippy annoyed the piss out of me because I hate how far Whedon has fallen since Buffy and Firefly and Snek seems to be a minime where he must have a quip every five seconds.
I really do not mean to disparage the guy, but I'm just criticising the obvious pratfalls and what seems like a gradual shift towards making his male power fantasy setting as diverse as a bowl of smarties undermines that whole deal.
I hate wasted potenial.
>>
>>9205032
Nah I get you. It's a legitimate criticism. Sperg just hates Snekguy as a person for some unknown reason, you're being critical of the writing.
I do think one of the issues is that his Patreon supporters have empowered him to be very long-winded. A lot of his earlier work is shorter I think because it needed to be, because he had to sell books at a decent clip to stay afloat. Now his Patreon has really ballooned and his supporters are totally fine with him working on one story for a year, because that's often how these online novels get written.
That just lets him be overly indulgent and shields him from having an editor telling him he needs to hurry the fuck up and stop waffling.
Not to say I want the new story to be short, but more concise, if that makes sense. More killer less filler.
My biggest issue is more that he tends to find things that work for him and then latch onto them. He does try new things and experiment to his credit but once he find something that works he never lets go of it. The serious protag and comedy support duo being an example.
I dunno if I agree with the woke stuff, but I'm not very sensitive to that kind of thing. The only protag I remember not being a white dude from the Midwest was the Chinese guy I think.

Centuries later, the details of the event become known, and an interviewer asks a question to the Fyrix interviewee:

> How was it that the Fyrix were so terrorized by someone who was so reduced in mental capacity?
"At the time, we were certain our assailant was operating with a rational mind. We acted according to that assumption, and our defeat was only made possible by fact that the ensuing chaos by Technical Sergeant Eigen Morris was not rational or guided. You can not predict an enemy who does not know their own battle plan."

> Then an old human with white hair sitting besides the Fyrix opened his mouth and spoke:
> "Basically, i was following American military doctrine... That's a military history joke. Really though, I was actually very insane at the time. I was told later I even ate someone's pet animal; they still have yet to forgive me, don't blame them for that."
"And that one whift you vomited onto. And those substations you blew up. And those arms you ripped off. And the attempted assassination of-"

Let's hope that when Eigen finally gains his senses, he doesn't simply switch from an incoherent paranoid into an coherent one.

no idea, they were mostly spur of the moment and at this point it'd probably require going back more than a year worth of threads cause i know i haven't said more than twelve words about it for this current year
as much as the other guy would like to imply i don't care that much (i'll admit i did before, and I was obnoxious for longer than i should've been, but also i was in a fucky headspace which passed). someone else brings up pinwheel and on the chance i do respond its one line; he just wants to pin any and all criticism or rejection of the setting and snek's writing one me instead of accepting that 3-4 different dudes all came to the same conclusion, just one of them was a bit more of a cunt about it

>>9205196
80% of conversations about Snekguy that happen in this general are just you arguing with people and people arguing back. There are maybe 50 regulars here, we all know who you are.

You could stop doing that and leave people alone when they bring him up once every 4 months and you'd be left with the 20% of people actually discussing his work and you'd almost never have to see it.

Look at the thread. The last quarter of it is now just you samefagging and arguing because one person said the S word and you got activated.
I know you suffer from severe autism and this is your fixation but you're only making the thread a worse place for yourself and everyone else.

Latest update from Snek wasn't bad, finally getting past the block text dumps, but this bit feels especially ChatGPT, doesn't it?
It's the sort of laymans attempt at the reddit EILI5 mechanic.
>“Pulsars are like celestial lighthouses,” the Captain explained. “They’re the cores of dead stars that spin rapidly, creating intense magnetic fields that focus narrow beams of light and send them sweeping across space, like someone shining a flashlight in the dark. Each one has its own unique pulse rate, making them easy to identify and serving as excellent reference points. Each of those points on the diagram is a nearby pulsar, and they intersect at the alien home system. The little dashes on the lines are binary numbers that can be used to determine the frequency of that specific pulsar.”

I do believe I'm largely attempting the same as Snek; a complex universe of aliens (including humans obviously) and their various adventures and interactions.
Except for me I'm adding in fantasy to the sci-fi, so it gets a lot more complicated with magical systems in the mix and the occasional other perspective as I'm more focused on the xenos and their customs/biology/etc.
Unlike Snek though, I don't want to have the equivalent to the UNSC making everything nice and easy (more or less) in the galaxy, so I have a divided universe made up of different races and factions all with their own needs, wants, and goals.
There's crime, smuggling, slavery, gang warring, political sabotage, etc. That's on top of all the weird shit that comes out of the cosmic darkness we don't know about.
Finding a starting point in it could be simple and I could go with a soldier from one of those factions, I have that draft. I also have one of a native discovering space stuff, a smuggler on a job, and one of a scientist that makes an awesome discovery. They all also involve sex because doy.
The issue is I'm fairly happy with any of them as a base point, but none have truly clicked as 'This will be the definitive thing that introduces the series', and I don't know if I'll need to write out several more drafts before I lock down what that should be.
>>
>>9207979
Just flip a coin and pick one. If it doesn't end up being a good starting point for the series, then you'll just have written a later entry.
>>
>>9207979
I'd say an initial story where the plot and premise by it's nature involves and explains a sizable chunk of the major players and situation by just playing out. To pick an example from Snek's roster, something like Firebrand where there's a political incident and every faction has if not a role to play then a general gist of what they're about. Do lesser versions of that as the first few stories, revealing less and less new things unless desperately needed for a particular plot. I've been diving into a lot of scifi from the last twenty years and there's a big issue where people don't know when to NOT add new stuff or shake up with new lore, it just diminishes the setting overall and creates disconnect with basic fiction immersion. I think Snek's about to find that out the hard way as he adds like three or four new species that'll further distance the stories from and take more screentime away from the Valbs/Jarilans/Brokers that people actually care about.
>>
>>9207999
>revealing less and less new things unless desperately needed for a particular plot
>there's a big issue where people don't know when to NOT add new stuff or shake up with new lore
I do agree, though when there's over ten species and numerous subraces that all have their own worlds with lore and customs and politics etc, you do get into a lot of all that new stuff.
I think what you mean is that people don't know how to add new stuff in a good and constructive way that expands the lore naturally through the interaction with the world rather than finding the new thing and then lore dumping.
Much like Early WoW and it's expansion packs that updated but expanded lore in an agreeable manner to fans, or Dragon Age: Origins with the fact every new thing was interesting and only gave you hints that led you on to new things you cared to pick at VS Far Cry or AC iterations where it gives you a slightly new story palette and some new toys but under the bonnet it's just the same gameplay experience without any true substance.
But yeah I get what you mean, I think. It's certainly something I struggle with so I do at least go over things a lot. Not loredumping the cool new thing you added is a bitch to do. The smuggler and soldier stories lie along those lines of including a lot of the major players as that was the intent, and the native story was a very fresh and viewer-friendly way to introduce the setting, but yeah, definitely the direction to go in.
Honestly, the action way might be best. Combo the native experience with the soldier and smuggler.

do you intend for everyone to have to read every work you produce in the order you produced them like a series? if not, then all of them should have the information required to understand and enjoy the story presented in each installment. and even if you do, having to go back to earlier books to reference stuff constantly is annoying, so it'd be smart to put refreshers in anyway.

Just stick with one premise and build from there. You can easily build the world through multiple stories.
Also, maybe as a side project, if you believe the background content of your setting is important enough for it, you could make some kind of brief introduction to the world. No stories or anything, just straight lore dumps while not caring about the integrity of any story or characters.
While not xeno related, or really a proper piece of writing, I always liked what they did with Salt and Sanctuary and "The Drowned Tome". Some guy basically just took all descriptions, dialogues and interesting bits from the game, and put it all together in a book, while adding personal notes and theories.
The final product is a fairly consistent and nifty read that encompass all the lore available for the game and let's you understand the world better, for an otherwise pretty vague and lose setting, such as S&S
>>
>>9208128
Oh aye, I think that's standard behaviour in most books. There's a good way to do that without getting formulaic.
>>9208132
See, I was thinking about having a glossary like old books would at their end for referencing stuff. I think that's a bit cut and dry but in some cases if it's presented scientifically like that it can work for the universe's supplementary information, at least laying out the factions and such.
Plenty would say it's something to reveal through showing and not telling, though a lot of the time those can sometimes end up being the same thing. It's the same pitfall as block o' text dumping with exposition so it has to be done in a clever manner so as to not overload people.
>>
>>9208140
A glossary is a good idea, but I was thinking of something more akin to maybe a wiki, like for example, 40k. You have the books for different factions, and each one has different characters.
But you could also go the wiki and read each faction or character summary.
I knows is probably pretty autistic and it would take more work to create a wiki for a setting, especially a one for a personal project, but I see it as nice oddity.
I know that big text dumps are not good for stories, but as a resource for exposing a topic outside of your main read, I think they are fine.
Again, it depends on how much you want to. It feels like you want to write a good story, but at the same time also expand the universe as much and fast as possible.

remember that wikis can die or be wrong and that things that are in the story/book can't as long as the book still exists and the author isn't retarded enough to be wrong about his own lore

It was just an example, is more like if someone did a small book that summarizes all the setting, races, politics, economy, historical events, anything of importance in the setting before dropping the actual book with story he wants to tell. The Drowned Tome book is basically what I am talking about, you can play the game and slowly piece together everything, or you could read the thing and get a feeling of the overall world of the game, but that doesn't necessary stops you from enjoying the game itself.

Have an opening crawl like A New Hope that introduces the setting and states the major players :^)

Semi-joking aside, having a glossary or opening crawl to refer to that states:
>the faction names
>a brief description of what the factions look like (the bug people, the fish people, the cultural mix people, etc.)
>what they're generally about (pirates, corporate PMC, tree-hugging space elves, etc.)
and a rough map of the setting, that will massively help out both you AND your readers. Having something to refer back to helps out a ton in terms of engagement/immersion.

I'll read stories with like half a dozen different factions, but I'll forget who's who, they'll all blend together in my brain, and I'll stop caring. Part of that is due to the fact that if I want to brush up on who's who and who's doing what, I'd have to re-read everything I just read, which is disengaging and a mental turnoff.
However, if you can easily put faces to the names and places (i.e. The Grimnorts are in like, the NorthWest arm of the galaxy, and they look like lizards, and they want to expand their territory), then they're much more memorable imo. A glossary at the start of the story can make that even more convenient.

Maybe a massive party/ diplomatic event that the main characters are somewhat taking part in?

Every major space faction is there, mingling, celebrating, could even include crime lords taking part in it for one reason or another. Gives a good reason to list the names and descriptions of the groups, why they don't like each, and they tolerate the others for this one event.

I gotta agree, while I understand the sentiment he is going for of not caring if people have a problem with it calling people who see woke everywhere "grifters" shows a huge misunderstanding of the issue. It's not grifting when you see boogeymen behind every blade of grass, that's paranoia.

you don't have to be interested in money to be a grifter in the modern age, since 'currency' can be anything: clout, influence, reputation, etc.

The point is, who are you imagining yourself as in that image? You can't fill the role of anyone in there, making you merely an observer. It's the same reason we consider black male on white female to be cuckoldry, because you cannot imagine yourself as him. Same goes for xenos, even if you pretend and say that you can.

Let me guess, they ruined black male on white female for you too? Human women x nonhuman male has always been soft cuckoldry. If you say you imagine yourself as the alien, then that would mean the object of your sexual desire is just the human woman - in which case, why would you be in this thread? So that's already off the list.
If you said you imagine yourself as the human woman, well, you already know what you'd be called.
Nonhuman male on human female is watching the object of sexual desire being fucked by something or someone that cannot represent you, you cannot feel attached, you can only "observe," - from the cuck chair.
Like think of the type of person who actually gets off to nonhuman male on human female. Really.
>>
>>9209364
NTA but nothing wrong with observation. Cuckoldry however specifically entails cheating and cuck fetish involves voluntarily allowing cheating one-sidedly (as distinct from an open relationship, swinging, etc.)

The idea that self-insertion is necessary to enjoy third-party interactions is not sensible and counter to several other fetishes. The automatic application of cuckoldry to such suggests an...unhealthy degree of possessiveness toward women in general, the sort commonly associated with so-called incels.
>>
>>9209411
I agree with this.
If I watch some content that's more /trash/-adjacent I'm not debating whether I'm getting cucked or not because, in 90% of it unless it's a melanated individual due to endless BLACKED spam by indians across the site, I'm only looking at the chick, the guy or monster or whatever becomes the vessel to fuck her, provided that it is not based in NTR.

Their method of reproduction is also really similar to Merging an Archon, which would be like using sexual intercourse to turn into the Thing. Because it is such a demanding process, the Xel’Naga, their creators, had a tool they used to ease the process. Without it, Protoss live too long and metabolise too slowly and get bogged down by their empathic hivemind, to get that reproductive drive. Without the hivemind or an alternative you get suicide/individualism cults for a race that, even at the hight of their empire, likely never broke the 10 millions .
