for you, none; why would you sign up for more than one to begin with? this is for anyone who hasn't signed up for multiple yet-another-indie-writing platforms and is looking for a federated write freely instance to join (considering write.as is closed for registration).

registration is invite only at the moment, so please review the community guidelines then let me know if you'd like to join; i'll send you an invite link.

howdoyouspell.cool is an open community of writers who value privacy, autonomy, and creative writing – and, most importantly, we reject corporate interests and monetary incentives. We aim to be a no-pressure, polite community of writers from all walks of life, away from the ten-thousand-word user agreements of corporate-controlled platforms. If you consider yourself even the most amateur of writers, you’re welcome here. Too often, writers leave their work languishing in a folder somewhere – this community aims to change that by providing a safe space for expression without fear of ridicule or some big-word conglomerate stealing your words to power a fake-sentient SQL table.

ignore the "how" and focus on the immediate situation; what do you do?

this reeks like Keanu's unwashed hair; an exec's "great idea: what if we put the famous dude in our game, AGAIN?" because we are so thoroughly unconfident in our game's gameplay that flavor of the month/year/decade will surely make up for it.

hope this is not breaking any rules; my friend and i run a website in which we write "creative writing" essays on video games we play. we make no money on this and never plan to, it's purely passion projects, but we do put a lot of work into them. the most recent essay is comparing Metal Gear for MSX to the OJ Simpson Trial, but we also have a number of essays on:

  • Dragon Quest Monsters I (explores vegan concepts)
  • Final Fantasy Legend (origin of the SaGa series)
  • Final Fantasy Legend II (traditional analysis)
  • Final Fantasy Legend III (explores time travel)
  • Final Fantasy XII (traditional analysis)
  • Final Fantasy XVI (analysis + comparison to movie The Seventh Seal)
  • Infinite Space ("being in love with an idea)
  • Landstalker ("mood time and place" + analysis)
  • Metal Gear (comparision to OJ Simpson Trial)
  • Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When It's Dark Outside (biographical essay)
  • Popful Mail (traditional analysis)
  • Romancing SaGa (critique on the "games collector" and "retro gaming" communities, + analysis of the game)
  • Shiren the Wanderer 5 (History of the Japanese Tanuki + comparison to the game)
  • Tactics Ogre (essay on the themes of the game)
  • Xenosaga (philosophical essay with a lot of footnotes, Infinite Jest?)
  • Xenosaga II (philosophy + analysis of the game)
  • Xenosaga III (personal stories, philosophy, analysis of the game)

we also aim to create "podcast" type videos on each essay, we have done seven so far: https://youtube.com/@oncomputergames?si=5c__UWP-vCU_Bqwd
