does anyone know what this

weird box thing does

looks like some sort of coding thing

but what can it do?

can you like,
actually code things?
or is it just a formatting thing for sharing code?

Dune: good!

Have you guys ever listened to a parody of a song without listening to the original, and then you hear the original and it sounds weird?

Happy Birthday Kaz!

shh it's not tomorrow

Two-sentence horror story competition at my local library. I'd like to challenge y'all. Here's mine:

A dark, frigid night spent alone.

But was it truly alone?

I just took the Meyers-Briggs (or a free internet equivalent, anyways) and found that I am an INFP-T, or a "Mediator."

I'm also reading through the description and boy is this thing accurate. Just the first two paragraphs summarizes me up near perfectly:

And then this:

And then this:

Heck, they even had a quote; and it was Tolkien!

I need a volunteer or two for my Social Anthropology project! I just need to ask you a few questions and record your replies. I'd ask that you don't look up anything to supplement your responses or think through them too much (technically this assignment should be with irl people, but because I'm an antisocial git I will instead take my Sharders).

By reading this text, you are legally* obligated to respond to this Status Update one (1) times. You must not respond to this Status Update less than one (1) times, or more than one (1) times. You must respond to this Status Update no matter when you read this, even if it is years in the future. You must respond to this Status Update even if you are not currently following me. You must respond to this Status Update even if you do not currently have a 17thshard.com account. 

You have one message. Make it a good one. 

BYU WON!!!!

FINALLY

AFTER 10 LONG YEARS

WE'VE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I wrote two very important words on the Iconar Collective doc:

I have been a member of the Shard for 3 years (and 16 days). This place has been so fun, it seems like just yesterday that I joined, but it also feels like I’ve been here forever. Without further ado: appreciations!

Mods, though none of you will read this (except Ene, who is listed separately), I would like to thank you for keeping this community one of the most inclusive, friendly, and wholesome ones I’ve seen.

@AonEne, you were one of the first (if not *the* first) Shardbuddies I had. I’m soooo glad I got to meet you this summer. I can’t really words about how much your friendship means to me. I have yet to drink from the bottle of dubious soda.

@Tesh, you’re too interesting and funny for your own good. No matter how tired I am, I will stay up to talk to you. Meeting you was awesome and it WILL happen again. Sneezing isn’t normal.

@Butt Ad Venture, I would also stay up talking to you if it weren’t for the fact that both of us would just be yelling at each other to sleep :P.

@xinoehp512, I love tLTing with you, looking at your pixel art, and just talking with you, though I don’t have much of an opportunity to do so.

@Zephrun's Imperium, your art is SOO GOOD! I still need to find a place to put the piece you gave me on my wall, and I hope I can see you in person again, you’re just so nice to talk to.

@Hen (Nna), [insert comment about our marriage here], but seriously, talking to you is so fun (and watching you freak out about aART, as well). The possibility of my meeting you is fluctuating, but you are one of the people who are at the top of my list to meet. DFTBA!

@Mist, you are awesome. You always know the best thing to say. (Unlike me, as I have run out of things to say)

Shortie (@Condensation), meeting you was fun, I could finally figure out how short you actually are.

@Vapor, I love talking to you, and I can’t wait to see you in person again.

@Emi, I haven’t been able to talk to you much, and I really miss it. I hope I can meet you this summer.

@DramaQueen, your play was AWESOME!!!!!! (As are you). I want more geck pics.

@Channelknight Fadran: your world building is really cool! (even though I still haven’t read anything of yours)

@King of The Oreo: Your art is awesome and I wish I could join more of your drawing streams.

I have run out of words, so I will give messages to people, then list those left on the list after my brain stoped languaging

@Scarletfox: WE WILL PLAY SOON

@Flying: YOU ARE SO CLOSE I WILL MEET YOU SOMEDAY

@Lecky Twig: Borsalino > Zoro 

Fritz, Truthie, KoI, Spock, Jessie, BoP, Salad, Frustie, Exp, Dark, Enter, Flaffle, Rev, and anyone I may have forgotten, I wish I had words to express how much your friendship means to me.

I love y'all.

(sorry for the double ping, formatting was atrocious on that one)

Happy birthday!

Hello everyone, its been awhile since a was here. One of the reasons it took me so long to get back on the shard was that I was intimidated by all the notification that would probably be there. But I'm not going to bother with them. So assuming there are still any active sharders here that remember me, this is just me letting y'all know that I'll try to be here more often. 

So I went on vacation.

Some other things happened, like meeting Fadran, chopping most of my hair off (again), and eating lunch in Cuba, but the thing I wanted to ask is does anyone else have Call to Adventure Stormlight? 'Cause Fadran had it, so I want to buy it so I can play both with him and with my siblings, but I think we could put together a thread of sorts with anyone who has it and play via Shard.

Two things:

1. Fellow Fellowshippers, the thread is just about ready to split up and look for clues!
2. Would anyone be interested in working on a... thing? I have this idea and I think it'd work well as a platformer video game but I have 0 experience with creating such things so help would be appreciated.

I was going to write this as a response to my original status update, but I forgot comment mechanics don't allow many lines 

Also I storming know I'm going to miss some people, so if you don't see your name here, please know I love literally everyone here, and you are amazing, I just happen to be functioning on about three brain cells at the moment 

(Also it seems to not want to @ some people, and others I forgot their shard names, so sorry if it's a bit wonky here for the names/nicknames)

@AonEne you are amazing my goodness, such a good friend and really just such a cool person overall. I really look up to you in many ways, thanks for being such an awesome inspiration

@Mist another true inspiration to me, you're really fun and honestly just very smart, I know everyone jokes about you being the responsible one, but it really is true, you are so appreciated. But you're also super fun and cool outside of that too, and I've enjoyed having you as a friend 

@Chasmessian I cannot begin to describe what an amazing friend you have been to me over the past year or so, thank you, truly. From out random conversations on bagels to our deep life discussions, I have enjoyed every storming minute of it. *virtually ruffles hedgehog*

@FriarFritz/NOAM you are an amazing, lovely, loyal friend who's kind to everyone, you have always cared, you are amazing, and you are the best (platonic) valentine I've ever had (I swear I almost definitly cried that day)

@Channelknight Fadran you are really nice and friendly to everyone, thank you for being you

@DramaQueen of course you and Fadran's names must be close; You are such a wonderful person I've enjoyed every conversation we've had, you are lovely and loyal to everyone, and have taught me a lot

VENNIEEEE  You are the probably the most optimistic supportive happy person I've ever met, and you have truly inspired me as well, I love the way you happily greet everyone, are constantly looking out for everyone's well being, and just generally super super caring. Thank you.

TRUTHIE you are going to run the world some day, you are so storming smart! I have loved getting to know you, and I think you are destined for a wonderful future. 

@Blessing of Potency You are also really cool and confident, you are quite fabulous and lovely

@Doomstick you are so kind and cool!! We really need to get that civ 6 game to happen one of these days, *hisses at life stuff*

DARK you are lovely and kind to everyone! You got this friend!

TAKEN you are amazing and such a thinker! I love the way you are open to new ideas and I have enjoyed every conversation we've had, serious ones and regular ones. I like the way you really value the people around you, you value our opinions, our life, our feelings. You are so cool

CYNI you are amazing and kind!

@Vapor*HUGGSSS* I enjoy being around you and your wonderful personality

@Condensation you are fabulous and loving to everyone around you, I will never forget you were the first ever person I interacted with extensively on the shard, and it was when I realized this forum was really really pog. Thank you for being your amazingly kind and sweet you

@Nathrangking you are an amazing poet and writer, thank you for putting up with me for so long with our rp-ing adventures during my time in FotT, you are truly an inspiration and I learned a lot about poetry from you, thank you friend

@KyL I don't know if you'll ever see this, but you also taught me a lot about writing and invention, I enjoyed getting to know you through rp-ing adventures

also that never ending chess game will always be a special memory for me

@Emi you are amazing and wonderful! I love your quirky wonderful personality, and you are an amazing artist

PUNNY you are actually so hilarious, I aspire to reach that level of punning, but also I have enjoyed our interactions and hope to have more

@Spock I love your personality so much!! You have been a huge help on my twitch and discord, and great friend. You are so nice too, and I really truly enjoy being around you

@KnightofIron I have enjoyed our conversations, and you are also a caring and cool person who I've enjoyed talking too

@revelryintheart I've also enjoyed getting to know you, another person who introduced me to the kind culture of the Shard

@Hen You amazing friend, it's been a hot second, but I have also really enjoyed getting to know you as well, you incredibly kind and loving

Meta, Affie, Dannex, Jester, Flying, Twig, SuperiorCiderCan I've enjoyed y'all as well, you guys are all AMAZING and I literally love ALL of you. 

Reading this back I realize that a decent portion of this doesn't make sense and it's because I'm quite tired and the day after my shardiversery is over in about fifteen minutes, however I hope at the end of the day you all realize what amazing human beings you all are, and that I love you and every moment we've had

Also another thing that happened, fittingly today, is that I GOT A PUPPY AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

*dies in cuteness overload (for the third time, I think)*

Well, it's been a year, and I have loved every storming moment I've been on the Shard. This is my last thank you and it is to Chaos and all of the mods. This place couldn't exist without you, I never would have met all the wonderful people I've met here if y'all didn't make this amazing place, and also keep it safe and uphold the wonderful culture it has. Thank you so so so much, you have helped so many of us so much, and my thankfulness for this place will never end
