Back by popular demand. English Willy part 3
(Idk if I'll do another bc I feel like its run its course and unlike Scott Cawthon I would like to end my series on a high note! But to everyone who sent in asks or showed support or generally took part I love all of you and had so much fun with this. I might do more in future but I don't want part 4 to hang over me as something I HAVE to do)

This…I will use this at some point
i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.
there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.
anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.
A Better World - create an alternate history timeline
Alter Ego - abandonware birth-to-death life simulator game
Seedship - text-based game about colonizing a new planet
Sandboxels or ThisIsSand - free-falling sand physics games
Little Alchemy 2 - combine various elements to make new ones
Infinite Craft - kind of the same as Little Alchemy
ZenGM - simulate sports
Tamajoji - browser-based tamagotchi
IFDB - interactive fiction database (text adventure games)
Written Realms - more text adventure games with a user interface
The Cafe & Diner - mystery game
The New Campaign Trail - US presidential campaign game
Money Simulator - simulate financial decisions
Genesis - text-based adventure/fantasy game
Level 13 - text-based science fiction adventure game
Miniconomy - player driven economy game
Checkbox Olympics - games involving clicking checkboxes
BrantSteele.net - game show and Hunger Games simulators
Murder Games - fight to the death simulator by Orteil
Cookie Clicker - different but felt weird not including it. by Orteil.
if you're ever thinking about making a niche project that only a select number of individuals will be nerdy enough to enjoy, keep in mind i've been playing some of these games off and on for 20~ years (Alter Ego, for example). quite literally a lifetime of replayability.
Excellent idea
I don't care for modern/no transmigration aus where shen yuan is all shy and innocent. This is the man who goes to brothels for information and makes friends everywhere he goes. Even in a normal setting I wholeheartedly believe he'd have connections, especially with his status as a rich kid.
I want a fic where Shen Yuan finds Binghe bleeding out in an alley and he's like "damn, calling an ambulance could get this guy in trouble... let me just call that underground doctor who I'm buddies with, he'll fix this guy up and I can pay him in cash so my dad won't ask about a huge bill on my credit card."
So many mafia aus would be way funnier if they were more realistic to how rich people actually act
Binghe: I'm a CRIMINAL I'm part of a GANG
Shen Yuan: um yeah I know, my friends buy cocaine from you
Binghe:
Shen Yuan: anyway
The freaking comments are funny for this one
For your all transmigrator au, i need to see MF pretending/actually being the concerned older brother type to LBH even tho their on different peaks now.
MF: If I appeal to the protagonist he won't kill me by ants right ??
LBH: NYY won't talk to me, I'm on Bai Zhan, I saw Liu Qingge in his inner robes and Ming Fan is acting like my older brother even though he has no reason to talk to me cause we're on different peaks. Am I being cursed or blessed ?
SQQ: (Walking onto Bai Zhan Peak) Luo Binghe !
LBH: Cursed definitely cursed-
(Sorry for rambling lol, your au is just really funny to think about)
Lmao I love ramblings this indeed is a funny thought
Ming Fan, with a happy welcoming smile: Shidi~ shidi~ what can this shixiong get for you? Has your Bai Zhan martial siblings been treating you well?
Luo Binghe immediately needs to scrub his eyes with sand cause did he just see Ming Fan of all people smile warmly at him???
Then he sees Shen Qingqiu waltzing around Bai Zhan peak without disciples trying to jump him? And the Bai Zhan Peak lord actually welcomes him??? AREN'T THEY SWORN ENEMIES??
Sqq walking around and actually having a civil conversation with Yue Qingyuan and Bingge is even more flabbergasted. When did he take that stick out of his ass and mend his relationship with Yue-Shibo?!?!
Mmmmm writing idea
shen yuan and bingge deserve be adventuring buddies . I need binghe bumping into shen yuan on his way to get wife plot cure #734 and allowing shen yuan to join him because he's bored. binghe finding a treasure trove and readying xin mo to kill the man accompanying him because shen yuan is no doubt coveting the gold and planning to betray binghe. binghe pointing his sword at shen yuan's back and finding him looking at historic murals and copying them down in his notebook. shen yuan says this is exactly what he was looking for and binghe quickly sheathes his sword before shen yuan closes his journal and turns around.
shen yuan: travelling with the protagonist shouldnt be too dangerous as long as I don't piss him off, right? besides there are so many mechanisms in pidw that only open for Binghe... i could spend years looking for artifacts that Binghe can stumble across in a day!
binghe is constantly seeking out some rare plant or trying to complete a quest. shen yuan is trying to explore pidw as much as possible because the world building is actually really good. they find themselves on the same trail so often, one day shen yuan just wakes up in his inn room to binghe standing over him saying "wake up, I'm going to the northern territories today." while Shen Yuan is screaming because why are you in my room!?
Usually Binghe prefers to do things solo but Shen Yuan isn't an unwelcome change of pace... for one thing he's not always slowing him down and can defend himself. for another he's... weirdly loyal to binghe. a bandit group ambushes them one day and shen yuan almost dies defending binghe. (binghe makes sure the entire organization is wiped out)
Binghe's wife: if the two of us don't find [wife plot artifact] I'll die! we must set out immediately!
Binghe: you stay here. I'll go
Her: But the legend says it needs two people or it wont reveal itself
Binghe: yeah I've got someone to go with
Her: ... hello????? this is supposed to be my romantic adventure ??????
After the events of the novel I bet the truce between the demonic & human realms mean that Liu Qingge (begrudgingly) takes it onboard that he can't just go around killing every single demon he fights anymore. Or fighting every single demon he meets either. There needs to be a good reason.
But Liu Qingge being Liu Qingge, he still gets into fights with a lot of demons. Sometimes he does still kill them as well, if they're causing problems that merit it (like going around attacking humans). However, increasingly if he gets annoyed with some demon who is doing something worthy of a fight but not necessarily worthy of an on-the-spot execution, he just beats them up and then leaves. Look, see, he's making an effort! He's avoiding political incidents!
Except then of course there are the myriad subsequent political incidents caused by all these demons coming to Cang Qiong to declare that they accept Liu Qingge's proposal.
