morning, slaw-choppers!

In the heart of the city, where neon signs and streetlights cast their sickly glow, a place existed where shadows gathered to discuss their obsessions. The corners of the internet, like the neglected alleys of the metropolis, were home to an entity that nurtured the darkness that resided within its digital landscape. GGB-Chatterbox, a forum dedicated to the discourse of video games, was the nexus of these shadows.

Amipal was a regular visitor to this virtual haven, a place where he could engage with like-minded individuals who shared his passion for the virtual realms. He was a man of peculiar habits, one of which was the creation of his own homemade pink coleslaw. The process of finely shredding the cabbage, mixing it with mayonnaise and vinegar, and watching the colors bleed together, had a deeply calming effect on Amipal. It was as if the process of making coleslaw mirrored the blending of his own fragmented thoughts, dreams, and fears, which then coalesced into a unified, albeit unsettling, whole.

One evening, while Amipal prepared his coleslaw, he engaged in a heated debate with another forum member named Lazybones. Lazybones was known for his avatar, an image of Billy Bear Ham—a grotesque representation of a bear's face crafted from processed meat, which seemed to mock the very notion of innocence. As they exchanged words, it seemed as though the lines between their virtual and physical worlds began to blur.

Night after night, the arguments between Amipal and Lazybones grew more intense. Their digital altercations seeped into Amipal's subconscious, tainting his once-peaceful coleslaw ritual with a sense of unease. He would find himself standing over the kitchen counter, hands stained pink with cabbage and mayonnaise, while the visage of Billy Bear Ham leered at him from the screen of his nearby laptop.

One evening, as Amipal prepared his coleslaw, he noticed that the recipe had begun to change. The cabbage seemed to wilt the moment it touched the cutting board, and the mayonnaise curdled into a rancid paste. The pink color, which once calmed him, now seemed to pulse with a sinister hue that reminded him of the neon lights of the city outside. As he mixed the ingredients, he could feel the presence of Lazybones and the malevolent gaze of Billy Bear Ham, watching him from the depths of the darkened screen.

The following day, Amipal returned to the GGB-Chatterbox, only to find that the forum had been replaced by a single image—a photograph of his coleslaw, bathed in the sickly light of his kitchen. He stared at the screen in horror, realizing that the boundary between the digital world and his own reality had been irrevocably breached.

From that day on, Amipal could no longer find solace in his coleslaw ritual. The shadows that once provided him refuge now haunted his every waking moment, a constant reminder of the darkness that permeated both the city and the internet. And in the cold glow of the screen, the sinister grin of Billy Bear Ham lingered, as if to say that it was always watching, always waiting, and always hungry.

I know it seems monstrously egotistical to have asked for a story including … myself … myself and the Billy Bear ham …

I didn’t ask for much. I just said:

‘Write a very short story in the style and voice of Thomas Ligotti about an internet videogame forum called GGB-Chatterbox. A man called Amipal makes his own homemade pink coleslaw. A man called Lazybones uses the avatar of a Billy Bear Ham’

What does this mean?

Pardon me?

Maybe it's in code?

Morning all! Terrys been phlebotomised yet again. Seems like a case of the wigglers. Top banana!

Games - Diabloids. Druid is now level 22. Smashed some more goatmans. I have a skill that causes random bolts of lightning to smite stuff on the screen every few seconds. It’s brilliant if you just want to stare blankly at the screen while colours and sounds explode all over the place.

Apparently Ubisoft are making are Star Wars game about the Outlaws. I wonder if it will feature The outlaws trademark pioneering indoor extreme toileting.

Felice Landry. Spite-likes out the wazoo.

I think this is his “quick content” - he’ll have a Patreon up shortly for “Lazybones Originals”.

As a high level pro Diabloids player I started on world tier 1 and have stayed on world tier 1. I have literally skipped every cutscene/quest dialogue because I basically just want to get more lightning to make flashing lights and things go pow

Are you going to try any other classes? Neck romancer looks fun to me. I tried Sorcerer in the beta and got a bit bored. No offence (you berk) but rouge looks like the least interesting of all of them.
