As many of you already know, a beautiful and preposterous game by the name of Glitch closed its doors two days ago. Even though Glitch is now gone, that doesn’t mean that Glitch inspired sharing of creativity has to go with it. Elendraug had the right idea when he started a giveaway for custom made Giant Icons, but sadly, that giveaway ended today. Now it’s my turn to pick up the slack.
PRIZE:
A custom crocheted plushie of your avatar in Glitch, lovingly made by yours truly.
It will measure about 7 inches tall, and while my avatar ended up being pretty simple, I’m not afraid of details. Also, the circle eyes, v-shaped mouth, and no ear or nose look is just a style I like, but I’m more than willing to accommodate to make your plushie look the way you want.
Rules:
- Reblog and/or like this post to enter (you may do both)
- You must have an existing account on Glitch.com (and therefore an avatar)
- Keep your askbox open
- For obvious reasons, you have to be comfortable with giving me your mailing address
- I’ll ship internationally
- The giveaway ends December 24, so that gives you two weeks to get your reblogs and likes in
- You don’t have to follow my blog to enter
- If you want to enter but don’t have a tumblr account, drop me an email at laaverosada@gmail.com with the subject, “Glitch Giveaway” and I’ll get you added to the list
- Save a copy of your spritesheet just in case something happens to the site before the giveaway ends
And that should be it. Thanks, everyone. You, the community, are part of why this game was so great, and you all deserve so much more than just my silly little dolls.
landonsheely: Gardens don’t crash like markets.
What we as Americans should wise up to: this is the intention. The precursor to all totalitarian ‘takeovers’ is to reduce a society’s capacity for independence. This requires full and total, and more importantly, willing and obedient, castration: submission to full and total search and seizure, lack of sovereignty over personal property, no weapons for the common citizen, and complete dependency on the state for food and other necessities.
Gardens drastically reduce dependency on the state for food and other necessities. ‘Homogenized’, well manicured lawns, are quite useful for boiling the pot over to total submission. “Gardens dont crash like markets,” and therein lies the problem for the state. With (illegal) multi-agency raids on (legal) food cooperatives, corporate patents placed upon franken-genes running rampant around any form of food production facility, corporate interests governing all food-related legislation, and the manufactured consensus of apathy and helplessness amongst the American consumer base, we are beyond the first stages of such a change to complete and total dependency on the state for survival.
It is public knowledge that the FBI and other security oriented agencies (and likely countless corporate/private sector counterparts) are engaging in full surveillance and infiltration operations against food, nutrition, health, and sustainability activists. Having any interest whatsoever in independent food production, or personal wellness outside of the FDA/Big Pharma regimen, can be labeled with the nefarious “T” word.
Planting your own garden is a serious act of rebellion in this political climate.
