So I was doing my thing, you know. Cruising on through the various labyrinthine monoliths that make up the internet.
Then I found a little website called dirkstrider.net.
Now, I don't usually get intrigued by a lot of things, but this in particular caught my eye. I can remember trying to find websites named after characters a while back and dirkstrider.net didn't seem to net any results. But, at some point, it started to, I guess.
What do you guys think about it?
<to the tune of everybody wants to rule the world> everybody wants to make an arg where you cant tell if its official or not to try and entrench themselves into the narrative canon by force

Speaking of, I should probably buy docscratch.com or some variation of it if that's available on there. Might as well make this my brand.
re: alexk
the site definitely doesnt block you from getting any canon handles, just the most elite ones are unavailable like the actual kids and trolls chumhandles. tons of usernames have flavor text but can still be accessed like mine and i think someone has docscratch. oh wait that person is in this thread lmfao

Usually, AI detection programs uses AI themselves to flag certain phrases that are most often used by AIs like CHATGPT. ChatGPT can't perfectly replicate human speech or the way humans type.
However, it seems that the AI detection program I used has a "low confidence" score, which means that it's not entirely sure if it's AI and more likely to give a false positive for it. so take that as you will.
You can get the kids' ones too. E.G. https://www.fruityrumpus.com/forums/p/tentacletherapist

is the only weird one yet.
re: mateto
don't get me wrong i definitely think this website is the real deal lol
im kinda bummed that that one part is seemingly written by ai. i guess we'll have to see if the whole satyr thermal weapon thing is an actual bit of leaked story plotpoint or just LLM hallucination *shrug*

@rosey
The comic mentions "ANCIENT SATYRICAL THERMAL WEAPONRY" on page 802, so I assume it holds some ground.

Since Kevin went ahead and busted it, I figure I might as well come out and say it: I'm currently working on this site as a little fan-project on the side. There's going to be more posted to it every now and then, so if you all enjoy it either way (despite it not being real, shucks!), feel free to give it a look-see every now and then to see what's new.
It was also just way too fun to see people speculate on it, sorry not sorry - orz
We've been had! Cool project, though.
And that's about it.
oh so this is... some kind of... dirkpalace boss part b loop?
In my defense, I did not expect the exploit-backed username stealing! Nicely done. :V
honestly, its a damn impressive site. i hope it stays up, i want to see what they do with it.
@kevin Many thanks! I appreciate the warm words of appreciation. I put in a good few days on it so far and I plan on it being a bunch more with a few cool new features(TM) that may or may not end up working as intended!
@Mateto I was the one who initially reported the exploit to the staff, haha.
feel free to keep sharing! we're trying our best to publicly stay on top of what's "official" so people are surprised when our dark plans come to fruition... but i never like raining on a parade. especially the really fun ones.
also, let's be real, you deserve the credit for making the damn thing to begin with. (also, thanks for the exploit tip!)
Very much welcome! And totally understandable. I felt like the combination of factors made things a little too indiscernible (for better or worse, heehoo).
I'll be sure to make a separate thread (might be handier) and keep folks updated there. Thanks once again!
