Update: banshed for attempted theft of flan

Damn......

Haha not my backyard!

Shoutout to the stray cat that decided to attend this backyard party and claim a chair

I think the secret trick might be having a weak password/no 2fa

Boy that "someone is impersonating you" dm scammer is getting around really fast stealing ppls accounts huh.

It's not uncommon when I get into a car from Vancouver's carshare service for me to have to turn down the bass that some rando has maxed out but today is the first time someone has instead cranked the TREBLE to max and the others down. What specific kind of sicko are you

Also going to shamelsssly use this as a reminder that if you would like me to apply my expertise to make *your* game’s world/narrative/mythology accurately vague, contradictory, and incomplete (in the best way)- I’m open for narrative work at the end of summer.

it goes further: Yu Suzuki had a oh-shit-the-boss-is-here button installed on his devkits that'd corrupt the screen and make the game look visibly "unfinished", in order to keep his boss from trying to force the game out the door ASAP shmuplations.com/afterburner/

Frame grab from Real Ghostbusters depicting a red-haired winged woman with a fake Latin description and the name "Makoveris Lotsabucks"

Excerpt From Becoming Superman by J. Michael Straczynski: “Eager to repair the show, my first script up was “Janine, You’ve Changed,” about a demon who, unbeknownst to the rest, had been posing as Janine’s fairy godmother the last two seasons. Feeding off her insecurity about her appearance, the demon convinced Janine to keep changing her look to be more appealing to others. The Ghostbusters help her accept that she’s beautiful just as she is, which banishes the demon and restores Janine to her original appearance. The censors and consultants who had pushed for a softer Janine hated the story, but there was nothing they could do to stop it. They were particularly furious that the story equated them with a hellborn demon. Interestingly, the Union of Hellborn Demons Local 666 voiced similar complaints in the other direction.”

The season 6 episode that addresses Janine's makeover pokes fun at the consultants behind it: the creature that's changing Janine is named "Makoveris Lotsabucks." In his 2019 memoir, screenwriter J. Michael Straczynski said the network censors and consultants hated the story.

never forget what t hey took from you

Post from "The Rundown" July 18 at 5:30 PM · DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material. Source: TechCrunch

Basically I think it’s good when a cat makes a noise

I just lost my one stable gig and I'm about to lose my health insurance again. Please consider donating

incredibly happy to see Valve being this terse and no nosense about this

the calls and emails are WORKING and this is 100% the sign to keep at it

ahaha, thank you for reading! Always happy to spread the word on weird niche stuff

:D i'm glad!! thank you for reading!

someone filled this saying "it might be a long shot to get a key--" and i am here to tell you: it is not a long shot. quite honestly if you fill this and are somewhat of a Content Creator you are guaranteed to get a key

guess who forgot to blog for a few months! me!

so here's some games I've been playing lately!

The scenario that's playing out right now, where making this kind of threat BECOMES the controversial thing they're doing damage control over, is the exact thing they DON'T want to happen because they now have to explain WHY they're making threats, and surprise, they don't come out looking good!

Like the usual playbook for them is to privately threaten platforms to stop supporting certain content (to avoid any form of controversy-by-association) or else they take away the platform's ability to process transactions. Platforms capitulate & (up to now) take most of the heat

Kind of staggered at how impactful the #SaveSpeech campaign against MC/Visa/Paypal/Stripe's adult content policies has been. In just over a week we've gone from CCs and paypros exerting power over platforms from the shadows to being forced to make public statements (that can then be pulled apart)

I cannot believe No Sleep For Kaname Date literally uses the 999 "seek a way out" splash and even the musical jingle. They know exactly who this game is catering to

An image of a huge jackboot crushing a comic artist and a bunch of comic pages. The boot is marked by the logos for MasterCard, Visa, Paypal, and Stripe. Below the image there is text which reads: Don't let Payment Processors tell YOU what you can buy! It is not a payment processor's role to decide what kind of content you can or cannot spend money on, so long as it is a legal transaction. Fight back against the unjust policies hurting artists and creators online! https://yellat.money/ https://stop-paypros.neocities.org/

If I say, people will go find their security key!!!

Nope!

highly specific gamedev hot tip:

if you make a unity game and publish it on steam you probably shouldn't put a URL link to your master google doc for the game in your datafiles

and you probably shouldn't leave it totally unsecured

and you probably shouldn't include this in it
