For those that don’t know, & for context, we’re animist & have always meant to dive more into it.

…we didn’t think it’d be tech of all things!

I guess we’re starting off with naming our 3DS & its capture board, cuz MY GOODNESS XDD

- Road (he/him)

I'm thinking of having a rather impromptu stream today qwq I'll probably focus on the 3DS given the thing is (surprisingly) alive XD

Seriously; I've checked this thing 5 times since it glitched out!

I swear, the capture board in this thing is gonna give me a heart attack /lh

- Road (he/him)

VISA and MASTERCARD are now refusing all calls related to their policy changes. So call up as a concerned shareholder, prepared to short-sell their shares to reduce financial harm and loss to their portfolios.

They're trying to ignore us. Don't let them.

Evangelical Censorship is death to progress

// Arm Your Girls Tonight!

— Working on #Vtuber Arm Tech! Soon the meshes will be ready, and I'll even make armpits! My goal has been to be able to express myself even more while streaming, it really feels like I'm letting myself melt into the screen!

[[ #vtubers #live2d #live2dwip #art #queer ]]

This is why we made sure that we're using voicebanks for our "Mascot TTS" and "TTS My Message" redeems that aren't generative -- at least to the best of our knowledge -- through Mix It Up.

-- Terarbals (they/them)

We're prioritizing art at this time, but we've also been trying to prepare for all the things we promised thanks to achieved donothon goals, namely:

1. Live Reim & Temos lesson(s)
2. Shorts & Art Co-working stream(s)

Do y'all want each subject separate, or 1 big lesson & 1 big stream?

Alright, for "Estranged", the Temos version has been translated and recorded >:D

So, we're planning to have the Reim version translated & recorded soon.

We wish we had the space to do warmups & singing properly qwq But it's better than paying to use a recording studio

- Road (he/him)

we all know calling electeds isn't what will liberate any of us in the end. but the folks closest to institutional power are the ones who can, while things are bad-bad, most easily help hold up the falling sky to buy time for at-risk people.

this can be both "not enough" & also "really matter."🧵

Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act.

If passed, it would require Full. Age. Verification.

Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is.

Spread this pls.

Link: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

#screenact #badinternetbills
#stopkosa

As one of your constituents, I am urging you not to let the newly introduced SCREEN Act pass the Senate. This bill is a dystopian breach of privacy and threat to the constitutional rights of all Americans. It will do nothing to protect children and will only enable constant surveillance of American citizens. Your constituents do not want this. We demand an open internet where free speech can prosper, not locked behind faulty and invasive age verification.

just contacted my reps. here's a script for those who want it:

This is why I laugh when people are like "for the past decade..." with the anti adult content crusade

I've been a sex worker since ~2006. It's been a CONSTANT battle of fighting for expression and being told that my kinks are bad and not allowed, actually

#sexwork #SWer #censors #visa #mastercard

Translating & releasing “Estranged” is taking longer than expected due to mental health combined with trying to get our new job set up.

The themes for the song also require a lot of new words to be made in Reim & Temos — namely religious terminology.

We hope to release the song this week qwq

...So, we decided to test the 3DS to see if the capture board would work. Don't know why we thought it'd work considering the screens and audio were glitching.

...Everything came out looking perfect qwq

So, uh, now we can't put off Tomodachi Life XDD

a logo image that says - conjured ink. following the logo, the graphic says anti-censorship, pro-weird, seller shop software.

the same text as in the post is on this graphic, followed by a cartoon of a canadian witch girl flying on a hockeystick broom

Itch and Steam got a bunch of us thinking; we need a catalogue where creative (esp. NSFW & Queer) works are less vulnerable to censorship. A storefront we won't be delisted from. One giving us the autonomy to sell our stuff our way. So we're making Conjured Ink. You can join us. https://conjured.ink

We're finally starting stream! >:D The Nukters still need a bit of time for personal necessities, like food and drink, but we are finally diving into The Evil Within!

Hop by and say hi! :D

- Road (he/him)

We don't know when we will be streaming; the Nukters continue to have tech troubles

This is extremely cool. GOG is taking a stand against payment processors caving to fundamentalist religious groups and is offering a bunch of "banned" games for free.

Magnus is feeling it now, Mister Krabs, and is needing some extra help on tech. Stream is pushed to 7 PM

Distressed mastercard persona: Clarifying recent headlines on gaming content Mastercard has not evaluated any game or required restrictions of any activity on game creator sites and platforms, contrary to media reports and allegations. Our payment network follows standards based on the rule of law. Put simply, we allow all lawful purchases on our network. At the same time, we require merchants to have appropriate controls to ensure Mastercard cards cannot be used for unlawful purchases, including illegal adult content. Sue: Hello, I had a few concerns about your policies.

You hear that guys? All lawful purchases are allowed! We're just not allowing the ILLEGAL stuff like...dark romance V-Novels?

This ain't adding up. These companies are playing damage control now.

Don't Stop Calling! More official statements only brings up more questions!

BURN THEIR FUCKING PANTS KEEP CALLING THEM

The Nukters are needing some help with tech, so Horror Pool has been postponed to 6:30 EDT XDD

We're streaming with
@nebulasnoctisvt.bsky.social
for Horror Pool this evening starting @ 6 PM EDT :D

We'll be diving into The Evil Within for the first time!

See you soon!

Translation is a field where lots of jobs have been replaced by LLMs - not because the LLMs are competent at translating, but because they're competent at coming up with *plausible-sounding* translations even if they're completely wrong, and monoglot execs don't know or care if it's accurate

Also please remember: the LGBT community has so few elders because of the violence against us, suicide and the AIDS tragedy.
Stick around.
Let's make sure our young folks don't go through that again.

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/

Let's Keep Calling!

On our latest stream, we mentioned a novel we’re starting. While we haven’t hit any goals to show it off yet, we’re still open for questions on it.

The synopsis is “Hunger Games Meets The Owl House”, with sci-fi, Y2K, & cults paralleling magic, curses, & allegory
