Zircon | 0/40

I'm a deeply flawed individual, but I bring joy to the world.

To sum up this thread, given recent events in the Chicagoland area due to ICE activity, for the safety of all attendees, especially international attendees, I am calling on @furfest.org to ban tactical gear & modern police/military costumes from the con space

That is the least I can ask from MFF

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me

Screenshot from SRIV, four spheres in different skin shades

On Saints Row we had a debug npc named Skinballs (lol) that was literally just four spheres wrapped in different shades of skin texture so we could test lighting for different skin tones during development. But teams need to plan for that kind of testing with intentionality, and not enough do.

Mood

A dark brindle dog laying in bed with her eyes halfway open, head pressed against a human’s knee.

My dog is a wonderfully ridiculous creature.

So I freewater her but not free-feed, and when I’m in bed with her at night she will stay in bed and wait for permission to go get water EVEN IF SHE’S THIRSTY.

Precious bingus monster.

Cars broke down 🫠
Fucking hells
So our partner DoorDashing is off the table for however long it takes to get this sorted

Mavis is a good person and deserves to keep having a roof over their head. Please help them out if you can. If not, please repost.

Tell people you love them when you feel it, let them know they're appreciated when they do things for you.

Don't take for granted that people just know, that stuff is too important to go unsaid! It's so important to say it in plain and direct language.

AI generated content disclosure via Arc Raider's Steam page: The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: During the development process, we may use procedural- and AI-based tools to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.

They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

I'll be the fun police.

Don't play Arc Raiders. Do better. Play a game with real voice acting.

We're socialized to constantly apologize for being too outwardly excited about things, but this world is so full of terror and misery that I'd rather see those bursts of light and passion shine through the cracks wherever you can find them.

Omg yeah that was clearly just a Scrungle Moment. Amazing.

After purchasing some needs (groceries + bathroom items), I’ve reflected my rent goal to reflect what my bank account reads.

Please share. I don’t want to lose my apartment during the holidays. I’m genuinely scared.

The blep. The giant moon pupils. The ears up. Precious baby. Omg.

Pronouns are words, there's nothing biological about words.

Nintendo should take notes. This is how you fucking do it.

The bluesky devs are so fucking childish, man.

"I don't like this post, so I'm hiding it from the whole site", fucking babies.

People plead for others to share their mutual aid because visibility matters.

I am a living example of this.

500+ reposts on my mutual aid led to it being funded VERY quickly.

Repost mutual aid every time you see it. It could reach someone who can help!

If you can’t donate, always share!

At this point, you can't prove that GenAI isn't stealing.

My fellow trans men: Stop saying dumb shit like "We experience nothing" or "Nothing bad ever happens to us" or "society doesn't care that we're trans at all, and in fact rewards us" and then complain about our invisibility and general ignorance of our issues.

YOU are contributing with that bullshit

I'm asexual, I don't do Netflix and Chill, I do YouTube and Sleep.

- On Indigenous Peoples Day, my mutual aid reached 500+ reposts and was funded quickly.

- I do not have extended family I can reach out to for help; I’m a survivor of an abusive household that escaped.

Please keep sharing this. I’m now at 11%. Reposts are free.
