I don't usually do this because I believe is better done in emergencies and I don't think I'm the best or anything, but I do have a kofi and patreon if you have a coin to spare and want to show a bit of support for this humble art borb

you know what? I'd probably go with RDA

no wait maybe not skull servant since it does use links to keep throwing wights onto the graveyard

idk, i'd probably play Shining Magician replacing dragoon with cavalry and adding magidragon and paladin/DMG knight. Lunalight is kinda blegh without liger to get a kickstart, Branded is too tight on space, Labrynth with Slifer is an option but kinda boring, Horus is kinda dead, maybe Skull Servant

Hi guys! After what happened, it's evident that my mom's surgery can't wait, so I'm asking for donations to help to gather the money for it

She almost lost consciousness last night and the insurance keeps refusing to help us

Every help counts 🙏💕

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.
Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs
Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript
@Inker_comics: I JUST GOT FUCKED UP REAL BAD [shared a screenshot of his suspension from PayPal]

@MrQuessos: [quote tweeting @Inker_comics] If you are going to pay an artist via PayPal, please DO NOT include ANYTHING related to commission or nsfw in the payment description. Whether out of ignorance or innocence, you could screw up someone's job. Mastercard

Canadian people, use the recent Discord leak to show how BAD of an idea this is. Age verification or any OSA putrid child needs to die before it becomes law, do not allow this and make sure to your rep that if they are for this law they will be taken out of power expeditiously.

Canadians! The UK is attempting to push their own version of the Online Safety Act onto Canada via the bill S-209!

You need to contact your representatives in parliament and explain how this policy is catastrophically bad! Mention the discord data breach!

Translation: just because Bilewater was purposefully designed in its entirety to be bad doesn't automatically make it good. Its still fucking BAD. Same applies with other things of the game
tgowl.bsky.social
This is to say: just like Megaman X6 is a fucking broken ass game made in a rush, Silksong is a pretty good game with noticeable flaws that shouldn't be there in the first place, is not some 9D chess move Team Cherry godlike devs do. Learn to see things for what they are, be it good or bad
tgowl.bsky.social
Also: what's with people gaslighting themselves anyways? If a thing is good, then its good. But if a thing is bad, then its bad. Deal with it and stop making up excuses, you'll be a much happier person that way
tgowl.bsky.social
I already implied it in my Bilewater rant, but even if Silksong is a good game, there's a lot, and I mean A LOT, of tiny decisions made thorought that end up snowballing in later parts of the game in a way that more than making things satisfying, it makes you just want to be done with it
tgowl.bsky.social
You know, if I judge Megaman X6 in a certain way for reasons everyone should know by now, Silksong sure as hell ain't gonna be excempt of that judgement either. Is not as bad as the former, but boy does it get close the more you go into it

We have like at least three perfectly good names for this shit now: "genAI", "AI slop", the brilliant "digital taxidermy" coined by Zelda Williams

but I'm still seeing people call it just "AI"

come the fuck on guys. AI is too broad a term. There IS GOOD AI (!!). Don't get it confused
triple-q.bsky.social
*Jet Set Radio voice* I said it before and I'll say it again-again-again-again
We absoultely need a proper distinction for bad AI, because using "AI" on its own as a catchall for everything is NOT doing us any favors, especially since AI is such a broad term

Some folks are using the term "genAI": for anything GENERATIVE, like scripts, art or movies

Hey guys, does anyone know of a decent alternative to PayPal? I've wanted to move to a different payment processor for some time now but I don't know which one would be good for sending and receiving payments
