thinking about the hong sangsoo bit where he names a film so temporally muddled it's hard to say how many days pass or how events relate to each other The Day Something Something

having to relaunch the VN every time you want to change something is a big productivity killer, so i'm determined to implement some helpful tooling. i can now preview all kinds of crazy Dario Argento lighting effects on the sprites directly from the visual editor

purkka @purkka.fi · 1d

basically, you implement visual effects as gdscript files with various well-known properties, like arguments that define the state of the effect; i am now spinning all this into a GUI that allows you to adjust them and see what happens

gdscript code block reading:

extends Vfx
# lighting effects on a CanvasItem

var EMPTY_TEXTURE: Texture2D

func recognized_arguments() -> Array[String]:
return [ 'modulate', 'light_map', 'grade_map', 'with' ]

var modulate: Color = Color.WHITE
var light_map_path: String = ''
var grade_map_path: String = ''

func _init() -> void:
...

can't show anything since the test assets are from an unannounced project but i had a very exciting time with internal tooling today, you can now preview effects within the visual stage editor (which allows you to see how sprites, backgrounds, etc look)

sorry i just can't approach a text through any other lens than tumblr fandom tropes & dynamics i'm more projecting onto than discovering in my object of interest

At the risk of starting something, but since its trending:

So... Do (anglophonic) people know that the LGBT themes of Moomin is about many things in the text, such as most explicitly Tiuhti & Viuhti, not just Snufkin & Moomintroll, which is mainly just a popular ship?
Like there's more going on?

purkka @purkka.fi · 2d

that's kind of what i'm talking about 😭 will the fact that the original books make rich use of metaphor and subtext viewed as a facet of Tove's vision & artistic sensibilities or as something that needs to be updated for modern audiences

will it be good? hard to imagine. but will it cause countless 20-somethings to have incomprehensible fandom drama on tumblr? most likely

you can associate a sprite with a speaker and play a speaking animation when a character speaks. to avoid timing issues, clients can not show it if the game is being skipped. but what if the animation is very, very long and the player advancing normally causes it to be played twice simultaneously?

This is patently absurd. It would seem any use of Kirk's photo is now grounds for a permanent ban.

Aveta👾🇭🇹 @aliafonzy.blacksky.app · 3d

Unfortunate update: Link reached out to BlueSky and got email back now on reason.

His appeal is denied. He will remain permanently banned on BlueSky’s side.

Here are the screenshots he just sent me as of 8:22 AM EST(my time)

A screenshot of an email from the Bluesky Moderation Team with the subject line “Bluesky Account Behavior” sent at 22:15. The email states that a Bluesky account controlled by the recipient, with the handle @spacelawshitpost.me, posted a reply with an image where the alt text reads: Charlie Kirk sitting in a white T-shirt that says “Freedom.” A negative consequence follows. The email indicates this post violates Community Guidelines regarding violent or threatening speech, specifically listing threats of violence or physical harm against individuals, groups, institutions, or the general public, and incitement of self-harm or suicide.

A screenshot of an email continuation from the Bluesky Moderation Team displaying a bulleted list of Community Guidelines violations. The first bullet point describes threats of violence or physical harm as including threats or encouragement of violence against individuals, groups, institutions, or the general public. The second bullet point defines incitement of self-harm or suicide as content that encourages self-harm or suicide. The third bullet point explains wishes of harm as expressions of a desire for harm directed at a specific person or group. Below the bullets, a paragraph states that users may not use Bluesky to break the law or cause harm to others and that all users must be treated with respect. The next paragraph informs the recipient that as a result of these violations, your account has been taken down. A closing paragraph thanks the user for doing their part to keep Bluesky a welcoming and empowering place for all users and instructs them to email moderation@blueskyweb.xyz if they have questions or wish to appeal the decision. The email ends with the signature Bluesky Moderation Team.

A screenshot of an email from the Bluesky Moderation Team sent at 08:11 with the subject line Re: Bluesky Account Behavior addressed To: Hide My Email. The email reads:

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out to appeal the takedown of your account on Bluesky. We have carefully reviewed your case, including the information you provided and the activity that led to the suspension of your account.

After investigating, we have determined that your account activity was in violation of our community guidelines, specifically promoting hateful content or being disruptive to other users. We take these guidelines seriously to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all our users.

As a result, we regret to inform you that your appeal has been denied, and your account will remain suspended. This decision is final and cannot be reversed. We understand that this may be disappointing news, but we must prioritize the well-being of our community and maintain a consistent enforcement of our policies. We encourage you to review our community guidelines to better understand the expectations we have for user behavior on our platform. Please do not create new accounts, since those will be taken down for ban evasion.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Eduskunnan suuri valiokunta päätti perjantaina vastustaa Tanskan kompromissia CSAM-asetukseksi. Lapsiin kohdistuvaa seksuaalista väkivaltaa tulee torjua verkossa toimivasti ja tehokkaasti, mutta heikosti kohdennettu yksityisyydensuojan murtaminen ei kuulu demokratiaan.

NEW: breach of Discord age verification data.

Including some users passports & DLs

Age verification is a badly implemented data grab wrapped in a moral panic.

Mark my words, as age verification mandates expand, we'll end up more surveilled and less secure. 1/
