I have to get off of Spotify, Every time I open the app it's pushing anti-vaxers at me.

I have like no reach here, but if anyone sees this, I'm open to suggestions.

I think I have heard of a service called floatplane? But I know nothing about it.

Know your hyena( pin)s

www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

Spotted hyena
(Crocuta crocuta)

The largest and arguably the most widely known of the hyenas, recognisable by their big round ears, nose and belly!

Plus, of course, by their spots, which are featured in the background pattern of this pin.

Striped hyena
(Hyaena hyaena)

The most widespread of the hyenas, ranging from all of northern Africa across the Middle East to India, with multiple subspecies.

The background of this pin features, of course, stripes!

Brown hyena
(Parahyaena brunnea)

Recognisable by their striped paws and long brown poncho-like fur coat,
they live in and alongside the coast of southern Africa.

They are also known as the 'strandwolf', meaning beach wolf, represented by the ocean waves in the background of this pin.

Aardwolf
(Proteles cristata)

The aardwolf is no wolf at all, and is, just like the other three hyena cousins, more closely related to cats and civets than to dogs.

They are smaller than the others and have specialized tongues and teeth to eat termites, which are featured in the background of this pin.

CyricZ - The Dragon of GameFAQs

@cyricz42.bsky.social

Announcement:

I will not be writing a GameFAQs guide for Yakuza Kiwami 3/Dark Ties.

Full statement below:

Hi everyone. CyricZ here. After giving myself time to reflect on my options, I’ve decided that I will not be writing a GameFAQs guide for Yakuza Kiwami 3 / Dark Ties. I will not be purchasing the game, nor playing it in any capacity.
I write guides because I love writing, and I write for the games that I write for because they inspire me. The joy I find in them drives me to give my best work. If I were to write a guide entirely out of obligation or expectation, I do not believe my best work would find its way to the page.
With the hiring of known sexual harasser Teruyuki Kagawa to the face and voice cast of Yakuza Kiwami 3, I do not find myself inspired by the game. The Like a Dragon series has a long-standing history of opposing sexual misconduct in all its forms and I feel this casting goes against that message.

Key members of RGG Studio have refused to speak on the hiring of Kagawa after his misconduct was made more widely known. While they are by no means required to speak about this, by their silence they have sent a message that they do not view Kagawa’s misconduct as a dealbreaker for inclusion in the series cast, nor do they deem it worth addressing. This stands in contrast to steps taken in the past to replace other cast members that did not align with their values.
I won’t go into further detail on the issue itself as the information is widely available via the #REMOVEKAGAWA movement. The rest of this will be about me, my guides, and my relationship with RGG Studio and the Like a Dragon series.

I remain a fan of the Like a Dragon series. It’s not something I can just excise from myself. I intend to continue playing past Like a Dragon games on stream as they are some of my favorite video games. That may be subject to change in the future, but the plans are to continue playing the games on stream in my intended order, with the exception of Yakuza Kiwami 3 or Dark Ties. The only minor thing that will change with regards to my streams is that I intend to take special note during stream of the many, many instances during the series that remind us of the societal ill of sexual misconduct.
As to future games put out by RGG Studio, I reserve the right to not make a decision on those at this time. That will be a “wait and see” situation, dependent on future actions or inactions by RGG Studio.
Further, if things change with regards to the release of Yakuza Kiwami 3, I reserve the right to reassess all the preceding. RGG Studio still has the opportunity to do right in this situation, and I hold onto hope that they will see the best way forward.

Finally, I promise to all my readers that my GameFAQs guides for the Like a Dragon series and other RGG Studio games will be going nowhere no matter what happens. Not only are they some of my best work, but if I preserve the guides with myself as the author, I remain in creative control of them. This prevents others from taking the text and redistributing it without my consent, which is something I fear would happen if I were to remove them from GameFAQs entirely.
For those of you who read my guides, thank you so much for your support, and I’m sorry I will not be helping with this upcoming game. For anyone who wants to write a guide on GameFAQs for Yakuza Kiwami 3, be my guest, not that you need my permission anyway. For those of you joining me in solidarity against Kagawa and this release, I thank you all for sticking with it. Your commitment has inspired this.
Be good to each other,
Scott “CyricZ” Zdankiewicz

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam

This is where we're at now.
