‼️🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨‼️

If you receive a random DM like this, immediately report and block. Do not engage.

This is part of a phishing scam that works to steal your account. They ask you to contact “support” via Discord and will lock you out.

Seen dozens of reports like this, it finally happened to me.

Screenshot of a Bluesky DM that starts, “Hello, are you busy at the moment?”

hello are you busy?

Depends on what do you mean by busy
Hi!
07:40
How do i say this, I know this is super dumb and I just want to say sorry because I reported a fraud/phising links issue to Bluesky Support and accidentally used your account info which totally caused a mix-up. I didn't think it'd turn into a big deal, but now Support is saying it could get your account deleted or your IP blocked.
I feel awful about it as I was just super stressed and confused and totally messed up. I really need your help to reach out to them and explain what happened or file an appeal to clear things up. I'm so sorry again, I didn't mean for any of this to happen.

I usually don't pose WIPs on here buuuuut since people out there are so convinced of a boogeyman that they want to shadowbox so badly, I'll spare them the effort. 😉

Posted my new piece to the storyofseasons subreddit only to have a bunch of shit-brained losers call my art AI-generated because "the lips look confusing" and "smudged" and the conclusion they came up with was that I traced over an AI generated picture.

I'm so fucking tired.

Friday night ramble: Genshintwt in general says the weirdest things about Aether but I don't think anybody involved is ready to have a conversation acknowledging that.

It's why over half the stuff they showcase in Pokemon Presents every year are apps like Pokemon Sleep, Pokemon Cafe, Pokemon Brush Your Teeth, TCG Pocket, etc.

That and the trend of big 3-D gacha (that's already in a bubble about to pop) has sort of made Nintendo shy away from gacha. (2/2)

They went gung-ho with mobile for a while in the late 2010s. Fire Emblem Heroes, Animal Crossing Pocket Camp, Dragalia Lost, etc. But then most of them except FE Heroes and Pokemon Masters EX went EoS. I notice that they're focusing less on gacha now and more on casual app experiences. (1/2)

I technically already sent @aegisasu.bsky.social a message, but I'll join in too. She's done great work, and is really nice to work with. She doesn't deserve what happened on the other site

Again, I hope you're doing ok! #WeLoveYouAsu

Several people told me that going back to physical goods is the solution to getting art around paypros. It's well-meaning, but again, we can't loophole our way out of this. They're coming for everything. We have to stop running and stand and fight. Call your reps and demand protection. Call paypros.

The turmoil surrounding adult games is devastating. The maker of Solanaceae: After All, a free game, announced that they can't continue because of the chaos surrounding paypros. Games aren't free to make; they cost devs valuable time they could be spending elsewhere

Solanaceae: After All Development Officially on Hiatus
I hate to say it, but this game has to wait even longer before it will be completed.

Hello everyone! You may have seen that recently Steam made some updates to it's policies regarding adult content. These policies may (or may not) affect the eventual release of this game; at this point it's unclear. Everything about this situation is unclear as payment processors put pressure on platforms like Steam and Itchio to remove more and more adult content; even when it's very much legal and art, like my game is. It may end up that the game comes out but has no sex in this version, it's a very real possibility. (If that happens, I'll have to ramp up the romance and heavy petting...)

TLDR: Work on the game has paused until I can finish the Solanaceae comic and see how Steam's policies might change in the future. This game is not canceled in any way.

I have been slowly but surely working on this game behind the scenes. (Patrons of mine have already seen all the sex scenes completed, woo-hoo!) Game dev is very much not my full time job, so I only dedicated about one day a week to it, but it was doing small stuff like finishing art for the game, tweaking dialogue, or just doing some sprite work. I had even passed off the game to an assistant to hopefully finalize another update for the Halloween season: but as things are now, I don't feel comfortable continuing to pursue another Early Access release, considering just how much time it takes out of my work week for nothing (monetarily) back.

I have to focus on finishing the main comic of this series first and foremost. I can't put time aside for another Early Access release; since I don't plan on monetizing any Early Access version of this game. I have to focus on stuff I know will pay the bills. This game was one I know won't make me much money at all once it's released (this is very much a passion project) so it isn't smart for me to continue to put time aside for it, even if it's a small amount of time.

This doesn't mean I am stopping work on the game entirely though; if I have time during a week and want to work on it, I will. But, I'd decided to stop trying to plan for bigger development time or new release until the Solanaceae comic itself is wrapped up. By that point, I know I will need to finish the story for my own sake and the sake of fans and am hoping to put out the planned Early Access update and totally finish the game once the book omnibus crowd fundings are complete.

To some of you, these words are going to be meaningless because you've already given up on the game being complete and hey, that's okay. The game isn't for you then! The game is for me and the fans of Battam and Sal who want to see where the story ends up. I think was just a little too eager getting the page for the game up in the first place. I was excited! I like this story and I love these characters. But, I know how I should have waited to put anything out, because it messed with some people's expectations of what I could reasonably do.

I still believe, and I've got a pretty good track record of finishing stuff, even if it takes a while. To those of you willing to wait and who have left me feedback on how I can improve the game: thank you! I see you and I do write down your feedback to try and implement as much of it as I can.

Hang in there everyone and I hope to see you again sooner rather than later.

also one way to look at this: This bill is comparable to a US version of europe's Chat Control proposal

so it needs to be taken seriously
