Key art for Lunar Division and Bithell Games' 'The Banished Vault'. The Auriga Vault, an enormous spaceship with a gothic monastery-inspired design, rises up from behind a sun. Smaller ships surround it, and around those, planets and moons of different sizes.

A screenshot from Lunar Division and Bithell Games' 'The Banished Vault' showing part of a 2D, tabletop-game-style map of a solar system. 3D models of gothic-inspired spaceships are on the 'board'; one, the Ariga Vault, is central, and very large. Two much smaller ships wait in front of it to be directed by the player. An annotated lines on the 'board' stretches away from the ships, the start of the route they can take into the solar system.

A large, red, ringed planet is in the centre, with a smaller green-yellow further up. Annotated lines show the routes a ship can take between planets and moons on the map.

The Energy Calculator tool is open, which players can use to work out how much fuel they need for a journey. There are four categories, each corresponding to a set of numbers: Engine Efficiency, Ship Mass, Fuel, and Energy. When the player increases or decreases one section, the rest also increase or decrease accordingly.

okay, folks, i got my phone bill paid but i still need like $400 USD to pay for our badly overdue internet before it gets turned off on the 29th, and we're probably going to need help with rent again too (which is like $1200 USD). So if you want to help, CashApp is $AdrienneLeigh or PayPal is below.

Pay Utilitarienne using PayPal.Me

Go to paypal.me/utilitarienne and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

If youre in Ohio, this is a good thing to contact your state reps about! Explain how awful age verification is as a policy!

Now that they've passed age-verification for porn sites, Ohio legislators want you to scan your face to download a period tracker.

I need to get laser for my face again.
Been putting off because I've had no funds.
But hair is starting to grow back and it's giving me dysphoria.
I really do hate asking for money but it's hard just being trans and trying to survive 💙

If you have funding needs, drop them in the thread below. I'll also be grabbing links that I've missed from previous threads and reposting them.

Today is a good day to meet some people's needs.
