I am covering EVERY First Person Shooter EVER made in Japan.

From 1985 to 2025, that's over 40 years and 70 games of gaming history.

This was without a doubt the most ambitious video I've ever made.

I got to participate in a contest for the upcoming game #Wildcard by Playful Studios! I got to do Three illustrations for its summon characters! They were a lot of fun to do!

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

Tragic part is I actually did have some stuff on this last person’s wishlist, but I am actively using all of those items so that’s a no go

Messaging people for NC item trades when I have nothing on their wishlist like “I can give you a case of cardboard boxes and a fortune cookie”

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily

If you love a manga you can only read through scanlations, buy a JP copy if you can! These stories live and die by sales, so if they're not selling, they're ending. Bookwalker and Kobo (currently) aren't region locked digital stores, so it's a relatively simple way to keep the stories running.

Spooky bird stories. Last year's Halloween comic.

A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??"
In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!".
In panel 3, a screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!".
In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".

This is "debanking", and its a problem that has plagued sex workers for decades. It isnt right when its targetting sex workers and its not right when its targetting game devs and creators either.

Give paypros and your givt reps your grievances and demand that debanking of adult content stop

Per Reddit: Steam adult developer in the UK is sitting on a USD equivalent of six figures, can’t find a bank to take his money because the developer creates adult games

I develop adult video games on Steam. I can't find a bank that will actually let me withdraw my money from Steam. Can I get some advice?
Game has sold quite well on Steam. I've got almost £90,000 ready to withdraw after Steam's cut + VAT taken off.

However, it's been 2 months now and I can't find ANY bank in the UK who will let me withdraw my money from Steam.

I've been banned/refused/unable to get a business account with:

Wise
Revolut
Monzo
Monese
Chase
Starling
Nationwide
Halifax
Barclays
Lloyds
RBS

It always comes down to, "Where did you get this money from?"

"It's coming from games I sell on Steam."

"Can we see the store page?"

"Sure."

"I'm sorry, we can't do business with you at this time."

It keeps coming down to a commercial decision purely because I make adult content.

What the hell am I supposed to do? I've pretty much exhausted the whole banking system. I just want to be able to be paid for products I've sold.

This is the best content ever

Mahogany @mahoganytooth.bsky.social · 1d

apparantly this is only half true. but the best part is the full truth is INFINITELY funnier

DANCER HAS POSITIONALS NOW BABY

Additional Optimisation

There are a few notes worth covering about Quantum and the targeting of the boss

1. Addle, Feint and Dismantle can be applied to either boss regardless of Vengeance.

2. DOTS STOP TICKING WHEN SWAPPING.

3. Pets will not retarget after Swapping.

The Shitty Aoe Priority...

Certain jobs just get gut punched in quantum.

Any Skill, that is an untargeted Aoe with falloff Damage will hit only one of the Bosses of Max damage, depending on where you are standing in the Arena.

This applies to:
Dancer's Steps (60%)
Monks Blitzes (35%)
Viper Reawaken (65%)
Warrior Primal Wrath (50%)
Gunbreaker Double Down (15%)

This means, these jobs need to constantly pay attention to their location and current Vengeance, especially when entering bursts.

Thankyou SE...

Thread (read all the posts) and quite true. Just ASK animal-related groups that are local: "I'm struggling, do you know of any pet food banks/options around?" because they usually have contacts and might run one themselves.

Krista D. Ball: Canada's Snarky Potato @kristadb1.bsky.social · 22h

Gentle reminder: I am seeing more "I cannot afford pet food" posts & if you might face this in the near future/now, I recommend checking your local area's subreddit and posting if anyone knows of local programs for pet food. Many areas have small under-the-radar charities that give out pet food.
