Fabraz - Demon Tides & Bubsy 4D @fabraz.bsky.social · 2d

We just updated the Bubsy 4D Demo! Check out the patch notes below.

- Bubsy 3D's face is now capable of blinking. We have the technology.
- Bubsy 3D's texture no longers becomes nightmare fuel on low quality settings.
- Bubsy isn't as obsessed about how Woolie's smell anymore.
- Dropdown's in the settings don't have an existential crisis anymore.
- Removed language options until Bubsy learns how to speak anything other than English.
- Brought back framerate settings so you can ogle at Bubsy 120 times per second.
- The "Cutscene Skip" toggle no longer prevents you from entering the VR menu. No more excuses, get in the robot Bubsy!
- Added a climbable grid on both sides of the building at the end of "Heartfelt Village" so you don't regret your life choices more than usual.
- We had a talk with the camera man and he promised the camera should now glitch less when hopping around as a hairball and with certain slanted geometry. If it still does, blame him and not us.
- The camera man also told us he'll obey the laws of physics and clip into objects like the felt houses less, which is nice.
- If you're Bubsy look away: Added a new unique death when getting flattened by spiky cars.
- Told the total timer to take up less space and long leaderboard names to abide to its confines. Cheeky things.

I just love how these patch notes are written more akin to a movie set production rather than a bland boring list. It's adding to the Bubsy hype for me. Just what could pawssibly go wrong?!

PS: My last post wasn't about alcoholism or drugs. I'm pretty much straightedge these days; and have not touched drugs in nearly twenty years.

sobriety and clear light sets in. You've made an arse of things and yourself, you're having to do a pretty indepth cleanup job and you realise that actually, certain things are the way they are because they're actually true. That and certain things are actually pretty false and hollow.

Moving away from certain circles / communities for a while. I need to sleep for like three days solid, reset and refocus / reorientate, like, EVERYTHING. Who I am, what I am and why I led to those conclusions. Imagine being hooked up nonstop to something but then...it just gets unplugged, and bam,

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated'

The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

Work. Labour intensive work would absolutely ruin this frippery.

He's tired. The slow, low manner of speech suggests he is unwell. This is not from my usual anti trump platform but pure neutral observation. That man is tired, his faculties are not top and I suspect there is a medical condition here. Unfit to be president.

Because it's not so easy. And it's heartbreaking, seeing it and knowing the torn other side of the story. But there goes I but for the torment of God to turn a particular phrase. So, uh, yea. That's my story, as a former scratcher / wannabie 'artist' who got trampIed, I guess. Thanks for listening.

So amidst the furry community [not even sure I can count myself as part of that - no fursuit for starters, a lesson learnt after ConFuzzled 2018...] I'm just an NPC, in the background I guess. So back to arting drawing etc. Basically, I wish the toxic positivity would just stop stop stop. <c>

Rail the Fennec 🦊 ΘΔ 🦊 @raildusk.bsky.social · 17d

dear reader, was a final nail in the coffin. If a so-called 'talented' / pro artist could see zero value, then why was I wasting the time effort and work? I felt and still feel like barren soil. A plant cannot grow without water or sunlight and that sunlight was nonexistant for me, sad to say. <c>

Rail the Fennec 🦊 ΘΔ 🦊 @raildusk.bsky.social · 17d

using photo references, shading tutorials and the works (this was pre ovid, let alone pre AI). Again all I received was that indifference. Meh. A quick brush off. No genuine positive reaction. Nor any constructive criticism or pointers to improve upon. Politely-made 'managed decline'? And that <c>

Rail the Fennec 🦊 ΘΔ 🦊 @raildusk.bsky.social · 17d

integrate in the furry 'community'. You get the picture. Let her in that I'd been working on Inktober that year as both fun, to beter myself and to maybe develop skills. Showed her, five, six of my best including one of the oh so goregous Penrhyn Castle in north Wales. That one I slaved over <c>

Rail the Fennec 🦊 ΘΔ 🦊 @raildusk.bsky.social · 17d

the know it all will say. Did you not show your friends, ask for likes/shares and do trades maybe? they'll ask. One of the final nails was indeed such an interaction with a semi-professional artist here in the UK. Fursuit, art galore, art events, lgbtq flags, "be kind" - the full regalia to <c>

if you don't get the support base, you are screwed from before the starting line. They say love and hate are opposites but that they at least show action, emotion, reaction. Whereas =indifference= is the real soul killer and that, dear reader, is what I found in shovelfuls. Put your stuff out, <c>

Rail the Fennec 🦊 ΘΔ 🦊 @raildusk.bsky.social · 17d

has got into dire straits So I cannot see it happening anytime soon. So there we go. Toxic positivity at work again? Next time you see someone posting "pick up the pen! You can do it! Anyone can do it!" - kindly remind them, that like all human based political games <c>
