@monkey This is surreal

I feel like this is an excellent time to crack out a terrible image I concocted, and inflict it upon the world again

@sun @gettie @twinspin6

@sun It hurts because, on reflection, it's true

My monero node is finally synchronized :xmr:

Took forever since I'm using a piece of shit tower unit from 5 years ago, I hope it doesn't explode

Slasher Movie Idea: A group of Kick streamers on vacation in a small Japanese town are getting killed one by one, with only their VODs as clues to who the killer is. The authorities drag their heels, seemingly on purpose, as signs point to a vengeful samurai ghost stalking the remaining streamers every night after sunset.

I'm thinking Found Footage style, film made of stitched together VODs, chat scroll included.

Finally finished "Beyond Citadel". Jesus what a weird game.

Definitely much more bizarre and melancholy than its predecessor, it also adds a lot mechanically to augment what made the first one good. I think Doekuramori deserves the praise they've been getting, the core essence of Boomer Shooters is encapsulated well, with more than enough of a unique spin to avoid being too same-y with its inspirations.

That said, the final stretch of the game is absolute torture. There's no shortage of supplies, ammo, health shit throughout 70-80% of the game, but at the end they suddenly go bone dry and you have to crawl through level after level, including boss fights, scraping by with the last of your ammunition. For the second-to-last boss fight, I ended up chipping away his health with 8 throwing knives that I kept throwing, dashing it to pick up, retreating, and throwing again for something like 30 fucking minutes. For the very last boss fight I was running in circles to let my health slowly regenerate, then stopping to line up shots with the last handful of bullets in my starter pistol and a combat rifle that was so degraded that nearly 1 out of every 3 shots jammed the weapon.

Still, once you actually beat it, it feels great. But holy fuck the game loves to hand your hand almost all the way there, then suddenly stop and kick you in the balls for good measure.

@suwako @udon NIGGERBALLSの件は全然問題なかったよね。逆に面白いと思ったw

I generally don't know my ass from my elbow when it comes to programming, but today I had an AI write a simple bash script for me, and it was actually really helpful as a learning tool. I generally have low patience for learning groundwork shit, and want to jump straight to some specific thing I want to accomplish here and now. Having an AI write the script for me, I get an object example of something I want done, which I can then study and observe its moving parts... editing it where necessary to fix shit that doesn't quite fit and making it work smoothly.

I know asking an AI to write shit for you is looked down on as a crutch, but for a low-level beginner if used correctly its actually a halfway decent learning tool.

@phnt @hakui @Kyou I would heartily recommend archiving any Pixiv-only content if you want to hold on to it.

If you ever needed more evidence that Pixiv is totally pozzed, their new logo just dropped

@icedquinn Some people they didn't care for gave their game a shout out, the smart money was on "just ignore it and keep making your game"

Selaco devs have decided to get retarded. It's funny when it happens to shit games, but Selaco was actually fun and well made... shame.

I've been doing a little digging into Unifans, and while I agree it has a lot going for it, I have a number of questions about them that remain unanswered.

Finding corporate information about Unifans took some doing, since the site doesn't have anything provided up front. Pulling up WHOIS records on their domain, and the Developer Profile on their iOS app, revealed that the company behind it is "1000353701 Ontario Inc", an otherwise unnamed private corporation referred to by its Corporation Number in the registry, in this case registered in Ontario, Canada.

Dun and Bradstreet also has an entry on the company that lists a Mr. Bing Li as the President and Director of the Board. Trying to search for "Bing Li" in Ontario turned up so many results, it'd be difficult to pin down any one as our man, everything from a PhD level geologist to a couple of investment bankers and more.

None of this is necessarily sinister, but I am very curious about how 1000353701 Ontario Inc can operate Unifans out of Canada while also collecting almost zero information from fans or creators. IANAL, but a brief lookup of KYC/AML laws in Canada makes me think it'd fall under "E-Commerce with Age-Regulated Sales" for any R34 stuff (the example they cite is alcohol, but I think Canada's draconian policies for drawings would apply here).

As things stand, it's perfectly possible for both fans and creators to access the site via VPN, use pseudonyms, pay/withdraw in USDT, and walk away with no paper trail. For the record, I think this is a good thing... I just wonder how the company can have done this since 2022 without any legal repercussions. I'd need to hear from an actual lawyer on this, though, there may be loopholes I'm unaware of.

Right now, though, I'd say hell yeah, use it if you can. Just make sure you're behind 7 Boxxies when you do, and have a backup plan in case they get the banhammer at some point.

Thanks to Crippled Media for bringing this to my attention.

@JustDisa Did a little extra legwork and ran an Exodus Privacy scan on their Android app. Lot of Facebook trackers:

I might recommend people blacklist Facebook domains via something like AdAway before using it. No idea if that breaks functionality, I'll be testing it out a little later today.

In which the recent Conservative heel-turn on waifus and fanservice is better understood by studying the three basic types of people in the world, and how they think and operate.

@nerthos @hakui @vitalis Fortunately or otherwise, practicality almost never factors into Japanese law.

...I feel like this is a bad sign

@sun I thought the artstyle looked familiar. These are the same people who did a collab with Penny Arcade back in the day, where a "sex educator" talks about masturbation & sex toys with one of the PA artist's children:

@sun Requesting sauce, this looks hilarious
