Hey Phoenix! Hey 796!
It’s been a minute since I got in contact with y’all, I’ve been busy, but I saw your chatlogs again (do NOT ask how I keep getting these, it’s not important :3 ) and I have something y’all might enjoy.
…get these to the right person. You might find some evidence you’d enjoy seeing. And don’t tell anybody you got it from me!

// Nice to hear from you again, Intern! Glad to hear they've not fired you just yet. And don't worry too much about hacking our chatlogs, I'm pretty sure Slipshod went in and tampered with our firewalls specifically to let you poke around in there. (Maybe don't tell Upper Management about that, though.) Now, what's all this abou-
// ...!
oh? did our friend at IPS-N send a present?
// ...something like that, yes. Take a look; I've got your six in case Kennedi comes barging in.
...holy RA above and below. I don't know how many people they blackmailed to get access to this kinda information, but these files are legit. heavily encrypted, mind you - I'd recognize that encryption software signature anywhere - but entirely legit. christ-the-buddha almighty, intern, what kinda privileges are they giving you?
// No idea. Can you decode them?
oh, easy - not the first time I've dealt with IPS-N corporate files, won't be the last. should be a higher-difficulty variant on their standard encryption if the pattern follows; I'll have the full document to you in like an hour, tops - maybe two if they've updated their encryption software since last time, which I highly doubt
// Your skill with hacking never ceases to amaze me, Slipshod. How the hell did HORUS let you go so easy?
look, when a HORUS cell splinters, it leaks a lot of incredibly talented people into the ether. it's just a matter of knowing which (if any) of those people have some actual merit, or if they're all useless dipshits who can't function outside of their gamer rig. if none of the other nearby cells are smart enough to ask you to stick around, that's their loss. you're lucky I wound up here at MSMC, instead of with one of the other big 4 members. (they certainly wouldn't have such outdated encryption software anymore, in any case)
// Fair enough, I guess. Thanks a lot for this, Intern - we've got some serious thinking to do.
-- Angel & Slipshod
#lancer rpg#lancer ttrpg#lancerrpg#// you think it's safe to show Kennedi these? she's not a huge fan of IPS-N; but she doesn't talk a lot of shit about them either#+ are you kidding me? FUCK no; she'll flip her shit the minute she finds out one of the corpo interns is using us as whistleblower proxies#+ we gotta keep this shit on the down-low or all of our asses are cooked; K included#+ back in the HORUS days this would have been no issue; but we're actively working for MSMC - this is straight-up corporate sabotage here#// can't imagine Legal would take it well if they found out what kinda dirt we had on us right now... Christ-the-Buddha almighty what a mes#// ...you figure [REDACTED] might want a look at all of this once we've cracked it?#+ I ain't quick to trust union P; you know this - that being said they're probably our most direct route to seeing this info put to use#+ (note that I said most direct - NOT safest)#+ lemme get this shit decrypted first; then we'll talk#correspondences with: IPS-N Intern

ao3 post has me curious and i cant seem to find anything on it- could you perhaps point me in the right direction here? if not thats alright, can just keep looking (have a nice day/night btw! ^^)
it be this
if its a little too much to understand (trust me i know), op replied to someone with a more brief version that helps put things in better place when you reread the thread again
all you gotta do is basically make sure you have backups of your work because ao3 is being a bit urrghrgrg rn
#tl;dr: volunteers have been getting sent CSEM and i thiiink the legal team arent doing shit abt it and helping volunteers deal w it#also the site is fucked in the way that the way it removes work doesnt wipe everything and can leave IPs and other sensitive info open#with that (comma) the anti-censorship ppl sending CSEM to volunteers r threatening to send the vulnerable info to places like kiwifarms#(kiwifarms and lolcow i think most especially. basically they love doxxing and swatting for fun)#i read it this morning so it might not be totally accurate so sorry#also sorry for writing this tl;dr in the tags! its a habit but im on my phone and now its a hassle.....im very dunb#its also good to get a personal understanding if the situation w the thread itself#im not very law smart at all so i might have interpreted this all wrong#Anonymous

Test in 2 hours
#I studied for 3 months I should be ok but I’m NERVOUS#it’s $250 to take it and it’s a 2 part test so it’s $500 in total#I’m only taking the first part though. 2nd part is in may#like. I am not worried about knowing the concepts.#I’m worried about the memorization part. they want you to memorize shit you’d never need to know#like the exact speed of every wifi standard. the speed of Ethernet cable generations. the speed of usb generations. ip address classes#lile. stuff that you could look up in 2 seconds or in some cases (like Ethernet) the info might just be printed directly on the cable#you don’t need to memorize this stuff!!! I’m worried I’ll blank out and forget it all#and yes my test is at 10 pm at night because I need to make sure it’s perfectly quiet#or else they’ll invalidate my test and there goes $250

[AoN] PxDN Lore Snippet: R-00 + R-01 Reactivation
Yep, I read Persona x Detective Naoto, and yep, I'm incorporating it into this story. Why? ‘Cause it’s not a bad read, and more importantly it’s got a lot of feasible world lore I can use to enrich the setting, of which I can do all sorts of fun stuff with. Also, Sousei and Sho share a lot of similarities in terms of circumstances and behaviors, so any chance for him and Sholar to cross paths has lots of fun potential as well, even if it's only once.
Anyway, this is just a little snippet from the full AoN-PxDN lore doc that I'm getting straightened-up, 'cause I'm excited about how nicely I got it to fit together. \o/
Spoilers for: Persona x Detective Naoto, Persona 3, Persona 4 Arena/Ultimax, and my fic "Apropos of Nothing" (very mildly though, otherwise I wouldn't be posting it xP)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(For quick reference, the R-series ASSW project spanned from roughly 2006 to 2009, with Sousei's run being from 2007-2008, Ai's spanning 2008-2009, and their endings being Yūri's death and Aigis's reactivation respectively. SEES is first founded in Spring 2006 (being Mit/Aki/Shinji), and P3 happens as normal from 2009-2010. The 7th Gen ASSW project also ended with the explosion & creation of the Dark Hour on Sept 10th, 1999.)
So, several times throughout 2011, Minazuki accesses Ikutsuki's isolated server + the Ergo database server in general, with the first instance of the latter catching the ShadOps/KJG's attention. A bit spooked by the unauthorized access, everything related to Ergo (both current and old) is given a thorough security check, resulting in the discovery of 3 ASSWs sitting around in storage, among other things.
(Note: the database server access happens differently in this AU, so up until now, Minazuki had been accessing the isolated server legitimately via Ikutsuki's whitelisted computer with admin credentials, and then attempted to access the general server with an unregistered device. I still have to learn how databases work though, so I might have to adjust that in the future.)
Pretty much no one seems to know much about this mysterious 5th Gen and two R-series androids, despite there actually being a decent bit on information on-file for the latter once they decrypted it, and so, alongside a bunch of other old Ergo artifacts, the three are shipped out to the Yakushima Ergo quarantine facility for inspection and threat assessment. Some of the staff who were cited to work on the R-series are also contacted by Mitsuru to get further information.
(Note: unlike OG, the transport goes smoothly, because canon-divergence. /o/)
Mr. Tsuge Tetsuma has been employed as a researcher in the Kirijo Ergonomics Robotics Division for a long time now, but more importantly since the R-Series project was abruptly halted and its products stuffed away into storage. Now, he was nowhere near happy about having to leave Sousei and Ai in there for all this time, mind you, but he didn't have the authority nor the opportunity to get them back out of storage on his own, and so it was all he could do to stick with the company until an opportunity might arise. Getting a phone call from Mitsuru provided one such opportunity.
With the aid of Tsuge, the three ASSWs are reactivated and inspected, and once Mitsuru learns that they're not threats and are sentient beings with "hearts" of their own, they're given official rank as auxiliary members in the ShadOps to keep Public Safety from trying to confiscate them on the grounds of being "highly dangerous weapons". And… I guess I haven't figured out the specifics beyond that point yet, like if they actually help out the ShadOps or not. I feel like they might given Sousei’s determination to prove his usefulness and Ai’s desire to help out overall, but Sousei’s determination to have a combat-type Persona might also undermine that? Anyway, Tsuge is also brought into the fold as an official ShadOps researcher and tasked with being the supervisor of the Kurogamis due to his past experiences and relations with them and their creator.
(Fun fact: the reactivation order goes Ai, Sousei, Labrys because they have more information on, and familiarity with, the R-series units than the 5th Gen unit, so there's less risk involved with activating the Kurogamis than there is with Labrys. (Plus, in the event that Labrys ends up being hostile or out of control, the Kurogamis could be called in to help suppress her.) Also, Tsuge knows that Sousei will be rowdier than Ai, so as one of the chief specialists on the team, he's making the executive decision to give the team the ‘easier’ one to start with, lol.)
A year passes (which is what makes up a lot of Sousei's impression of "smoldering away at a lab, not yet fulfilling his mission as a suppression weapon"), and in late 2012 the National Police Agency entreats the KJG for technological aid in civilian safety and law enforcement measures. With the Kurogamis’ robotic physique and Sousei’s Past Reading in mind, this opportunity gets presented to Tsuge and the Kurogamis, of which Tsuge eventually gets Sousei on board with when he learns that they can be stationed at Yagokoro's PD, where Aoi Touko works. Ai didn't really need a ton of convincing, being content to be wherever Tsuge and Sousei are and determined to help out where she can.
(Note: part of the "last year's brutal crimes" is influenced by the Inaba kidnapping and murder cases, as it caused quite a stir across the nation, though the other part is probably more mundane, non-magical crime. Also, other technology and robotics were implemented in other PD's across Japan, but Yagokoro was the only one to make use of ASSWs specifically.)
And from there, PxDN happens more-or-less as normal, although certain events may or may not have Naoto meet the Kurogamis and/or Tsuge before PxDN occurs. It depends on if they end up staying on Yakushima for the whole time or if they go to an Ergo or ShadOps facility on mainland Japan, and furthermore if it happens to be the one Naoto visits or not. Most likely, if they do cross paths at all, it'll be brief, or else an off-handed mention of them by someone else, but I'll have to see as I solidify more of that part of the timeline. P:
Also, Tsuge’s employment with the ShadOps lets him distribute Evokers to Touko and Naoto during PxDN’s events, perhaps special models more recently designed for use outside of the Dark Hour/CoUn, because they really shouldn’t be able to summon their Personas so casually in the conscious world. It’s somewhat believable for when Naoto Awakens to Amatsu Mikaboshi and when she’s trying to save Touko, given the circumstances, but outside of that. :P
#Sholar System AU#Persona x Detective Naoto#Persona series#Lorecrafting: Capricious Style#if something doesn't make sense or is hard to read lmk and I'll see what I can do#The past year solid of research is finally actualizing into cool stuff#I went through so many Persona IPs because there's like no substantial info on Ergo#At least that I can find/access#But at least I can do interesting stuff with all of that info now#Also I guess to clarify; the reason this 'nicely fits' is because the general events were already going to happen to Labby#Of the server discovery and resulting security inspection; plus some other Ergo timeline factors unrelated to Labby#And then I realized that I could apply it to the Kurogamis too given it's not well-clarified what happened to them post-Yuri death#(Or like how Ai was made and fits into this at all...)#And the ShadOps are meant to work with the legal police so the Yagokoro collab could be right up their alley?#So then I started connecting it to other given canon details and hence //gestures#Labby has her own arc to undergo so that'd be why she stopped being mentioned after a certain point#She does work with the ShadOps though but it's in a more passive position?#She's (planned to be - still working on it) stationed in Inaba to keep an eye on things after the lv4 Shadow Activity reading#But it's also kinda Mitsuru being sneaky in giving her a job that lets her live a somewhat more human-style life#Especially because Labby has only been reactivated for a few months#And then later down the line she might take on a more active role but that's super-WIP

What's in your medicine cabinet? ( → @strawberry-barista )
( → send a number and i'll list what my muse keeps in said container !! sent in from a while back; still accepting, though )
— as joshua has been dead for over a decade, and sanae has been absent from the lower planes for about four years, the cabinet in their bathroom is nearly empty, at present. what little is left of its contents are:
a small, half-spent jar of hair wax, a couple of combs, a bin of hair pins, a single, unused toothbrush in a pack of three, an unopened pack of disposable safety razors, and a solitary CAT-designed condom, situated inside a small display case fastened to the back of the cabinet door.

May Whomstever-the-FUCK decided to make it so Internet Routers need a MyFuckin' App to set up the password and security settings step on randomly generated Lego pieces of various shapes and sizes and pain intensities for the rest of their fricken life.
#I just spent TWO HOURS troubleshooting only to be told 'you need an app' over and over#no alternative! it wont LET YOU connect to the IP like ANY OTHER ROUTER would! only app! otherwise BLOCKS YOU!#only to find out for SOME REASON the internet person who came and set it up for my parents#HAD IT ACTIVATED ON THEIR OWN APP!!! So I had to FACTORY RESET IT like THREE TIMES#TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS AND SECURE! MY OWN DAMN ROUTER!!!#Why didn't you have one of the like 7 people here who have phones do it my dude???#We don't want some random person having permissions to our internet!#THIS APP LEGIT GIVES THEM ACCESS TO EVERYTHING TOO#DEVICE INFO#DEVICE BLOCKING#NETWORK INFO AND BLOCKING#LETS YOU DISABLE ACCESS TO CERTAIN WEBSITES AND APPS#A STRANGER SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS INFO!!#also they were rude as shit but thats whatever I really don't care bout you being a bitch#UNLESS YOU BE A BITCH BY MAKING ME SPEND 3 HOURS TRYING TO GET ACCESS TO MY OWN ROUTER CAUSE YOU FOR SOME REASON GAVE IT TO YOURSELF INSTEA#I don't want some rando walking around with a phone that has an APP that lets them DO ANYTHING THEY WANT to our internet#from changing the PASSWORD to disabling the SECURITY FEATURES to telling my mom she can't get on FACEBOOK ANYMORE#not that I think that last one is entirely a bad thing BUT NOT FOR SOME RANDO TO DECIDE#THE AMOUNT OF THINGS I CAN DO TO EVERYONE IN THIS HOUSEHOLD WITH THIS APP IS ALARMING TO THINK ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE HAVING#yes they probably deleted it off immediately but that also doesn't help! me! make sure our router is SECURED. BRO.#anyways I'm Mad why is everything APPS these days why do we need this

#i spent 40 euros to send me host mom from spain some flowers but she would’ve had to pick them up in store#the store should have MESSAGED HER to come get a delivery 😀 BUT I JUST CHECKED MY EMAIL AND APPARENTLY IT SAID IT WAS STILL WAITINF TO BE#PICKED IP 20 HOURS AGO#like ‘oh reminder to pick up your order before the store closes in 30 minutes’#IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SURPRISE I SHOULDNT HAVE HAD TO TXT HER TO PICK ANYTHING UP THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO TELL HER#but now the store is closed sunday and they’ll be wilted by the time she can get them on monday#if she can even get them at all money since she goes to work before the store opens and they’ll close before she gets back#fuck my life that was $45 spent trying to show our thanks to her just down the drain#i fucking hate spanish businesses. i still haven’t heard back from goddamn renfe about getting my $65 back from their system glitch#-> okay i decided to just send her a message like hey did you get a message from this florist yesterday abt a surprise for you to pick up?#hope you managed to get it!#if she says no they didn’t contact her at all i’m gonna fucking lose it#like. my mom is paying me back for this so it’s not money out of my pocket but that’s not the problem#the problem is that we just wanted to express our gratitude for this sweet woman for taking care of me for 5 weeks#and order some lovely flowers for her#and if they just straight up didn’t tell her????#it was her name and number entered for the pick up info… they should have TOLD HER.

new tcg exclusive sounds nice, but Fiendsmith is still likely going to be a problem that wholly overshadows it
#marwospeaking#this one's in reaction to the EU intro for INFO. the new ones are apparently called Mimighoul#honestly the fiendsmiths might be different in performance due to cardpools. We don't have the roach as the biggest example.#but given the jokey “you'd be surprised what you can do with a single Fiendsmith”.. hopes are low as hell on that#we'll see how well White Forest goes in tcg too. I hope they have fun#Moon of the Closed Sky.. at least we know she'll show up. That's the only good part so far in her existence#It's vaguely like IP or SP to me. A link 2 everyone will use if they can spare space and. have a deck that wants it.#so Melodious. Fiendsmith. Snake Eye even#my locals is currently testing out anything that isn't snake eye. I've duelled against Ritual Beast. Infernoid. Chimera. Tenpai. Fire King#(nearly pure Fire King) and Chain Burn or Floodgate Turbo. either or. Salad too sometimes#If my locals manages to pull enough Fiendsmith they might start trying them out. but I doubt any of them are going to go out and just..#.. “I WILL BUY THE FIENDS” because they will be expensive. Its a shame too - the vibe is immaculate when you ignore how broken it is

Project Dragon was a game that was in development for 3 years only to be canceled weeks from its announcement and its entire art and development team laid off. The game (which would have been called 'Everhaven' upon release) was intended to be a multiplayer sandbox rpg taking inspiration from both Minecraft and The Legend of Zelda, with an art style similar to that of the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, which some of the team members also worked on along with Crash Bandicoot 4.
According to character design/illustrator Nicholas Kole "Our cancelled project of the last 3 years is officially, truly dead as of today (internal attempts to save it failed), and the embargo on the whole body of portfolio work has been lifted". This means that the only way the game has a chance of resuming development is by raising awareness and spreading the word of it's development. More info from Nicholas Kole and #BringBackProjectDragon Even if you're not interested in the game itself, you can find the concept art, animations, 3D models, music and all other completed pieces of work for the game being shared by the team at either of these links, and I think are worth checking out. Some mounts and NPCs
4 of the 5 playable starter races (5th being human of course)
Edit: the decision to cancel the game was made by Forte, a blockchain company that acquired Phoenix Labs last year, who later decided to cancel all other projects so that the studio could focus on Dauntless and Fae Farm, Phoenix Labs' other already established games, rather than take the risk with this new IP.
I advise against sending any sort of hate towards Forte or Phoenix Labs and instead recommend continuing to share love for Everhaven and what it could have been until they realize their mistake.
Also thanks for 10k notes.

We've all heard of youtuber/streamer Danny. But what about tumblr blogger Danny. It's mostly just him info dumping, usually about space, nasa, ect.. but eventually he branches out. Sharing information on Martian and Kryptonian culture. Culture he as a kid from a small town in Illinois should *not* know.
Queue Tim finding the blog and joking about an 'unknown' Martian fact to Martian Manhunter. It was in the vein of how one would joke to a vampire about sparkling in the sun. Assumed and typically wrong. But Jon just freezes and ask, "How did you know that?"
Now Tim has to show everyone the blog, and all of them now need to track down the kid who makes these post and find out *how* he knew all this. It's quiet chaos, that only gets worse when Tim tries to track the IP and just hits a green screen. (Tecknus fire wall)
Bruce decides it's time to make a trip to investigate undercover. Once they get a location based roughly on town pictures the kid posted. Tim makes a comment about teaching internet safety quietly.

Google is going to start scraping all of their platforms to use for AI training. So, here are some alternatives for common Google tools!
Google Chrome -> Firefox
If you’re on tumblr, you’ve probably already been told this a thousand times. But FireFox is an open-source browser which is safe, fast and secure. Basically all other browsers are Chrome reskins. Try Firefox Profilemaker, Arkenfox and Librewolf! Alternatively, vanilla Firefox is alright, but get Ublock Origin, turn off pocket, and get Tabliss.
Google Search -> DuckDuckGo
DuckDuckGo very rarely tracks or stores your browsing data (though they have only been known to sell this info to Microsoft). Don’t use their browser; only their search engine. Domain visits in their browser get shared. Alternatively, you can also use Ecosia, which is a safe search engine that uses its income to plant trees! 🌲
Google Reverse Image Search -> Tineye
Tineye uses image identification tech rather than keywords, metadata or watermarks to find you the source of your image!
Gmail -> ProtonMail
All data stored on ProtonMail is encrypted, and it boasts self-destructing emails, text search, and a commitment to user privacy. Tutanota is also a good alternative!
Google Docs -> LibreOffice
LibreOffice is free and open-source software, which includes functions like writing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, formula editing and more.
Google Translate -> DeepL
DeepL is notable for its accuracy of translation, and is much better that Google Translate in this regard. It does cost money for unlimited usage, but it will let you translate 500,000 characters per month for free. If this is a dealbreaker, consider checking out the iTranslate app.
Google Forms -> ClickUp
ClickUp comes with a built-in form view, and also has a documents feature, which could make it a good option to take out two birds with one stone.
Google Drive -> Mega
Mega offers a better encryption method than Google Drive, which means it’s more secure.
YouTube -> PeerTube
YouTube is the most difficult to account for, because it has a functional monopoly on long-form video-sharing. That being said, PeerTube is open-source and decentralized. The Internet Archive also has a video section!
However, if you still want access to YouTube’s library, check out NewPipe and LibreTube! NewPipe scrapes YouTube’s API so you can watch YouTube videos without Google collecting your info. LibreTube does the same thing, but instead of using YouTube servers, it uses piped servers, so Google doesn’t even get your IP address. Both of these are free, don’t require sign-ins, and are open source!
Please feel free to drop your favorite alternatives to Google-owned products, too! And, if this topic interests you, consider checking out Glaze as well! It alters your artwork and photos so that it’s more difficult to use to train AI with! ⭐️
