I think Alan should never have trusted CN and Warner Bros because it lessens the chances of Villainous continuing...I mean since 2019 after the pilot episode came out, they don't release new content every 2/3 years and by force, many people leave the fandom and this risks the fact that Villainous will be canceled one day or another despite the fact that this show has a lot of potential and that it was popular in 2017-2019. (I hope I'm wrong but it can unfortunately be very likely if they continue at this rate!) The best thing is that Alan should have done like Vivziepop or Daria Cohen for example to make Villainous an independent series and could release the episodes once it's ready!
Uhm it's not so easy, anon. Not all animation is the same, some productions cost more than others, and also having internet presence beforehand like Viv's case helps a lot. Alan had absolutely none. He couldn't just release his shorts on YouTube on some random account and hope that it somehow got popular. There wouldn't be TV shows if it was that easy xD Besides, it's not like YouTube pays enough for a full blown animation production. They need to take donations (kickstarter, patreon) or sell merch, and you're entirely dependent on the audience and marketing, so it's not a safe bet. Even then most of the times it's not enough, animation costs A LOT if you want it to be of the same quality as Villainous is, for example. Also, Alan's dream was to have his show on CN bc that's what he watched as a kid.
There's no better or worse choice when it comes to animation, there are just choices with pros and cons. It's not an easy world at all, much less now. So all we can do is support the shows we like and they'll continue.
#villainous#nightfur talks#youtube is actually very bad for animation btw#productions there survive bc of donations#and theyre very limited#for example only in one language#youtube only works when you post consistently and that doesnt work w animation#taking vivs example hazbin hotel switched from youtube to tv#so yeah#choice between quality but tons of obstacles#or freedom but limit in budget and quality

So, a friend was venting about this in the Discord Server, and the result was an interesting discussion about disability in 40k. And I don't know how much it might have been originally purposeful, but I do know that later authors have definitely explored how characters interact with the world and with disability.
To ignore disability in 40k is to miss a huge aspect of the setting and it's characters.
In the grimdarkness of the future, you'll probably lose a body part.
There is a post somewhere on Tumblr that talks about how, if you need glasses/contacts/surgery to see properly, you have a disability. And there were a lot of people who were upset by this, saying that it was so common, how could it be a disability? But they're right - glasses or contacts are disability aids. A simple one to use, sure, but it's still an aid.
I bring this up because in our current day and age, needing glasses/contacts is not considered unusual. You don't see someone with glasses at the grocery store and be like "omg what is even going on."
And I feel like this attitude is to any sort of prosthetic/augment in 40k. There's definitely a discussion to be had about the quality of the prosthetic/augment, and how that can show class differences (which is very much a common theme in 40k), but their existence and seeing people with them is not unusual.
There are also many parts of the narrative that does deal with the issues that arise from this. Maintenance, malfunctioning, replacement, sometimes phantom pain. There are a few people whose bodies reject the prosthetic/augment, and so their disability becomes more severe.
It is also brought up that, in more idyllic sci-fi, this is less visible. There can be many reasons for that. I think it was part budgeting reasons that in The Empire Strikes Back Luke's hand looks so surprisingly like skin. I'm sure part of that inspiration came from the desire to not want to have to deal with an extra costume issue for the future.
I wonder how often in live-action sci-fi that this was done. Or throwing a glove on a hand like Luke does in Return of the Jedi to hide that his fake skin on his hand was damaged.
But Warhammer started out with written descriptions and drawn illustrations, which gave a huge amount of freedom to imagining how the world would look. They were only limited by a writer's ability to describe a scene, or an artist's ability to draw it. There wasn't the restrictions of what practical effects could do for live action, or budgeting, or Actual Physics. Prosthetics/augments could be wild and crazy and common.
Time has gone on. We now have animated episodes and so many video games, and characters having prosthetics/augments are a part of the setting. At this point, it would honestly feel weird to look at a group of people (and this includes space marines out of armor) and not see at least a few people who have something.
It's as common to us as wearing glasses, and it sure as hell ain't virtue signalling.
#iapetus talks 40k#cw ableism#this is already getting long but I didn't even get into the PHENOMENALLY LONG list of characters who are disabled and also a badass#people can be disabled and also badasses#these things are not mutually exclusive

Apropos of nothing in particular and also several annoying things that always seem to come back,
absolutely nothing ever needs to happen in a story.
This isn't even about Watsonian justifications for Doylist bullshit, like she's gotta be naked because she's solar-powered, or whatever. Or not entirely. That's a part of it. But it's a broader category. It's "maybe that woman just wasn't gay in that writer's mind, it would damage the integrity of the character to just ~change~ her for ~woke~" It's "maybe the black guy died because that was the natural end of his story" It's "it wouldn't make sense to have disability in this world because they have healing magic"
It's this idea that a story has some kind of intrinsic, inviolable integrity of its own, that it can make choices for itself outside the minds of the people writing it and those choices are worthy of respect and of more importance than the impact of that story on the very real people involved in creating or reading/watching/playing it.
It should be self-evident that this is not true in a collaborative medium. Maybe the integrity of the character means this is a childfree action hero but now your actor is pregnant. Maybe the natural conclusion of the arc was a huge party setpiece but there was a budget issue and a fire on the lot and now you can only afford a bottle episode. Maybe it wouldn't make sense for the warrior to survive his wounds, but the player might have no other tank in the party and so he has to be available for the final fight.
And so suddenly, magically, what was intended is easily compromised. The warrior gets unexpected help from an old ally, making the injury survivable. The characters never make it to the party and spend the whole episode trying to fix their car at a gas station. The hero somehow gets in-universe knocked-up! And the story is totally derailed, and everyone involved just deals with it and makes the new path as believable and honest as possible because that is the most basic level of competence required from a professional writer.
What is less evident but no less irrefutable is that this applies just as much to a true, one-creative auteur project. There was an outline but the hard drive got bricked. There was an essential character-building plot point but the author foolishly did enough research to realize it wouldn't work. The author has experienced a Lifechanging Perspective-Altering Event and decided they can no longer conscience redeeming the villain, even though it would be out of character for the hero not to try. And now they must work around it. The narrative must adapt to the new goal, the new resources, the new context in which it is created.
Shit happens. Stories change. If you are genuinely incapable of writing a story of just as much quality and honesty when you are presented with an unexpected "you can't do this" or "you must do that," if you genuinely cannot create a work of art that has value and power when you do not have absolute freedom, I am afraid the problem is not the limits, it is that you simply suck at writing.
In fact, the true argument being made with "maybe the story just ~had~ to go that way" is not that an author cannot work around limits; it is that the particular limit being objected to is not one that an author ever should be asked to work around. EG, the boobplate is out of character, but it has a financial reason, "sex sells," and that is acceptable. Making the deuteragonist bi even though the devs originally designed him as straight doesn't actually change anything about the story, but that has a woke reason, "letting queer gamers experience the same story as straight ones," and that is not acceptable. It is not genuinely a discussion of the requirements or integrity of the storytelling process; it is the exact same tired old conflict about whose benefit and whose harm should be centered, in storytelling as in everything else.

The new Flemish government clearly wants to invest in education: the education budget will grow by half a billion euros a year, mainly in order to boost the quality of education.
Knowledge of Dutch is a priority for the new Flemish government. Non-Dutch-speaking parents who refuse to learn Dutch will lose their school grant. The language level requirements for newcomers will also be raised.
Minimum targets are being introduced for pre-schoolers and will include language targets.
At the end of kindergarten teachers meeting in the class council will decide whether a child is ready for the 1st grade. Parents cannot override that judgement, but they can appeal the decision.
In primary education, half the teaching time will go on maths and Dutch.
Minimum targets for Dutch in primary education will have to be met by every pupil, rather by pupils as a group.
Secondary schools are given more freedoms
Use of ‘differentiation hours’ in first grade will be ‘optimised’. This allows schools to choose whether to fill them in with general or practical or technical subjects.
The government wants to support vocational and technical education and will increase operating funds.
Teacher shortage addressed
The new administration also wants to make the job of teacher more attractive and reduce administrative hassle.
An extra budget for teacher training is being brought in as well as extra resources to make teachers more proficient and improve the quality of education.
New teachers starting the job will receive full pay while they will spend only 80 per cent of their time in front of a class. The rest of the time will be used to provide teacher guidance to them.
Options for leave will be scrutinised and the number of secondments from education will be reduced.
Schools will get more financial flexibility.
Special training will be provided for teachers entering the sector from other professions.
So called ‘teaching study days’ will be abolished to maximise teaching time.
Smartphones discouraged
Other measures include:
An additional 400 million euros will be freed up for a second major digital leap.
A smartphone ban is being introduced in primary education. This will also become a recommendation for secondary education.
Philosophical subjects, such as religion and ethics, will be replaced by a new subject, ‘interfaith dialogue’, in community education, i.e. state schools.
Big investments in well-being too
Extra cash should guarantee flexible and affordable childcare. Creating extra places is ‘an absolute priority’ for the new government.
At present, no additional action is planned to reduce the number of children per attendant.
The toddler’s grant is being abolished.
The government is also providing more cash to tackle waiting lists in health care and to improve care for the elderly.
The basic 'Growth Package' (formerly called child allowance) will be index-linked.
Income limits for social allowances (allowances for families with limited income) will be phased out. Nothing will change for current beneficiaries. The intention is to apply the new system to new entrants from 2026.
The new government also plans to focus on preventing eating disorders and addictions.
It also wants to prioritise environmental health by taking measures ‘on climate and health and environmental quality of life’. Issues to be tackled include air pollution, noise pollution and harmful substances like PFAS, asbestos and heavy metals.

Jake Seal Explains How Film Directors Adapted to the Streaming Era
The streaming era has revolutionized the entertainment industry, reshaping how films are produced, distributed, and consumed. Renowned film producer Jake Seal has keenly observed these changes and offers insights into how film directors have successfully adapted to this new landscape.
Embracing Digital Technology
One of the most significant shifts in the streaming era is the widespread adoption of digital technology. Directors now leverage advanced digital cameras, editing software, and visual effects tools to create high-quality content that can compete with traditional theatrical releases. This technological evolution has democratized filmmaking, allowing directors with limited budgets to produce visually stunning films and reach a global audience.
Storytelling for Diverse Audiences
With streaming platforms catering to a global audience, directors have had to diversify their storytelling approaches. They now create content that resonates with various cultures and demographics. This shift has led to a rise in international collaborations and the exploration of unique narratives that might not have found a place in the traditional film industry. By embracing diverse storytelling, directors can appeal to a broader audience, ensuring their films gain traction on streaming platforms.
Navigating Data-Driven Decisions
In the streaming era, data plays a crucial role in decision-making. Directors can now access extensive viewer data, providing insights into audience preferences and viewing habits. This data-driven approach allows directors to tailor their content to meet audience demands, enhancing the chances of their films becoming hits. Understanding what resonates with viewers enables directors to make informed choices about casting, plot development, and marketing strategies.
Experimenting with Formats and Genres
Streaming platforms have also encouraged directors to experiment with different formats and genres. Streaming services offer flexibility unlike traditional cinema, where runtime and genre conventions can be restrictive. Directors can create episodic content, short films, or full-length features without the constraints of theatrical release schedules. This freedom has led to innovative storytelling and the exploration of niche genres, providing audiences with diverse content.
In conclusion, the streaming era has presented film directors with new challenges and opportunities. By embracing digital technology, diversifying storytelling, leveraging data, and experimenting with formats, directors like Jake Seal have successfully navigated this evolving landscape, ensuring their films resonate with modern audiences.

Many game designers are highly skilled, yet CRPGs are often underwhelming compared to tabletop RPGs. Why is that?
There are several reasons why CRPGs (Computer Role-Playing Games) may not always live up to the experience of tabletop RPGs (Role-Playing Games played with pen and paper):
Freedom and Flexibility: Tabletop RPGs often offer more freedom and flexibility in terms of player choice and actions. In a CRPG, the game is limited by the programming and design, which can restrict player agency.
Social Interaction: Tabletop RPGs are typically played with a group of friends in-person, which allows for more social interaction and collaboration. CRPGs, on the other hand, are played solo or online, which can lead to a more solitary experience.
Imagination and Creativity: In a tabletop RPG, players use their imagination to create their own worlds and scenarios. CRPGs are limited to pre-programmed environments and interactions, which can limit the player's creativity and imagination.
Rules and Mechanics: Tabletop RPGs often have more complex and nuanced rules and mechanics that allow for deeper character development and roleplaying. CRPGs may simplify these mechanics to make them more accessible, which can lead to a less immersive experience.
Storytelling: Tabletop RPGs are often driven by the players' own creativity and storytelling, while CRPGs rely on pre-written scripts and narratives. This can make the story feel less personal and engaging.
Overall, while CRPGs can offer a lot of fun and entertainment, they may not always match the depth and richness of the tabletop RPG experience.
Despite the high skill of game designers, many CRPGs are extremely underwhelming. Why is that?
There could be several reasons why some CRPGs are underwhelming, despite the high level of skill possessed by game designers:
Technical Limitations: Creating a CRPG can be a complex and challenging process, and technical limitations can affect the final product. For example, the game may suffer from performance issues, bugs, or glitches that affect the gameplay experience.
Limited Resources: Game developers may have limited resources, such as time, budget, or manpower, which can affect the quality of the final product. A rushed development schedule or lack of funding can lead to a game that is underdeveloped or incomplete.
Poor Design Choices: Even skilled game designers can make poor design choices that negatively impact the game's quality. For example, the game may have a poorly designed user interface, uninspired gameplay mechanics, or an uninteresting storyline.
Failure to Innovate: CRPGs can suffer from a lack of innovation, as developers may rely too heavily on existing formulas and fail to bring anything new or exciting to the table. This can lead to a game that feels stale and unoriginal.
Market Pressures: Game developers may also face market pressures to release games quickly, which can result in games that are rushed and underdeveloped. Additionally, developers may feel pressure to make a game that appeals to a wide audience, which can result in a game that is watered down or lacks depth.
Overall, creating a successful CRPG requires a combination of technical skill, creative vision, and careful planning. When any of these factors are lacking, the final product may be underwhelming.
I wrote an essay on the problems game designers can run into when creating CRPGs. In the essay, there were several points that I believe were novel ideas (hence the essay). Can you guess at what novel ideas those could have been?
As an AI language model, I am not capable of reading your essay, but I can suggest some general ideas that could be considered novel in the context of CRPG design:
Emphasis on Player Agency: Giving players more control over their character's actions and decisions, as well as the world around them, can lead to a more engaging and immersive experience.
Focus on World-building: Creating a rich and detailed game world, with a deep lore and history, can add to the player's sense of immersion and investment in the game.
Non-Linear Storytelling: Allowing for more player choice and branching story paths can make the game feel more personalized and unique to each player.
Deeper Character Development: Providing more depth and nuance to the player's character, such as through complex relationships and moral dilemmas, can add to the player's investment in the game and sense of agency.
Meaningful Player Choices: Giving players choices that have significant consequences in the game world can add to the player's sense of agency and make the game feel more impactful and meaningful.
These are just some general ideas that could be considered novel in the context of CRPG design. It's possible that your essay explored some other unique ideas that I haven't mentioned here.
Shieldfoss here, this isn’t part of the dialogue: Do those strike you as novel? Anyway, here’s how we continued:
Allow me to clarify: The ideas were novel in the sense that they suggested problems that had not previously been examined. Can you take a guess at what novel problems there might be?
Sure, here are some potential novel problems related to CRPG design that could be explored in an essay:
Balancing Complexity and Accessibility: CRPGs can be very complex and deep, but developers must also balance this with making the game accessible and enjoyable for a wide audience. Finding the right balance between complexity and accessibility can be a challenge.
Managing Player Expectations: Players may have high expectations for a CRPG based on marketing materials or previous games in the series, and meeting these expectations can be difficult for developers. Managing player expectations while still delivering a great game can be a challenge.
Achieving Replayability: CRPGs are often designed to be played multiple times, but achieving true replayability can be challenging. Developers must find ways to make the game feel fresh and engaging each time a player plays it.
Designing for Multiple Platforms: CRPGs are often developed for multiple platforms, such as PC, consoles, and mobile devices. Designing a game that works well on all platforms while still delivering a great experience can be challenging.
Avoiding Over-reliance on Tropes: CRPGs often use common tropes and conventions, such as fantasy settings or character archetypes. However, relying too heavily on these tropes can lead to a game that feels unoriginal or stale. Finding ways to innovate while still staying true to the genre can be a challenge.
These are just some potential novel problems related to CRPG design that could be explored in an essay. It's possible that your essay explored some other unique problems that I haven't mentioned here. Shieldfoss here, this isn’t part of the dialogue: So I’m not gonna punk ChatGPT for not guessing what I saw when writing that essay, but I am gonna feel happy to know the essay was novel enough that nothing similar appears in the training corpus.

F-20 Tigershark: an F-5 with steroids
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 12/03/2023 - 22:46 in History, Military
The F-20 Tigershark was a high-level, elegant and robust jet fighter, created to enhance the F-5 model. Northrop Corporation developed it in the 1980s, making it remarkable with advanced avionics, state-of-the-art weapon systems and a powerful engine, reminiscent of a steroid F-5 jet fighter.
It was really an aviation wonder that crossed the line and raised the standards. However, despite being positioned as an important player in the global jet market, military customers did not accept it and the program had to be filed.
The F-20 Tigershark was an updated version of Northrop Corporation's F-5 Freedom Fighter, designed to be a light and affordable jet fighter that could be exported internationally. Northrop had plans to sell to countries such as Taiwan, South Korea and others who were looking for a modern fighter that would fit their budget.
One of the outstanding features of the F-20's design was its fly-by-wire digital control system, allowing exceptional handling and maneuverability. It also included a more robust engine than its predecessor, providing greater speed and better climbing capabilities. In addition, the F-20 incorporated some stealth features to reduce its radar cross-section and used materials that absorbed the radar.
Any buyers?
The F-20 Tigershark completed an extensive flight test program during development. In August 82, the first prototype flew from Edwards Air Force Base in California, reaching 20,000 feet and Mach 1.4 on its 35-minute maiden voyage. In the following months, the prototype underwent handling, performance and system tests. In November, it reached Mach 2.05 during a maximum speed attempt, in addition to discreet demonstrations of avionics, weaponry and stealth in flight.
youtube
In addition to the tests in the US, the F-20 also had demonstrations in countries such as South Korea and Switzerland to boost sales. High-speed performance, high-G curves, low-level flights and handling impressed potential buyers during these demonstrations.
Overshadowed by the competition
The F-20 Tigershark project faced a variety of challenges that eventually led to its cancellation. The intense competition in the global jet fighter market was a key factor, as the F-20 encountered strong competition from other popular models such as the F-16 and Mirage 2000. Many potential buyers have opted for these established projects, considered safer and more reliable.
Political pressure also contributed to the fall of the F-20. The U.S. government was concerned that the F-20 could reduce the price of the more expensive F-16, produced by General Dynamics, an American company. In addition, there were concerns about the sale of advanced military technology to certain countries, such as Taiwan, one of the main potential buyers of the F-20. This damaged Northrop's marketing efforts and led to limited sales.
Economic factors also played a role at the end of the program. Northrop invested heavily in the development of the F-20, but without significant requests, it was unlikely that this investment would be recovered. In addition, the high cost of production made it difficult to compete with other established models that had already achieved economies of scale.
FX Program
Much of the development of the F-20 was carried out under a U.S. Department of Defense project called "FX". FX sought to develop fighters that would be able to combat with the latest Soviet aircraft, but excluding sensitive frontline technologies used by U.S. Air Force (USAF) aircraft.
FX was a product of the Carter government's military export policies, which aimed to provide foreign nations with high-quality equipment without the risk of U.S. frontline technology falling into the hands of the Soviets. Northrop had high hopes for the F-20 in the international market, but the policy changes after the election of Ronald Reagan meant that the F-20 had to compete for sales against the newer variants of the F-16 and not with the F-16/79 downgraded.
The F-20 Tigershark program was abandoned in 1986 after three prototypes were built (two of which fell after their pilots fainted due to excessive g-forces) and a partially completed quarter.
youtube
The cool promotional video of the F-20 above was made in the 1980s and presents an introduction of the super ace Chuck Yeager, the first pilot to break the sound barrier, who at the time was a spokesman for Northrop.
In his autobiography, which he wrote after the F-20 was canceled, Yeager praised Tigershark as being "magnificent".

What Are The Benefits Of White Label SEO?
An agency that offers SEO services to its clients under its own brand but, in reality, employs a third-party agency to fulfil the task is called a White Label SEO agency. This arrangement is effective in filling skill gaps, offering a wide range of services, and helping meet the client's demands. An SEO agency in Singapore often collaborates with businesses to help them achieve their SEO objectives. They can also act as your White Label SEO provider to help you offer required SEO services to your clients.
8 Benefits of White Label SEO
White Label SEO has its own merits. Let's discuss the various benefits of White Label SEO.
Expertise
SEO is not just limited to adding relevant keywords to your website content. It is much more than that. An SEO agency has in-depth knowledge of the critical ranking factors that help a piece of content rank high on SERP for relevant search queries. They can analyse a website and help develop strategies to boost its SERP rankings for relevant searches. As a White Label SEO provider, they can use their in-house team’s expertise to help you offer your clients the needed SEO services.
Use of software and tools
An SEO agency utilises various tools and technologies to offer various SEO services to its clients. If you lack the budget to invest in all the advanced SEO tools and technologies, you can collaborate with a White Label SEO provider. It will help you enjoy the benefits of using these tools and technologies without bearing additional expenses.
Helps save time
Outsourcing your SEO needs can save you time. All your SEO efforts are quite time-consuming, from developing strategies to creating SEO-optimised content to performing various link–building activities. As a result, consistent SEO efforts often take almost 6 months to show noticeable results on SERPs. When you outsource SEO services, it will help save time, which you can use to offer other marketing services to your clients or even acquire new clients.
Helps save money
Another benefit of outsourcing SEO services is that it helps you save the burden of hiring additional resources and the associated additional expenses.
Achieve scalable outcomes
Businesses prioritise improving SEO and growing their organic web traffic. Outsourcing SEO services to a White Label SEO provider helps you access a team of skilled SEO professionals that offers scalable results at an affordable price.
Avoid commitment
Another significant benefit of outsourcing SEO services is that it allows you the freedom to collaborate with the SEO team according to your client's needs without committing to fully employing them. As a result, if you are working with multiple clients, you will need to work with a comparatively larger team to provide effective services. In this regard, working with a White Label SEO provider is beneficial. Further, if the SEO needs lessen temporarily, you can utilise their fewer services without needing to commit to a larger team.
Reporting
Monitoring key SEO metrics is crucial to measure the performance of SEO efforts. Based on the results, SEO professionals make data-driven decisions to modify their strategies. Analysing different metrics and creating a comprehensive SEO report is quite time-consuming and requires a certain level of expertise. Partnering with a White Label SEO provider will relieve you from the duties of reporting. Instead, your White Label SEO provider will provide you with a detailed report to help you and your clients understand the impact of their SEO strategies.

Today I'm Gonna Play: Ys IX: Monstrum Nox
I've seen Ys pop up often as people's top JRPGs. I've never played them before, so I jumped into the latest entry blind to what this series offers.
Talking of combat first, the first thing this game reminded me of was Tales of Arise; having skills by pressing button combinations, dodging, on screen encounters, and having a party based system where you could switch characters. It felt extremely snappy and satisfying, and I loved unlocking new skills be it from getting them as I fight, or from shops. It's an easy system that's fast-paced which is also great when you want to play something simple and shut your brain off for a bit.
There are also raids included, which have a tower defense mechanism to ensure you survive hordes of enemies while protecting a crystal, or to collect X number of item in a time limit. It gets quite chaotic but is manageable with the use of upgrades. This adds a nice variety to combat so that it does not get monotonous. Aside from that, the game seems to have a superpower motif going on, allowing you to traverse in different ways such as parkouring or gliding, or accessing hard to get places, as well as some combat abilities. It was an unexpected but fun touch.
The best qualities I've seen in this game are more finer details that add to the overall Quality of Life. One being how the map system functions. You're able to get a view of your current area AND look at the region map, in which you can look at other area maps because why not, all with the press of a button or two. . The game really encourages exploration in a great way by rewarding you with fast travel unlocks, and new shops or quests. What surprised me the most was that the minimap leaves a decently sized trail as you move around, making backtracking easy as well as marking where you've already been in case the dungeons or areas look the same-ish (or if you're feeling a bit forgetful at the time of playing). It's spoiled the way I see maps for JRPGs in a good way, and I'd love to see more games like this. The second detail I loved was the amount of customization in settings, ranging from gameplay to HUDs, giving the player freedom to truly explore or to be guided. And lastly, being able to save at anytime is quite a game-changer. It's not always easy to find time to game, and priorities are there to handle in real life, so having this feature came in super handy.
The story seems somewhat simple and straightforward. It's quite innocent and doesn't get too deep until the latter half of the game. I'm actually quite surprised how deep the game gets into its lore and politics, and it was simple enough to understand without playing the previous games. There's a nice variety in cast, and side quests actually add lore to them rather than being usual fetch or escort quests.
I also find the character designs to be a plus, most of them are designed quite well without the reliance of fanservice. It was a breath of fresh air! However I did find Renegade's design to be underwhelming with such a muted colour palette. It does fit his personality a bit, perhaps.
Some negatives are the graphical quality of this game. It's the latest entry released just a few years ago, yet it looks much older, and very bland in terms of colour. I had fun exploring the city of Balduq and was amazed at the size and depth of the place, but it definitely lacked some colour or variety that made the place truly interesting. Midway I stopped to look at previous entries' graphics and felt that Ys 8 somehow looked better, but I also read a bit about the developer and didn't realize their impact towards the genre, and that they seem to make more budgeted titles, so I can give this a pass.
Another negative is the music, most songs fit, but only about 2 tracks truly caught my ears, while the rest sound quite generic and akin to typical melodies I would hear in budget JRPGs.
Overall, the game was truly an enjoyable adventure to experience, and I even felt a little sad as I reached the end, bonding with the cast and the city. I'm looking forward to future titles and may check out 8!

The Millionaire Mindset: Unlocking the Blueprint to Financial Freedom
Success is not a matter of luck—it's a result of strategy, determination, and a mindset geared toward wealth creation. Adopting the Millionaire Mindset is the first step toward building your financial future and achieving lasting success. This article will explore practical steps to develop a millionaire mindset and craft a personal blueprint to wealth.
What is the Millionaire Mindset?
The millionaire mindset goes beyond financial aspirations; it’s about how you think, act, and make decisions. It encompasses qualities like resilience, strategic planning, and the ability to adapt. Millionaires focus on long-term gains, embrace calculated risks, and consistently work toward financial freedom while maintaining a growth-oriented perspective.
Steps to the Millionaire Blueprint
1. Shift Your Mindset Toward Abundance
Believing in your ability to create wealth is the foundation of a millionaire mindset. Let go of limiting beliefs like "Money is hard to earn" or "Rich people are lucky." Instead, focus on affirmations like "I am capable of achieving financial success" and "Opportunities are everywhere."
Action Tip:
Practice gratitude daily to appreciate what you have while aspiring for more. This creates a positive cycle of abundance.
2. Set Clear Financial Goals
Millionaires are goal-oriented. Without clear objectives, it’s impossible to measure progress or stay motivated. Define specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals to guide your journey.
Action Tip:
Break long-term goals (e.g., saving $1 million) into actionable steps, such as investing a certain percentage of your income each month.
3. Develop Financial Discipline
The difference between a millionaire and everyone else often comes down to discipline. Millionaires prioritize saving and investing over unnecessary spending. Cultivate habits that align with financial growth, such as budgeting, expense tracking, and avoiding debt.
Action Tip:
Use financial tools like Mint, YNAB, or spreadsheets to track spending and identify areas where you can save.
4. Build Multiple Income Streams
Relying on one source of income limits your potential. Most millionaires diversify their earnings through investments, side businesses, or passive income opportunities.

Action Tip:
Explore ways to monetize hobbies or invest in real estate, stocks, or other assets.
5. Invest in Self-Education
Millionaires are lifelong learners. They constantly seek knowledge about finance, markets, and personal development to stay ahead.
Action Tip:
Dedicate at least 30 minutes daily to reading books, listening to podcasts, or watching videos on financial growth and wealth creation.
6. Embrace Calculated Risks
Wealth creation involves taking risks, but they should be informed and calculated. Millionaires don’t gamble; they research, plan, and act strategically.
Action Tip:
Before investing in any venture, weigh the potential risks and rewards, and prepare contingency plans.
7. Build a Strong Network
Surround yourself with people who inspire and motivate you. Networking with like-minded individuals can open doors to new opportunities and ideas.
Action Tip:
Join professional groups, attend seminars, or participate in online communities to connect with ambitious individuals.
8. Stay Consistent and Patient
Wealth creation is not an overnight process. It requires consistency, patience, and the ability to withstand setbacks. Millionaires understand that temporary failure is part of the journey.
Action Tip:
Celebrate small wins and review your progress periodically to stay motivated.
Key Takeaway: Start Now!
The millionaire mindset isn’t reserved for a select few—it’s a choice you can make today. Start by shifting your beliefs, setting clear goals, and adopting disciplined habits. With a strong plan and unwavering determination, you’ll not only build wealth but also create a legacy that lasts for generations.
Remember: The journey to a million dollars begins with a single step. Take yours now!

Understanding Independent Filmmaking
Independent filmmaking involves creating movies without relying on the mainstream studio systems. Several major players in Hollywood dominate filmmaking, influencing the themes, ideas, and values that movies relay to the viewers. These studio systems have adequate funding to support shooting, editing, and paying popular actors, influencing the success of their films. Independent filmmakers break away from this norm, often working with limited budgets and creating films, popularly known as Indies, with the freedom to be creative and bold. Slumdog Millionaire and Juno are examples of successful indies that significantly popularized the art of independent filmmaking.
Independent filmmaking has several benefits. First, it allows filmmakers to communicate the art and story of the movie to viewers. Mainstream films are primarily commercial, meaning filmmakers focus on maximizing returns and fitting in aspects that popularize their major sponsors. Independent filmmakers are free to express the artistic process of the script and narrative without the pressure of advertising for big companies.
Independent filmmakers can also assemble their desired crew and cast. In studio productions, directors often have to work with relatively popular actors to market their movies. These big names influence the project, and directors are forced to make adjustments to the film to fit the assigned talent. Indies allow filmmakers to choose who to work with, and they do not need to make unnecessary changes to the project.
Indies have a significant cultural impact. Independent filmmakers are bold and have the freedom to express their ideas. These filmmakers focus on diverse societal aspects that mainstream cinemas hesitate to cover. This creative freedom is captivating to the viewers and can influence societal structures, policies, and views to improve the well-being of certain communities.
Despite its benefits and potential, independent filmmaking faces several challenges that can negatively affect a project’s success. First, filmmakers often struggle with limited budgets and resource constraints. A film’s success significantly depends on the quality of shooting equipment and access to high-end locations. It, therefore, becomes challenging to create films that can capture the viewer’s attention and gain popularity in a market where mainstream studio systems operate with significant access to resources.
Besides, indies require aggressive marketing techniques to be successful. The film market is dominated by major studios, meaning independent filmmakers need creative marketing techniques to stand out. Festivals, niche streaming services, and self-distribution are popular platforms filmmakers can utilize, but significant effort is required to enhance a film’s popularity.
There is also an oversaturation of indies in the market, making it challenging for a film to stand out. The ability to express unique ideas freely has inspired various filmmakers to present their projects in the market. Most of the indies that stand out from the rest display impeccable creativity, appropriate timing of their release, and innovative marketing techniques.
Despite these challenges, independent filmmakers can optimize a project’s success by implementing several techniques. One such approach is guerrilla filmmaking, which involves shooting real-life situations without formal permits. While this approach requires discretion and adaptability, it enables filmmakers to capture authentic locations and minimize production costs since they do not need expensive setups.
Crowdfunding and community support can also enhance a project’s success. Filmmakers can engage their audiences in the production process and solicit financial support to execute the project. The local community can contribute to the filmmaking process in several other ways, such as volunteering for acting roles, volunteering to market a film, and facilitating access to their location to help capture events, significantly minimizing production costs.
Lastly, multitasking roles can enhance the success of independent filmmaking. Filmmakers with various skills in the production process can help minimize the project’s costs. Working with casts and crews with diverse skills, including acting, editing, and directing, can also help achieve the project’s success with minimal expenses.

Why Indie Artists Are Choosing to Submit Their Albums on Gaana Without a Distributor
The world of music distribution has transformed dramatically in the last decade, opening up countless opportunities for independent artists. Platforms like Gaana, India’s leading music streaming service, have created a space where artists can showcase their talent and connect with millions of listeners. While traditional methods often required artists to work through distributors, many musicians are now opting to submit their albums on Gaana without a distributor. This approach has proven to be more accessible, cost-effective, and empowering for indie artists. In this article, we’ll explore why this trend is growing and how you can leverage it for your music career.
The Rise of Independent Music
The internet has revolutionized the music industry, making it easier for independent artists to create, market, and distribute their work without relying on major labels or intermediaries. Streaming platforms like Gaana have played a crucial role in this shift. With over 200 million monthly users, Gaana provides a massive audience for musicians looking to gain exposure.
In the past, getting your music onto such platforms often required the help of a distributor. These distributors acted as middlemen, ensuring that your songs were listed on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Gaana. However, this process came with drawbacks—costly fees, loss of creative control, and delays. Today, indie artists are increasingly discovering that they can bypass these hurdles and submit their albums on Gaana without a distributor, retaining full control over their music.
Why Are Indie Artists Skipping Distributors?
1. Cost Savings
One of the primary reasons independent musicians avoid distributors is the cost. Traditional distribution services charge fees for their services, either as a one-time payment or through a percentage of your royalties. For emerging artists with limited budgets, these costs can be a significant barrier.
By learning how to submit their albums directly to Gaana, artists can save money and redirect those funds toward other essential aspects of their careers, such as marketing, recording, and equipment upgrades.
2. Creative Freedom
Distributors often impose certain requirements on the music they distribute, such as file formats, cover art specifications, and even genre categorizations. While these guidelines may seem minor, they can sometimes limit an artist’s creative vision.
When artists submit their albums on Gaana without a distributor, they retain complete control over their work. From deciding how their music is presented to choosing the best timing for a release, the process becomes entirely artist-driven.
3. Faster Releases
Working with a distributor often involves a lengthy submission and approval process. This can be frustrating for artists eager to release their music quickly. By submitting directly to Gaana, musicians can bypass these delays and bring their work to the public much faster.
4. Direct Connection with the Platform
By handling the submission process themselves, indie artists can establish a direct connection with Gaana. This relationship can prove beneficial in the long run, especially when exploring promotional opportunities or gaining insights into listener analytics.
How to Submit Your Album on Gaana Without a Distributor
If you’re ready to take the DIY approach, here’s a step-by-step guide to getting your music onto Gaana:
Step 1: Create High-Quality Music
Before anything else, ensure that your album is polished and ready for release. Invest in professional recording, mixing, and mastering to make your music stand out. Remember, competition on platforms like Gaana is fierce, so quality is key.
Step 2: Prepare Your Album Assets
When submitting directly to Gaana, you’ll need to provide certain assets, including:
Audio Files: Ensure your tracks are in the correct format, typically MP3 or WAV.
Album Artwork: Your cover art should be eye-catching and meet Gaana’s specifications.
Track Information: Provide accurate details for each song, such as title, artist name, and genre.
Step 3: Reach Out to Gaana
Gaana allows independent artists to submit their music directly through their website or by contacting their team. Visit Gaana’s official website and look for their "Contact Us" or "Artist Submission" page. Follow the instructions provided to submit your album.
Step 4: Follow Up
Once you’ve submitted your album, follow up with Gaana’s team to ensure your music is being reviewed. Building a professional relationship with the platform can also open doors for future opportunities, such as playlist placements.
Step 5: Promote Your Album
After your album is live on Gaana, focus on promotion. Share your release on social media, collaborate with other artists, and engage with your audience to maximize your reach.
Success Stories: Indie Artists on Gaana
Many independent musicians have found success by bypassing distributors and submitting their albums directly to platforms like Gaana. For instance, artists in niche genres often struggle to get noticed through traditional distribution channels. By going direct, they’ve been able to carve out dedicated fanbases and achieve recognition.
Take the example of Indian indie artist Rhea Sharma, who released her debut album on Gaana without a distributor. By promoting her music through social media and live performances, Rhea gained thousands of streams within weeks of her release. Her story is a testament to the power of taking control of your music career.
Challenges to Consider
While submitting your album on Gaana without a distributor has many benefits, it’s important to be aware of potential challenges:
Time and Effort: Handling the submission process yourself requires more effort compared to using a distributor.
Limited Reach: Distributors often provide access to multiple platforms simultaneously, whereas submitting directly to Gaana focuses on a single platform.
Learning Curve: Understanding the technical requirements and submission guidelines can take time, especially for first-timers.
However, with persistence and dedication, these challenges can be overcome.
Is This Approach Right for You?
Deciding whether to submit your album on Gaana without a distributor depends on your goals and resources. If you’re an independent artist looking for a cost-effective way to share your music and don’t mind putting in extra effort, this approach is ideal. However, if you prefer a hands-off method or want your music on multiple platforms, working with a distributor might be a better fit.
Conclusion
The growing trend of indie artists choosing to submit their albums on Gaana without a distributor highlights the shift toward greater independence and creative freedom in the music industry. By taking control of the submission process, musicians can save money, maintain their artistic vision, and connect directly with platforms like Gaana.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to expand your reach, submitting your album directly to Gaana is a powerful way to share your music with the world. So why wait? Start preparing your album today and take the next step in your music career.

Unexpectedly, health emergencies can occur at any time, and expenditures can become high very quickly. Health insurance significantly relieves the financial burden, but often there are several costs not covered, which compromise individuals in search of financial options. This is where medical loan come into play: a lifesaver that can offer the support needed during those very hours of emergency.
Definition of Medical Loan
A medical loan is a personal loan that is often used to cover just healthcare expenses. These loans can fund surgeries and treatments, medications for an ailment, and even hospitalization or post-treatment care. Unlike a regular personal loan, medical loans are likely to have approval much faster than the former with terms also more favorable to health-related needs.
Benefits of Medical Loans
Immediate access to the cash
Health emergencies arise and tend to worsen the situation for someone in an instant. An instant medical loan assures access to finances to face any emergency without waiting and allows the person to recuperate rather than cause further stress.
Flexibility in usage
Medical loans work just like any other loan. The difference is that most insurance payouts are directly tied to a particular condition or treatment. A medical loan gives a person the full freedom to use the funds according to the needs. If the person needs to pay for a prolonged treatment that is quite expensive, then rehabilitation therapy can be paid for with the medical loan.
Less paperwork
Application for a medical loan is normally simple to execute. Many lenders give their customers an opportunity to apply online, which lets you upload further required documents online. The less red tape involved means less hassle when it comes to the loan since you will save time in times of emergencies.
Affordable Payment Options
Most medical loans come with unyieldingly flexible repayment tenures allowing for borrowers to select an EMI plan depending on their financial capacity. This ensures that repayment does not put such a heavy burden over a period of time.
No Collateral Required
There is also a repayment scheme for many unsecured medical loans, meaning assets do not have to be scheduled as collateral for medical loans. Consequently, it becomes easier for vast classes of the population who do not own substantial property or assets.
How to Apply for Medical Loans
The online process for applying for medical loans is fairly easy. The following are some of the typical steps:
1. Research lenders offering medical loans and compare the terms that they offer.
2. Confirm as to your eligibility requirements, for instance, the minimum income level and credit score.
3. Make a quick set of documents such as identification proof, salary certificate, and medical estimate.
