How just how does anyone do the required edits for publishing an article without smashing their computer into tiny little pieces??????????? The stupid, pointless haggling over every single word, all to make maybe a fraction of a percentage point of difference in the ultimate quality of the article, and often not even clearly making it better at all but arguably worse — what a colossal waste of time!!!! My time, the editor's time, everyone's time!!! It is so frustrating and maddening and so so so so much work!!! When we all have so many better things to do!!! In the days I've now spent arguing over swapping my "remarkably"s for "notably"s — what could I have achieved instead with all that time and energy?!??
#apologies for the rant but this is driving me crazy#this is at the copy editing stage fyi#so i have already done SEVERAL ROUNDS OF SUBSTANTIAL REVISIONS#been working on this paper since spring 2020!!!!#i think i just got unlucky with an unusually involved copy editor#she made 150 changes in 30 pages#and maybe 10% of those are actual copy edits?#the rest are requests for substantial content changes#which i am just not willing to do anymore at this stage#like no i will not explain the history of sentimentalism just bc i mention it in a subsentence#let it go!!#FOUR other people have already reviewed it!!!#LET IT GO

I feel like I make one of these posts every other month and I don’t know how else to explain why reposting is such a shitty thing to do to graphic makers, so I’m going to try this fic analogy that @bartbarthelme once told me was helpful for her in explaining to someone else why it was a shitty thing to do. I am paraphrasing, so I’m sure however Bart did it was much classier:
Imagine you write a fic.
You put a ton of time and effort into it. You tweak it, you work out all the kinks. You make sure everything is exactly as it should be. You log into your AO3 and you post it up for people to read.
Then someone comes along and decides they like it, but instead of sharing a rec link, they copy your entire fic. They paste it into their own account and they re-publish it under their own username. They don’t credit you - not that that would make it any better. They don’t say anything about where the story came from, they just post it up and let it live as if it were their own work. They even interact with the comments. And then, that stolen copy of your work becomes the one people start sharing and reccing, even though your original is still sitting there.
How upset would you be, as the creator of that story? Or on behalf of the creator of that story?
Probably more than a little? Probably a lot?
What bothers me the most about the fic analogy, is that the very thought of that specific situation is infuriating to pretty much anyone and everyone. At the very idea of reposting someone’s written fan work, there would be (and often is!) a fandom uprising in support of the person or group it’s happened to. This is nearly never true for people who do fan artworks and graphics. In fact, there is often pushback from people when we ask them not to re-post our work. Not many people would think twice about saving something and reposting it to their own account without bothering to ask if it’s okay, or knowing where it came from. It’s an issue here, and an even bigger one with Instagram fan accounts.
While I really do appreciate the kind comments I get from you guys about all the gifs and edit making, it often winds up being a hugely frustrating effort when it’s also met with endless reposting of them daily, and having someone either ping me with another FYI this looks like yours, or seeing it on my dash from someone else I follow having reblogged a reposter. I can’t even tell you how quickly that stage door laughing gif was reposted the other night, despite my saying in the post it went up with, really clearly, please don’t.
The other night, someone sent me a link to a post where someone took a gif-set I shared a few days ago, cropped pieces of them out and reposted them in their own set 3 hours later. If you guys knew the amount of time it takes me to edit that kind of thing, just for someone else come along, make some quick crops on it and throw it up like nothing? I was so frustrated, I trashed the one I was in the middle of working on because what’s the fucking point? And sure, sometimes a reposter is reasonable and will take the content down, but the nature of this stuff is that dozens to hundreds of people could have (and usually will have) reblogged, and depending on the platform, re-reposted the work by the time they remove the original offense. So the damage is done and will just continue to grow.
I’m sure some of the responds to this will be along the lines of ‘well if you don’t want that to happen, then don’t post it online’ and hey - good point. I don’t disagree with it. Honestly, I have a dumb amount of stage door/QA/etc video and photo stuff that I have never posted, simply because I know it’s going to wind up going this route, and if I don’t create the issue for myself, then I have nothing to complain about.
But outside of that, just in terms of general fanworks - I find it continually frustrating that with graphic-making and visual fanworks, fans have never seen a definable boundary there in the same way they do with fic - ie: someone else created this, and I should not take it and share it as if it were my own.

Thanks to @dragonnan for this tag, too!
Name: for the sake of this, Red
Fandom: So many...sooo many...but as far as writing? Lucifer and Magnum, PI the reboot dominate the sheer numbers, but I also dipped my toes in the MCU with a couple one shots, Agents of SHIELD, the 100, Doctor Who, Common Law, Merlin, White Collar...Iron Fist/Daredevil. Probably others, but that’s without looking.
Where you post: AO3 and fanfic.net. I definitely appreciate both crowds, but I probably read more now on AO3, but I post simultaneously to both accounts.
Most popular one shot: Only Human in the Lucifer fandom, which was actually the first exchange gift I ever did.
Most Popular Multi-Chapter Story: Damnatio Memoriae, also Lucifer fandom. Probably the first fic I ever wrote that gained any level of popularity, and now it’s become this boogeyman in my writing closet because I just have one chapter to finish it and wrap up a 140k word epic, but I kinda don’t want to see it go, and have been staring at it for like 2 years at this point debating going back and editing the note saying I was gonna do one more chapter, or just finally give one last one.
Favourite Story You Wrote: Oooohh....hmm. That’s a toughie. Because like most, I have a favorite within a fandom. Like Damnatio is forever going to be my baby. I should post at some point how that story was actually SUPPOSED to go, and then it developed a life of it’s own and awwwaaaaay we went. I love Running Up That Hill for Agents of SHIELD which is one massive fix it fic because I was so blindingly enraged by what they did with Ward. I love Icarus in the teeny tiny Deception fandom because it’s the first time I really tried to write a dissociate episode and I kind of love how it turned out, and I love Wrong Side of Heaven in the Magnum PI fandom because it’s the first story I haven’t had some level of fantasy or sci fi to fall back on, and it’s a topic near and dear to me from my military service (and it is ALSO turning out to be a massive fix it fic and an excuse to write without the main female character in the show who I have come to despise).
Story You Were Nervous to Post: I’m ALWAYS a bit anxious when I post, period. But probably Wrong Side, just because I have so much invested in it, I want to convey what being a POW of the Taliban would actually be like, instead of glossing over it like it was a minor inconvenience like the show has.
How You Choose Your Titles: With very little thought. Icarus was from a random comment in the story about soaring too high, Damnatio was an episode title from Teen Wolf, and I also tend to just pick one word titles. Sometimes I regret the titles I pick later, but eh. Not enough to change them.
Do You Outline: Not really. And I’m kinda glad I don’t, because my stories have veered violently and wonderfully away from their original plots. Damnatio would’ve been 10 chapters and very cut and dry, no mystery to it; Running would’ve ended the second that Fitz and Ward were rescued...however. That being said, I have heavily plotted out Wrong Side, because I have written it incredibly out of order, AND I don’t have the benefit of Magic existing to wrap up what I don’t want to think about.
Complete (Stats): Ugh. Does this mean complete stats or stats on completed works?
41 Completed works (some one shots, some multi chaptered)
27 multi-chapter stories
28 one shots
14 incomplete (I have intentions to finish all of them but some will take considerably longer)
I don’t want to consider the projects I have from original works or fanfic that will never see the light of day because it’s in the early thousands.
And because I am lazy - copy and pasted stats from AO3

In Progress (Actively Writing): Wrong Side of Heaven and Bad Things Happen (Magnum, PI 2018), Damnatio Memoriae and Cecidit Angelus (Lucifer)
Coming Soon/Not Yet Started/Unpublished:
Okay full disclosure, the following list contains stories that I wouldn’t categorize as “coming soon”. I am uncertain when these will actually make it to AO3 and my writing workload it enormous right now. Still, I AM excited by these stories and would love to eventually share them!
Untitled Iron Fist/Daredevil crossover that’s mostly in plotting stages where IGH has captured both Danny and Matt.
Untitled Prodigal Son story that I kinda want to get out there before I’m either confirmed right or wrong that has to do with Malcolm’s father actively grooming him to be a serial killer just like him and that’s the woman who’s in the box that he keeps having nightmares about, his first ‘victim’.
Lucifer fic of no title that is a series of one shots with Lucifer and Chloe being advocates/law enforcement for the supernatural in LA (selkie gets her coat stolen by a stalker, they have to go retrieve it kind of thing)
Untitled GOTG fic for @rohanrider3 about people being after Peter for his Celestial side and I rip off my favorite tropes of ‘fun character in peril turns out to have some rage issues’ from FMA and Avatar the Last Airbender.
Do You Accept Prompts: Sure. Not a lot of people submit them, but when I asked for people to participate in ‘choose your own adventure’ style for fics, the audience has entertained my lunacy and given good ideas, and they respond to Bad Things Happen Bingo prompt requests, but other than that....not a lot of people send me prompts out of the blue (FYI, I really like them, though sometimes I’m just slow at filling them).
Upcoming Story You Are Most Excited to Write: Wrong Side and Unnamed Prodigal Son fic, hands down.
Tagging: @rohanrider3, @beguilewritesstuff, @ariaadagio, @amandagaelic, @waitingforthestarstofall, and anyone else who’d like to take a stab at this :)

how do you sub your videos? could you post a tutorial?
Hi! I sub videos with Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2018. Under the read more is a rundown of how I personally like to sub videos (since I really don’t have the expertise to say this is best or most affordable way).
For easy follow along: Download the tutorial images here
Step 1: Setting Up
When you open up Premiere Pro, the first thing you want to do is make sure you’re on the Assembly tab. Premiere has several workspaces, each to match a different stage of the editing process. We’ll be working in Assembly (for importing/exporting videos) and Graphics (for adding text). Once you import your video, click on the paper icon on the bottom and select sequence. You can also create a sequence by going file > new > sequence. Assuming your video came in a workable format, don’t worry about the dimensions for now and just choose something widescreen.
Now open your new sequence and drag your video into the workspace (V1 and A1 Layer). You might get a warning like below. If so, choose change sequence settings. This will change the sequence dimensions to match your video.
Step 2: Adding Text
Your video is now ready to be subtitled! Click on the Graphics tab to the right of Assembly. In Graphics, you’ll be able to add and edit text here. Find your toolbar and click on the “T” (Text) icon. Now type anywhere on your video to add text. Use the arrow in the toolbar to manually move the text around. You can also use the “Align and Transform” section tools to fine-tune the text position and “Text” section to edit the style. Create a placeholder text that will act as a template for your entire video. For captions, I like to use Myriad Pro Semibold/Bold and a stroke of 2.5-4 but feel free to experiment!
Step 3: Timing
FYI translations aside, most of your time will be spent on timing captions!Now that you have your placeholder caption text ready to go, lock your video and audio layer to prevent accidentally overriding/cutting the tracks. Locked layers will have diagonal lines and the layer will have a blue, closed lock.Note: To further organize my process, I like to make sure all normal captions (that follow the placeholder style) are in one layer and reserve another one for special captions.
Each block of text (seen above) will represent one caption line. From here on out, it’s a lot of copying and pasting text and scrubbing through the video to make sure the captions follow the dialogue. It doesn’t have to be perfect timing the first time through since you can always refine it later. Below are some helpful tools that I find makes the process faster.
SELECTION TOOL (V)The selection tools allow you to resize the text upon hovering and dragging the edge of the text clip.
RAZOR TOOL ©The razor tool allows you cut or split clips by clicking where on the text clip you want to cut.
Step 3.5: Creating Video Drafts
Exporting the final video can take a lengthy amount of time, depending on how long your video is. Video drafts will allow you to get a glimpse of what your final edit will look like, so you don’t wait 2 hours only to realize you have text issues. I use video drafts to test font sizes, colors, and strokes before exporting the final cut.
Sometimes you only want to test a part (”sequence”) of your video. So here, let’s learn how to make a sequence. To create a sequence, find the place you want your mini video draft clip to start, press “i”, find the place you want it to end, and press “o”. The highlighted part is now your sequence! (To delete the sequence markers, right click on the ticked bar and select “clear in and out”.)
Now go to file > export > media. You’ll get a popup that looks like below. Rename and direct the Output Name. Three important things to note: the H.264 format, a CBR between 0.8 to 1.5, and the source range specification. If you’re only exporting the sequence, make sure the source range says “Sequence In/Out”. “Entire Sequence” is used for exporting the entire video (if that’s what you plan to do). Once everything is correct, click Export! Yes, the video will be really low quality but it should give feedback on how you’re doing. If it’s too LQ, increase the CBR and export again.
Step 4: Creating the Final Cut
Hooray! You’re done with timing and subtitles! Only exporting the final video is left. Similar to creating video drafts, go to file > export > media. Change the Output Name name and location to where you want the video to export to. Make sure the Source Range is now “Entire Sequence”. Then, use either the YouTube 1080p (for YT uploads) or the Match Source - High Bitrate Preset. Click export, wait for it to render, and you’re DONE!!! :))
How was it? Not too bad I hope. If there’s anything you need clarification on or were curious about that I didn’t explain, feel free to drop me a message!
#i'd love to know how it goes!#also regarding video subs...#i think i have a pleasant surprise for you guys?!?? it is for me at least lol#long post

Oklahoma County District Judge Tim Henderson, and his late Son Cameron Henderson, 9-14-20 Post
Fyi, I did post this daily the last fews days (its on my social media) it just doesn’t appear on here due to I was working on a staged copy of my site and when I pushed it onto my live site, it erased those daily postings.
Daily Posts from 4-4-20. Cheers Henderson, here’s to another trip around the Sun! Yippee-ki-yay MOFO!

Cameron Henderson’s “My Life”
Oklahoma County District Judge Tim Henderson & Late Son (Cameron Henderson)
You know what they say…What goes around comes around
Language .
If you are easily offended
I would not read this if I were you I guess the news Henderson’s son Cameron was found dead in an unpopulated area in Yukon 8-5-20, after being reported missing by his family for day, forced me to edit Henderson’s Post first created 4-5-19, writing his son’s delinquent behavior in past tense. It also gives me to chance to clean up (some) of the filth & bit of an easier read.
Body Found in Yukon
Does he have my sympathy he lost his son? As a Human Being & Parent, absolutely.
As a litigant having suffered great harm from Henderson destroying my life since 2016 by his corruption & collusion with Andrews in his pivoting role losing my home illegally 1-10-19 & McGuire refusing to make her do her job, as her boss being Presiding Judge, where I lost my son to parental alienation & unable to have 4,100.00 in support Orders enforced, along with witnessing how many parents lives he has destroyed by handing their child live sentences taking their child from them not so much. Henderson gave Sean Grigsby, for what amounts to stealing a car, a life sentence on a blind plea with no Record of proceedings.
What you do catches up with you, one way or the other either in this world or the next; seems like Karma bit him where it hurts most. Maybe he shouldn’t be such a corrupt asshole destroying others lives and his son would still be here? It’s a thought. Who knows.
I promised daily posts 4-5-19, by 4-5-20 there were 365 posts (at least). I hope Henderson enjoyed it as much as I did this last year, although quite sure he got more jollies out of treating me like I was a turd on the bottom of his shoe at the time. I cannot help but wonder if he just wished he could go back in time & recall his balls. I just wished it were not a metaphorical rubber band, snap, snap 🙂 cuz them suckers would have turned black & fallen off. Now that we are well over a year from 4-4-19, does Henderson regret being a prick? Does he wish he could play Cher and turn back time? Has it been worth it to him to treat me like a 2nd class citizen on 4-4-19? (he does this on a daily basis to his defendants on his criminal docket, I witnessed for 4 months from 11-2016 to 2-2017 documenting his cases I reported in MA-116053 filed 5-18-17)
So, Cheers Henderson,
I had said Henderson has caused me so much grief since 2016, he can it to the bank & write a check on it I would post it daily. I have been busy with other things pertaining to my website etc., but if I did not get anything else posted that day, I posted his post.
Granted sometimes I had to hit it twice in one day, when I looked up with the clock having struck 12. And there has been my website woes with my server not up & running, but one thing I am not going to make up for is Henderson’s post. I wonder if he doubted when I said if he does not think I will not do this till I die; he can sit watch? One year, plus however many I have got left, to go!
#Oklahoma County District Judge Tim Henderson #Humpin_Hiter_Henderson.
(little refresher)
At Henderson’s 4-4-19 hearing, he decided to be big man on campus berating me and harassing me (just being a prick in general), to retaliate on me for my complaints I filed 3-21-17 with Gov. Fallin, the Supreme Court & COJC, which seems to have knocked him out of his Supreme Court Seat he was shooting for & for my protest comments I’ve made about Henderson, his banging Judge Harlot Truong & D.A. Collins, and his son’s rap sheet and creepy post Las Vegas video, instead of just granting or denying my relief request of waiving his 1-10-19 transcript fee, so I could prove the SOB didn’t say the words in his 1-10-19 ruling.
Henderson’s Ruling is a void Order anyway due to Henderson was under Rule 15, with 1-10-19 his own in camera hearing, but Henderson complying with the does not jive; they are not best buds and damn sure do not go places together. Henderson just signed the 1-10-19 minute Lyin Lyna Mitchel’s minute prepared, but Henderson didn’t rule Andrews Rule 15(b) was denied. It was not even to him, or merits presented, on top of not free to issue any other rulings other on Henderson’s own denial of Rule 15 that day.
In addition to, Henderson altered Judge McElwee’s 12-13-18 Order (regarding my FD-2012-2876 & FD-2006-3306 Cases), that clearly said that Henderson was only to assign another Chief Judge to hear Andrews’ Redress, but Henderson altered it so he could hear it as payback. Henderson colluded with Judge Ogden having him sign off on it. Actually, McElwee’s 12-8-18 Order was not altered saying the same that Henderson was to reassign Chief Judge’s Orders. I guess Henderson did not have the balls to alter that one since Judge Parrish had signed off on that one, so by that Order alone Henderson was not allowed to hear the issue. Andrews, Henderson and Mitchell all colluded played out in their roles at their respective 1-10-19 hearings. I know that sound paranoid, but it is not, it is what occurred.
Andrews 1-10-19 transcript (will be posting) shows at Andrews 1:30 hearing I said Henderson did not say those words (at his 10:00 hearing), that I didn’t hear Henderson say that, which if he would have said it, I would have heard it & Mitchell had just insisted putting language in minute (Andrews mysteriously had in front of him). This allowed Andrews to continue in Fraud upon the Court to grant illegal foreclosure 1-18-19 when Ditech lacks standing Andrews has refused to address to retaliate upon me for my comments I have made about him in my protest I began March 2018.
THE RECORD IS SACRED
I’d said from the get go the audio of that day was going to be needed to prove Henderson didn’t say that, and what-da-ya-know, when I finally was able to cough up the bucks to pay for the transcript, language magically appeared in the transcript that says Henderson denied Andrews’ Rule 15(b). Kristen Taylor refused to provide me the audio. In fact, the whole hearing layout was different.
The estimate went from 52.50 to 87.50, settling at 72.00, which is odd fluctuating of 6 pages. I know that does not seem like much money to pay for a transcript, but when you are on destitute budget of disability, it might as well be 720.00. I never knew I could live so frugally; I certainly did not grow up that way or live most of my life in poverty; it is no fun. I sure could use my 4,100.00 a month orders enforced that I cannot get enforced to save my life due to Special Judge McGuire, Special Judge Oakes and Henderson, along with a string of other Judges involved since 2012.
Never underestimate
Since I had to stand there taking Henderson’s shit, under the threat of my Liberty taken thrown in jail if I attempted to defend myself, I vowed 4-5-19 to get even with the SOB in blow back posting his & his son’s daily blogs.
I even offered 5-30-19 to show my gratitude for him just doing this job vacating (by law) his 1-10-19 ruling. Of course, Henderson asked if I was “negotiating with him”. No dude, if I was asking him to do something illegal and in exchange I’d cease my postings vow sure, but I asked him to comply with the Law (we pay him to do), and in return I’d be grateful cease postings. But he passed; more important to him to screw me than protect his son. Way to go Dad.
I’ve already left a daily footprint on the WWW, but comparing that footprint to date then to the daily footprint that will be left by the time I die and all is said and done is small. If I stopped now, they’d eventually get lost somewhere in the ether at the back of the line.
SO, I HAVE DECIDED TO NOT GET MAD
If the if the MOFO wants to retaliate on me for my protest, then 2 can play that damn game. Out on the farm there is a more humane way to castrate calves. Instead of wrestling them to the ground, stepping on their necks and while holding their legs apart, slicing their balls off with a razor blade, instead slip a rubber band around their balls, they eventually turn black and fall off. Some argue tho in the long run it is more painful than the quick slice of once and done.
I kind of feel like I’ve had Henderson’s ball sack in the palm of my hand, which by way of his father – his son’s, having had his Achilles heel in the palm of my hand for months now and I’m going to slowly start tightening the rubber band. There is nothing more painful to a parent than pain to their kid. Besides the truly hateful, rude, crude comments I intend to make about Henderson, and Truong and anyone else related to Henderson, I have a far worse Chinese torture (ah the Truong Irony).
I am going to set my alarm at 10 pm every day and at the end of my day I am going to ask myself, “Kathy, today has your life suffered from Henderson’s tyranny or corruption in any way?” Did I lose my house? Am I still unable to get my $4,100.00 enforced? Am I still having to deal with this litigation crap? If the answer to my question to myself if yes, then I am going to post Cameron’s pages every day that I am feeling Henderson’s corruption.
In fact, the whole monkey is on his back of all my woes. He had it well within his power to have remedied it all in August 2016, the foreclosure would not have even gotten filed if he had made McGuire enforce her Orders my home is paid for. Instead, he chose to be corrupt and refused my Constitutional Rights (that’s my Achilles heel) to have the Court open to me (26) times (between 8/16-12/18), on top of cramming judicial usurpation/tyranny down my throat threatening me with jail, when I did nothing to deserve that, he then attacked and belittled me forcing me to take his shit 4-4-19, unable to defend myself, so I’m vomiting back up right in his face that he can’t do a damn thing about.
I could not even state my case, which is pure Nazi-Hitler crap. I’m not one of his litigants in his felony court that he can treat like shit just because they either don’t know their rights or they are in a situation where they can’t use their voice, I’M USING MY VOICE LOUD AND PROUD MOFO! Violating my Constitutional Rights gets on my fighting side; I have taken it and taken it, and I am not taking it any longer. The blow back: Cameron Henderson was a f**kup just like his dad Judge Tim Henderson.
After all his Son was a cop and a public servant when he committed his crimes, plus he said on his creepy ass video it needed to be made public, (be careful what you wished for dude). The main point of it is the comparison between Cameron’s case and Sean Grigsby case, so well, all that kind of gives me a pass.
I will say before the 4-4-19 hearing, I was already feeling remorse pains for what I had posted already about Henderson’s son up to that point in making that www footprint. However, after that hearing Henderson quashed all that.
My plan was to keep notes and in 20 years or so we can check in with each other and see just whose life has suffered the worst from Henderson’s corruption, mine, or his son paying for the sins of his Father, that is as old as time. (Guess that battle is over with his passing).
Since now days when someone is looking to hire someone, they search the internet that they say greatly impacts people’s lives, even if someone is looking to date, or just want to know about them, they google them.
When you google Henderson Cameron’s video already comes up, and if I optimize seo on his pages, and post it daily, hell even doing searches for his name in my spare time to generate higher search results, by the time Cameron is oh say 45 unable to escape the missteps of his youth following and haunting him that seem would greatly impact his life, then we’ll see then if Henderson thought it was worth then it to f**k with me then. With Cameron’s passing, his life is not going to be affected now, but this was always about giving Henderson back some of his own medicine. Looks my position has shifted to not let Henderson forget his son’s delinquent behavior.
CAMERON TIMMOTHY HENDERSON
Cameron Henderson had his slap on the hand for (6) felonies (13k bond), with a history of same offenses, having (3) worst charges (drinking, driving, totin a gun) dismissed, with a 3 year deferment, in the cushy ride of being a Judge’s son, compare it to Daddy Henderson’s rulings for Sean Grigsby in CF-2014-5956, who had (4) felonies (80k bond) where Henderson gave a life sentence to in a blind plea for what amounts to stealing a car.
My bitch is if was ok to Henderson for Sean Grigsby’s mom to lose her son to a life sentence in a blind plea for (4) felonies, why isn’t it ok for Henderson to have lost his son to the same rule of thumb of prosecution for his (6) felonies? (both kids are about the same age in mid-twenties).
ISN’T FUNNY THAT A BOND’S INTENT IS FLIGHT RISK? That’s not what our Judges use it for.
But our Judges use it to punish people for crimes they are not even convicted of yet as a money maker; Henderson and Elliott readily give 5 and 6 figure bonds. Hell, Henderson even upped this one guys bond by 50k, while he was in jail not going anywhere, for losing his attorney.
I was at Sean Grigsby’s sentence modification 1-9-17
I also talked to his mom, who works for the state as a forensic person.
I think of Sean often. It haunts me as a citizen of our community and simply as a human being, as should all of us, that this crime happened to him by Henderson.
I’m not excusing what Sean did; it’s just the punishment does not fit the crime and there is no jury that would have given this kid a life sentence for his screw up, like everyone does as kids in one form or the other.
While Sean was high, he stole an old ladies car, holding her at bay with the threat of mace (didn’t use it). The only injury of property or person was the lady fell and cut her leg. The state charged him with a dangerous and deadly weapon (mace), for f**k’s sake they better let Walmart know they need to lock that shit up then cuz anyone can buy it off the shelf. They also charged him with kidnapping; love how our state trumps up charges. Since Sean only took the ladies car, maybe the State claims it was against the car’s will?
SEAN’S CASE IS ALL WITHOUT A RECORD,
The kid cannot even appeal what Henderson did to him.
A record is always to be provided in a criminal case (compliments of the state when they’re trying to fry your ass), but Henderson doesn’t like a court reporter capturing his every word (he can always just tell his reporter Kristen Taylor to just alter the Record rearranging and altering shit; to hell with that’s a felony; the Record is supposed to be sacred).
Out of all the cases I witnessed of Henderson from November 2016 to February 2016 (besides partly in 2 trials), Henderson only made a record in one case! And that was only by a damn tape recorder, not even affording a court reporter & that was only because the guy did not speak English!
Sean did try to appeal in 2018 with the only record that Truong made, but our good ole big boys Supreme Court denied it. Apparently, none of them have a conscience or a sense of right or wrong because our Supreme Courts are all about covering the Judge’s asses, not about justice that is their job we pay them to do.
Sean did not stand a chance in hell with the cards he drew.
Sean had Special Judge Doak, who was fired for being a shit judge. Amazingly this was the only Special Judge Henderson ever took any action on, which tells you just how bad Doak was. Then it went to Truong, Henderson’s whore. Truong was Henderson’s preliminary Judge, wonder how much pillow talk included cases on their dockets?
Get this, Sean’s first attorney, KIRKPATRICK, told Sean to take a blind plea.
Ah, don’t you just love attorneys whose only concern is dumping their caseload knowing both Henderson and Elliott are going to give max sentences?
After Sean fired him freaking out on being given a life sentence (who would not?) he withdrew his plea. Then his 2nd attorney, MOTSINGER, had him “willingly accept his plea”. Why in God’s name would an attorney tell their client to willingly accept a life sentence without a jury trial? Take the jury trial; the sentence could not have been any worse and in this case a hell of a lot better!
Mostinger told Sean…to accept the sentence, that Henderson was just making an example out of him, to go to prison being a model prisoner, then come back in a year and Henderson would modify it.
Right! Way to go Kirkpatrick and Motsinger in both of your blatant violation of your client’s trust in you.
Do Attorneys even get that people trust them to do no harm to their clients and that we trust you guys to tell us the truth and us following your advice is in our best interest?
Of course, Henderson was not going to do that, he is not capable of remorse, fairness or justice. He has Hitler’s Cold Black Heart.
At Sean’s Sentence Review Hearing, there were people there from the prison to testify & letters written of the amazing achievements of Sean’s being a model prisoner (having not only gotten off drugs himself, but helping others doing so and directing them spiritually) in doing exactly what he was told to do by his dumbass Attorney, hoping to achieve the promises to not pay for the rest of his life for his screw up as a kid.
Prisons are for punishment, but for also reform, not to lock people up and throw away the key.
Sean was not even asked to be released that day, he even offered to finish out a set time and volunteered to be on probation for life when released; what greater motivation to never screw up again!
Also, Altho, I was impressed with Micky (think is his first name) McMahan at McElwee’s trial I sat in on in 2018, he flat sucked here
Maybe McMahan was new to the D.A. at Sean’s cases or something then since he does not look that old & why he did such a bad job? He argued Sean was “pure evil”. No dude, the Las Vegas madman Stephen Paddock, Timothy McVeigh, Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein,Hitler and the like are all “pure evil”, Sean was just a kid who made a mistake who is paying for it for the rest of his life now thanks to you.
Out of all the cases I witnessed of Henderson’s I never saw him take anyone’s side but the D.A. Conflict of interest much? Henderson banging D.A. Collins robs people of their right to a Fair & Impartial Judiciary does not it? Doesn’t the dumbass get the conflict when banging Judges and D.A. involved?
THINK WITH YOUR HEAD ON YOUR SHOULDERS DUDE; CUT DOWN ON YOUR DOSES OF VIAGRA DUDE…
Henderson threw Sean a bone of credit for the 2 years spent in county waiting on his Trial. I will never forget he said it is really is not a life sentence & that Sean would have plenty of years left when he got out!
GIVE THAT SAME SENTENCE TO YOUR SON WHO HAD MORE FELONY COUNTS THAN SEAN AND SEE IF YOU HAVE THE SAME OPINION! F**K YOU TIM HENDERSON, YA PRICK!
I felt his mom’s pain for her son, I felt Sean’s despair; no one would blame him if he had left and said f**k it and joined a gang or something.
I feel bad that I haven’t stopped to follow through on my plan to contact Sean in prison and tell him what it is that I know of his case and the Judges involved and see if he can’t follow up with a Federal lawsuit for violation of his Constitutional Rights or something, who knows maybe it’ll blow the lid of Henderson’s dick diving into Truong, and D.A. Collins, which if there are two, then there are probably others he can’t keep it in his pants around. I need to post it note myself to do that.
This is interesting. Apparently he had a “reputation score of 4.28/5…

Cameron made his disturbing video 10-8-17, (less than a month after he committed his crimes) see his FB page posting, (7 days after Las Vegas shootings). It is an obvious response to Las Vegas Mad Man killing innocent people 10-1-17 since he says “CNN isn’t aware of this issue yet” bragging about his gun he owned.
I have no idea why he thought people needed to be aware of his proud killing machine. I guess if it was posted at any other time and not in reference to Las Vegas shootings it might not be as creepy, BUT he did post it and it is creepy.
I have never seen a gun contraption where 4 guns all hooked together. I just know it is damn creepy and a disturbed individual would post it. If Cameron Henderson ever flipped out, CNN would have been playing this video on loop.
He was obviously delusional talking about “if Charlie don’t surf that day” then how fast you can shoot underwater. First “Charlie” is slang for Vietcong. Henderson did you son know you have been f**king a chink for years? Second, dude we live in Oklahoma, we don’t surf, you can’t even see your hand in front of your face in our muddy waters let alone to shoot someone, and lastly why would you ever need to?
Cameron Henderson bragged on his “Ghost Gun” that is nothing more than a Killing machine. He states in video the public should know, so I am obliging him. He should have been more careful what he wished for. If this link does not work, it is on Cameron’s page on my webpage & it is on the sidebar on all posts.
Cameron’s Mile Long Rap Sheet
That is suprising considering he was a Judge’s son and was himself a cop, or was until he got fired from Canadian County Sheriff November 2017.
The point of showing Cameron’s rap sheet is to show Judge Henderson’s rule of thumb of prosecution his son would have gotten if he had been in his Court as somebody else’s son. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. Is it still called his kid screwing up when his kid kept making the same mistakes repeatedly?
Poor little entitled white privileged son of a Judge–
Kid liked to drive fast, drive drunk while totin’ his gun.
How in God’s name did the kid ever become a cop?
Apple did not fall far from the tree, did it Daddy Henderson? -Henderson is Trump’s immoral doppelganger screwing people out of justice daily on his Bench.
Cameron got hand slap with (6) yr deferment for (6) Felonies Driving Drunk in his cop car toting his gun. *looks like his 5th charge Drunk Drive charge; it is hard to tell with 2 prior cpc cases disappearing. *It is his 2nd charge driving drunk with his Gun. Both gun charges were dismissed, surprise, surprise. *Isn’t there a “3 strikes- you’re outta here law”?
His bond was $13,000.00 for (6) felonies; Daddy Henderson readily gives 5 and 6 figure bonds-Impossible for people to get out of jail.
Cameron did not make past 6 years to see if he got popped again.
What’s were the odds if he did Daddy Henderson made those go away then 2?
Daddy Henderson is buddies with Judge Hesse and Judge McCurdy handling his son’s Felonies. News story says Henderson attended Hesse’s swearing in, along with McCurdy. Henderson filled in on Canadian County Docket.9.

(news reports) Canadian Co. Deputy Arrested For DUI, Reckless Driving in Sheriff’s Unit Posted: Nov 06, 2017 2:36 PM CST Updated: Nov 06, 2017 9:13 PMCST
Police say a Canadian County Sheriff’s Deputy was arrested on Friday after driving intoxicated in a sheriff’s unit. Cameron Timothy Henderson was taken into custody. He later bonded out, according to police. Henderson is a resident of Piedmont and a deputy.
Piedmont Police Chief Scott Singer said regardless of the suspect’s connection to the Sheriff’s Office and his familiar name, this is a case of an individual driving intoxicated while operating a motor vehicle. As a result, Singer confirms a large amount of property was damaged.
Singer said on Friday evening around 10:00, residents in the 1000 block of Olde Town Drive in Piedmont called police. They reported that a man was knocking on their back door and back window, asking them to get into the house. The homeowners convinced Henderson to go to the front door and wait there when they called police. Officers arrived to find a heavily damaged Canadian County sheriff’s vehicle. It was a Chevrolet Tahoe with the front bumper torn off in the driveway. According to Singer, the vehicle was heavily damaged and inoperable.
Singer said Henderson appeared to be intoxicated. A field sobriety examination was completed. Henderson blew a .24 during the breathalyzer examination, which is more than three times the legal limit in Oklahoma. He said Henderson admitted to operating the sheriff’s vehicle. Henderson was in civilian clothes and armed. He was taken into custody and transferred to the Yukon Police Department as a security measure since he has likely made contact with inmates in the Canadian County Jail through his work.
Charges were presented on Monday morning to the district attorney, including driving under the influence of alcohol, being under the influence while in possession of a firearm, various traffic charges, and various property charges. They are expected to be filed by end-of-day Monday.
Singer said Canadian County Sheriff’s Office has been very cooperative in sorting this matter out. Additionally, the Oklahoma City Police Department traffic unit assisted in reconstructing a series of collisions at different locations that involved the vehicle and the deputy. “I think it’s a sad deal,” said Canadian County Sheriff Chris West. “I hate it for him and his family. I hate it for the victims of what he did on Friday night…hate it for his family. But we run a professional operation here. There are consequences for people when they make bad decisions and we do not tolerate that here.
Cameron Henderson’s Arrest Cameron Henderson’s Arrest Cameron Henderson’s Arrest Cameron Henderson’s Arrest Cameron Henderson’s Arrest Cameron Henderson’s Arrest
Counts 2, 5, 6 were dismissed. His charge for DUI was busted down to misdemeanor of aggravated DUI. Count 2 was dismissed being a big charge of carrying a gun while Drunk is a big charge. Also dismissed were (2) leaving scenes damaging fixtures, quite sure those (2) people did not agree their property destroyed was just disregarded!

The Spy Who Dumped Me
I’ve seen people giving widely varied opinions on Sam’s new project, The Spy Who Dumped Me, and who he might be playing. This, even without knowing much about the script, aside from what little has been reported by other people who probably haven’t even read the screenplay.
Mostly because of the conflicting information about this project, I was determined to see if I could find a copy of The Spy Who Dumped Me.
I was a film major in college, with an emphasis in writing, so I know from past experience that screenplays for in-production films end up online all the time. Mostly they are early first-draft- or spec-script drafts and can little resemble the final end product, but finding them is usually possible. If you try hard enough...
I looked and looked and, through a very round-about way, I finally got a copy. And before you DM me about it: Sorry, but I will not share it.
I promised my source I wouldn’t, so please don’t ask.
Although, I will answer any questions about it that folks have. Just comment in a reblog, or send me an Ask.
One thing I want to say before I go any further: Sam IS NOT playing the titular spy, Drew, even though folks for some reason people seem to think he is.
He is playing Sebastian.
Sam’s role was described as the ‘lead male’ role in articles about him taking the part (X, X, X, & X), and that is Sebastian, not Drew.
The only two characters who have more lines than Sebastian are Audrey and Morgan.
Added to that, Drew gets killed 20 pages into a 118-page script and has less than half of the screen time that Sebastian has.
Sam is a better fit for Sebastian anyway, he’s definitely Sebastian, although the exact roles the actors are playing are not up on IMDB yet.
I’m putting the rest of this behind a cut for length and potential minor spoilers...
As an FYI, here are the announced cast and their likely roles, based on the cast listed on IMDB, in the order which they appear in the script:
Justin Theroux – Drew – the titular spy who dumped Audrey Mila Kunis – Audrey – Trader Joe’s cashier, Duck Hunt wiz, and Drew’s ex Kate McKinnon – Morgan – Audrey’s roommate, best friend, and extremely self-confident unemployed actress Sam Heughan - Sebastian – English, CIA spy, and a co-worker of Drew’s Hasan Minhaj – Patel – Drew and Sebastian’s senior officer Gillian Anderson – Wendy – CIA Director, Patel and Sebastian’s boss Ivanna Sakhno – Nadedja (sounds like ‘Nadia’) – Super Model, Sadist, Enemy Secret Agent, and Assassin
Listed Locations:
Lithuania Los Angeles Vienna Paris Milan Asbury Park Prague Belgium Moscow The Netherlands Berlin Tokyo
In general, I’m not sure exactly how I’d describe the script, but it’s got The Bridesmaids- or The Hangover-level of raunchy, sophomoric humor combined with The Kingsmen-style secret-agent badassery. And like that film, this script has an extremely high body count. A lot of people die, albeit usually in humorous ways.
I loved The Kingsmen and Deadpool, so I know a lot of killing can still be very funny if handled well. The director, Susanna Fogel, doesn’t have a whole lot on her CV, but she’s one of the writers so I’m hoping it will end up as funny as it read.
I agree with Scriptshadow’s review in large part, and it appears they reviewed the same draft of the script I had. But I should say that I liked the script a lot more than he or she did and it will be a must-see for me, especially since Sam Heughan is playing Sebastian.
Written by Susanna Fogel and David Iserson, the script is solid. It is well constructed and has a good, steady pace. It starts right out of the gate with the titular spy, Drew, on assignment in Lithuania.
His cover blown, Drew evades assassins and narrowly avoids getting killed several times. It shows how capable and self-confident he is, as he easily and humorously kills numerous enemy agents…
That contrasts to his less-sure-of-herself ex-girlfriend, Audrey, who is quickly established in the very next scene as an underachiever only good at working at Trader Joe’s and being a deadly accurate shot in the vintage video arcade game Duck Hunt. Audrey’s best friend and roommate Morgan is established very quickly as being very sure of herself for an out of work actress, an excellent foil for Audrey.
Sebastian shows up at Trader Joe’s to ask Audrey about Drew, who stole something important the CIA wants back. Later, Drew shows up at Audrey’s apartment to pick up some stuff he left, but he’s ambushed there and gets shot.
In his dying wish, Drew asks Audrey to complete his last mission to Vienna. Feeling guilty over his death, and not trusting the CIA since it looked like they murdered Drew, Audrey and Morgan head off to Europe to meet Drew’s contact, with Sebastian and the CIA hot on their trail.
The script really keeps things moving along quickly after that, as the stakes keep rising toward the final confrontation.
Despite some initial missteps, Audrey and Morgan become very good at being spies. Audrey pleasantly surprised her video game skills translate so well to real-life situations. Sure-of-herself Morgan skillfully employs her acting and stage combat training.
The eventual bad guy comes out of the blue, but it is a twist that makes sense.
So, the film could be a winning mix of comedy, intrigue, action, sexy cast members, and exotic locations. While some of the more sophomoric humor isn’t exactly my cup of tea, with some even heading into cringe-worthy range, I imagine (if played out effectively) the film will be very funny.
However, aside from any of that, this movie could act as a solid entry into major feature filmdom for Sam Heughan.
He is perfect in the part of Sebastian and the part is perfect for him.
Why do I think that? It really isn’t any one thing, not really, but I easily imagined Sam as Sebastian as I read the script…
Sebastian is smooth and capable as a spy, easily killing when needed, but he also shows some pathos when the situations humorously turn against him.
So, this part needs a strong actor, who also happens to be extremely physically fit, handsome, charming, and has solid comedic timing… It’s like the part was written with Sam in mind.
He’s perfect for the role and I’m happy he’s getting a chance to play it. With Brian Grazer producing for Imagine, Ron Howard’s production company, with co-stars as varied and talented as this cast is, this film is a huge opportunity for him.
I’m so excited he has this chance and can’t wait to see it.
Edited 9/7/17: Sam has been cast as Sebastian, the images posted of the production locations shoots in Amsterdam are from scenes I recognize from the script version that I have...
In an outdoor café in Amsterdam:
Outside a formal dress gala held in a museum in Berlin:
Then, of course, if there was any lingering doubt that he was playing the part, Sam posted the image of the drawing of himself as Sebastian:

In The Garden Of Candy Cabs
toco toco, a series highlighting Japanese creatives that I’ve been extolling the virtues of since close to its debut has just hit a fairly momentous milestone: episode 50! Which also happens to showcase one of Attract Mode’s inspirations, that being Edit Mode. So of course I think everyone should see the video above (tho be sure to have closed captions on, btw, unless you’re fluent with Japanese).
Now might be another good time to shameless flaunt this Edit Mode tee I own; I’m probably maybe one of two or three (at most) to own one outside of Japan. Some might recall seeing this in a rundown of Game Culture Snapshots many moons ago…
On that note, and I know I keep saying this, but… am gonna pass along a new batch, hopefully soon. Until then, may I suggest Minus World’s take on game focused photography? Here we have some choice selections (some of which I was going to spotlight myself, but have been beaten to the punch, I must admit), like this Pac-Man rickshaw. It’s actually something that was originally posted by miki800.com, which I guess goes to prove that there’s quite a few of us that love both video games and Instagram…
Via the aforementioned survey is how I came to discover the bootleg! store, which deals in all kinds of rare or just plain odd video game or music related items (often a combination of both). Here we have an individual prepping for the release party for (what I believe to be is) the inaugural release by Heavy Metal Raiden, which is a band that does rock infused covers of tracks from the shmup Raiden…
Here’s what Heavy Metal Raiden sounds like, btw.
Moving on, bootleg! store’s Twitter reveals even more curios, like old game soundtracks on audio cassettes, which I’ve never actually seen believe it or not, despite by heavy interest in that world (I just always thought they came out on records and CD)…
And via Oliver’s most recent survey, I came to learn about the work of Emil Ohlund, which is on display at excube…
The custom Super Famicom cart that Oliver digs is nice and all, tho I prefer the image that’s used to promotion the exhibit…
Though here’s another look at that cart…
If you look around excube’s Twitter, you’ll find all sorts of neat things, including some killer threads…
So, which music video do you prefer; this one featuring a pixelated girl (via prostheticknowledge)…
vimeo
Or this one featuring the polygonal boys of Persona 3-5 (via @xpatriciah)…
youtube
Speaking of, am really enjoying the current craze of adding the sexy af battle interface onto anything and everything (via maxalaatikko)…
On a semi-related note, thanks to @supcat for alerting me of the existence of this most wonderful of nonexistent video games…
And a huge thanks to @focra for the getting me the one birthday present (I’m 40 as of tomorrow, holy sh*t indeed; there’s also a bunch of things I could use, but for the purposes of this gag, please play along), which is this memory card that the Tiny Cart Twitter dug up…
On another kind of related note, here we have cf-12’s Virtua Stick, which has been personalized is a similar fashion…
Some additional pics of his set-up…
I’m always interested in seeing how folks play games at home, especially when you have stuff intended for outside the home (as previously noted). A few other examples, courtesy of decideweapons…
Here’s the story behind that previous pic…
“That one time I had an Aero table for a couple months. This photo was taken after i dropped it off at my buddy Andrew’s house before moving to California. These things are a bit overrated imo and actually quiet unplayable compared to traditional candy cabinets. But they are the rare so collectors go nuts for them!”
I came across decideweapons courtesy of sixteen-bit, which is where I also encountered the following as well….
I have no idea that the story is behind the candy cabs in the rose garden. Sorry.
Remember my mention of pixel8or last week? Well, here’s something that’s even more Rez-like than before…
Get a load of this; there were once plans for a Time Gal sequel, but instead of being FMV, it resembled Street Fighter?
Sticking with Video Game Densetsu for just a bit; an old PSone game that’s gotten renewed interest, mostly due to a live action adaption of the source material that bombed spectacularly, is Ghost In The Shell. And here’s a bunch of illustrations for the game (many of which I hadn’t seen before, and a few are slightly NSFW, FYI/BTW), not from GitS creator Masamune Shirow, but Toshihiro Kawamoto, who was one of the chief architects behind Cowboy Bebop…
And here’s an illustration from one of Shirow’s contemporaries, for the autumn of 1997 edition of the Tokyo Game Show, by Katsuhiro Otomo…
Something else that’s kinda/sorta related is Akira X Dragon Quest (via spaceleech)…
beautyofabandonedplaces recently posted the following image, which is the remains of an abandoned television game show set Canada…
… It prompted the following observation from lunaticobscurity…
“a fighting game stage waiting to happen”
… And that led vice-s-assistant to post a gif that demonstrates how IT ALREADY HAPPENED!!!
Yet another example of real life, or in this case an app, resembling a game, or vice versa (via beat-ignition)…
Now more than ever, I do my best to avoid politics around these parts, yet I can’t help but share this awesome clip by of Alex Jones on the Sega CD, which I originally saw via @HappyHarryToons, though the following is VMU Dream’s copy
youtube
Another clip from Twitter that I had to upload onto YouTube myself (in case anyone was wondering, I did ask the creator if a link was handy, but I’m also the impatient type; if there are any objections, I will not hesitate to take my copy down) is of the Konami logo in its entirety, which is actually quite rare, by @goodvideozone…
youtube
Which souped up Game Boy do you prefer? huzzahdave’s…
Or bootersbordello’s…
May as well re-post another oldie but goodie, though unlike last week, am going to keep my mouth shut (not that there’s much to say to start with)…

acnl hacking guide (soundhax)
Background:
I found out what hacking was maybe a year back or so, and I really wanted to hack my town. But sadly, after doing some research, I found out I couldn’t hack my town because my 3DS was updated to a version unable to hack. I was pretty upset, until about a month ago I heard about the Soundhax release. I tried it, and to my surprise, it was pretty simple and easy to use. I know other guides are out there, but I thought I would make one to help people who are new to hacking (like myself). I am nowhere near a professional at this, just someone trying to help. So without further ado, here is my hacking guide (pictures are included)!
What you need:
~a digital or physical copy of ACNL
~a 3DS running version 11.2.0-35 or below
~a computer that can read your SD card
Questions I am probably going to receive a lot:
~I am stuck on [insert step number here] HELP??!!
You probably missed a small step somewhere. First off, power off your DS and try again. Sometimes homebrew won’t open for me and I don’t know why. If that doesn’t work, try whatever step you were on again. If it still doesn’t work, message me!
~Do I have to make a backup every time I want to edit?
YES YES YES! If something happens to your town, it’s an easy fix to just inject your last used save/edit. Without backups, you may not be able to fix this.
~Can I use the internet with this hack?
Yes and no. As I am typing up this guide there has not been a firmware update. I am able to use the internet and applications that need it. However, if an update comes along, it may automatically update. As far as I know soundhax cannot operate on any firmware higher than 11.2.0-35, so if you do end up updating you probably wont be able to use soundhax. There may be a patch for higher firmware in the furture, but it is not certain. Your best bet is to not use internet or find a way to block the update. (here is a guide on reddit)
Actual Guide:
(FYI: I am doing this all on a windows computer)
1. start off by downloading the following
~homebrew launcher starter kit and otherapp here
-make sure to put in your firmware before you download otherapp
(if you can’t find your devices’s firmware, open settings and it should be in the bottom right corner on the top screen)
~soundhax here
-again, make sure to put in your correct firmware and what DS you have (old/new)
~svdt save manager here
-click on ‘clone or download’, then download zip
2. Remove your SD card from your DS and pop it into your computer.
-Open your SD card up, and your downloads folder. All the things we just downloaded should be in downloads folder.
-open/unzip ‘starter’ and drag the contents into your SD card
-drag ‘POST5′ (this is otherapp) into your SD card
-rename the file otherapp.bin
-drag soundhax over into your SD card
-open/unzip ‘svdt-master’ and drag the contents into the 3ds folder on your SD card
3. Now it’s time to dump our save!
-basically what this is doing is making a backup of your current animal crossing game
-you always want to have a backup in case something goes horribly wrong :(
-eject your SD card from your computer and insert it back into your DS
-turn on your DS and open the sound application
-tap open on ‘/SDCARD’
-you should see ‘
-tap play
-the sound app will crash, and the screen will look something like this
-after flickering a few times, the homebrew launcher should open!
-tap ‘svdt-master’ (sometimes you have to tap twice, because it might not be selected yet)
-tap ‘svdt’
-press A to select ‘Animal Crossing: New Leaf’
-if you have done everything correctly, the bottom screen will flash red, then this menu will pop up
-congratulations! you have successfully dumped your save!
-press start twice, then A to exit out of homebrew
4. Here comes the fun part: actually editing your town!
-turn off your DS, take out the SD card, and insert it into your computer
-now that we have made a save of our town, we can edit it
-open animal crossing new leaf save editor here
-please note that neither Marc Robledo (the creator of acnl save editor) nor I am responsible for anything that happens to your town or data
-use this tool purely at your own risk
-open your garden_plus.dat file with acnl save editor
-welcome to acnl save editor!
-I won’t go over every detail of how to use it (if this guide does well enough i’ll do another one of just acnl save editor)
~basically, the map tab shows a pixelated map of your town
-you can delete items, or add new ones pretty much anywhere!
-left click to place items, or if you are holding nothing it will delete items
-right click to copy items already on the map
-you can delete rocks, but make sure you have a least 2
-you can move buildings and pwps already on the map under the buildings sidebar
-you can change how your map looks in the acres section
-be careful with this though, you need to have certain features for your file to not corrupt or your game not work
-I do not know how to use this feature yet… sorry!
~you can edit your mayor and other characters in the players tab
-this tab is pretty self explanatory
-this is where you can max out your bank account, medals, meow coupons, encyclopedia, emotions, and badges
~the island tab is where you can, get this, edit your island :)
-basically you can place any items you want
-you can edit your island map, but again, just like the main town map, be careful. you could mess up your save if you don’t do it a certain way (I would advise against it anyway, unless you know what you are doing)
-edit your villagers in the villagers tab
-you can swap your current villagers for any villager you want! :o
-you can edit their catchphrase, unbox a moving villager, and even reset a villager back to default (this resets their catchphrase, clothes, and furniture)
-you can also change your past villagers and who is at the campsite or in the RVs
~the shops tab
-change what is being displayed in virtually every shop available
-you can also change what custom designs are being displayed in the Able Sisters shop
~the other tab is where you can change your town info
-I haven’t tried any of these settings out yet, except to change my town tree size stage from 5 to 7 and unlocking all pwps
-so basically just do some research before changing to much
-hit save changes once you are done editing your town (don’t worry, you can always edit it more whenever you would like)
5. Injecting your edited save
-this is the final step to hacking your town, yay!
-open up your SD card folder and make two new folders: one called ‘acnl new save’ and one called ‘acnl old saves’ (I’ll explain why later)
-move your ‘garden_plus.dat’ file you downloaded from acnl save editor to the ‘acnl new save’ folder
-eject your SD card from your computer and put it back into your DS
-open up homebrew (open the sound app, then play ‘
-homebrew should look like this when it is open
-use the D pad to move the little >>> arrow on the top screen
-move it down to the ‘new acnl save’ file and press A
-choose the ‘garden_plus.dat file’ by pressing Y
-you will get a confirmation selection on the bottom screen
-press select to inject your edited save
-if the bottom screen gives you an ‘overwrite confirmed’ and a ‘finished!’ text you have successfully finished hacking your town!!!
-exit homebrew by pressing start twice and then A
-open up your acnl game to check out your edits!
*IMPORTANT*
-always make a backup of your save every time before you begin to edit
-open homebrew to dump your existing save
-edit using acnl save editor
-move your old ‘garden_plus.dat’ file into the ‘old acnl saves’ folder
-save your edits and download your new ‘garden_plus.dat’ file
-move it to the ‘new acnl saves’ folder
-it is important to only have one garden_plus file in your ‘new acnl saves’, otherwise homebrew cannot inject the file you want
-i like to rename my old files with numbers, so I know which one is which
So that was my ACNL hacking guide! I hope this was able to help you! If you have any questions, concerns, comments, anything at all, please message me!

ThumbReel Review : Overview
What is ThumbReel
ThumbReel Review – Let’s be straightforward. I know this makes us look somewhat shallow, however, we as a whole choose to watch a video by its thumbnail. In actuality, aside from the title, a thumbnail is among the top deciding elements that urge us to snap to the video. What’s more, regardless of how diligently we attempt to make a fascinating video, you quickly neglect to draw in watchers on the off chance that you put a bad thumbnail on it.
Perhaps you miss this basic news, most video makers and advertisers who despite the fact that makes extraordinary recordings, wind up distributing their recordings in a surge and pick a screen catch from their video as a thumbnail. Thus, picking an exhausting, uninteresting thumbnail brings about lesser snaps and perspectives on the video on YouTube, Google, Facebook, Vimeo, and different stages.
Likewise, most who wish to make a thumbnail wind up making predictable revolting thumbnails that do little to help improve snaps and perspectives because of the absence of innovativeness and photoshop/altering abilities. All things considered, ask yourself: for what reason don’t they enlist a fashioner and get these thumbnail stuff progressively proficient? Remain practical my master, employing a planning group to deal with this little issue is a misuse of cash!
Anyway, don’t freeze. In this audit, I will present ThumbReel, which is a handy ideal business answer for tackling your video thumbnail issues.

Baldur’s Gate – Exploration of the Highest Cheatin’ Degree
Chapter One - Candlekeep Chicanery
I’ve replayed the games in this series so many times I’ve lost count, and I love it. But sometimes, I just want to explore and not actually take the game too seriously, or see what else I can find out after all these years. So, I’ve decided to do a game break playthrough.
PC will be overtly overpowered, through the magic of EE Keeper
I’ll CTRL+Q anyone with a name into the party to check out what they may be able to offer
Essentially I’m looking for anyone with a class or cool loot
Also, where NPCs are met but can’t join at that time, I want to see what their stats, loot and classes are (it does differ, Imoen at Candlekeep is a mage with 12, 10, 9, 12, 12, 10 stats if you force join her then instead of waiting for her to find you after Gorion’s death)
I’ll be pickpocketing anything with a pulse (or at least a blue ring round its feet) to see what I can get and how that impacts the game (ie. if I pickpocket Gorion’s belt in Candlekeep, I get a second antipode belt after he dies)
And I’ll be just generally breaking shit – like getting into areas that shouldn’t be possible yet.
Now if cheating offends you, obviously, this playthrough isn’t for you. And seriously, relax guy!
Anywho, without further ado, I give you…Tarquinn!
As you can see Tarquinn is a multiclassed Fighter, Mage, Thief and I’ve also given him some cleric spells for good measure too, so he could easily solo this without a problem.
And then I’ve trumped up his innate abilities too.
Oh one note, I’ve set the game to normal (I was originally on storymode but I didn’t like that it altered their strength to 25, and wanted to give a proper showing of their stats, so I redid a bit of this first bit, just general fyi it looks like totally neutral npcs are set with stats of all 9s – ie. Winthrop, the Tutors). And, there’ll be a lot of spoilers too, so yeah, watch out for that.
So, let’s go about and do some stuff. First off, we’re in Winthrop’s Inn – I’ve already got a set of bolts for Fuller for later, but let’s see what these guys have to offer us.
The locked chest in the downstairs has 18gp, armour and infravision mage scrolls.
No one on this level of the Inn has anything we can pick pocket.
Winthrop:
No class, and no equipment. No spells or innate abilities either.
Note: As he’s a shopkeeper, I’d recommend not forcejoining him, else you’ll lose the shop, even though his shop sells nothing that impressive, it is a rest option.
Firebead Elvenhair:
Now we can’t keep this load of the game else we’ll not be able to compare Firebead’s Candlekeep version with his Beregost incarnation, but he has no class so he’s useless to us anyway. He has an unidentified traveler’s robe and a dagger on him.
He is obviously a mage of some description though as he has mage spells in his mage book:
Level 1 = Magic Missile
Level 2 = Agannazar’s Scorcher, Horror, Melf’s Acid Arrow
And nothing innate assigned.
Note: If you do forcejoin him you’ll miss a quest in Beregost to retrieve a book for him. And make sure you complete the scroll quest in Candlekeep before forcejoining him too to get the full benefits.
Tutors:
I forcejoined the two tutors in Winthrop’s Inn, and they had nothing also, but, one was ‘ready to level up’ and one had ‘1250xp’ to go to next level. Although the ready to level one’s level up button wasn’t actually highlighted/working.
NB: I didn’t bother rescreenshotting their stats after restarting the game on normal mode because they would clearly be all 9s.
So I decided to force some XP onto them to see what happens. And it forced a crash. But to be fair, I’m expecting a LOT of crashes.
Nobleman & Noblewoman
These two are classless, all 9s and nothing to steal/on them.
Time to go upstairs of the Inn. The first locked chest just has a pearl necklace.
The second locked chest has 36gp and a potion of clarity.
The locked chest with the nobleman has 86gp and a flamedance ring.
The fourth locked chest has a star sapphire gem.
And the two nobleman have nothing that you can pickpocket. You will meet a Watcher here if you’ve just picked that chest open in the room with the nobleman, I’ve decided to just kill him and then I’ll go top up my reputation later at the priest quarters, but you could also just CTRL+Y him.
If you CTRL+Q the watcher, he’s very ordinary, has no class (literally!), just has the gear described below on him and that’s it.
For killing the watcher you get 175xp, but lose 5 rep points, and he’ll drop a quarterstaff (you’d think they’d at least get swords), a helmet and a plate armour. I’m going to leave the staff as it’s unsellable, but I’ll flog the rest off to Winthrop downstairs AND he’ll have to clean this up later. MUHAHAHAHAHA I’m so evil!!
NB: One thing to note, if you forcejoin npcs to your party, a lot of the time when you try to remove them they won’t show in the remove party screen, just click on the left most blank space and click remove and they’ll go. Also, don’t forcejoin anyone who is plot pivotal (I’ll note who those npcs are in this playthrough), else it’ll screw up your game royally. If you see an npc you really want, use the CLUA Console to create creature and add them that way (I’ll include instructions where relevant).
And removing the guard before killing him crashed my game, hooray!
Nobleman upstairs
Both are all 9s, no class, no equipment and can’t be pickpocketed for anything.
Tutor outside Winthrop’s
Again, he’s unremarkable – all 9s for stats, no equipment or spells or innate abilities.
Bag of Holding (cheats)
One thing I forgot to do at the start, create a bag of holding. With all my looting I’m going to want to hold it all, plus if I am meticulous about putting things away in the bag, then I can always tell when I’ve successfully pickpocketed, what items I pinched.
When creating these bags, some come with a bunch of times already in them, bag31 is consistently empty across the games, so it’s my go to. You can’t do this unless you’ve enabled cheats in your game (note that now it’s the baldur.lua file not the baldur.ini file you have to edit).
To enable cheats:
Open baldur.lua in notepad (it will usually sit in your C:/)
Add the following line SetPrivateProfileString('Program Options','Debug Mode','1')
Save the file.
NB: My file will look slightly different to yours because I’ve played multiple games on this install, so it’s got all sorts of stuff in it, like me trying to respawn M’Khiin in Siege of Dragonspear when she randomly disappeared from the camp.
Once the cheats are enabled, on a PC you use CTRL+SPACE to get the command bar up, and then enter the code as per below. You need to ensure you have at least one spare spot in your backpack before you create the bag though, else it won’t appear.
To create the bag:
C:CreateItem(“bag31”)
NB: Being pickpocketing anyone, even if you have godlike stats, always do a quick save just in case they go hostile, else you might fudge up your game.
Phlydia
You can pickpocket this lady, and you’ll get a lynx eye gem for your trouble.
She’s classless, but has a little gear on her – gold necklace, dagger, unidentified robe of fire resistance and of course once you give it back to her, a copy of the history of halruaa.
Although no innate abilities, she does have a few spells in her arsenal – Magic Missile, Melf’s Acid Arrow, Stinking Cloud and Ghost Armour.
Tutors between Winthrop’s and Dreppin
All unremarkable guys, 9s for stats, no gear, no abilities, no spells, no nothing.
Watcher near Dreppin
Same old, same old, nothing but the usual armour, helm and staff.
Shank
Inside this building near the cow herder is an assassin named Shank, and he’s our first class assigned npc! Given how quickly he talks/goes hostile, he seems to be unpickpocketable.
Haha, I love this, he has a dagger as his weapon and wait for it…..a dagger in his quick items (which is illegal!), once you remove said dagger from quick items, you can’t put it back.
And, he even has innate abilities – why wouldn’t he use his poison weapon on us at this stage, it’d result in so many more reloads/deaths.
Interestingly enough too, if you kill him, only one dagger is dropped.
If you want Shank:
C:CreateCreature(“shank”)
Note: I’d recommend killing Shank and then after Parda approaches and talks to you, CLUA him in if you want him, else you *might* break the game.
Inside the locked chest is another dagger.
Parda
You have no idea how many reloads I had to do to CTRL+Q this mofo. But I gots him!!
And he’s average, epic sad panda. 9s for stats, no class, no gear, no nothing.
On reload after not forcejoining him, I managed to pickpocket him, and unsurprisingly, nothing.
Sidenote, you can pickpocket one of the cows (the one closest to Shank’s hideout) but it has nothing, if you try to pickpocket any other cows it just looks like you’re trying to mouthrape them, which is bad mmkay.
Dreppin
No pickpocketing here, not even after you give him the potion for Nessa. He’s unclassed, and has just a staff and the potion on his person.
Priest
We can’t pickpocket the priest, and not just for moral reasons. He has no class, but he does have unique stats, and one spell on hand – hold person. Surely a priest should have lay on hands or cure or something instead right. He has no gear or innate abilities either.
Given we killed that watcher from before, we need to sort out our reputation, but we have bugger all money, so cheating time again.
Using the CLUA Console, I’ll add a cool mill to my coffers, once you hit the CTRL+SPACE to bring up the cheat screen, you can now (in Enhanced Edition) just click Give Gold and add as much as you’d like, before you had to use the command bar with something like C:AddGold(“1000000”).
And having spent 23,600gp (100gp x 1 which did nothing; 1,000gp x 11 two of which did nothing before I realised; and 2,500gp x 5), I’ve got myself up to 17 rep points. Plus I heard a couple of rumours.
NB: It says my journal was updated with information about a festival east of Nashkel, but nothing’s showing.
Tutor near Priest
Nothing. Just nothing. Stats all 9s.
Jondalar & Erik
Ol’ Jonds has a class of mage, whoddathunkit! Just a quarterstaff on his person though. And interestingly enough even though he has no mage spells memorized or learned, his magebook isn’t greyed out like everyone else so far that has had mage spells on hand.
So, Jondalar might be an interesting NPC – let’s level him up and see if he can learn a spell or two.
Yep, all works, I levelled him up from Level 3 to Level 9, and he wrote the Armour and Infravision spells to his book and memorised them like a champ.
If you want Jondalar in your party:
C:CreateCreature(“jondal”)
Erik on the other hand has no class, but does have a bit of gear – quarterstaff, bow (which apparently he can’t use, and a hidden arrow that doesn’t show up if you right-click or try to move it).
Oh and he’s a super weakling, he’s packing 7lbs of gear and he’s over his limit of 5lbs. But if you’re quick enough, you can pickpocket him for his longbow.
Reevor
Again, classless, but he does have a battle axe and chain mail on him.
So I decided to see what happens when I forcejoin the rats and cats inside Reevor’s storehouse – well cats are straight 9s, rats have 3 str and 9 everything else, but rats do have super cute little paperdolls.
Hull
Nothing to pickpocket. But after you give him his sword, if you try again, you can pickpocket…..his quarterstaff. After you return his sword, he’s got a sword, helmet and plate armour (he’ll have a quarterstaff too if you didn’t pickpocket it). He’s unclassed, no spells or innate abilities.
Keeper of the Portal
Holy shit snacks, ol’ mate is packing 959 hp!! His class is unassigned, but his stats aren’t too shabby. His got a long sword, small shield and plate armour. And he says “I’m not a doormat!�� when prodded. But otherwise, he’s not much chop.
So I levelled him up (didn’t break the game), EEKeeper’d a portrait and made him a fighter/thief. But the level up did nothing, so he’s really shiny but not much else. Oh and nothing to pick.
Gatewarden
No class, has a buckler, chain mail and a club. And nothing to steal either.
Priest (inside Clinic)
You can pickpocket this guy for a healing potion. But he has nothing else to offer, except 2 hold person cleric spells memorised. If you talk to this guy he’ll give you a healing potion for free too.
Reader
He has nothing to pickpocket or to offer your party, he’s all 9s.
I decided to forcejoin the three sleepers in the clinic, their inventories are greyed out, they have nothing in terms of actions when you select them and their stats are all 9s.
And the locked drawer has a further healing potion.
Obe
Nothing to steal, but is assigned the mage class.
He’s got no gear, and disappointingly only has level 1 mage spells to offer – Armour, Colour Spray, Identify, Magic Missile and Sleep, with all but Armour memorised.
Note: Even if you forcejoin Obe, he’ll still ask you periodically if you’ve had enough, but if you kick him out, you can’t talk to him to get out of the area, you’ll have to wait til he asks you again.
Arkanis*
Not to be confused with Arkanis Gath. This dwarven fighter comes with a helmet, a medium shield, chain mail, 60 arrows, a battle axe and a longbow
Note: He will appear in the catacombs under Candlekeep to help you when all the dopplegangers attack, so best to CLUA him in rather than use MoveToArea if you want that extra help later.
Canderous*
This human cleric comes with a small shield +1, a helmet, plate armour and a mace.
He also has a couple of level 1 cleric spells ready to go – Bless, Command, Detect Evil and Protection from Evil.
Candy also has Lay on Hands as an innate spell.
Osprey*
NB: Fun fact, I always thought Osprey was the elven sheila for some reason.
This half-elven cleric/mage multiclasser comes with a Wand of the Heavens, medium shield and a war hammer.
She has quite a few level 1 cleric spells available to her (out of shot is the Shilleagh spell) but only has Command and Magical Stone memorised at present. Plus she’s got two whole mage spells to choose from Identify and Magic Missile.
And bonus, she’s also got Invisibility as an innate spell.
Mordaine*
This elven invoker (mage) is carrying 80 darts and a Wand of Magic Missiles.
She’s got three mage spells to her name – Burning Hands, Chromatic Orb and Magic Missile.
And for her innate ability, she’s got Slow Poison.
Deder*
NB: Normally Deder would have a different portrait, but because I took that, the game’s given him Coran’s default portrait.
This Halfling fighter/thief (the default portrait does not say Halfling to me) has on his person a potion of healing, a potion of oil of speed, a short sword and a studded leather armour.
And as expected, Set Snare is his innate ability.
*How to get the NPCs from Obe’s training into your party:
1) CLUA them in:
C:CreateCreature(“arkani”)
C:CreateCreature(“cander”)
C:CreateCreature(“osprey”)
C:CreateCreature(“mordai”)
C:CreateCreature(“deder”)
2) Export yourself after all the training you’ve had out of the area via CLUA commands back to Candlekeep (it’ll take you outside the keep, you’ll have to CTRL+J your party back inside the walls):
C:MoveToArea(“AR2600”)
The two locked chests in Obe’s training area have nothing in them.
Carbos
Carbos should be called carbon, because he’s a copy of Shank – can be pickpocketed for a dagger, has two daggers on his person, including 1 in the quick items slot and is assigned the assassin class.
Like Shank he also has two innate abilities – Set Snare and Poison Weapon.
If you want Carbos:
C:CreateCreature(“carbos”)
Note: His death triggers Karan approaching and talking to you, I’d suggest CLUAing him in if you want him, after you’ve spoken with Karan.
Karan
He’s got nothing, all 9s, no gear, no spells, no innates, nothing. Exactly how are these guys meant to protect things in Candlekeep, the Watchers just have ordinary quarterstaff, even the priests don’t memorise cure spells.
Fuller
Even after you give him bolts, he’s got nothing to steal off him. He’s unclassed, and is only carrying 1 bolt (which I gave him), plate armour and a quarterstaff. Nothing else is doing – no innate abilities etc.
Note: Make sure you give him the bolts first if you do decide to forcejoin him, else you’ll miss out potentially on a dagger +1 (if your rep is good).
The watcher in here has nothing special either.
But, to avoid having to deal with more watchers, I forcejoined the pair of them so no one could ‘notice me’ breaking into the locked chests, and here’s what I found:
#1 – dagger and long sword
#2 – war hammer and a dagger
#3 – battle axe (no, not someone’s mother in law)
#4 – long sword and mace
Imoen
If you forcejoin her now she won’t follow you after Gorion’s death, she’ll be there the whole time and you’ll miss that dialogue part but should be okay from there, however, you’ll be taking her with crappier stats and as a mage not a thief. She also has nothing on her at this point and nothing to pickpocket off her, so you’ll miss getting a wand early on, plus a few potions.
She only has one memorised slot per level (levels 1-8 only). Let’s see what happens if we level her up. I gave her 50k of xp and she’s now got 5 slots for level 1, 4 slots for levels 2 & 3 and 3 slots for level 4 and 2 for level 5.
Oddly she has 0/1 memorised cleric spells for all levels too.
Gorion
If you pickpocket him you’ll get his unidentified Belt of Antipode (you’ll get a second one of it off his corpse too).
He’s unclassed, has an unremovable unidentified (I clicked it and it identified itself) knave’s robe, a dagger and the scroll you find on his corpse. He has no belt because I’ve pickpocketed it off.
No wonder he dies – he’s only got Flame Arrow and Lightning Bolt on hand, and even then, not memorised.
If you want Gorion:
C:CreateCreature(“gorion”)
Note: He’s pivotal to progressing the story, so if you want him CLUA him in, else you’ll not be able to progress the storyline properly.
Tethoril
You can pickpocket the identify scroll that Firebead quested you to retrieve off him, but you won’t get a second one from him if you do.
He’s unclassed but has massive hit points and looks like he’s begging to be forcejoined and dual classed.
Randomly, he has 0/7 cleric spells memorised for level 5, has flame strike and nothing else.
And, in his quick item it shows the identify scroll if you click him, but if you go into his gear, nothing. And once you click on the quick item slots, it disappears.
Note: He’ll rescue you from prison much later in the game, probably best to leave him be.
Chanters
Nothing to steal from any of them, they all have no class, and are just equipped with quarterstaves. They have varying stats, or at least the chanter has different ones from the voices, but otherwise nothing else to offer.
And that’s everyone currently in Candlekeep!
Fun fact for reading all the way through: Someone on the facebook group I’m part of for the BG series said you can kill Gorion. You can. But it’ll instantly kill you as well. And if you pussy out and send one of your people to go try to kill him for you (someone you’ve CTRL+Q’d) and Gorion kills them, then that autokills your PC too. Killing Gorion nets you 4000xp just before you die.
