There's an EU initiative going on right now that essentially boils down to wanting to force videogame publishers with paid games and/or games with paid elements such as DLC, expansions and microtransactions to leave said games in a playable state after they end support, or in simpler terms, make them stop killing games.

A "playable state" would be something like an offline mode for previously always online titles, or the ability for people to host their own servers where reasonably possible just to name some examples.

I don't think I need to tell anyone that having something you paid for being taken from you is bad, which is a thing that routinely happens with live service and other always online games with a notable recent example being The Crew which is now permanently unplayable.

Any EU citizen is eligible to sign the initiative, but only once and if you mess up that's it. You can find it here. (https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en)

Even if you're not European or you signed it already, you can share this initiative with anyone who is, even if they don't care about videogames specifically because this needs a million signatures and there is different thresholds that need to be met for each EU country for their votes to even count and could also be a precedent for other similar practices like when Sony removed a bunch of Discovery TV content people paid for.

Decided to re-draw Shauna's lodge art with Shauna because of yesterday's Masters EX datamine. 😛

Nothing wrong, just a peaceful scenery near her, right? RIGHT?

[ Shauna belongs to @ask-a-silvy ]

Original for comparison

(monday ask) what would the dreams of your character if they were effected by the infinite tsukuyomi?

*sliding in from the void*

For Shauna? Hoo boy.

Her dream would probably surround the thing that happened to her as a child. The thing that changed everything.

Hello 👋,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Aziz, and I’m reaching out with a heartfelt plea to help my family find safety and reunite with our mother. 😞

The ongoing war in Gaza has torn my family apart. My mother and newborn sister are stranded in Egypt, while I, along with the rest of my sex family members, am trapped in the midst of the genocide in Gaza. We have not only been separated but have also lost our home and are enduring unimaginable hardships. 💔

Your support can make a difference. Whether by reading our story, donating, or sharing our campaign with others, you can help us reunite, find safety, and start anew. 🙏🕊

Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for your kindness, compassion, and solidarity during this difficult time. ❤🍉

🚨 Important Notice

The accounts under the name

[🍉Voice of Tareq's family 🇵🇸]

are genuine and not fraudulent, as some may think.

The fundraising campaign for my family has been verified by multiple trusted sources, including

@gazavetters Line number #160 ✔️ ButterflyEffect Project #599 ✔️ paliliberation #95 and ✔️ @a-shade-of-blue . ✔️

These accounts were created to amplify our voice due to the lack of electricity in Gaza and the instability of the internet, which makes it difficult to reach people.

Our goal is to amplify our voice and convey our message to as many people as possible.

New update for the campaign goal ‼️

📆 Date: December 6, 2024

🎯 Short-term goal: $20,000

✅ Amount raised so far: $17,935

💵 Remaining to reach the goal: $2,065

📅 Donations received since the last update: $2,487 only

If 100 people donate a small amount like $20, we will be able to achieve the first goal.Please consider donating even a small amount like $5, $10, or $20 to help raise funds. And remember, resharing or spreading the word to reach more people can help a lot in achieving this goal!

I apologize for the lack of updates recently, as I’ve been busy helping my brother @mohammadayyad1 during his injury treatment and caring for my grandfather, who was suffering from severe pneumonia.

After diagnosis, it turned out he needed urgent surgery. Thankfully, the operation was successfully performed at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, and his condition is now stable, though he remains hospitalized.

Thank you so much to everyone who inquired about us or supported us. I kindly ask for your continued support to help us reach our goal.

Restoring Life for Waseem’s Family: Rising Again 🙏🏼

🇵🇸🚨🇵🇸🚨🇵🇸🚨🇵🇸🚨🇵🇸🚨🇵🇸🚨🇵🇸🚨🇵🇸🚨🇵🇸🚨

Hello, my name is Waseem Abusafi from Gaza-Palestine. and I am 34 years old, I have a 3-year-old son named Qais, and my wife Amal Asqoul is 27 years old. I worked in the field of accounting for companies and institutions for 12 years. My wife worked as a psychologist in international organizations.

The recent war has turned our lives upside down 💔. Our area, infrastructure, and entire community were destroyed 🥲. We lost many family members, most dearly my eldest and youngest aunts, along with their children and grandchildren, in an airstrike at the same time and place. They were innocent civilians with no connection to the war. We were forced to relocate from northern Gaza to the south, and have been displaced multiple times in search of safety.

🍉🇵🇸🍉🇵🇸🍉🇵🇸🍉🇵🇸🍉🇵🇸🍉🇵🇸🍉🇵🇸🍉

What did my child Qais do to deserve starting his life between the alleys of a tent in extreme heat? There is no water, electricity, food, or medicine. We are barely surviving, and it's extremely difficult 💔🇵🇸. The place where we live houses 2 million displaced people in an area of just 5 square kilometers.

Despite the immense grief and loss, we are determined to protect our son and rebuild our lives. We need your help to evacuate to Egypt and start anew. 🙏🏼

It's Time To Investigate SevenArt.ai

sevenart.ai is a website that uses ai to generate images.

Except, that's not all it can do.

It can also overlay ai filters onto images to create the illusion that the algorithm created these images.

And its primary image source is Tumblr.

It scrapes through the site for recent images that are at least 10 days old and has some notes attached to it, as well as copying the tags to make the unsuspecting user think that the post was from a genuine user.

No image is safe. Art, photography, screenshots, you name it.

Initially I thought that these are bots that just repost images from their site as well as bastardizations of pictures across tumblr, until a user by the name of @nataliedecorsair discovered that these "bots" can also block users and restrict replies.

Not only that, but these bots do not procreate and multiply like most bots do. Or at least, they have.

The following are the list of bots that have been found on this very site. Brace yourself. It's gonna be a long one:

The oldest ones have been created in March, started scraping in June/July, and later additions to the family have been created in July.

So, I have come to the conclusion that these accounts might be run by a combination of bot and human. Cyborg, if you will.

But it still doesn't answer my main question:

Who is running the whole operation?

The site itself gave us zero answers to work with.

No copyright, no link to the engine where the site is being used on, except for the sign in thingy (which I did.)

I gave the site a fake email and a shitty password.

Turns out it doesn't function like most sites that ask for an email and password.

Didn't check the burner email, the password isn't fully dotted and available for the whole world to see, and, and this is the important thing...

My browser didn't detect that this was an email and password thingy.

And there was no log off feature.

This could mean two things.

Either we have a site that doesn't have a functioning email and password database, or that we have a bunch of gullible people throwing their email and password in for people to potentially steal.

I can't confirm or deny these facts, because, again, the site has little to work with.

The code? Generic as all hell.

Tried searching for more information about this site, like the server it's on, or who owned the site, or something. ANYTHING.

Multiple sites pulled me in different directions. One site said it originates in Iceland. Others say its in California or Canada.

Luckily, the server it used was the same. Its powered by Cloudflare.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what to do with any of this information.

If you have any further information about this site, let me know.

Until there is a clear answer, we need to keep doing what we are doing.

Spread the word and report about these cretins.

If they want attention, then they are gonna get the worst attention.
