Very much this last one

It's surreal seeing Ross's initiative reach this far out. Surreal in a good way, of course, but still very surreal.

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.

If you see this on your dashboard, reblog this, NO MATTER WHAT and all your dreams and wishes will come true.

Putting out a call: if you like my content at all, please consider pledging to my stream Patreon. I make my living from Patreon, it's my sole source of income, and between my blog and my streams, I make $700-800 a month. That pays for the room I rent and my bills, but I'm really just scraping by beyond that, even when I can get past my anxiety to blog a bunch in a month. A dollar per month, a dollar per stream, anything in between. It all helps me. (I get paid per stream I do, but you can set a monthly limit on how many streams your pledge will be for.) Hell, if I have any rich fans, pledge a bunch per stream, it really would change my life :P

I also have a slot open right now where you can pick a game for me to play once per month, on days of your choosing that are available (though be aware that people choose in the order they pledged). If you pick that tier, please contact me via Discord (I'm "loreweaver" on there) so we can discuss what game you'd like me to play and so I can contact you when it's time to make the upcoming month's schedule.

Also, please reblog this and spread this around! Every eye on this helps. Any amount people are willing to pledge helps. Thank you in advance to anyone who does--if it weren't for you guys, I'd still be a telemarketer or burger flipper and getting my soul sucked out on a daily basis.

Thank you again to anyone who took the time to read this.

One thing I really love about seedy anime websites and YouTube mp3 converters is like. They actually do what they say they’re doing. But they WILL try to trick you into downloading a virus. Like it’s almost just a greeting at this point. I try to extract a song from a YouTube video and it says free VPN installer tonight perhaps? Free VPN installer tonight queen? And I say YouTube-mp3 converter you sly dog, you know what I’m here for. Show me the goods. And YouTube-mp3 converter says ahhh you got me, no getting one over on you. Thought it was worth a try tho. Here you go king x

Rosemary? You mean spicy pine needles?

My favorite comment about this has to be about how Courage knows exactly who Light Yagami is and knows he's targeting Murial, but has no way to convince anyone and the climax of the episode is Courage at the DMV anxiously waiting for Murial's name to be legally changed as Light is slowly and dramatically writing her name in the Death Note

last tutorial from september: the comic shots tutorial. when i was a younger more impressionable artist, my favorite comic author said to draw comic panels like frames of a storyboard or a movie. now that i’m older and have my own thoughts, i understand why someone would say something that i feel is frequently so wrong.

originally, i had a big comics tutorial planned, but i’ve decided to break it down into smaller tutorials. comics are all about efficiency because they are so time-consuming. anything that saves the artist time is a relief, so this is simply a reference for quickly determining what kind of basic shot to use and why a basic shot might look “weird” until you give it a simple fix by cropping it differently. in art, rules beg to be broken, so don’t take it as advice you can’t go against. shot choice is very complex, but i’ll save thoughts on that for a later tutorial.
