Yeah! I really miss working there. So many colleagues became lifelong friends :)
But I also was never allowed to ask about what happened with the watermark ππ
Hehe I remember having to burn a copy of Okami on my cracked ps2 to play it earlier in the uk. Also I used to work at the company that did the wii port so it's always the first thing I think about πππ
Important question is; is the Wii copy the one with the IGN watermark or the fixed copy? π
It's not easy work but it ain't gonna do itself. π€
Sometimes being out of touch with the youths works out cause I genuinely thought this is what the word meant anyway. π Thanks for your writing! I always appreciate it, even tho it's labor upon you to correct misuse, it is most helpful and great for future linking. π

Haha that sounds dope!! I've never LARPd so it's prolly not my bag but I'm glad there is a big turnout!
Ditto would just be like bubble gum!
Where was this and why wasn't I invited ππ
Okay total overshare but I'm a trans man and since transitioning physically from a feminine body to a masculine body, the redistribution of fat/muscle on my butt and uh... hair growth... has made my farts sound a lot louder and aggressive. Definitely was not expecting that one.

Another photo of a cat sitting inside a donut shaped bed. She is partially perched on the rim. It doesnβt look comfortable at all

Everything about how your puppy car moves is a joy to behold.
Big hugs your way. π«
Nah, it will all be all white convertibles mustangs. I've rented when I've been there and that's all they ever have on the lots. Driving my Miata thru LA was hell tho tbh. Manual in standstill traffic, constantly dodging out of the way of 18 wheelers... Not a fun time overall. Country roads rip tho
I'm so pissed that my phones predictive text has got measureably worse over the last few years. π©
Yes but they'll sadly give you a Mustang when you want a Miata. π
Sad. Creating is the one thing we have going for us. Anyone who hates the process doesn't like making things.
Yeah cause typewriters were built by siphoning the uncredited works of millions and spitting them out into a paste. Nice analogy.
You've obviously never rigged a model with bad topology. Spoken like someone who doesn't value the creative process at all.
I even had one tell me using AI helped her and pulled the disabled and trans on me without realizing like... Guess what!!! I am too (well, in the same way she was saying) and I have made immeasurably more creative works with zero AI involvement. No reply lol.
Embarrassed to see yet another trans person shill AI. A lot of people actually enjoy modeling and topology. Haven't you seen all the throwback stuff to PS1 games? There is beauty in minimalism. Arrogant to assume just cause you don't like it that everyone else doesn't.
Thank you. Those are kind words. I know so many people like me out here who feel the same way. But we also know we'd be among the first to be slaughtered and no one would blink an eye. That doesn't deter me, but it not a smart play. You are right; we need to stay alive for it to matter, for now.
Maybe then I will rest enough to be able to fight again. When I'm surrounded by family, tho I can't say I'll be going to a system that's any more forgiving, infact in some ways I'm going to have to fight harder than before just to exist. (Terf island is called as such for a reason).
I appreciate that, but I haven't fought very hard for anyone but myself at this point. It's not an excuse to do nothing. But no amount of rest is fixing it. The US is eating me inside and out by being here. My only means of survival currently is by leaving, which I'm currently in the process of
And if I fight and fall and no one catches me - it'll be another pointless death. Watching a man burn alive in protest rather than be deployed against Palestinians didn't seem to move the needle. The culture is every person for themselves and that is reflected globally
Every facet of myself is drained. Existence is not joy, it's just there. I drag myself thru each day. A major problem with the US is there is no community and no support. If I fight, no one will catch me when I fall. It's not built into the culture. And that will take a long time to foster.
