Hi it’s me again!

I always think a joke about that scene from Empire strikes back being Vader hosting a dinner party is so funny to me

Because, like it gives the vibes of your dad sitting you down from one of those talks where you know you’re in trouble. But your boyfriend is also there, and so is his best friend, his ex (cough Lando), and his rival. Bonus points because the rival happens to be your dad’s best friend.

I don’t know I just want to know the discussion that happened after those doors closed LMAO

LMAO YEAH top ten messiest dinner parties ever

(donation doodles! // tip jar)

I literally choked on my drink _TWICE_ while reading this.

There's really nothing I could add to improve this.

💥🙌👏

The End of Every Story by Xandria has been running through my head for the last day or so.

FYI, Itch does not tell publishers who redeems the free copies of games that are offered there (only monetary purchases); I assume that you commented with thanks after you got the last copy of the game that was up for grabs, but if for any reason they were gone before you got there, let me know and I'll hook you up with a copy. I said in my initial post for the game I would gladly provide a copy to anyone who wanted it but just couldn't swing it right now (trust me, I'm poor too!), and you and I have been mutual followers for a long time in addition.

I appreciate the thought, but I did manage to snag the last one! But eventually I'm still going to buy a copy for a friend. Thank you again!

Here's my review for the new horror game, Decarnation!

[shonasof]

6 porn/spambots in a single visit. @staff, please do something! I am about to use adblock to hide the notification button! I'll loose a ton of functionality on the site, but it's past the point where being a volunteer moderator is overshadowing the remaining enjoyment I get from the site. it's tired of spending so much effort on pulling up and reporting these accounts every day.

Lost Epic Review

I reviewed this fun Action platformer with Elden Ring style gameplay mechanics. It's available on PlayStation, Steam, and Switch if you think it looks interesting.

[shonasof]

I've been reporting and blocking for months now. You say ' if we don't stop them...' but we really can't without support from @staff and I've seen NOTHING. I'm tired of 3/4 of my interactions on this site being a volunteer moderator.

What happens when you don't report pornbots

What you can see here are among the most popular posts for the convin (Connor/Gavin Detroit Become Human) tag for the last month. And presumably lollipop, cityscape, rick day, eva long, dostoyevsky, and all the other random, unrelated tags added to these posts.

You can see two identical posts made by separate bots that feature a bit.ly (so, disguised, you don't know whether the address is safe/where you're going) link to a website that contains an image of a pretty young woman (but who knows what else).

Each post is liked by about a dozen other bots, and only bots. (I reported them all, so can confirm their profiles were obviously those of bots/porn bots.) Some of them even use the same image in the pfp. Some are developed blogs full of porn images, some are clearly newer and don't even have a pfp yet. They are all gaining legitimacy from each other by the likes which act as links to their Tumblrs, and adding legitimacy to the post they have liked, which links to their ultimate goal: the site where they make money in undoubtedly dodgy ways.

They are doing this to legitimise their websites for search engines like Google, but if you don't care about that, it has the same effect in your Tumblr tags.

If we don't stop them, ALL your favourite hashtags are going to be full of meaningless posts like this, and probably porn you don't want to see (very different from porn you DO want to see).

This is why we report and block, lads. Not just because they are annoying and irrelevant to us, but because if we don't stop them they will take over this hellsite, and they very clearly do not understand the nature of the hell in which we live.

[shonasof]

PLEASE.

@staff I am _begging_ you to enact some sort of solution that prevents these empty, blatant spam/porn accounts from following others.

I feel like a solid 50% of my interactions with this site are getting emails about them following me, and then having to verify that they're spam before reporting and blocking.

Perhaps some setup where new accounts can follow other blogs freely, but it doesn't actually show up to the person being followed or anyone else until their account has generated a history of regular posts and interactions.

This is awesome! It pairs well with the Mercury livery I made in Gran Turismo a few years ago.

Unexpected crossover!

I was thinking of how the trim of the Orville uniforms was similar to Kirk's TMP uniform and I had to make this!

Those Trek uniforms desperately needed more color anyway.

(EDIT) I added a more complete conversion to the Orville style uniform.

Henson was amazing. Just on the fly you can see so much life brought into this muppet. And even though each arm is controlled by a different person, you completely forgot about that within seconds. This is also how the Swedish Chef is performed! Bork!

Another image that I've never seen a quality scan of before. I saw it again today and thought it could use some TLC!

You can see the source image I was working from here: https://files.yande.re/image/77c8f73ec3aaabd6ef525b1040285d68/yande.re%2017208%20ranma_%C2%BD%20shampoo.jpg

You can also see my version at full resolution on my Deviantart page as Tumblr can be strangely insistent about only offering resized copies. https://www.deviantart.com/shonasof/art/Shampoo-from-Ranma-1-2-Image-Restoration-913619822

@everythingranma gave me a challenging image of a telephone card to fix up, and after an evening of work, here's the result!!
