#I need to get the HOS images on here though... If I don't post HOS no one will....

[solradguy]

Is there a canonical reason why Sol was dripped out in the middle of the Holy War during his greasy trash man era?

Do you think Kliff gave him an allowance and one day and he went into town then came back Riot branded head to toe? Do you think Riot sponsored the Holy War?

I like to imagine Kliff put him in charge of the month’s funds for food and Sol spent it all on his designed Riot Holy Order Uniform. Then Kliff said “Haha Sol you have spent all of our money we will now starve” and then it was a really awkward month that made Sol decide to leave the Order

Post-Begin to post-Crusades Sol basically doesn't have any lore so you can just say whatever and it has just as high odds of maybe being true some day tbh lol

Sol was a bounty hunter before joining the Holy Order though. Probably he rolled up with fat stacks of cash, they showed him the uniform and he was like "fuck OFF I only wear red," and then had his boys over at Riot make him a custom tailored Holy Order uniform with its stupid fingerless-not-fingerless gloves with steel fingernails with RIOT stamped on them

but then Sol didn't have any money left over and ate all the Holy Order's food and Kliff said they will now starve anyway

How some versions of Ironfist are supposed to sound Aussie. Try rereading Last Stand of the Wreckers like that.

Tokyo Ska dropping a new song.

Trying to make up transforming figures in my head that don't exist for certain characters and getting pissed the next morning because I don't have them. Only thing stopping me is lack of access to a resin printer.

I am Mox/Moxter and have been a bot nerd since I was an anklebiter. Mostly gung-ho about other stuff like practical effects, costuming, figures/models, 3D modelling, old tech, lizards, and birding. I do art a little too, but I’m not too fond of the idea of putting it out on here quite yet. I mainly study tech communications, visual effects, and language. Couple years of Spanish but also picking up and learning bits of Japanese and Welsh when I can. I apologize beforehand if you see my dumb ass getting long-winded about Tailgate (full reason being too long to explain here).

I’m generally invested into anything related to toy design— mostly TakaraTomy, HasTak, and Sunrise bot stuff is my focus though. I am hooked on the design development surrounding Binaltech and Alternators for better or worse.

And wouldn't you know, a bunch of car robots helped me to realize what I should re-prioritize my career track to be. That's the power of my dumb special interest at work ( •̀ .̫ •́ )✧.

cross posting from the wrong blog.

Oct 5

I'm not okay with my body image right now because I have to pack for Disney and the weather is warmer than I expected so I can't just hide in a big hoodie and I wanted to look cute but I just don't think I'll look cute or nice or anything other than a big fat blob of awful and I really don't want to ruin this with a fucking breakdown about how fat I am and how none of my clothes fit.

and the worst thing is I have no one but S to talk to this about. I have no girl friends I can't just pop up and say I feel like crap hype me up and help me find something fun to wear. I've never understood those scenes in coming of age films where the girls are all sat around in one room trying on each others clothes and doing each others hair. I never got that. I've never had anyone like that. I've never had a best friend that way. I've never even had a friend that way. not for 15 years.

half my life. half my fucking life I've not had friends to confind it and talk about this with and work through the trauma of societies expectations with. half my life. the half where it's mattered. no one cares as a kid. a little kid. but man as soon as you're aware of what this fucking world has its eyes on and what it deems is good and right and everything is it banishes as wrongs it's just traumatic trying to do anything else with that .

and now somehow I'm meant to have dinnerrmmmmmmsurbdn

I broke and nearly threw my phone so I dropped it and punched my leg lots instead.

I'm great. I'm good. I'm doing absolutely fine. about to go on the holiday of a lifetime apparently. what a delight.

Oct 6?

I keep opening and closing social media. like someone opening the fridge again to see if new food has magically appeared.

I realised that when I say friend, in most cases I think I should say acquaintance. because they're not friends. we were tied by a common place and most of our conversation rotated around that common place. maybe all I get are acquaintances. and I need to be okay with that level of relationship somehow.

Oct 8

so today I get on a plane for the first time ever and no matter how much I try I can't freak myself out about it which is good I guess. everything will be fine and it'll be so much fun and such a delight ✨

I'm sat in an airport waiting for a plane to arrive. it's ten minutes late which is wild but hey ho.

security was stressful and wild but nevermind I got through with only one misshap which for my first time isn't too bad.

getting random pain in my left toes though and knees hurt occasionally, and a slight headache which I blame on stress and stimulation.

Oct 12

so we'll Disney was a big ball of surreal crazy

idk why but mornings were not good for me. next time we go away like that I need to prepare for mornings better.

yesterday I felt quite bad, waves of sickness if I stood for too long, sharp pains in my stomach and guts. felt better if I sat for a while. didn't feel good enough to eat so I had a small yogurt, a few mouthfuls of lunch (cauliflower and pork mostly) and an apple when I got home. not lots of water either but I just didn't feel good. also got to experience a wheelchair for the first time ever, useful but not hugely.

feel a little icky today still but I'll try and eat nice plain foods here and see how it goes. Sam is out to work all afternoon so if I end up sitting in the bathroom then that's what happenes.

Oct 15

bs: weak+tingly hands, sore feet, achy hip R, little snotty, sleepy, weepy eyes, sore L shoulder

ms: flat, concerned about money this month

went to bed about 11ish last night, don't remember taking the hoodie off, don't remember S coming to bed, woke up a couple times during the night, once where the roof of my mouth was intensely itchy so I had some CBD , went back to sleep till S alarm at 8.40. 9.5 hours ish maybe ? obviously still tired from travel and Disney. but back at work today.

Oct 16

bs: mild cramps, can't tell if ovaries or intestines. L hand bad pins and needles during night, especially 3rd finger. sleepy

I was very snotty yesterday, and a bit coughy and had several long sneezing fits. I took some meds and went to work and it seemed to clear up. wondering if there's some dust or mould or something that affects me in my studio room. but it's so small and compact I don't really know how to go about changing that, since I have so much stuff. and things in this house get mouldy even in the warmer months let alone over winter when it's damp. oh to have central heating.

What's tower of fantasy?

(you don't need to answer if you don't want too)

Ho boy, buckle up. You've activated my Rant Card.

Tower of Fantasy is a Chinese MMORPG Open world game created by Perfect World CO (I think, don't 100% quote me on that) that's been in development for some time now that was recently released to the global servers. This game was advertised to be a "Genshin Killer" and a lot of Genshin Haters/Antis latched onto the idea of toppling over the empire that Genshin has created for itself, ala where my personal disdain comes from (To those of you unaware, I have a.... personality quirk that if a piece of media is used to hate on something I actively enjoy, I start to hate that media, and can and will nitpick it apart which is why I tend to avoid media that falls in this category for me. Ala why I still have not read (and probably never will read) I'll Trade My Life For Yours.)

The game itself is a buggy, janky mess that looks like it's still in alpha/beta phases of development. The art style is inconsistent between the over world and characters (Some areas look fine but others look way out of place), the physics for some hair styles makes me want to gag, and the animations can vary wildly in quality. This is a company with a huge monopoly in China (from the research I've done at least) so these quality issues are inexcusable. At this point, they may never fix it either, as they've released their game to the globe and now will focus primarily on making money and updates than fixing past areas and bugs. The only major bug they fixed was an infinite pulls bug where if you disconnected your wifi, you could get an item but keep your pulls. When they sent out compensation with free pulls, the bug was present there and people have used that to infinitely pull on characters and get everything decked out, leaving people who where honest and didn't use the glitch in the dust.

The reason why I suspect the animations vary so much in quality is because a good chunk of their assets were originally plagiarized. ToF used a Honkai Impact 3rd Asset (A sword) in one of their Promotional videos (though the sword has since been removed and they've deleted the original PV for obvious reasons, but here is a screenshot of it here) and apparently an asset (Described here), stole an insignia from Rainbow Six (I cannot read chinese but here is a link comparing the two icons/insignias) and plagiarizing/heavily referencing an animator's work here, discussed in chinese here, (though the videos shown should be proof enough, and this is a small time animator against a big corporation mind you) and have used animations from Genshin Impact for their character animations, though these animations do have some differences and I can't tell if they were just, heavily referenced or flat out stolen, so keep that in mind.

They've also, for some god forsaken reason, just. Flat out used Venti in one of their ads. I reverse image searched the Venti drawing because I knew it didn't look like official art, and it looks like the Ad came from this youtube channel. Since the screen shot shows that it's an Ad rather than like, them mistakenly thinking they were watching an ad but actually watching his videos, they either: A, took his review of ToF and used it as an Ad with permission, or B: Stole his review of ToF to use as an ad. Either way, the use of this Venti icon makes me think it was the latter, because ToF has been trying to get the words "Genshin Impact" out of people's mouths in favor of their own game. If they had asked for permission, I'd assume they would have asked the YTer to send them a copy of the video without this Venti icon in the corner.

Regardless, I've just left a comment on the YTer's video in question asking if they had been aware of this Ad, but I'll update this post on the situation concerning this youtuber later on if/when he does respond.

They also botted their app reviews to make the game look good by stealing Genshin reviews and changing the names around. The reviews in the screenshot in the thread are translated, and the English translation is a bit funky, but I think maybe Yomiya's name seems to translate to "Night Palace", which is backed up by this Behindthename page on the name. Since that is consistent, I think the translator in the Reddit thread can be at least somewhat trusted on this front.

Another point of contention, though this is probably just a thing all developers of products do, is that Tower of Fantasy Sponsorships seem to be strangely targeted at Genshin Impact Content Creators. I've seen a TON of Tower of Fantasy Sponsorship reviews, and of course, there is no mention of Genshin or glaring negative aspects that the game devs are surely making the CCs hide with their contract.

Most horrifyingly, however, is the supposed selling/distribution of IDs of dead or missing individuals to allow global players access to the game to spread global hype.

For clarification, in China, in order to play a game like Genshin Impact or Tower of Fantasy, a majority of people need to use their ID, which is like... the equivalent of a Social Security Number here in the States. You cannot access Genshin or ToF's Chinese servers without these IDs (though apparently you can technically access the mobile port via a bilibili account, but I'm not sure how that works)

So naturally, it's apparently an unfortunately common thing for non-chinese users to buy these fake/dead/missing person's IDs to access the games early. However, what is concerning is the claims that the ToF devs were actively selling this information/the IDs or just, freely giving them out to global players. Here's another video from December of 2021 discussing this, and it's really telling that Tower of Fantasy stated that they had "No plans for a Global Server" and yet here we are, with a global server. Perhaps they changed their minds after the fact, but there's a lot of other damning evidence on the subject to prove that they were involved with the distribution of these fake IDs.

This is some speculation drifting about that there may be a racist element to things as well, and while you can customize your personal protagonist to be of any skin tone you desire, it seems that so far none of the pre-established characters are of color--and, in fact, there are enemies that ARE black and white with dreadlocks (a signature style of bi/poc). I'm not going to discuss this issue further as I have no verification of this and I am as pale as snow, but I thought it would be worth mentioning this testimony. I have not played the game myself, mind you, so this is a testimonial account and I cannot confirm or deny as I have not played the game myself. If there is actual evidence of this claim I will edit this post and put it here.

Another thing I want to point out is that the game has only been described to me, personally, as a "Genshin Killer." This is something to note, though as it is my personal experience to take with a grain of salt, that there isn't much to promote about the game that makes it stand out. The character creator is cool, but that's the only thing I've heard that ToF is bringing to the table and there are plenty of games who let you customize your character as it is.

Regardless of if you choose to play the game for yourselves or not, I urge you to do your own research and come to your own conclusions, and move forward with the game at your own comfort.

SMALL EDIT: I’ve seen people try to excuse Tower of Fantasy’s Plagiarism by insisting Genshin did it first--I’m assuming with BOTW--and I wanted to talk about that here.

1. It doesn’t make it right to copy the action if the action is poor. Someone stealing art and assets is never okay, no matter if someone else did it first. Tower of Fantasy doesn’t get a pass just because “Genshin did it first.”

2. If you are referring to Genshin Impact’s development team being heavily inspired by Breath of the Wild, I’m sorry but inspiration is not the same thing as blatant asset theft. They’ve also stated that Breath of the Wild was one of their main sources of inspirations for Genshin Impact, so it’s no secret the game was based off of BOTW + Nintendo, who is typically viciously protective of their IP, is allowing Genshin to get a Switch Port (Or at least it was presented on the table at some point, which I don’t think Nintendo would like if it was direct competition to their IP without some compensation), unlike ToF who is trying to push the plagiarism claims onto other companies they supposedly outsourced to.

I’m sure Hoyoverse has done some awful, terrible things themselves (Companies are not your friends, they are not gentle or kind) but that does not excuse some other company for doing it as well.

Hey thanks for tagging me in that callout.

I just wanna say that, that person did all of this because they broke the rules enough time to get a 24 hour ban group the group.

They did this within their ban too.

I can't say I didn't expect my name to be up here but I'm not mad, just a bit upset that I have to show my side of the argument now because it'll take hours to put the screenshots in chronological order.

I'll answer any questions in the meantime though.

Oh also before I feed my cat, Benedict <3,

I run an OPEN Arpg. You can make as many characters as you want to join, given they follow the guidelines. It's also stupidly easy to buy trait upgrades in the shop (once school ends I can finish the Shop updates and re-release it for Player use.)

Im going through major updates for the group, even trying to raise money for a coder because im 15 and have never touched a bit of coding in my life, no less the kind needed to make a Breeding roller/ Activity rollers.

Anyway tangent over,

Hope you have a good day Mod Shit/Whoever runs this blog.

Love,

The shithead ;)

oh ho ho ho you sack of shit it's time. i was having a pretty good day and then you green-beaked bitch had to open your stupid fucking mouth @pikku-peruna

for anyone curious this is what they are in reply to, talking mad shit to a user for breaking the rules: here and here

and then they have the AUDACITY to message me like this as if the user breaking a rule was somehow the problem here. read those messages again and you'd have to be intentionally obtuse of stupid or both to not see the way you talked to someone is the entire reason this is an issue in the first place

and THEN GUYS while i was out they seemed to get it through their thick head that what they said was going to bite them in the ass and tried to backtrack by messaging all around as if that didn't make them look worse. i'm posting it all here because you pikku are a sack of shit that needs to face the consequences of your actions idc that you're 15 you have no right to talk to someone else like that and it's honestly pathetic you're trying to use your age to protect you from clearly abusive language

even going to other messages to try and save your image

and then what is definitely pikku on anon trying to save their own ass:

Okay, you want me to be the adult in this situation? Then I will. I am going to hold you accountable for every single thing you said and did and I am not going to let you sweep this under the rug to protect yourself. You made a mistake but you clearly are not apologetic for anything and are only saying things to get out of judgement. You have hurt others and stepped all over them and then have the audacity to ask for pity.

You are a cunt that did all of this to yourself. Every single screenshot clearly show your own deplorable behavior. Your private message to me is also nothing but backhanded attempts to save your pride and manipulate things to your benefit. You know exactly what you are doing. It doesn't matter what the other user did either because the way you treated them, swore needlessly, acted flippant and dismissive, gave warnings and then a ban without consultation, is what is being laid out, not to mention all of this attempt to save your 'reputation' that you have sunk by your own two hands.

I don't need an apology from a canker sore like you. Perhaps one day you can look back on this and realize how much of this is your entire fault, but I doubt right now you can fathom it. Go fuck yourself, it's on the internet forever.

Eat shit.

[hoochy-coo]

For you & WS Anon- do you ever hear of any other movies having the same drama/set backs like DWD is rumored to be. Not even about HO getting together onset while she was still with J but with the editor quitting, the push backs of the release, no trailer, no release date even, doubled budget, etc.

Every DCEU film ever is muddled with the same problems and even more publicized. But then again these films are more relevant than DWD so their problems will be more known.

Okay I’m gonna ask, does WS anon know if hs is actually packin (I’m talking 7+)? Apparently he got weak stroke game though..

I think my lack of attraction for this man has prevented me from ever asking this question. I do know one of my friends claims (I can never verify this claim but she does work with models) one of her friends is one of Harry's regular hookups and says he's just ok. But they said he's nice though but doesn't really share anything too personal. Again I can never verify their claim cause our friends kept asking for the name but she never tells us who. I'm sure he has a lot of people he hooks up with but that seems to be my closest connection to that part of his life.

To you & WS anon: apparently Deuxmoi got banned from posting anything about Chris Evans and Holivia. Do we know why this came up and if the teams were involved in it?

Other people already answered this question perfectly. There is that obvious harrie among the mods though, it was clear when there was a perfectly mild conversation about Harry that didn't break any rules. More of talking about him being a player and it got locked. I do notice that specific mod and a bunch of people get angry at the mention of Harry doing pr. I don't know but this man incites incredible passion to make him look like a victim.

But anyway DM posted about holivia and Chris Evans again. The Chris Evans secret gf saga was one of my favorite telenovelas though.

Question for everyone but especially for Jessie and WS anon. What do you think this film needs so it can improve? Just based on the things we know or heard about it?

A release date probably. At least with that this film will look like it's heading towards a direction.

Her career and pr never looked like it had any direction or vision.

Am a noob about the industry. But can WS anon or maybe even you Jessie can explain this to me?

Jessie answered perfectly. I guess if you look at the careers of Leo, Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone, Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock, Chris Evans, Jake Gyllenhaal, Ryan Reynolds to name a few you could tell their pr gave them a certain image that went well with them, alongside choosing roles that either further elevated their fame or showed their talent. You don't even have to be an incredible talent in my opinion. The likes of Ryan Reynolds and Channing Tatum imo aren't incredible actors, but they got that break, won over people, had roles or did things that made them even more relevant. Another scale are the likes of Matthew McConaughey and Bradley Cooper who were known for pretty bad romcoms and for awhile studios didn't take them as serious actors, and then had that break commercially and critically that showed they're competent actors and pretty much put them on the list of best working actors today.

For Olivia I would say her break into mainstream fame was House and she tried to go big but the films that were supposed to propel her like Tron or Cowboys vs Aliens failed. Despite the fact she's a pretty recognizable face here, you don't really have an image of her or her personality nor has she done anything that memorable (until this year) that propelled her star.

In terms of Grimes, I want to say save her cause I think she’s an amazing artist but then I look at the big picture and I think she’s an enemy lol. We need to talk about Azealia Banks involvement in their relationship though

So we save her from Elon but give her a trial for her own crimes of dating a billionaire. I need Azealia to explain further the real life get out she's describing after being in their home.

ALSO, any tea on Blake Lively?

Apparently she really is super sweet and nice to everyone. A bit of a social climber too or at least back in the early days, but let's not hate celebs for doing what they need to do.

- Worcestershire Sauce anon

Psst I was sent by my friend here that a harrie blog mocked me. Saying I'm claiming not to be a Harry friend but go by WS anon. I should have gone by ketchup!!!

Also have you seen the Nick and Pri photo Jessie?

!!!!

I have and as per usual, they’re doing the MOST lmao
