Resist.
I really hate to make posts like this but I'm really struggling with food this week and my spouse doesn't get paid until next week.

Clever little budget-priced CPRG just left early access with a good launch discount, too.
A weird swampy fantasy setting, semi-real-time combat ala Vagrant Story and a cool claymation-esque art style. Also hugely undersold so far.
Go check it out, RPG folks.

Our Wonderland is a horror visual novel packed with gay yearning, self discovery, destructive love squares, and overwrought dramatics.
It's also got so many effects that sometimes it feels like you're watching a movie π½οΈπΏ

The document says the FBI believes that whoever manages the Proton Mail account likely has administrative access to the blog. The FBI received details about that Proton Mail account from the Swiss authorities via a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty, or MLAT. An MLAT is when authorities in one country agree to provide information to an agency in another country. These are often used when the company or entity holding the information may only respond to local law enforcement demands for data.
Edward Shone, head of communications for Proton AG, the company behind Proton Mail, told 404 Media in an email: βWe want to first clarify that Proton did not provide any information to the FBI, the information was obtained from the Swiss justice department via MLAT. Proton only provides the limited information that we have when issued with a legally binding order from Swiss authorities, which can only happen after all Swiss legal checks are passed. This is an important distinction because Proton operates exclusively under Swiss law.β Functionally, though, the material was provided to the FBI.
Important that people read the article & understand the mechanisms by which these things occur so they can determine their best options now and in the future (i.e., if the Swiss gov't ends the MLAT, the FBI will no longer have that avenue to collect this data. With today's USG, it is a possibility).
New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...
A scan of the cover of Animetrix, Summer/Fall 1996. AD Vision, AnimeEigo, CPM, Viz, Pioneer, etc are all listed. Illustrations of popular characters and series such as Ranma, Dirty Pair, Macross/Robotech, and Hyper Iria give it some rpesenation sizzle.
A scan of the inside cover and contests, with ADV geting the inside cover billing with their releases of Golden Boy and Super Atragon. What's inside - ADV, Bubblegum Crisis, CPM, Manga Titles, AineEigo, Record of Lodoss War - and more!

This may be the one and only issue of what was going to be a bi-yearly catalogue listing releases from across the North American anime industry and showcasing some landmark titles. A pretty useful who's who and what's what buyers guide.
Circumstances have changed, and Im trying to raise 6000 USD.
I have an ongoing 20% off sale in my shop and a ko-fi.
I currently have emergency commissions up on ko-fi

I hate American Airlines (and my life right now tbh)
TL;DR: I am out a few hundred bucks because of the airline's godawful cancelation policy and the last week has been god awful for reasons I will not get into.
I just want to recoup what I lost if possible.

And BOOM goes the dynamite. To all the AI Bros who have slid into my mentions to tell me that you CAN in fact copyright AI materials, the Supreme Court has told you to go suck rocks. A prompt is not authorship. And if there is no author, there is no valid copyright.

Happy anniversary to Phantasy Star 2's North American release on the Sega Genesis ππ₯³π
Released in 1990, it blew our minds with its darker sci-fi story, massive dungeons, and one of the most shocking moments in 16-bit RPG history.
An old school HP terminal, featuring CRT monitor, tape drive (internal top left), thermal printer (internal top right), keyboard (with 32 function keys and a keypad loosely based on HP calculators).

Nintendo's Nastiest War: WonderSwan vs Game Boy

For folks who haven't binged the entire Famidaily series already but wants to check out the early years in one clean swoop without intro/bumper cards, here you go.
Seriously, if you have any interest in 8-bit Nintendo whatsoever, this series is essential viewing.
I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.

Everyone's gaga over Segagaga's translation - because it originated from machine translation. In my latest musings, I ponder over the ethics of using machine translation in fan translation projects and wonder if there is more than just expediency and efficiency in life.
