I am absolutely thrilled to share some incredible news with all of you. 🌻 🏠🌻Thanks to your unwavering support and the opportunities that came my way, I am delighted to announce that I am no longer homeless! I have successfully secured a home 🙏 that is conveniently located within walking distance of my part-time job at the restaurant. However, I have used all of my earnings from my job, as well as the donations I received, to acquire housing. As a result, I am in urgent need of help to renew my medication, Latuda. It is a critical component of my mental health treatment, and its absence could potentially impede my progress. With a hopeful heart, I am humbly reaching out to you once again to kindly ask for your support. Your financial assistance, no matter how small, will make an immense difference in ensuring I can continue taking my medication and maintain my well-being. (Goal $242.00/$0 As of Thurs July 20)

Please understand that I recognize not everyone may be able to contribute financially, and that is perfectly okay. If you are unable to provide monetary assistance, I would be eternally grateful if you could help spread the word about my current situation. Your support and encouragement, in any form, mean the world to me. Click the link below to read more.

Words cannot adequately express the profound impact your kindness, compassion, and unwavering support have had on my life. Your belief in me has given me strength, and I promise 🙏 to dedicate myself fully to rebuilding my life and seizing this opportunity. From the depths of my heart, I extend my heartfelt thanks for being the guiding light that has led me to a place of hope and stability. Your continued support is invaluable, and I will forever be grateful for everything you have done.

Anyway its in a really annoyingly out of the way place but in the wake of this stupid ass layout change "experiment"

This is the contact support form which is also the giving feedback form. I imagine this is more likely to get listened to than replying to staff posts with incoherent rage so I recommend just telling them the layout change is really bad before they get a chance to commit to it:

Please be more eloquent than this example. Also to the users with unchecked anger issues that you think makes you cool: no violently threatening the support team please that will help nothing and probably just be counterintuitive Just say the layout is bad and you don't like it. I believe in my heart that we can perform a #ThisNewLayoutSucksAssSweep

CGI animators should unionize next. normally, their jobs would be too precarious to strike, since studios would replace them without a second thought, but if it's part of this larger general film strike, they might finally have meaningful power to better their working conditions

if CGI animators unionized, it would kill the MCU. straight up. the the entire business model is built on exploiting CGI animators

Why are they moving.

I'm just gonna slide this on in here for anyone that is interested in preserving old games. They take it very seriously too, they want an archive of every single game. Like, they have lists of every game ever released for a system, and once that system gets old enough, they add it to their archive and start collecting. Their latest addition was the Xbox 360, they opened that vault up in September 2022, and proudly announced they'd finished their collection of games for it back in April.

Also, while their game archives are almost entirely complete, they've got another project of archiving the manuals that came with those games, and that is... considerably less well filled out. Their collection of Xbox 360 manuals is especially rough, they've only gotten manuals for three games. So if you've got some Xbox 360 games kicking around, and the manual's still with them, please consider scanning them and submitting them to the site!

Game preservation is important, but people rarely consider preserving the manuals as well; I really respect Vimm's Lair for being so thorough in their archival work.

DASHBOARD UNFUCKER V1.0

as 90% of desktop users have probably found out, today @staff released an update that for some insane reason COMPLETELY remodels the dashboard to replicate twitter's. this is of course in the wake of numerous other thoroughly hated changes and a continued refusal to fix any of the site's actual problems, half of which stem directly from site management.

HOWEVER, thanks to the power of jQuery, i was able to throw together a userscript that remodels the dashboard back to its original look almost perfectly.

here is my dashboard right now, with the script active:

and here is the old dashboard in separate tab container that hasn't received the update:

it's hardly perfect; i had trouble making it force reload to the fixed layout when switching between other pages and the dashboard, and it currently only fixes just the dashboard. it's also completely untested on browsers other than firefox, and chances are it looks a bit screwy on ultrawide monitors. but for now at least, it's a good fix.

the unfucker is a tampermonkey userscript. all you have to do to use it is install the tampermonkey extension, hit "create new script", and replace the default code on the page with the script (link here) and save it.
