As expected, the servers are getting raped so people are unable to log in. This is why I didn't start the stream beforehand because I knew it would happen, so it would have been a whole lot of nothing and launcher errors.

I also screwed up by logging out the launcher to go do other things while the maintenance concluded; it was previously working. Now the launcher broke and it won't let me relog. 🫠
It's also broken for Japanese users.

It doesn't help them that retards like myself are trying to play on their server, so I will just try again in a few hours or on Wednesday during the daytime when it's downtime for Japan. Honestly feel bad for them but Amazon thought it was a genius idea to delay our version in favor of shit game Throne and Liberty, which is a glorified mobile game full of P2W and posing as a PC MMO. Remember kids, if the MMO comes from Korea, it's not a game at all but a casino disguised as a game that will be dead in 3-6 months.
This is what happens when people who don't play games run the industry.

The official Twitter gave a notice an hour ago that they are extending the maintenance of the game and website, so the launch is delayed.

Which also means the stream I planned is delayed. lol

Not sure when they are going to get the game going. If it gets really late, I may stream it sometime during Wednesday at this point.

I want to think that the "phone anti theft" on the 3rd ones is simply because they are so fucking shitty, nobody would possibly think of stealing such garbage.

Fell into another weird rabbit hole, this time of peculiar cellphones that are actually functional with a sim card.

I want to go back to monkey so I can use the Hello Kitty flip phone. Also featured some definitely not Coca Cola and Pepsi cellphones. Calo Caco and Ppesi.

I had a Trovo account and it's not under ANY email I have, even my fake ones. The site is weird because it also has absolutely no support ticket system at all. They have some support chat, that ironically, also needs you to log in. Bruh, I lost my account so how can I even log in? lol

That's an odd way to run a site that doesn't let you recover your account. I think I streamed on there once many years ago.

I also "heard" that Kick is paying streamers even if nobody watches them. Unsure how true this is, as I heard it from a fren. However, they are covering the $25 fee for breaking Twitch's contract and moving over to Kick. They are really trying to get people to drop Twitch.

I won't stop streaming on Pomf and support the service on SubStar because it really is an awesome service with no replacement but you just never know, specially when something is basically a one man show. It's good to have accounts in other similar places, too.

Assuming I can even get into the Japanese servers tomorrow, I will be streaming #BlueProtocol 's launch day on Tuesday at around 11pm EST on Pomf.

One of my good frens from my Blade & Soul ranking static is also joining me. I'm going into the game mostly blind and expecting the launch to be rocky with queues and disconnects, as I have yet to play an MMO that had a smooth launch in all my 20 years into the genre. I'll try to start the stream when I'm finally able to login!

I'll be going with Heavy Smasher, as this unique class caught my attention from the start and it has off tanking capabilities. I either play tank or range in MMOs.

We are aiming to get as much game time until we either get shitcanned by Bandai during maintenance or the language barrier becomes too heavy to bypass. We are mostly interested in seeing how the action combat performs and will hopefully pick the game back up whenever Amazon stops being busy sucking cocks and releases the global version.

Not everything they sell is total junk, like this cozy pizza blanket although I think the picture they have here is an ACTUAL pizza.
The Shining inspired statue also looks quite good!

I found some underwear that "protects your children" but I don't know if having a plastic dome covering your nuts is very practical at all!

Lastly, a very friendly Harambe shirt.

There's a certain artist that still owes me a big commission after a year and half. I'm at the point where I feel my art is decent enough that I don't even need his commission anymore either. I don't even want to use it because he has been such a headache to deal with. Do I even want to promote a person like this?

Guy keeps fucking off for months/weeks without working on it. Keeps popping back up when I confront him about it and says that he got depressed again and can't work on anything. Don't know how this guy even lives or hopes to make a living off art if he can't get anything done. He can't even work on the shit he keeps piling on from other clients. I feel at this point, he's better off filing disability from his depression if his country even offers it. He seems to be well enough to keep playing Overwatch and Minecraft though instead of working, since I have him added on Discord.

This is extremely frustrating and he's actually so close to getting it done. But he shades like 1 pixel and then shows me the "progress". Since he barely shades anything, of course it's taking so long. If he just shades the damn thing and adds the background I requested, then he would be done. He definitely doesn't want to work on it anymore but he keeps insisting he wants to finish it to "add to his portfolio". I think he has his work ethic to worry about more than his portfolio at this point.

Some of these guys have no issue taking money and spending it then never finishing the work they owe. This isn't the first artist that does this to me either but certainly the worst one so far. With the others, at least I have been able to get my money back or they finish just right before the buyer protection runs out. Of course I don't commission them ever again after.

This is actually one of the reasons I started to do my own art now. I'm tired of dealing with people like this. I already had the foundation to get started because I've been drawing most of my life. I just need to refine my skills at lot.

If you're wondering why I have even let it get to this point and you're thinking I'm retarded, then you are correct! I absolutely can't justify not putting my foot down on this. I won't let something like this occur again for sure. I'm too forgiving sometimes and it bites me in the ass.

Hell, I struggle with completing art too but the difference is I'm not getting paid for it and it's not my full time job either. This is why I won't ever do commissions and my inability to work on it is due to physical health issues, too. I know depression is also crippling but then I feel the guy shouldn't be handling money at this point.

I feel my patience is at its limit but I'm in a shitty situation where the commission is SO CLOSE to done and asking for a refund feels pointless after this much work is done. It's a very lovely commission of my OCs! I'd rather just have it, honestly.

Almost bought the shirt but I really have too many shirts already!

The eye medicine came from another day but I love the savagery.

So a couple of days ago, the site recommended a random Shrek tapestry and once I clicked on it, my entire feed got completely derailed with weird tapestries and other bizarre shit I'll put in the next post. Now I really want to rewatch Shrek.

More weird shit in an unfortunate literal sense.

AliExpress also has a colorful assortment of uncanny Nicholas Cage products that are somewhat comforting to me because they remind me of the good ol' internet.
