The "No One Cares" Show, Ep.81: Unifans, Next Exit

https://peertube.anon-kenkai.com/w/i5jmVPUbD65SLHMdk4ySSG

In which we introduce "Unifans", a (relatively) new fan support platform, investigate its background, explain its pros and cons, and offer a few ideas of how it could be useful to the Parallel Economy.

Special thanks (again) to @JustDisa from "Crippled Media" for being the first to bring this to anybody's attention, as far as I know.

PSA: Uninstall Funkwhale NOW.

Funkwhale has gone off the deep end and is now trying to add a
hardcoded music blocklist which will apply to songs in your personal music library - not just instances that host far-right podcasts, or the like. Because nothing is more anti-fascist than... not allowing people to listen to their own music on their own computers??? (What in the performative dictatorial nonsense?!)

This is an incredibly dangerous idea - not only is it a centralised blocklist that
applies to your personal media collection and cannot be opted out of, it's also AUTO-GENERATED FROM FUCKING WIKIDATA(!) (The dev insists that outsourcing to Wikidata makes it decentralised and immune to problems, btw...)

It's March 14th, and you know what that means! God's Disdain is OUT NOW!! Huzzah! If you like the old-school nature of SNES RPGs like Dragon Quest as well as the worlds of games like The Elder Scrolls, this is the game for you!

God's Disdain is a non-linear, turn-based JRPG about a world stricken by a mysterious plague. As Tamiko, alongside her brother Kenshin and other friends you find along the way, you must find a way to stop the plague for good and either save Hajimari or damn it. There are tons of side quests, dungeons, and unique locations to check out as well as plenty of gear and magic! The world is totally open for you to explore... what will you find?

Many people have contributed to this game over the course of the last near-decade, and we would all appreciate you trying it out! God's Disdain is free to play with an optional Supporter Pack if you like the game. There is no DRM and all the game files are completely accessible if you would like to mess around with it! Enjoy :)

God's Disdain releases in just 24 hours! That's right! The non-linear JRPG nearly a decade in development will FINALLY be available soon, and for free! Check it out tomorrow when it launches, and perhaps buy the Supporter Pack if you enjoy it :dance_cool_doge:

My fren showed me this funny cat comic yesterday and I made the cat's shirt in Animal Crossing. 👽

It's been a long journey since that faithful December in 2022 where I stumbled across Checkmate's #retro monitors by absolute chance through the YT algorithm!
It is no joke when I say this engineering marvel is one of my absolute favorite things I own now. To my knowledge, every single connection for retro consoles and old computers are present here! And it looks beautiful! Even new games look fantastic.

Attn XMR users: I used to think Coinsbee was a decent source of prepaid cards purchasable in Monero, but just today they sold me an already-used code I was unable to redeem. Their support also brushed me off, and now I'm out the funds. Would not recommend.

Last year I became aware of Silverstone's awesome retro FLP01 PC case and I managed to secure one earlier this week after their initial limited release! There is still some stock left for North America from the Central Computers online store. They shipped out my case the same day too! More cases are coming in March but Central Computers has bought the remaining stock for their store for now. They are selling extremely well in NA. The case originally started as an April Fool's joke but the demand for the retro aesthetic was understimated! Silverstone decided to do a limited release to test the waters now. The pseudo floppy disk compartment is where you put the optical drive. 💾

I'm going to build a mini Linux system for media using the case and my old PC parts. 🪛 I have a really solid AM4 system to put in here and I'm only missing a smaller GPU and a traditional air cooler! Finding a decent and affordable GPU to fit in the case has been my biggest challenge so far, as my old Red Devil is out of the question for fitting in. This will be my first PC I attempt to build all by myself so let's hope I don't blow anything up. 🙏

Idk which Linux distro I will use but you can let me know which one you like most! I'm fairly new to Linux but want to get used to it more.

I also like that I can make a curvy male body with these models. Male and female anatomy, even in a chibi and stylized drawing, is different. I wanted to make sure to keep male specific anatomy for my OCs despite them being pudgy and round. My favorite artist Zankuro also does this when he draws chubby boys.

I also made an experimental shortstack body for my other OC but that one is a bit of a mess and somehow the butt reset itself to 0 and I didn't realize it. :kekw: I will make it less jagged and round some other time. The 3D models are really helpful but take a long time to fiddle with!

I also bought a Stickybones figure but it's on backorder and taking ages to arrive. They are the best armatures for artists but they are a skeleton, so I still can't see how muscles actually move. The Clip Studio models help with that.

Show thread

This year, I am finally working on my art more! I'm having trouble with muscles and the way they move. I bought a good book about anatomy some time ago but because I'm dyslexic and have ADHD, it's very hard for me to read it at all. I also had this issue in school. me retarded. :pepeDrool:
I started to use the 3D model feature in Clip Studio! I made this pudgy body for my OC after realizing the original torso was too slim.
What do you guys think of the model? I have not drawn over the pudgy body yet. The original torso I drew was too slim!

Praying for my Baraag bros. 😢 🙏 Think over 75% of my follows on here come from there lol
