One of the worst things to come out of the political and social polarization over the past decade is that virtually everything you do or use is a political statement. Sure, it was probably always the case, but it's more apparent now.

Like if you use an (allegedly) privacy-focused email provider instead of Gmail, it gives off the idea that you subscribe to a niche or radical political ideology that justifies hiding yourself from the feds. Maybe you just simply want a private email provider, but given that those providers are often used by political dissidents and the MSM will write hit-pieces on them it does give off that vibe. It wouldn't surprise me if people had their job applications rejected because they used a Proton email address or something like that.

This is probably why many white market businesses and services like Steam stopped accepting crypto, besides the government regulations. All of the sudden, cryptocurrency became associated with ancaps and the alt-right and by using it, even for legitimate purposes, you are pandering to them.

Of course, this is probably all by design, but it gets really frustrating that living a slightly different lifestyle means that you are some political extremist that should be put on a government red-flag list.

The levels are now bigger the deeper you go. It was something that I realized that I haven't implemented yet. This is the second to last level and the video demonstrates how it's bigger than usual.

What did I do to attract so many furries on this account?

It can't be my pfp because furries are generally more attracted to realistic depictions of anthropomorphic animals. Usagi is nowhere near that level.

I simply can't compose music. Like I can come up with simple scales and that stuff, but trying to compose something of a specific genre or to fit a certain situation is something I simply can't do. Part of that is because I always associate certain situations with songs/pieces I already know and I can never come up with anything else. Like, I always associate being underwater with the Dire Dire Docks/Jolly Roger Bay OST from Super Mario 64. It evens plays in my head when I'm underwater IRL. I can't think of anything else, even in my own games I have a copyrighted song playing in my head when visioning a certain situation.

I guess I'm stuck with using stock music or having to get someone else to compose music for my games.
