Holy shit, I go to bed and I wake up 30% richer. Is :xmr: pumping this hard just over ZCash shitting itself or is something else going on?
https://mitra.anon-kenkai.com/media/b2435ee20a617b0e82e5a75f3118a3594244b3ff1b31ab924eb4c9cf832f8ae4.png

So, has anybody else experienced or heard of attempted fraudulent bank charges from a company called "Respontika"? I've heard anecdotally that banks have been dealing with these by the thousands over the past month or two.
From what I could see, Respontika is some online scam offering personality tests/online horoscopes. The normal scam is they charge a dollar for their "service", then attempt to pull anywhere from $15 to $40 after the fact and hope they get away with it.
But the stories I'm now hearing are that people who had nothing to do with Respontika, who never signed up for their shitty online personality test, are also getting hit with the same effects. First a one dollar transaction that slips the net, and then an attempted charge of $40 that recently is getting flagged as fraudulent by default.
Looking into Respontika as a legal entity, they're registered in Delaware (though not as an LLC, so I don't know how anonymous it is). But it seems weird to me that the bank fraud behaviour is extending to completely unrelated people who haven't touched their shitty website.

I've hit the part of Silksong where it just punches you in the balls over and over again. Sinner's Path was bad enough, but the Blasted Steps are parkour insanity. I'm going to give myself a stress headache trying to get through this shit.

2025-10-12 08:51:29 UTC

Following the stream yesterday, I've been playing Silksong more or less non-stop. I found my first alternate Crest, and it's another good way they differentiate from Hollow Knight.
A Crest (loadable/swappable when resting at benches) lets you change up your attack move-set. The base Crest (Hunter) is fast, nimble, and mostly seems to focus on quick strikes and evasion. The Crest I found (Reaper) changes the moveset to be slower and less mobile, but heavier hitting, changing up the way attacks move and the directions you threaten with swings.
On the whole, everything feels more modular, and there's more room to customize a loadout based on Crests and charms attached to them. Adds more of a strategic element which I enjoy. I continue to feel that Silksong isn't just "more Hollow Knight", they've actually improved on the forumla.

Well, finally finished Doll's Nest. I can confidently say it was a fun game, and I had a good time playing it. The environmental detail and sound design along were well worth the price of entry, but the gameplay, mobility, and sheer versatility of loadouts and weapon/robot part combinations you could put together were also very strong points.
It does have a problem with communicating information to the player. Sometimes levels are designed without much thought to where the player would be looking or how it would channel them through it. I missed an important boss area because the ramp leading down to it was hidden out of sight past a ledge and there was nothing drawing my attention towards it. This lead to me wandering around multiple areas for several hours trying to find something I'd missed before I stumbled across it.
The absolute wall of stats you need to figure out to get deep into the mechanics might be a bit much for anybody not hopped up on tylenol, but I managed to muddle through with trial-and-error, experimenting with parts and guns until I got a loadout that "felt right" and made me not die repeatedly.
Story was minimal, but this doesn't seem like the type of game to want to get bogged down with it. Much like DOOM or The Citadel, the gameplay and challenge take center stage, and the story is just the framing device that provides the impetus to send you out into its world.
I sure hope Nitroplus makes more like it, if not an outright sequel (or prequel, or whatever). The word of Hod is fascinating and visually gorgeous, and I would love to have an opportunity to see more of it and blow up more stuff in it.

@nprofile…y47p @nprofile…9rf2 @nprofile…2v62 @nprofile…mdcj If you see it as defeatist, that's on you. I see this as a realignment. Everything is based around megacorps because it's easier to censor and control. That's not an accident, that's by design. I want to see an underground flourish outside their control. If that means accepting changes, having a lower volume and output of content, then I accept it.
If you think a large scale megacorp funded industry is possible without control and censorship, I'd very much like to hear how. Because I'm not seeing it.

@nprofile…y47p @nprofile…9rf2 @nprofile…2v62 @nprofile…mdcj If you want to keep content at the rate/scale you have now, you'll need large corporations. And they'll always be easily censored. So if that's a requirement, then yes, you're fucked.
I realize it's not anime, but Space King is a good example of a model that seems to work out. Good quality animation, infrequent as it might be, funded largely by fan support via merchandise. It can be done, but not at the scale we're used to. So I'm just saying, either lower your expectations in the name of being free, or accept that you'll always have either globalist shitlibs or conservatard zealots adding studio notes to things you love.

@nprofile…mdcj @nprofile…9rf2 @nprofile…2v62 People can surprise you when they have their backs to the wall. But I don't think of it as "fighting" censorship so much as avoiding it. Or rather, ignoring it and routing around it. Some people will be willing to go underground, some will come around to it eventually. Most won't, but that's just the way people are.
The trick is to make the cost of enforcement as high as possible. As long as enforcing a law is too costly and difficult to do reliably, there's room for people to go underground.

@nprofile…mdcj @nprofile…9rf2 @nprofile…2v62 I think censorship was in the cards no matter what, and personally I'd say looking to government to help with that is a lost cause. I expect censorship from anybody with power, whatever party/faction/side they happen to be with.
Anti-censorship measures work best when they're bottom-up, not top-down. Torrenting has survived a quarter century because of this, and any good solution needs to follow the same blueprint. Swarm them with a thousand nodes of a distributed network and all they can really do is try to cut heads off the hydra faster than they grow back. Some people will get caught under the boot (sadly), but the whole will be able to survive.
There will be a reckoning where people making and distributing otaku media have to decide whether they're going to be cucks to the censors or operate like outlaws. People who choose the former will get winnowed out, and the rest will have to form subcultures of their own. Fedi is already starting to grow into the latter from what I can see.
As for Takaichi, all I really want from her is to be an absolute hardass on immigration, keep the low-quality third-worlders out, and address the needs of Japan for the Japanese first and foremost. The censorship shit we can deal with, and we'd get it either way, so it's better to only have that to deal with and not be doubly burdened with infinity browns and Muslim headchoppers forming enclaves.

BREAKING: Holy shit motherfuckers, the Prefectural chapters have spoken:
Takaichi - 36
Koizumi - 11
TOTAL (including diet votes):
Takaichi - 149 votes
Koizumi - 145 votes
Takaichi Sanae is effectively the 104th Prime Minister of Japan, barring a failure of confirmation in the National Diet. If she clear this minor hurdle, she'll be the first female politician in Japanese history, and she's anti-gay marriage and a nationalist hawk.

If Takaichi wins a significant enough majority of the rank-and-file member vote, the Aso faction votes could be enough to push her past the post and give her a first round win.

Ishikawa - Takaichi (~45%)
Yamanashi - Hayashi (??%)

Takaichi now has 17 prefectures to Koizumi's one win in Aomori, and a couple of wins to third rate candidates. Takaichi's performance is very strong so far, but this is far from over.

@nprofile…gxtz The LDP leadership race is more or less deciding the replacement Prime Minister of Japan. Kobayashi is being propped up by the pro-globalist types, Takaishi is a more conservative candidate coming from Shinzo Abe's school of politics.
The reality is, any LDP politician is kind of shit, and Takaichi has some godawful takes on how to run the country. But at this stage, "not being an all-out globalist dickrider" is the best outcome for a new Japanese PM.
Also, if Japan's first female Prime Minister turns out to be an anti-progressive conservative, that'll be a barrel of laughs and I can only image the seething and/or malding from the progressives if it happens.

The Dark Mod FM: "The Last Night on Crookshank Lane" Now Released
I'm happy to announce that my second FM, "The Last Night on Crookshank Lane", is now available on the Dark Mod Mission Database:
https://www.thedarkmod.com/missiondetails/?internalName=crookshank
Backup download is also available here:
https://share.anon-kenkai.com/crookshank.pk4
This is a much bigger and more ambitious FM than my first attempt, and it ended up taking a year and a half to complete. It was also a very educational lesson in the importance of proper map optimization. It's a sort of soft-sequel to "The Threepenny Revue", but not part of a series per se, and can be played as a standalone mission.
I took inspiration from FMs like "The Painter's Wife" in TDM, and "The Sound of a Burrick in a Room" from Thief Gold, and although I'd never put myself in the same league as either, I was always impressed by their size, scope, and detail. City exploration FMs have always been my favorite, and those maps and others like them inspired me to take a crack at something similar.

@nprofile…affl The Android Open Source Project is a publicly developed branch of Android which is used by other developers to create customized Android builds. A lot of non-Google Android phones use modified AOSP code for their own devices (Galaxy phones etc)
AOSP is also used to help develop after-market OSes (like Lineage and Graphene). Recently Google announced that AOSP development is going to be moved inside the company, and as such code will be less visible and less available. Everybody has to wait for a full release before they can adapt changes.
For projects like GrapheneOS this is a problem because now their ability to push updates is bottlenecked by the speed of AOSP releases. Combined with other anti-competitive Google practices, the ability to make Graphene work smoothly on Pixel 10 and future Pixel phones can't be guaranteed.
The Graphene people are now talking about crowdfunding to hire a manufacturer to produce phones with hardware specs designed for GrapheneOS... shit's expensive as fuck.
So yeah, Google's starting to close shit off and its making everybody else's life more difficult.

Surugaya has finally restored credit card payment to their online store, as per their blog post. Note the conspicuously absent names on the list of supported cards..

This weekend, it's time for the heists of tomorrow, today! Again! We revisit Cyber Knights Flashpoint following their full 1.0 release, and try the game again with all the new mechanics they've added in, with a new team that's legally distinct from Public Safety Section 9.
"Let's (Re)Try: Cyber Knights Flashpoint" is this Saturday June 7th, only on PeerTube

Public Call for DarkMod Beta Testing, "The Last Night in Stonemarket"
After a long year of tinkering and slaving over a hot DarkRadiant, I'm finally ready to start public beta testing of my new Dark Mod Fan Mission, "The Last Night in Stonemarket":
https://share.anon-kenkai.com/threepenny2.html
It's is a much bigger and more ambitious map than my first outing, and I'm sure it's in desperate need of outside eyes to help find and quash bugs. I'm mainly coordinating beta testing over at https://forums.thedarkmod.com/ , but if anybody plays DarkMod and wants to do some testing "out of band" over here, please feel free. I'd be happy to respond to feedback here.

As of tonight, we've completed The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. Very nice game, 9.5 outta 10. Imagine my surprise, thought, when Dagoth Ur did not, in fact, regale me with a racist tirade or read off a chicken Parmesan recipe, but just acted like a fantasy game villain.

@nprofile…h6f2 Do you have any idea when this'll be ready for public testing/use?

2025-05-25 15:23:01 UTC

I'm starting to put the finishing touches on the Dark Mod fan mission. The custom map assets have been made and included, did some recording for in-game voice quips tied to trigger brushes. Still trying to iron out areas where pathfinding causes framerate drops, but at this rate I think it'll be a week or so and we'll be ready to release the raw map files for beta testing and start prepping for final release.

This weekend, it isn't a skin condition OR a socially unacceptable fetish, it's actually a video game! In the same vein as SCORN, prepare for Beksinki- and Giger-inspired horrors beyond your comprehension and mine. Will it just be a walking simulator, or will genuine spoops be had? Tune in to find out.

So I guess I'll give Shadows of Doubt another try, looks like they updated some shit. Probably more deck-chair shuffling instead of dealing with the dozens of crippling bugs, but there's no other game that lets me throw whiskey bottles at so-called "non-binary" people, so I'll give them extra credit for that.

Watching people panic over Discord's enshittification crescendo is funny. Told you bitches to stop using that drek years ago.

Cyber Knights Flashpoint Update:
Richard Stallman is the unluckiest man alive... every heist he goes on, stray bullets and pissed off security guards always hone in on his fat ass and he ends up in the Triage center for a week after the job is done.
I gave him a break by sending him on a Legwork job to help give an underworld club some street cred by hanging out there, and he came back a party addict and I had to give him a pay raise to cover his extravagant new lifestyle.
Meanwhile, a Syndicate gang boss pissed off at our antics decided to sic a bounty hunter on us, who popped up in the middle of a stealth hacking job. I'm sure he thought he was a real badass, but instead of taking us out or posing any threat, he just ended up fighting the local security forces instead of us, creating the perfect distraction to let us finish the job and get away scott free, getting cut to shreds in the process. The whole affair was so embarrassing that the Syndicate boss who paid for all this actually suffered an Exposure Limit Break and lost a huge chunk of clout, and his position in the underworld is now precarious. Meanwhile, the hacker known as 4chan and his special needs gang are rolling in money, that will immediately go to a new hacker haven and a new 3d gun printer.
I love this game.

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.

Since "SCORN" was such a visual treat, I've made the executive decision to extend it to next week. As such, the streaming schedule was been changed up from my original plans:
・Saturday, November 2nd - Let's Keep Trying: Scorn [Part 2]
・Saturday, November 9th - Let's Play: Morrowind, The Adventures of Treshtog the Skooma Orc [Part 5]
・Saturday, November 16nd - Saturday Night Stealth: The Dark Mod, "Volta and the Stone"
・Saturday, November 23rd - Let's Play: Morrowind, The Adventures of Treshtog the Skooma Orc [Part 6]
There's a good chance we might finish SCORN before time is up next Saturday, so something else may get thrown into the mix to round out the night. Morrowind is getting bumped up a week, and the gap between them will be revisiting a top quality Dark Mod FM, "Volta and the Stone", in celebration of the recent release of Chapter 3 in the Volta series.
See you Saturday!

The more I actually try to use Bitcoin Lightning, the more I hate it. I just want to send and receive digital shekels. All of this shit about channels, inbound/outbound liquidity, etc is a pain in the ass and gets between me and what I want. The fact that channels can arbitrarily get closed, leaving money in limbo for days is even more shit.
AlbyHub closed a new channel I opened after 13 fucking minutes... now I need to fund another one if I want my wallet to work, but I can't the funds in AlbyHub because they're too few and stuck in closed channels anyway.
I have an embedded node Zeus wallet on a phone with enough sats to do the job, but oh no! The channel's stuck as Inactive, and even if it does activate properly, there's too many zombie channels so any attempt at payment times out and goes nowhere.
I won't pretend Monero hasn't given me headaches and borderline heart attacks in the past, but it's got nothing on this Lightning shit. When it works well it works well, but just one piece out of alignment and it all goes to shit. Lightning fucking sucks, and I'm not willing to pretend it doesn't.
