This isn't even all of the receipts I've received. Held together by a pen's clip right now

Stack of receipts viewed from the side. They're about 5 or 6 millimeters thick. There's the writing end of a gel pen beneath the stack.

I'm so confused. The form literally asks for a name and a one-to-two sentence description, and further clarifies that it's for spam prevention and you can use an idea. Manual verification is the most effective spam prevention tool, and it doesn't even require a published mod, as the form states.

A warning box on Heliosphere with the title "Hold up!" The content is:
Please fill out the form below to request a mod verification. You will receive an email with the results after your submission has been reviewed. You only need to do this once.
What is the name of one of the mods you have created? <text box>
The mod does not need to be published. If you haven't yet made any, you may use an idea.
Please describe that mod in a sentence or two. <text box>

this is all @seanseanson.bsky.social's fault for making that taito video. I'm addicted to the strongest drug there is: japanese train games

Screenshot of Densha de Go Professional Shiyou's game over screen that displays after finishing a route. The whole image has a scanline filter over it. It says "GAME OVER" in English, and above that is presumably the Japanese for "GAME OVER", but I can't read it, so I don't really know. There's a... train stewardess? in a blue hat and pinstripe suit+skirt with white gloves, a white collared shirt under the suit, a purple tie, and blue shoes. She's winking and doing some sort of salute.

I would like to submit this as an example of a perfect verification request.

Heliosphere verification request reviewed by Anna. It is accepted, the name of the mod is censored, and the description is "really cunty boots"

Dark Reader loves this page

A website open in Fennec on Android. Well, allegedly it's a website. The text is nearly black and the background is black, so that shit is impossible to read.

In case you haven't heard of it, check out Party Damage (repo: plugins.anna.lgbt)! It puts your parse in the party list, aiming to be the most vanilla-esque way to show DPS.

Screenshot of the FFXIV party list with names macro-pixellated. Underneath the mana bars are numbers like "17.1K" and "27.8K" that represent DPS. Each entry in the list has a blue bar in background showing damage relative to the top DPS.

To upload a new version of a mod, you click the button labelled "Upload". You can also find an upload button next to any mod in the creator area (accessed by clicking your username in the top right and clicking "Creator area"). Variant info: docs.heliosphere.app/creators/var...

Screenshot of Heliosphere showing the mod "A Zodiac Reborn" by "anna" with the creator tools bar visible. There are links in that bar that say "View", "Audit", "Stats", "Edit", and "Upload"

Heliosphere now supports the preferred items creators can set in Penumbra for its affects calculation. If you set preferred items in your PMP, Heliosphere will display only them unless a user clicks to show more. When showing all, preferred items are listed in bold.

Screenshot of the Heliosphere mod sidebar cropped to only show the affects section. Under the gear heading is "Cactuar Pajama Shirt", and below that is a link that says "Click to see all detected items."

Same as first image but now the link is gone and "Cactuar Pajama Shirt" is in bold. There are two items below "Cactuar Pajama Shirt": "Chocobo Pajama Shirt" and "Plain Pajama Shirt". The new items are not bolded.

yeah. this is pretty accurate. to be clear, only moderators see this; the authors and reporters don't see these reasons. authors don't see the reports at all.

there are all screenshots of reports on heliosphere. they all say "dismissed by anna" and list a dismissal reason. the rest of the pictures will just list the dismissal reason. for this one, it's "lol. lmao even"

idk why this reminds me of this ancient meme someone in an old raid group of mine made, but it does

One of the 3d pokemon games in a two-panel format. Our character is named Harold and is labelled "Raid Dad". Harold has a Rowlet out, and the Rowlet is looking back toward him. The Rowlet is labelled "me". The enemy trainer has a Groudon out, and it's labelled "Pile Pitch". The second panel is zoomed in on the Rowlet and says "Dafuq you want me to do"

in motion they appear... smoother? it's hard to describe. it takes a bit of getting used to. but I think they fit in way better with the smooth supersampled look

ffix screenshot of zidane, blank, cinna, and marcus standing in a circle at the beginning of the game. the models are all smooth and fit in with the prerendered backgrounds well.

the same screenshot but the models are more pixelated and aliased. they fit in with the backgrounds less well.

got a lightning effect on the arrow rn... idk what I'm doing, but taking tex away or making it a solid white/black causes the entire arrow to become white, so I'll keep fucking with that until it works

ffxiv screenshot showing a location being pinged. there's a white beam originating from the ping location going up toward an arrow that's pointing down

mgs1 using 16x supersampling and a crt shader looks gooooooooood the picture doesn't do it justice. in cutscenes with close-ups, the models look great. feels like an indie game you'd see today

screenshot of a widescreen mgs1. there's a crt scanline shader applied. it's inside an elevator looking out toward a tank and some crates. a man with a rifle is walking past the elevator in front of the tank. it looks crisp as fuck.

obviously I know what I'm doing

screenshot of some c# code that positions text in a radial slice. code is as follows:

var textSize = ImGui.CalcTextSize(kind.ToHumanName());
var longerDimension = MathF.Max(textSize.X, textSize.Y);
var textPos = new Vector2(
data.Centre.X + MathF.Cos((data.ItemAngleMin + data.ItemAngleMax) * 0.5f) * ((data.RadiusMin + data.RadiusMax) * 0.5f - longerDimension / 2),
data.Centre.Y + MathF.Sin((data.ItemAngleMin + data.ItemAngleMax) * 0.5f) * ((data.RadiusMin + data.RadiusMax) * 0.5f - longerDimension / 2)
);
data.DrawList.AddText(textPos - textSize / 2, ImGui.GetColorU32(ImGuiCol.Text), kind.ToHumanName());

it was higher ilvl than the savage weapons, too. some people farmed it to get bis weapons. it could also have more substat types than savage could.

yes, I have played overwatch. why do you ask?

screenshot of a plugin in ffxiv. it shows a radial menu with 8 options. from the top going clockwise, there's "I need help", "Caution", "Go here", "Avoid here", "Watch here", "Attack", "Don't attack", and "?". the radial wheel is big, translucent, pink, and each option has a representative icon.

what if there were pings tho... what if I have made this plugin just now

screenshot of ffxiv. there's a house roof in the distance and it has two arrows pointing to a spot on the roof. there's a line leading to a rounded text box that says "Location" in large text, and below it says "135 yalms" in smaller text

working on some stuff (yes this is technically a downgrade - it was the first breaking change I found)

afraid I may be stupid

screenshot of a code diff. the old code is querying the database for all paths and hashes from a table called s3_paths, and then the code is grouping them (rather expensively) into a hashmap of hash to list of paths. the new code is using the database to do the grouping... almost like it's designed to do such a thing

There's this and also bookmarks. The thing that comes with your browser. Some have a "read later" feature that could be used, too, I think.

always ready to be disappointed as a progressive

four panel comic. first panel has someone laying on a couch facing away from a tv and talking to the tv with a picture of zohran mamdani on it. the person says "Oh Zohran, I'm just feeling real low". the second panel is a close-up of the tv with a different picture of mamdani. mamdani says "I WON THE PRIMARY". third panel is a close-up of the person on the couch looking straight up in silence for a moment. fourth panel is the couch person sitting up on their elbows, turned back toward the tv, saying "Oh shit, for real?" with their mouth agape

In terms of dollars to quality of life, these LED dimming/blocking stickers (something I learned about from @techconnectify.bsky.social) are insane value. My room at night is so dark; it's bliss. First thing I do to every technology purchase.

I hope they get the help they need

Discord message from a Heliosphere bot. It's telling me about a new user report. I've redacted the mod name and author because they're not relevant. The report is anonymous, and it says

"Consider installing the Heliosphere plugin to make installs faster!"
