Update about the English Moonlight Syndrome fan translation efforts🌕 The entire script has been translated! Now we’re in the middle of editing and reviewing the text in-game to be sure that every line and sub is perfect. We’re getting closer to our goal!

Oh lol, was searching for some stuff about email implementation, this came up in the search results, I clicked it, and it's perfect.
NYT article "Everyone wants your email address. Think twice before sharing it". 
Below it paywall "Create an account, or log in", and prompt to enter your email.

HFTGOOM/ He Fucked The Girl Out of Me has been deindexed by itch. I am worried it could be erased. Please considering downloading an offline copy to help preserve the game here: archive.org/details/HFTG... If you know any rom sharing sites please consider uploading a copy to help preserve it.

Watched the 1964 animated short "The Hangman." Highlighted in the most recent Animation Obsessive newsletter, this is a terrifying film about a man who comes to town and begins hanging people. Instead of helping their neighbors, the cowardly townspeople turn away. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xkbp...

This is TOTALLY me when I've just jumped out a window and am being chased by a bear dressed in finery From Goldilocks and the Three Bears (1928)

Looking for new contracts to give me pocket change, and maaan, it's just so much "AI" crap. They want you to train "AI," they want you to rewrite the crap writing "AI" made them. Something as already widely devalued as writing finally gets to be considered even more worthless

In other news, I'm actually a bit stunned at David Lynch's death. Not because it's shocking an elderly chainsmoker would pass, but because his work has been such a fixture in my small pool of references. We lost N. Scott Momaday about a year ago too, and now another inspiration goes...

Meta's great new idea, now that Facebook and Instagram are infected with AI slop, is to also let AI-generated characters made by users appear as actual accounts on the platforms. The last stage of "social" media is millions of bots giving each other thumbs-up reacts.
