If there were some big policy change than I would understand, but this is *already a thing on Vgen*. Below are some examples - it's not just nudity either. You just click 'show' and then it shows you the blurred listing.

This is my third "company tries to clarify what is considered nudity on-platform and people get mad". I'm tired.

This was my old Vtuber character. Still love parts of the design, but man, those shoulders... and it was too hard to get rid of them, because doing so messed with the shape language a lot. Very hard to design around.

Art of a new Vtuber persona. I'm sure you'll be seeing more of them one day! made by the talented @ripley9000.bsky.social. They did so good on this, be sure to show them some love!

McDonalds in china had a limited-time promotion where you could buy a chicken-nugget-shaped LCD Tetris game/toy. So this is at least 5% possible...,,,

*And* the 14 games they are re-releasing *won't even come out all at once* and will instead be drip-fed over time. I struggle to see how the peripherals were priced how they are, even accounting for tariffs. Would the $25 piece of stylized cardboard cost $20 instead?

If you want to play old games through official channels as opposed to emulators, this is what you're expected to pony up. All this for a system that is most notable for being a massive financial failure, with only 22 games arriving on the system *ever*.

Nintendo Switch (original): $339.99 Switch Online + Expansion Pack: $49.99/yr Virtual Boy cardboard shell: $24.99 The minimum cost to play Virtual Boy games is ~$415.00 USD. This is the *most generous* pricing, assuming you get everything at MSRP.

I never understood Fromsoft fans who obnoxiously tell others to "get good" whenever their games are criticized until I looked at Silksong's negative steam reviews

A steam review reading "Fix the blasted steps/Last Judge run-back. It's really awful, and you've conveniently placed it after I can't ask for a refund anymore."

A steam review reading "8 year wasted good luck to all of you out there, this game just too hard for dear old me. Could change this review if i was about to git gud but it seem impossible. It just change so much since the first time I play through hollow knight. It alway about how far you can go with little imformation you have, now it just full on dark soul and celeste combine. One I can handle but two feel just too much"

A negative steam review reading "no problems were fixed from hollow knight lol and they are even worse because everything does so much damage and the map is so huge"

Here's a WIP of a thing I forgot to post from last week. The idea is on-stream, people can click on the models and cause them to play a short animation with an accompanying sound effect. The video I posted yesterday shows this system running in Godot, but I'm still setting up all of them.

This reminds me of a recent Blender issue I had My colors were looking weird and washed out, turns out Blender defaults to using a 'filmic' color space that just looks a little shitty as a treat, and you have to go into a buried sub-menu to change it

To show just how above-and-beyond Katsu went, I included this reference of my mall model *purely* for context expecting a flat-color BG, and they took it upon themselves to make the BG based on the actual model.

Trying to meet new people in the Vtuber community is rough Tried joining an open VC of new people, within 15 minutes it turned into one person wanting to type the n-word in another participant's chat 'as a joke' to see if their bot would catch it. felt very "haha, just kidding... unless?"

Does anyone on here play Helldivers 2? Would be off-stream, want to try and run Helldive. Feel free to reach out, especially if we're mutuals! If we aren't and you still want to reach out that's OK too.
