In case your organization has no soul and hates everything about the word "whimsy": botstopper.net?soulless-cor... I'll probably put the credit card form there in the long run.

Did these guys consider that Furries don't go to cons to do industry networking? No, because that's all they think about. We go to cons to be cute and silly and gay

This has the same energy as straight guys going to gay bars to pick up women.

Some people really want to use others to get ahead in life. Others need to be used to get off. Matchmaking the two is NP-hard.

I wrote loosely about this here soatok.blog/2026/09/08/m... You're probably going to have a hard time finding "0% AI" jobs right now. It's subsumed the MBA crowd entirely. It's annoying. Do what you need to in order to survive.

Whether we want to admit it or not, a lot of furs use other people for their advantage, whether its for jobs, sex, etc. i’ve been in that position many times now and it sucks! The last thing i want are people who truly give ZERO fucks about what it means to be a furry trying to use us for gain

What's funny is, I have brainstormed in the past (pre-COVID, tbh) about ways we could help each other survive our economic system and "a mini career fair" at a con was one of the ideas I rejected *because* of shit like this.

Oh, that already happens sometimes. The STEM Furs meetups occasionally have folks who are like, "Hey, I'm a hiring manager for [industry]. If you're looking for a job, come talk to me!"

Publishing “Cryptographic Right Answers” for developers is a tradition by now. Colin Percival started in 2009, Thomas Ptacek followed up in 2015, and then Latacora carried on in 2018 and 2024. I put together a list updated for the renewed urgency of migrating to post-quantum algorithms.

If GenAI hasn't come for your job in October 2026, in the abstract sense, then your job is probably Trust Fund Nepo Baby With Multiple Silver Spoons once you look under the hood lol

TBH if you champion the future with GenAI as a creative utopia where everyone can pursue their passions and work is automated away from us, but you don't advocate for a society that creates that for everyone, you're just a fascist hiding an "I've got mine, so fuck you" argument in fancy language.

Keep in mind, also: This is early dev footage. I will *eventually* make better battle backgrounds for each zone. The default is to use a screenshot of the room you were just in, which... doesn't work well.

Here's an example: You can unpause the meter to ensure two of your party members are ready. Micah and Nick can both perform a multi-hitting strike called Spiral, but it's single-target only. But their Dual Tech, Double Helix, hits the entire enemy party. (Both must be ready and have 20 TP.)

Soatok, the Furbidden One @soatok.bsky.social · 13/10/2026
Early feedback on #CopperAndEmber indicated that ATB battle systems can be stressful, so I added a Pause mechanic so you can take your time figuring out each character's move.

How does a professional photographer who charges so much money not use the person's tags in furtrack when uploading to the site? I get not labeling passerbys but if someone paid you then you probably know their user/suit name
