I’m increasingly of the belief that we’ve never truly left the Great Financial Crisis. Everything we’re dealing with today started there, and every excess and problem stems from the US government’s failure to contain or eradicate its causes.

"My concern about the bans is that people will go underground. When they go underground online, bad things happen — really terrible things happen."

Tech is entering its prohibition era. We've been here before.

Governments are seeking to set restrictions on popular tech. Though well-intentioned, the bans are easier said than done.

#HELLBREAKERS (chapter 3) poor nixa is trying her fucking best to understand what the Fuck is going on with Winn + their friend + the child that hangs around them

A grayscale image of three people cleaning up a graveyard. The text labels them: FORMER LOVER THEIR EX-NAVY SAILOR FRIEND (?) (THEIR?) 12 YEAR OLD CHILD

A woman stands looking at this. The text box notes she’s trying to figure out the situation. She asks, “so… are you guys… partners?”

They all stars at her blankly. The sailor says, “Partners…?” The former lover says, “huh? No…?” The child just looks.

A closeup of the woman’s face. She says, oh.” While WHAT IS HAPPENING? floats over her face.

#HELLBREAKERS (chapter 3) u know it's bad for you when the urchin you're trying to take care of is asking people to take care of YOU

A grayscale drawing. A child seriously puts their hand on a halfling man’s shoulder. They say, “Polliver?” He answers, “yes?” They continue, “can you look out for winn? While you’re out of town?” With a very weary expression: “they need all the help they can get.”

#HELLBREAKERS (chapter 3) Valerra's Very Accurate Review of Winn's Friends

VALERRA'S REVIEW OF WINN'S FRIENDS

Polliver: Very reliable, very scammable
Serado: Unscammable, the only person less reliable than Winn
Hilde: Clearly reliable, unscammable

Valerra: ... and then there's this guy.

WINN: unreliable, too easy to scam

Valerra: It's not even fun, they just... give me stuff. Clearly they need someone to look out for them, or who knows what they'd give away!

#HELLBREAKERS still trying to figure out ethran, drew one of those charming moments where winn expects nothing and is shocked when they receive kindness they don't need to beg for

A grayscale drawing; one person scratches the back of their neck. They say, "So, I'm sorry for getting your breakfast just to ask a favor, but... would you mind sparring with Valerra every few days while I'm away? I just--"

The person next to them, eating a doughnut, says, "Sure. What are you drilling her on?"

Winn shocked face. "oh. really? uh, thank you."

#HELLBREAKERS (chapter 3) thinking about winn and valera's festival day nonstop. her worrying about whether they can afford the things they're giving her... ;_;

A child poses dramatically while a person with piecemeal armor observes. They say, “I like the, uh, ears. Is it supposed to be a wolf? Cute.”

The child responds, “NO, it’s FIERCE. It’s a goblin bat!”

A child in a floppy hood eats a pretzel and says with her mouth full, “… so, yeah, Xerra gave me the coat. I’ve been getting them to gimme free breads and stuff, too!”

Winn, nodding which a narrator box points to them and says, “asked xerra to feed her while they were gone.”

A child in a cape with big floppy ears thinks, “can they REALLY afford this? Their armor’s crap and they quit their dock job…” while beside her a person in not very good armor thinks, “what do kids like…? What did I like? What do I like…”

The kid turns, saying, “I’m good, actually.”

The person in armor looks dubious but says, “okay.”

4716 - isger (provincial militia)
A grayscale picture of a woman in armor standing under armches and watching a training bout. A close up of her, and she thinks, "... this is it."

The woman thinks, a similar face hovering behind hers.
"I might be wearing my mother's armor— —- but I'm here on my own merits not as Fatima's daughter. I'll be judged by my own accomplishments...... assuming | have any."

The person before her stands, confident. Text labels them: posture, confidence, expensive kit. Conclusoon: professional mercenary. They ask, "Well? You up for it?"
She thinks, nervously, Fuck. My mother's armor. They think I'm a fellow professional, not a new recruit. But if I decline, I'l look like a coward! She says, "ah... well.."

“Everything is 40% more expensive because of AI” is a great line for an opposition party trying to unseat the AI-supported incumbents, if any Democratic consultants wanted to take a short break from dehumanizing trans kids to actually try winning a contested election.

What you need to understand is nothing we built was “off the shelf.” Store-bought environmental assets for stop-motion features do not exist. We were given concept art and told “make it look like this.” Everything you see here, down to the dirt and moss, was meticulously designed and crafted.

#HELLBREAKERS (chapter 3) in which serado observes a conversation & hears an interesting word (1/3)

A crowded tavern. A tiefling man faces away from the viewer. he thinks, “who is that woman? Why do I know her face? Where did I meet here…?”

The man remembers. “Ah, that’s right.” He thinks of a ballroom he can see only from behind the archway. He was not invited. The woman is Helia Belunne, matriarch of house Belunne. He finishes his drink, thinking. “What’s the matriarch of a chelaxian noble house doing in a tavern in the middle of Isger? S’pose it’s up to ol’ serado to figure it out.”

The man walks outside. He goes behind the tavern. He takes off his belt scarf, and tucks it around his neck, as it shimmers with magic and transforms his appearance to an ordinary human man. A descriptive box notes, “masquerade scarf - allows the wearer to assume an illusory disguise for an hour once per day.” He thinks, “damn useful, this thing is.”

Back in the tavern which is noisy and crowded. The two women are still talking. The man leans against a pillar. He thinks, Damn, can’t hear a thing over this racket.

One woman stands, and puts something on the table.

A close view of her hand obscuring it. He thinks, what the hells is that?!

Here I unfucked the dwaven handgun. #weapon #art

A fantasy handgonne, with a stout carbine stock and a thick steel barrel ending with a recoil hook, with a sight rib running the top length of it. It is a break action firearm, with the barrel tilting forward for reloading after flipping a lever to the side underneath it. In the tradition of fake fantasy firearm it has no clear method of ignition aside from a hammer slamming into something random, in this case the hammer is situated right in front of the trigger and is held back by it, with a large ignition channel running through the stock forward of that hammer/trigger assembly and towards the back of the barrel. The stock has a large brass patchbox cover spelling runes in openwork. The stock is reinforced by a large lockplate.
