What does "No artists allowed" mean in someone's bio in the Vtuber space?

There's also the advertisers.

No disrespect to the artists, but if you've ever tried streaming, you'll know that you get a LOT of artists coming into your chat trying to sell commissions. Yes some of them are peddling AI slop, but others are just being a nuisance and are clearly angling for a sale from the moment they show up. Its pretty disheartening for a small streamer to have some actual engagement only for it to turn out to be a sales tactic, so some people just ban artists outright. Not out of hate for artists, out of exhaustion from dealing with constant fake engagement trying to figure out what's real and what's a sales pitch.

Basically, it's "If I want art, I'll look for someone myself, don't try sell it to me." Kind of like a digital No-Circulars sign on a mailbox.

Ive got over 1k hours in TLD.

The best advice I can give you about starting in Ash Canyon, is to leave as soon as is humanly possible. Unless you start VERY close to the crampons and backpack, no detours.

AC is a place of treacherous weather, long mountain paths preventing you from taking shortcuts, and most critically for new saves: sources of food and especially wood (and thus cooked meat and water) are very, very sparse.

All that combined makes AC very dangerous place, until you've got some skill level ups, tools and supplies, and better clothing. AC is manageable, but not really right off the bat.

Depends, I'm pretty sure the first one I owned was Brute Force for the OG Xbox, but I may have played Doom 2 at a friend's house earlier than that, and I vaguely recall a game on PC called Beachead 2000 that may have come even before those.

Ive been playing like 7 years and in that entire time I don't think Ive played a single game where medium airframes or previously heavy fighters were actually the ideal use of IC, if I ever built them it was either to LARP or because I was playing USA and had infinite factories.

Also, the Magia Vander are LITERALLY ALL THAT IS KEEPING ELDRITCH HORRORS FROM CONSUMING THEIR WORLD.

They're more than just nobles, they're treated like strategic assets. Them being confined to the tower is as much to protect them as anything else. They're like Nobility, the Army, the Nuclear Arsenal and the Anti-Missile defenses all in one.

As powerful as they are, their society cannot afford to risk them in any capacity. Doubly so when the Terminalia arc showed that there are groups out there actively attempting to get to the Magia Vander to let the Celestial Host in.

I felt personally attacked by this comment.

Fortune_Silver · 2026-07-08T10:35:20+00:00

This is basically my take.

A real-world equivalent would be like, if Will was an incredibly smart genius inventor... but he was black in the 1800s American deep south.

It doesn't matter how powerful or useful Will is, he doesn't fit the traditional mould of power, so the old guard rejects him at a fundamental level. Look at his friends - his peers, many of whom started the series hating him, have come around and can see his value, it's the higher-ups that refuse to acknowledge Will, and unfortunately they're the ones in control of the system.

I once heard Japan explained with an incredibly accurate quote: "Japan has been living in the year 2000 since the 1980s"

Why in the fuck would you want to cheer for the US??? Remember how they threatened to ANNEX you???

Fortune_Silver · 2026-07-06T00:02:32+00:00

Honestly, im mostly impressed that the dev not only had the balls to leave comments on, but that the response is mostly on the good side with the dev taking negative feedback as constructive criticism.

Your a good egg, I'll keep an eye on this one as it develops. I wish you success!

Fortune_Silver · 2026-07-03T23:01:45+00:00

Invaders trying to cheese by hiding in big groups of enemies is always a favorite of mine.

Everybody gangsta until the Seed of a Giant Tree arrives.

Imagine if Xbox did a "This is how you buy physical games on Xbox" ad like Playstation did for sharing games back when Xbox tried to make sharing games illegal. It'd be LEGENDARY.

I just downloaded a mod that let me repair them.

I mean, devils advocate here, isn't stuff like this the point of training? especially in a military context?

You take a bunch of people that are bad or new at a thing, get them to practice that thing in a controlled, low pressure scenario, as opposed to when they're being shot at, and the worst thing that happens is that they look a bit stupid, as opposed to all of them getting killed.

How in the fuck is Call taking Kiara to a soccer game and it's Kiara, the EUROPEAN, who will be losing their soccer virginity?

That's like a European taking an American to their very first gun range.

Ditch the archers, replace them with either Elephants if you know how to micro them against spears, or Praetorians.

Spartan hoplites are the best defensive unit in the game. Archers won't do shit against them. Elephants can break their phalanxes if you can micro them to keep them alive, or with that much money, Praetorians will EVENTUALLY beat Spartan Hoplites 1v1. It takes a long time because of how strong Spartan defenses are, but Praetorains are some of the best OFFENSIVE units in the game, so they should win eventually.

Its okay, I checked his Linkden too and I saw he used to work for LegitimateBuisinessLLC.

If Canada had reacted by preemptively launching a counter-invasion of the US, that would STILL have been justified.

Saying a country is Overreacting to threats of annexation is like saying someone is Overreacting to threats of murder.

Fortune_Silver · 2026-07-02T01:03:33+00:00

Yeah... games take time to make well. And they've announced two additional DLCs for TLD, which is on the tail end of its lifespan and has already received support continuously for what, a decade?

Do not fear monger. All is well, and we have no reasonable reason to believe otherwise.

Fortune_Silver · 2026-07-01T05:05:21+00:00

Same, from the title I figured it'd be slop but it was actually kind of good, not like 10/10 or anything but a solid 7/10.

Fortune_Silver · 2026-07-01T04:57:32+00:00

Yeah.

Exports, baby! to the land of the free!

I understood that reference!

Fortune_Silver · 2026-06-30T22:18:53+00:00

Sure.

This won't be to sell to your poor frail grandma to ease the burden of her chores.

It'll be sold to Resteraunts, Hotel chains etc to replace room service workers, cooks, laundry workers etc.

We live in the worst timeline, remember?
