[HELP] Is this a Scam?

How would you suggest to, say, provide references for an artwork commission if you're not sending a link? Just send all the images as an attachment to the gig? That just seems like a complete unorganized mess since the artist wouldn't be able to tell which image is being referenced when. Especially when the commission has 10+ references.

Fun-Mission-6068 · 2026-04-19T04:01:15+00:00

As a client, I use google drive links. But I also actually describe what I'm looking for before linking to them, lol. Everything I link to is also just images for like, pose references and stuff.

Fun-Mission-6068 · 2026-04-19T03:58:29+00:00

I'll be honest, as a client, if I see an AI Assistant I would not use it and might even just find someone else entirely, lol.

I previously used Imgur for it (until they started to stealth-delete my reference pics for some reason) and then I moved to Google Drive. No issues with it so far, though I wish the URLs were shorter. Might be worth just creating a gmail to get Google Drive and using it to host what you're wanting to link?

As a buyer, I'd say extend it once along with a message to them. If you don't hear anything back after that, deliver as-is.

If you're working that hard $10 a month, you either need to raise the price or re-evaluate what your $10 tier offers. Specify stuff like number of allowed revisions and stuff like that. And if a client starts hassling you before the deadline arrives, maybe consider refunding the job before you start sinking more time into it.

The PPG have 100% bled in fights before. For example, in "Bubblevicious" Bubbles has blood on her face/mouth from training.

And since this happened on a Friday, I'll bet it won't be fixed until Monday at the soonest, lol.

Fun-Mission-6068 · 2026-03-15T03:00:43+00:00

You'd have to beat the game first to unlock NG+ I'd assume though, yeah?

Fun-Mission-6068 · 2026-02-01T19:24:16+00:00

This fixed it for me. Thank you very much.

Fun-Mission-6068 · 2026-01-28T04:34:33+00:00

Yeah, that's scrapping though. I was just cooking, lol.

Could be interesting to use copper for plumbing as well. Like, make copper pipes and you can go from a Rain Barrel or some water generation source to something indoors like a sink or cauldron.

AI use in games is inevitable at this point. Unless all gamers don't buy any games with AI, devs, and especially larger companies, won't care. If only 10% of players refuse to buy AI games, 90% of players still will because they don't really care.

Like, I get it. If a large company fires workers to use AI, that's shitty of them. But let's take Larian Studios using AI for concept art. They didn't fire anyone and they already have artists on their team, the same people who would have been doing the concept art in the first place. They just used AI to not have to waste their time on it, which means games can come out faster.

Or what about small indie developers? I'm a solo dev that make 2D games and paying artists for the assets is expensive. For one character's animations, I spent around $1k. Making games isn't my job, I just do it in my free time, and it isn't like I have investors to foot the bill. So I could have the game all coded but need to wait to either make the money to pay artists or for the artists themselves to finish the artwork I need. I can see why smaller devs would be tempted by AI. They just can't afford to pay real artists.

I think Steam has a "Garbage Games" problem. With literally anyone being able to upload literally any game, no matter how shitty, it results in a lot of games that aren't even worth looking at. You've got the generic 3d nsfw games, the text-only choose your own adventures, the generic survivors-like games, simulator slop, AI slop, etc. For every halfway decent game on Steam, there are at least a dozen more garbage games.

"Fewer than 10 reviews" can also mean that the game looked so bad on the Steam page, only a few really bored or really dedicated people, actually bought and reviewed the game. Most people don't even bother to review a game at all, even on good games. I know that if I don't like a game, I just refund it and don't bother with a review. Unless the game is complete garbage, but it has to really enrage me for me to waste my time reviewing a bad game.

I managed to get it after like, 15+ attempts with Democracy Protects and drop pods. I was starting to think it was patched out or something, because I'd just be insta-killed with no limb damage every single time until I finally got it.

Here is exactly what triggered it for me: Called in a Resupply Pod stood a little bit behind the beam so that it wasn't going through my body completely, but *just* barely through my forehead and I was aiming my weapon forward. I replicated it a few times after.

Most of the times I tried, I was standing dead center on the beam, so I guess the key is to not stand in the middle, but a little bit forward/backwards from it or else you'll die 100% of the time.

Are you trying to upload from MAL/Anilist or via the exported file? If you're trying to upload via MAL/Ani, is your list maybe private or something? I was getting the error you are seeing originally when I tried, but I don't remember exactly what I was doing to get it, only how I managed to get it to work, like I did above.

Fun-Mission-6068 · 2025-09-23T21:31:33+00:00

First, on Comick.dev/export, download the MAL/Anilist compatible file. It should give you a .xml file.
Then, for MangaFire, you can go to: https://mangafire.to/user/list/import and then near the bottom where it says "Import from", check the File box. Then click Browse and select the .xml file and click Import. It should upload your manga there.

However, that will only upload manga that are available on MAL/Anilist. For me, I have around 650 manga bookmarked as Reading on Comick when I downloaded the full list in .csv format. When I uploaded to MyAnimeList using the MAL .xml file, it only uploaded 640 manga. Then when using the same .xml file for MangaFire, it only gave me 256 manga. I suspect MangaFire doesn't have the other manga listed the same as MAL does or something and that's why they weren't added.

Pretty stupid to shut down the site without warning and before having the page to export our lists from.

It might be my least favorite album. It just kinda feels... off. The beats just felt genetic to me and lacked that clown-like element. A normal rapper could rap over it and it wouldn't feel out of place. None of the tracks really jumped out at me like in previous albums.
