Drug Dealing Mod Report(Crafting Drugs, Rehab, and Laundering Dirty Money) Part 2
Rehab
Rehab is another feature I worked on during this month.
When your sim gets addicted to a substance, they have the option to attend Rehab sessions to assist them in kicking their addiction. Each Rehab Session will cost the sim 1000 Simoleans by default. This value is tunable.
Tumblr media
Upon Finishing their first Rehab session, the sim will obtain a moodlet describing that their sim is doing well in progressing to kicking their addiction.
Tumblr media
Once that initial moodlet expires, the sim will obtain a new moodlet urging them to attend their next Rehab Session. If they do not attend their next rehab session by the time the moodlet expires, they will lose all progress. If they do attend their next rehab session in time, they will progress in kicking their addiction.
Tumblr media
If the sim were to gain a new addiction or consume more of the drug that they are already addicted to, then the sim will lose all their progress and need to restart their rehab from the beginning.
Tumblr media
The sim will need to attend a total of 4 rehab sessions in order to lose their addiction moodlet. Upon completing their rehab the sim will no longer have occasional withdrawals and the sim will gain quit moodlet for whatever substance they were addicted to.
Dirty Money/Laundering
Another feature I decided to work on and implement this month was to introduce Dirty Money and a Laundering Feature. Now anytime you gain money through an Illegal activity such as Drug Dealing, instead of getting simoleans directly. You will instead gain a Money Strap Object if you don't already have one.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Once you get this stack any time you sell drugs, the amount paid for the drugs will be saved in this stack. More money can be added to the stack. A stack can hold up to 10,000 Simoleans. If a stack is full and you are selling more drugs, you will simply gain an additional stack.
Additionally, you may also check how much that stack has in simoleans
Tumblr media
[Turning the Dirty Money into usable Simoleans]
As of this moment you have three options to turn Dirty Money into usable Simoleans.
First, you can simply select the Dirty Money Stack and click the interaction called Use Dirty Simoleans. 100% of the dirty money will be turned into Simoleans. However, your Heat level will increase. The amount of heat increasing depending on how much you are directly using.
Less then $3500 will be a minor Heat Gain (Default: 1)
Less than $7000 will be a Average Heat Gain (Default: 3)
More than $7000 will be a Major Heat Gain (Default: 5)
Heat will simply increase your chances of your residence being searched, raided, etc. (High Heat Consequences are still being implemented)
Tumblr media
Secondly, you can sell your dirty money to any NPC Drug Dealer. No Heat will be gained. However, they will only pay you 80% of whatever Dirty Money you have on you. And the remaining 20% they will keep.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And Lastly, if you happen to own a Property/Business. Whether it be a Rabbithole or Lot. You can establish a Money Laundering Racket in your property.
Tumblr media
If you have a Money Laundering Racket on a Lot Property, you can simply use a Computer on that property to Launder your dirty Simoleans. If it is a Rabbithole Business, then you simply will click on the Rabbithole to Launder money.
Tumblr media
After Choosing to Launder your money, the Dirty Money in your sims inventory will be removed. They will receive a 12 hour moodlet explaining that their money is being laundered and will soon be available to them.
Tumblr media
After the moodlet is removed, the sim will receive a notification that their funds have been added to their account. And because their Dirty Money appears legitimate, their Heat Level will decrease.
Tumblr media
And that is all I have to report on for this month. We went over how Crafting Drugs will work with Ingredients, Rehab, Dirty Money, and a Laundering System/Racket.
I really started to enjoy doing these reports. As towards the end of the month I always think I haven't done much progress. Until, I actually start going over what I worked on for the month. For next month, I will most likely work on adding the three other Rackets that I didn't get to fully implement this month. The rest will only be Rabbithole Rackets though. Those will be the Smuggling Racket, Cocaine Production Racket, and Meth Production Racket.
Now I'm going to go back to being a ghost. However, I want to thank everyone who has been patient. I'm slowly finsihing up all the features I want to implement before the first release of the mod. I still currently have the three rackets to work on, Police Raids, House Arrest ,Weed Edibles, and the custom animations.

While I don't usually indulge in fan theories, I recently stumbled upon an intriguing hypothesis that compelled me to write about it. It's possible this has already been addressed, but my searches yielded no results. If it has, I'll gladly retract my thoughts or delete this. Aaand this was translated using ChatGPT, so there may be mistakes.
In the game, Rouxls's presentation often incorporates elements of light. For instance, there's the teleportation effect with light. Rouxls emits light upon his entrance, and when other objects (like puzzles) appear, the screen is filled with light before they vanish. However, this is limited to entrances. When exiting, he either flies off-screen or petrifies.
Next, in Rouxls's initial room, there's a small light. This is first seen in the Scarlet Forest. The file name might be 'lightfairy' but I'm not entirely sure. Players might mistake this for an important item or save point. However, this light isn't contextually linked to the Scarlet Forest. While the object's sprite is same, it's more static.
If we assume that it's a creature like a firefly, it doesn't really make sense for Rouxls to bother catching a small bug, even though he has the ability to capture any moving object. It doesn't add up, whether from an external or internal perspective of the game. In that case, he might as well have just thrown a common worm.
Saying that Toby Fox included it to pique the player's interest doesn't make much sense either. He could have simply made the player automatically move forward upon checking the room. If that was bothersome, he could have just placed a dot on the wall (since the door to the next map was locked, the player had to enter whether they liked it or not).
In conclusion, implementing an inefficient mechanism outside the game implies that there is a certain narrative or setting within the game. Given that the trap activates as soon as you enter the room and Rouxls appears, it suggests that Rouxls intentionally lured the light.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Additionally, there's the visual effect when Rouxls powers up. His body glows, and light converges towards him, akin to Berdly's attempt to open the fountain. While this could be a mere coincidence, it's too significant to dismiss. There was no need to depict the mini-boss's power-up scene similarly to a pivotal moment like opening the fountain. Plus, his power-up sound resembles the sound of opening a fountain.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lastly, in chapters 3, 4, and 5, Rouxls disguises himself as a lamp. It looks unimportant, but this holds significance as a 'lamp' is an object that emits light. This is quite peculiar for a Darkner. What's more, it's not entirely out of place. Rouxls demonstrates a similar effect throughout.
Rouxls appears 'emitting light' upon his entrance, and he lures Kris and team by 'creating light'. Even when showcasing his true power, it unfolds with 'creating light'. This visual feels oddly familiar. But why? Because the fountain, similarly, exhibits this effect. When Kris thrusts the knife into the ground, 'light bursts forth'. So, when Queen describes the fountain, she employs a visual of light emanating.
Rouxls subtly implies the act of 'light creation' every time the fountain is opened. Given his lamp disguise, one could argue he's aware of this. So, is Rouxls a Knight? Let's explore two possibilities. Starting with the premise that he is not a knight, why might Rouxls not be one? According to the Queen, only Lightners with the power of will and determination can open the fountain. Frankly, there are various variables to consider, but we'll think about those later.
So, who could the knight be? I'll assume it's Gaster. The evidence for this is that the egg handed over behind the tree actually implies a knight, and references like 'him' in the OST or file names suggest Gaster... etc. But let's pass on this for now. (If I elaborate on this, it seems I should submit it to SCI, not Tumblr lol)
If the knight is indeed Gaster, then he performed the act of 'opening the fountain'. This act involves 'creating light' after the fountain is opened. The character symbolizing the sight of light being created after the fountain is opened would be Rouxls. Therefore, it can be seen that Rouxls was created by Gaster's intention. This would also explain why the two look similar. Furthermore, Mr. Society from Great Board bears a resemblance to Gaster's followers, and there are monsters in the Light World similar to Darkners. This could potentially spark a myriad of hypotheses, but I'll refrain from delving into it due to time constraints.
If Rouxls is the Knight, numerous variables must be considered. Firstly, Darkners become objects in the Light World. There's only one exception to this: Ralsei's movement. Ralsei arrives in the cyber world, despite not joining in Chapter 2. This implies a purposeful movement, potentially indicating that Darkners can move freely between Light and Dark Worlds.
Next, Darkners lack power. Unlike Lightners with determination, Darkners aren't explicitly stated to possess such power. Frankly, if they did, Queen or King could have opened it themselves. So, let's assume Queen or King were unaware or lacked the power.
If Rouxls were a knight, meeting all these conditions, it would present quite an eerie picture. As one might witness during the first encounter or at the acid lake, Rouxls would have the ability to know where Kris is and appear anywhere, even when he himself isn't present. Regardless of his intent, Rouxls would conspicuously use the initials "R.K.", adopt a unique tone, and watch over Kris and the team from behind a tree with an egg in hand.
My primary concern is that Chapter 3 might just have Rouxls speaking a few lines as a lamp, which is somewhat underwhelming. More concerning, though, is not knowing when Chapter 345 will be released.
Anyway, whether Rouxls is the Knight or not, the character itself is incredibly intriguing.

I'm in a position where I can't really get any sex toys, specifically for insertion and that's like 90% of what I need and I need something and idk what to do I'm going insane. Do you know anyone who makes like, under cover toys or know of any at least temporary solution Oh Bug with your infinite horny knowledge I pray thee, I need to be full and there's nothing to be full of
ahahaha this made me giggle! i can't promise to have infinite horny knowledge, but i will try my best to help. it's a travesty whenever a sweetheart out there in the world has to be empty <3
note: i'm working off the assumption you're talking about a vagina; if not, i apologize, but i don't think i'd feel comfortable recommending anal toy substitutes anyway due to the higher safety risk!
first, let's talk about materials if your best bet is household items:
top of the list in terms of safety is glass. i'd also say steel, but household objects made of steel aren't necessarily made of body-safe steel/surgical steel, so glass is really my top pick. it's non-porous, can be infinitely sanitized and re-used, and has some fun things you can do with temperature play too ;)
second favorite is gonna be plastic. it (and any other material) is 100% safe for insertion WITH a barrier like a condom, but if you can't get those for similar reasons you can't get a sex toy, use plastic sparingly; it is porous, so it can trap bacteria, which...i'll be honest here. i've never heard of this happening to people, even when they use the same hard plastic toy over and over, if they wash it a lot in between. thousands of people across the world have used a hairbrush handle, one of those 10-color pens (lol ask me how i know), and other items available to a kid in their teenage years. often repeatedly. my theory: yes, plastic can trap bacteria...but it's mostly gonna be bacteria from your body, and unless you're switching holes, i think the risk of that bacteria being non-benign is low; additionally, if you're washing it immediately afterwards and storing it in a safe place, the risk of it coming into contact with external bacteria is also low. regardless, it's safest to think of plastic as a temporary solution, and to replace it fairly often. good news is it tends to be cheap!
third best bet: a vegetable in a condom. could never do this bc i hate wasting food. could also never do this bc i was in a similar situation to you at the time, and in my case i couldn't get condoms, and no way was i putting pesticides up my vag!
i know it may seem weird that i'm putting silicone last. it should be first. food-grade silicone is probably insertion-safe, but the reason it's last on the list is that it's hard to find food-grade silicone items in the right shape lol.
now for some ideas of common items that might work/be easily concealable or explainable:
those big bubble wands (plastic). empty them out first lmao. make sure the bottom of the tube, where it was likely cut from the assembly line, doesn't have any weird rough edges. bonus points that you can put a bullet vibe in it if you have one, and if it's too light to fuck satisfyingly, try putting something heavier inside :)
the world of guasha and acupressure massage implements is wide and varied lol. from amazon, here is a steel one that's plain and simple. if you like odd shapes, here's whatever this is.
one of the pitfalls of household insertables is the shape; they're often ramrod-straight, which a vagina isn't, and rigid, so they don't bend to you. if you're confident in your pelvic floor strength, i recommend these guys! you may not exactly be able to fuck yourself with them, but they're an excellent way to feel full :)
check out the handle on this dude. is this anything? hell if i know lmao.
i've found pervertables on amazon before by just searching "[material] tools" or "[material] [shape]" or just in general typing in the material, then clicking around in random sections of Amazon and seeing what pops up! i've also found them by just wandering around stores and looking at objects in the context of what they'd feel like inside me, or being used to hit me, etc.
now for some actual, purpose-made toys that are discreet from Etsy:
carrot lmao. it's expensive, and i think primarily meant for anal insertion, but there you have it.
here's a simple but effective idea. why sacrifice good, plain function when you could just hide it well instead?
toy disguised as a paperweight with a DP option :)
i guess you could reasonably claim that this one was a gag gift or something. maybe get one of those little silicone hand puppets shaped like a real dino head and put it on there when you're not using it.
tis the fucking season!
dear lord. this is how i used to hide my weed lol. listen, i'm begging you, at least once it would be so funny to pretend this dog is a representation of me and i'm holding ur dick for you and looking at u with them sad puppy eyes okay?
hear me out, stay in this space with me; consider just hiding your dildo really effectively. here / are / some / really neat stash boxes i found on etsy. afaik the teddy ones are easy to diy; i made mine by cutting a hole in the bum of a big old stuffed pig i had and packing in my entire weed jar and then refilling it lol.
i hope this helped, or at least gave you some ideas! thank you for asking! <33

Website Uptime Monitoring and Management
In today’s digital age, having a website that is always available and accessible is crucial for businesses and organizations. A website downtime can lead to missed opportunities, loss of revenue, and damage to a company’s reputation. This is where website uptime monitoring and management come into play.
Tumblr media
What is Website Uptime Monitoring?
Website uptime monitoring refers to the process of regularly checking the availability and performance of a website. It involves using specialized tools and services to monitor the website’s uptime and promptly alert the website owner or administrator if any downtime or performance issues are detected.
Website uptime monitoring services typically work by periodically sending requests to the website from multiple locations around the world. These requests simulate real user visits and check if the website responds correctly. If a problem is detected, such as the website being down or loading slowly, the monitoring service sends an alert through various communication channels like email, SMS, or push notifications.
Benefits of Website Uptime Monitoring
Implementing a robust website uptime monitoring system offers several benefits:
1. Minimizing Downtime:
Website downtime can occur due to various reasons, such as server issues, network problems, or software glitches. With uptime monitoring, you can quickly identify and address these issues before they escalate, minimizing the impact of downtime on your business.
2. Protecting Revenue and Reputation:
A website that is frequently down or slow to load can lead to frustrated visitors and potential customers abandoning your site. This directly affects your revenue and can harm your reputation. By proactively monitoring your website’s uptime, you can ensure a seamless user experience and maintain a positive brand image.
3. Tracking Performance Metrics:
Uptime monitoring services provide valuable insights into your website’s performance metrics. You can track metrics such as response time, average uptime, and downtime duration. These metrics help you identify trends, set benchmarks, and make data-driven decisions to improve your website’s performance.
4. SEO and Search Rankings:
Website downtime can negatively impact your search engine rankings. Search engines like Google prioritize websites that provide a reliable and uninterrupted user experience. Consistent uptime ensures that search engine crawlers can access and index your site properly, positively impacting your SEO efforts.
Website Uptime Management
Website uptime management goes beyond just monitoring and involves proactive steps to optimize and maintain your website’s availability. Here are some essential aspects of website uptime management:
1. Reliable Web Hosting:
Choosing a reliable web hosting provider is crucial for ensuring maximum uptime. Look for hosting providers that offer high availability, redundant infrastructure, and strong security measures. Additionally, consider the scalability of the hosting solution to accommodate your website’s growth.
2. Regular Maintenance and Updates:
Performing regular maintenance tasks, such as updating software, plugins, and security patches, is essential for keeping your website secure and stable. Outdated software can introduce vulnerabilities that could lead to downtime or compromise the integrity of your website.
3. Load Testing and Performance Optimization:
Conduct regular load testing to ensure your website can handle increased traffic without slowing down or crashing. Performance optimization techniques, such as caching, content delivery networks (CDNs), and code optimizations, can significantly improve your website’s speed and reliability.
4. Disaster Recovery and Backup Plans:
Prepare for the worst-case scenarios
by implementing robust disaster recovery and backup plans. Regularly back up your website’s data, databases, and configurations, and store them in secure off-site locations. This ensures that you can quickly restore your website in case of any unforeseen incidents.
Conclusion
Website uptime monitoring and management are vital for ensuring a reliable and high-performing online presence. By proactively monitoring your website’s uptime, you can address issues promptly, protect your revenue and reputation, and improve your overall user experience. Combine this with effective website uptime management practices to maximize the availability and stability of your website. Remember, a website that is always up and running is a key ingredient for success in today’s digital landscape.

New Post has been published on https://www.packernet.com/blog/2024/02/07/twists-and-turns-the-packers-defensive-coordinator-search/
Twists and Turns: The Packers' Defensive Coordinator Search
When the Green Bay Packers began their search for a new defensive coordinator, they quickly identified Ejiro Evero from the Carolina Panthers as a top candidate. Evero had previously worked with the Packers in 2016 and had even interviewed for the same position in 2021, showing mutual interest. It seemed likely that he would be chosen to replace the departed Joe Barry. However, due to his existing contract, the Panthers prevented the Packers from interviewing Evero. With this key option off the table, Green Bay had to explore other possibilities.
In North Carolina, sports betting on the Panthers has gained popularity since North Carolina sports betting apps were introduced. Now fans can easily place bets on Panthers games and player performances using their phones. This increased engagement has made watching Panthers games even more thrilling for local fans. Additionally, it offers more opportunities for analysis and discussions about how well the Panthers defense performs each week.
No stone unturned
According to a report, initially, the team offered Baltimore Ravens linebackers coach Zach Orr an opportunity with Green Bay. Despite being regarded as a rising defensive talent in the league, Orr declined this offer. This was an early setback for the Packers as they highly valued Orr’s experience both as a player and coach of linebackers. His decision to stay with Baltimore forced Green Bay to reevaluate their options.
After ruling out Evero and facing Orr’s lack of interest, the Packers shifted their focus to the college ranks and conducted interviews with several talented defensive minds. Eventually, they settled on Jeff Hafley, former head coach of Boston College. Hafley brings with him a solid defensive background from both the collegiate and NFL levels. He has previously excelled in coordinating defenses at Ohio State and with the San Francisco 49ers. His proven ability to elevate defense played a significant role in his selection for the job.
Defense must improve
Hafley faces pressure to quickly revamp the Packers defense, which ranked 27th in yards allowed last season. The team struggled notably against the run and was unable to generate enough turnovers. However, Hafley’s versatile scheme provides flexibility in countering opposing offenses while making use of dynamic pass rushers like Rashan Gary. Additionally, with Jaire Alexander, an elite cornerback returning from injury, Hafley inherits valuable pieces that can contribute to significant improvement.
The search for a defensive coordinator by the Packers revealed the intricate dynamics involved in hiring coaches within the NFL. Contractual limitations prevented them from securing their top choice in Evero, who likely would have accepted had it not been for Carolina’s interference. An initial offer made to Orr also fell through before identifying Hafley as another promising option worth considering. Although he wasn’t initially their first choice, Hafley now has an opportunity to reshape the Packers defense into an exceptional unit.
The involvement of head coach Matt LaFleur in the hiring process, rather than GM Brian Gutekunst, shows a strong collaboration within the Packers leadership to find the right fit for an important position. This indicates that the organization is dedicated to aligning its vision.
4-3 defense coming to Green Bay
Hafley’s success depends on his ability to swiftly implement his strategies and make the most of the talented players already in Green Bay. He may choose to retain certain assistants, like experienced defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery, to facilitate a smooth transition. Additionally, Hafley needs to establish a connection with his star players in order to gain their support. Their skills as playmakers are crucial for executing his game plans.
In general, Green Bay faced obstacles along the way when appointing their new defensive leader. If Hafley can fulfill his considerable potential, despite these challenges, it will be considered a successful search. One that helped elevate the Packers defense back to championship caliber. With Aaron Rodgers still performing at his best, there is a sense of urgency for Hafley’s strategies and play-calling to yield fast results. Only time will reveal if this promising coordinator can deliver on that promise in his first NFL role leading a defense.
There is significant pressure on Hafley and the defensive unit to make rapid progress this season.
Packers supporters are well aware that even slight enhancements to their defense could propel Green Bay into the ranks of legitimate Super Bowl contenders once more. With a history of stumbling in championship games, a capable defense might finally be the key that propels this talented roster towards securing another Lombardi Trophy.

I guess I'm doing another review-type post? So, I recently finished a neat little 2D platformer named Shu, and whilst a bunch of my friends have it and have played it/are playing it, I think we might actually make up like 50% of the Shu playerbase at this point.
So... Shu! It's about this lil' owl(?) guy called Shu, who is trying to outrun the end of the world, or, in this case, this... creature, heralding the end of the world.
Tumblr media
Shu is trying to save all the villagers in their village from this monster, which I believe is known as the storm. (Side note, me and the gang have been calling it 'Chris' for... You know, I'm not even sure why, but if say 'Chris', I mean this guy.)
It's a platformer, where your main two moves are jump, and glide. Sounds simple enough, and it is, but this gets expanded by the main gimick of each set of levels: the villagers.
Each area (usually three levels per area, with the exception of the final area, and the post-game area) will get you two villagers by the end of it, each giving a unique extra ability. For example, in the first area, you're aided by a villager that gives you a ground-pound (Sending you to the ground quicker and allowing you to destroy certain obstacles), and another that controls the growth of certain flower obstacles to either build a path or removes walls.
It's a game with a simple premise, but fun execution! The game is good at coming up with unique ways to implement its mechanics, such as changing water level puzzles for a villager who lets you skate on water for a limited time. It's simple, but effective!
Additionally, everyone's favourite nightmare-inducer Chris (the storm) will chase you at certain points, giving you timed escapes à la Ori and the Blind Forest/ Will of the Wisps with some often pretty cool set pieces! The "Run" that pops up whenever Chris my beloathed shows up never fails to make me jump, what with the thunder sound that hits, as well as the lightning flash, when it appears. (Side note, lighting and thunder at the same time is a great way of showing how close the storm is.) These are often decently challenging, especially to get through first try, and add a good sense of pressure to the game.
There's also a lot to do for completion -- inside each level will be six babbies (little colourful bird thingies who I was calling 'Flickies' for the longest time lol), a relic piece which creates a stone carving per area when you collect all that area's pieces (these are usually much better hidden than the babbies, expecting you to walk through secret exits or follow secret trails of wind) denoted as nearby by the music quietening and a 'glowing' sound effect beginning, as well as a number of glowing butterflies along the path that you'll be graded on completion of at the end of the level (bronze, silver, or gold), a Goo Shu race available to do on level replays to speedrun it, and a stamp for beating the level deathless.
The visuals are stunning, and the animation's beautiful. Shu's (the character's) movements look super charming, and they have a cute design! The area's all have a unique aesthetic, ranging from a gloomy jungle, to a barren desert, to a graveyard! My favourite area, design-wise, is definitely the last one; the City of Eagles is beatiful to look at, with a very interesting sense of architecture and design -- the shattered glass look especially looks lovely.
Tumblr media
The music's great too! It's often simple, but the storm's (Chris's) theme is intimidating, most of the overworld themes are quite beautiful, the main theme is wonderful, and the main theme remix for the final level made me really excited to listen to! It's not stand-out brilliant, but it's nice, and I do like it.
Overall, I mostly had a blast collecting everything in all the levels -- the babbies are usually hidden in such a good way to be out the way so you have to search for them, but also not so hidden that it gets annoying. (Except for in one instance, where I swear you just can't even see them... It also involves looping back on yourself whilst being chased, which probably adds to that.) I loved listening for the sound cues for the mural pieces (relics, I think I called them earlier), and it felt good to save all the babbies!
I'm not going to talk about each level individually, because this is mostly just an overview post, but I do want to give special focus to the final level, The Tower, for reasons I hope will become clear.
Conceptually, it's a near-perfect finale. It requires you to re-use all the villagers from all previous area whilst being chased by the eyeless monster way scarier than HK's No Eyes, Chris. The music, as I have said, is stellar, the environment looks beautiful, and it's a good, genuinely challenging test of your skills. I like the way it forces you to alternate playing with villagers and without, but I think that also highlights my main issue with it -- it's kinda difficult to remember the controls of villagers you haven't used in hours of in-game time, especially when you're expected to do so on the fly, whilst fleeing Chris "help he knocked me off the platform with his tentacles" the Storm.
You're very liable to die because you don't remember which two buttons activate which villagers under which circumstances, an issue increased by the fact that you always have two villagers with you at once in this level. This can be incredibly frustrating when this level is by far the longest in the game, and some of the length between checkpoints can be brutal, and if you lose all five lives, you reset to the beginning of the level. I'm not mad that it's challenging, more so that it can feel unfairly so in this level specifically.
But... It still felt fantastic to beat, and I was thrilled with the ending cutscene and cute pieces of concept art used in the credits.
In general, the game is pretty cheap, and frequently on sale, so if you feel like giving it a chance, I would highly recommend! If you like Ori BF/WotW, you'll probably enjoy Shu! (Though, I would note that the Switch version sometimes crashes -- both me and a friend have issues with the game crashing between levels -- it really doesn't seem to like it if you spam the restart option too much. I can't comment on the other versions of the game, though.)
So.... Nobody' played Shu, or even heard of it, it would seem, but thank you to a sweet little game for giving me a fun time :)
Now, just for fun, me and @sirspears put together a tier list of all the Shu villagers + the diabolical and disasterous Chris. If anyone has played this game, feel free to ask about the placements lol

Unlock Your Weight Loss Potential:Effective Strategies for Rapid Weight Loss
Tumblr media
Are you tired of struggling with excess weight and searching for ways to shed those pounds quickly and efficiently? Look no further! In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore proven techniques and strategies to help you achieve your weight loss goals in record time.
Maximizing Your Weight Loss Journey
Kickstart Your Metabolism for Rapid Results
Rev up your metabolism by incorporating high-intensity interval training (HIIT) into your exercise routine. HIIT workouts are known for their ability to torch calories and boost metabolic rate both during and after exercise, making them a powerful tool for fast weight loss.
Embrace a Balanced and Nutrient-Rich Diet
Swap out processed foods for whole, nutrient-dense options like lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Focus on incorporating foods rich in fiber and protein to promote satiety and prevent overeating. Additionally, drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and support optimal metabolic function.
Harnessing the Power of Mindful Eating
Practice Portion Control
Mindful eating involves paying attention to your body's hunger and fullness cues, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods while still maintaining control over your portions. Start by using smaller plates and utensils to help control portion sizes, and take the time to savor each bite to fully appreciate the flavors and textures of your meals.
Slow Down and Chew Thoroughly
Eating slowly and chewing your food thoroughly not only aids in digestion but also allows your brain to register feelings of fullness more accurately. Aim to take at least 20-30 minutes to finish your meals, and focus on enjoying the dining experience without distractions like television or smartphones.
Incorporating Lifestyle Changes for Lasting Results
Prioritize Quality Sleep
Getting an adequate amount of quality sleep is essential for overall health and well-being, including weight management. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night, and establish a relaxing bedtime routine to help promote restful sleep.
Manage Stress Effectively
Chronic stress can contribute to weight gain by triggering hormonal imbalances and promoting unhealthy eating habits. Incorporate stress-reducing activities such as yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises into your daily routine to help manage stress levels and support your weight loss efforts.
Conclusion: Achieve Your Weight Loss Goals Faster Than Ever Before
By implementing the strategies outlined in this guide, you can take charge of your weight loss journey and achieve noticeable results in a shorter amount of time. Remember to stay consistent, stay focused, and celebrate your progress along the way. With dedication and determination, you can unlock your weight loss potential and transform your body for the better.

I've been seeing a lot of talk about the Community Labels debacle, and I figured I really need to make a post about why it's particularly fucked up that it's happening.
First things first: some definitions. Explicit content and mature content are two different categories, for the intents and purposes of Tumblr's ToS.
Explicit content filtering
Implemented in 2018, as a direct result of the porn ban.
Algorithmic. One filter checks at time of post. A second checks once the post is complete. At any time after a post is made, any user can flag a post as explicit.
Allegedly, flagged posts/blogs are reviewed by a real human, as posts/blogs that get reported aren't yanked instantly.
Both blogs and posts can be flagged as explicit.
If a blog is flagged for explicit content, its avatar and header are censored, it's removed from search results, cannot be viewed at blog level on PC, and its posts can generally only be viewed by appearing on the dash of a user who already follows it.
The only way a user can toggle whether they see explicit content on their dash is to simply not follow explicit blogs.
Explicit content doesn't abide by Tumblr's ToS. As such, having too many posts flagged as explicit can get the blog and/or entire account banned.
Community labels (AKA "Mature Content")
Implemented in 2023, part of "bringing back the tiddy"
Not algorithmic. OP can mark the post themselves to benefit other users. At any time, literally any user can flag a post as "missing a community label."
Besides being broadly labeled "Mature," OP can additionally mark a post as specifically containing sexual, violent, or drug themed. To label a post as mature, OP doesn't have to specify. If a user that is not OP flags a post as missing a community label, that user cannot specify what mature theme(s) they believe the post contains.
Allegedly, the flagging system is algorithmic. If any user flags a post as missing a label, the system will automatically mark that post as mature.
Only posts can have community labels. If you're viewing a blog on PC and receive a "This blog may contain mature content" warning, that means that one or more posts loading on page 1 of the blog have a community label. Both original posts and reblogs will trigger this message.
Most users can change the visibility of mature content in their settings, and can change these settings to make certain types of mature content visible but hide others. On Android, users can do so in the app, and all users who are not minors can change these settings in a browser. iOS users cannot change the visibility of mature content in the app at this time. Mature content is hidden by default to new users, and cannot be toggled on for users who are minors.
Mature content abides by Tumblr's ToS. At this time, I'm not sure whether a user can get banned for consistently neglecting to apply community labels to their posts, but I do know that as long as it follows all other community guidelines, mature content will not get a user banned.
The explicit content algorithm has been notoriously buggy and inconsistent from the beginning. For example, I personally had a toy duck marked as explicit without appeal. This algorithm has always been heavily skewed to flagging LGBT posts--including text posts, and including posts that didn't even contain "Mature Content"--to the point that Tumblr recently settled a lawsuit for discrimination allegations. Entire tags were hidden from searchability, and just adding certain tags to a post could get it flagged. I'm not sure whether it's gotten all that much better.
Now, the current issue is with the Community Labels. Transwomen in particular seem to be disproportionately getting swaths of posts marked Mature, and appeals aren't removing erroneous labeling. The posts can be about literally anything, and be any type of post, but most commonly it's transwomen's selfies.
The only algorithmic way for a post to become flagged as "missing a community label" is if a user adds "NSFW" to the post's tags, either when OP makes or edits it, or when any user reblogs it. Every other way a post will gain a Mature Content label is user driven.
I believe this can only mean one of two things: 1. Transphobes are abusing the "missing a community label" button to purposely hide transwomen's posts from minors and people who've opted out of mature content. If appeals are in fact handled by human review, that means staff is either just as prejudiced and/or is siding with the transphobes. 2. Or, staff is testing a feature which will eventually algorithmically determine whether a post contains mature themes automatically, and their current algorithm is just as prejudiced as the one that dictates explicit content. If so, that means the company learned nothing from the discrimination lawsuit.
It could be both, but I'm inclined to believe this is the work of some particularly nasty transphobes, just based on how many screenshots I've seen of people's activity feeds where they suddenly get dozens of Community Label flag notifications for posts of ANY age. (Really, if it's people doing this, I'd say they're being rather immature, hm?)
If anyone has more information about the situation, please don't hesitate to add onto this post.
If this has been happening to you, you have my deepest sympathies, and I really hope that @staff fixes the issue with utmost priority. I know that the staff blog made a post recently that mentions that they know there's a serious problem with Community Labels right now, so hopefully that means they're actually working on a fix.

Unveiling the Mystery of Google Sandbox: A Comprehensive Analysis
In search engine optimization (SEO), few concepts evoke as much speculation and intrigue as the Google Sandbox. Often cited as a phenomenon affecting new websites, the Sandbox purportedly restricts their ability to rank prominently in search results during the early stages of their existence. Despite its widespread recognition among SEO practitioners, the Google Sandbox remains mysterious, with debates raging over its existence, mechanisms, and implications. This article endeavours to unravel the enigma of the Google Sandbox, offering a comprehensive analysis informed by extensive research, industry insights, and empirical evidence.
The Origins of the Google Sandbox Myth:
The concept of the Google Sandbox first gained prominence in SEO circles in the mid-2000s, fueled by anecdotal evidence and observations from practitioners. It was believed that Google implemented the Sandbox to prevent new websites from manipulating search rankings through aggressive SEO tactics. However, the Sandbox's existence has been controversial, with Google neither confirming nor denying its existence.
Understanding the Alleged Mechanisms of the Google Sandbox:
Various theories have emerged regarding the mechanisms of the Google Sandbox and how it operates. One prevailing hypothesis posits that new websites are subjected to a probationary period during which their rankings are deliberately suppressed. This period, often speculated to last three to six months, is a vetting process to assess the credibility and trustworthiness of the website's content and backlink profile.
Empirical Evidence and Debates Surrounding the Google Sandbox:
Despite the widespread acknowledgement of the Google Sandbox within the SEO community, empirical evidence supporting its existence remains scarce. Numerous studies and experiments have been conducted to ascertain the validity of the Sandbox hypothesis, yielding mixed results. While some SEO practitioners claim to have observed Sandbox-like behaviour in new websites, others argue that fluctuations in rankings are attributable to other factors, such as algorithm updates or natural SEO progression.
Alternative Explanations and Factors Influencing New Website Rankings:
Sceptics of the Google Sandbox theory argue that fluctuations in rankings for new websites can be attributed to many factors beyond the alleged Sandbox effect. These factors may include the quality and relevance of content, the competitiveness of the niche, on-page optimization, backlink profile, and user engagement metrics. Additionally, algorithmic changes and updates by search engines can impact rankings across the board, regardless of a website's age.
Practical Implications and Strategies for New Websites:
Regardless of the validity of the Google Sandbox hypothesis, new websites face unique challenges in establishing their presence and gaining traction in search results. Rather than fixating on being sandboxed, webmasters and SEO practitioners should focus on implementing best practices to improve their website's visibility and authority. This may include creating high-quality, relevant content, optimizing on-page elements, earning authoritative backlinks, and fostering user engagement.
Google's Stance and Official Statements on the Google Sandbox:
Google has consistently remained tight-lipped regarding the existence of the Sandbox, neither confirming nor denying its presence. In response to inquiries about the Sandbox, Google representatives have often reiterated the search engine's commitment to delivering relevant and high-quality search results. They emphasize the importance of adhering to Google's Webmaster Guidelines and focusing on providing value to users rather than gaming the system.
In conclusion, the Google Sandbox remains a contentious topic within the realm of SEO, with conflicting viewpoints and limited empirical evidence to prove its existence. While many practitioners believe in the Sandbox's effects based on anecdotal observations, sceptics argue that alternative explanations and factors may better account for fluctuations in rankings for new websites. Regardless of the veracity of the Sandbox hypothesis, new websites must focus on implementing sound SEO strategies and providing value to users to achieve sustainable success in search engine rankings. As the SEO landscape evolves, staying informed, adaptable, and focused on delivering exceptional user experiences remains paramount for webmasters and SEO professionals alike.
