I am deeply sceptical of the current use of AI, with all of the plagiarism-by-proxy and ethical concerns. However, this excellent post mortem by the BBC has made it clear that we finally, allegedly, have a true, all-out AI huckster on our hands, Billy Coull. He has also 'written' 'novels', according to the BBC potentially with substantial AI help.
This story has delighted me, as it has so many others, partially for the inexplicable madness of "The Unknown, an evil chocolate maker who lives in the walls" and partly the sheer *Scottishness* of it. The actors doing their best to "be the sparkles on shit" and make the best of a bad job, the Glasgow crowd knowing precisely who to get annoyed at (ie, not the poor souls in costume), Wonka going to the press and *fully* understanding the brief (per The Independent, he says "in some ways, it was a world of imagination, like 'imagine that there is a whole chocolate factory here'", and "I didn't know where I ended and Wonka began"). We have excellent journalists and (allegedly) Billy Coull to thank for this.
And how better to thank him than with some dubiously ethical AI. I for one wanted to know much more about that beloved Roald Dahl character, The Unknown. And so...
Tumblr media
Let ChatGPT sing you a song of moving and yet curiously generic and oddly-phrased heartbreak:
In the heart of a vibrant town filled with the scent of cocoa and the laughter of children, there existed a boy known only as "The Unknown." Abandoned at birth, he was left to fend for himself in a world that showed him no kindness. With no family to call his own, he wandered the streets like a ghost, his heart heavy with sorrow.
It was within the walls of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory that The Unknown found solace, hidden away from prying eyes and judgmental whispers. There, amidst the whirring machinery and the intoxicating aroma of chocolate, he discovered a sense of purpose, a reason to keep moving forward.
But behind the silver mask that obscured his face, The Unknown harbored a deep-seated pain, a childhood marked by trauma and neglect. Raised in the shadows of the factory, he had known nothing but cruelty and hardship, his innocence stolen from him at a tender age.
As the years passed, The Unknown's bitterness grew, festering like a wound that refused to heal. Consumed by rage and resentment, he vowed to claim the factory as his own, to exact revenge upon a world that had abandoned him.
And so, with a heavy heart and a mind clouded by darkness, The Unknown descended into madness, his dreams of redemption twisted and warped by the scars of his past. In the end, it was not the sweetness of chocolate that defined him, but the bitterness of his own tragic origin, a haunting reminder of the pain that lurks within us all.
What was next for this poor soul, you may ask? Well...
Tumblr media
After a couple of tweaks...
Tumblr media
...the AI lovingly generated this string of approximately human-like words:
In the heart of the town, where the scent of cocoa mingled with the whispers of the wind, there lived a man named Billy Coull. He was a cunning and deceitful soul, preying upon the hopes and dreams of innocent families with his schemes and scams.
For years, Billy had operated under the guise of a philanthropist, promising to help those in need in exchange for their hard-earned money. But behind his charming smile lay a heart as black as coal, his only motivation driven by greed and a thirst for power.
One fateful day, word reached the ears of The Unknown, the enigmatic figure who dwelled within the walls of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. It was whispered among the shadows that Billy Coull had swindled countless families out of their savings, leaving them destitute and broken.
Filled with a righteous fury, The Unknown vowed to mete out justice upon the deceitful man, to ensure that no more innocent lives would be ruined by his wickedness. With silent determination, he set his plan into motion, his heart heavy with the weight of his purpose.
Under the cover of darkness, The Unknown emerged from the shadows, his silver mask gleaming in the moonlight as he confronted Billy Coull in the dead of night. With a voice like thunder, he condemned the man for his crimes, his words echoing through the empty streets like a solemn promise of retribution.
But Billy, arrogant and defiant to the end, scoffed at The Unknown's warning, dismissing him as nothing more than a mere figment of imagination. Little did he know that fate had already sealed his doom, his reckoning drawing near with each passing moment.
In a swift and decisive move, The Unknown unleashed the deadly chocolate hounds, creatures born of darkness and tempered by the fires of vengeance. With gnashing jaws and eyes ablaze with hunger, they descended upon Billy Coull, their voracious appetite sated only by the taste of his treachery.
As the hounds closed in on Billy, The Unknown uttered a single phrase, his voice dripping with contempt and disdain, "get it up ye, ya bampot," a final testament to the justice that awaited those who dared to cross him.
And as the first light of dawn broke upon the horizon, the town whispered tales of the mysterious figure who had emerged from the shadows to right the wrongs of the world, a silent guardian watching over them from the depths of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, his justice swift and merciless.
THIS IS CANON.
All #Unknownfic should be written by AI, human imagination has no place where The Unknown is involved.

That person Nintendo went after was genuinely a very very bad and exploitative scammer, some reblogs on that post go into it in detail including how taking a portion of wages is a standard way to collect fines that cannot be immediately paid in full. I dont feel bad that he received legal action, but considering the total fine is so large he might have his wages taken from for life, I do feel like Nintendo is overreaching to scare others into not trying the same thing. Which I think is a really dumb and dystopian "we have the money to fuck this one guy up real bad so you better not try the same" situation that makes me think less of the company, a company I already disliked.
Bit of a meaningless ask, sorry, just saw a lot of people thinking he was some innocent modder and Nintendo was big and evil and scary, but really Nintendo just really screwed over one bad guy way more than was necessary and it was a gross misuse of power to scare others into not messing with them. No harm meant by this, just wanted to say this to someone, if you feel differently I'd like to hear about it
First off, yes, the story is more nuanced but Nintendo still comes out the villain with how insanely severe the punishment is. Second off, this isn't a single instance, Nintendo has a long and disgusting history of fucking over fans and creators. They are a built-for-profit corporation which does everything in its power to earn more and more each year, no matter what. It has been repeatedly proven that things like piracy and fan games don't really hurt sales, and for Nintendo to crack down on it again and again shows their disregard for the consumers beyond how much money they can extract from us. This should be taken as a harsh reminder of that if nothing else. The same goes for every other corporation, but Nintendo gets away with it the most because people are blinded by nostalgia goggles and the like.
To go more in-depth, Gary Bowser wasn't a "scammer". He ran a company that made pirating hardware for consoles, including the Nintendo Switch. Their products allowed you to run pirated and homebrew software. There wasn't any scamming there, the products functioned as advertised. The problem was that they contained DRM protection, preventing others from copying the software's code. Using an unofficial cartridge would lead to bricking the console, which is definitely hypocritical. It was also faulty and could, unintentionally trigger even in the original cartridges on rare occasions when you messed with settings too much for example. So yes, that is bad, BUT obviously Nintendo doesn't give a shit about that. All they care about is that someone used a Nintendo product or IP in a fashion which they did not ordain, profit or not, and they once again acted with extreme prejudice. It's highly likely that Gary Bowser will never, ever be able to repay the massive debt to Nintendo before his death, especially considering his poor health and age will make it hard for him on the job market in general. And there is no way Nintendo's lawyers didn't realise this, it isn't to recuperate any supposed losses. It is, as you say, a scare tactic, because Nintendo's higher ups care that much more about their money-making products over a human life which they have, effectively, destroyed. Regardless of how good of a person they might be. (all this info regarding the case can be found in the articles in the post I reblogged, and articles linked in the reblogs you mentioned)

home we’ll go
Cassian Andor only comes back to Ferrix for two things: to get Maarva and Bee, and to say goodbye to the people he cares about. Neither goes the way he expects it to.
AU for episode 7: what if Jyn had grown up on Ferrix?
Cassian has it all figured out.
This time, finally.
He knows what he’s doing, knows what he wants, knows how to get it. No more stumbling around in the dark, drifting through life aimlessly, going where the tide takes him. This money, the credits he’d earned — it’s his chance at something better. They won’t have to live in fear anymore. He won’t have to walk past Rix Road and think of Clem hanging there. Maarva won’t have to save on the heating, shivering in her thin coat. Bee won’t have to make do with his old and outdated components that leave him with so little power reserves and make him freeze up for data lag.
There’ll be no more debts and cons and thefts and favors from friends that ultimately leave him alienated from everyone. He has enough credits to pay back all the people he’s borrowed from. Perhaps that’s the only thing he can do for them; give them their money and the courtesy of his absence. Perhaps someday they will remember him as the man who kept his word after all and gave them what they were owed.
Whatever they will think of him, it’s of no consequence to him anymore. He only came back to collect the people he needed. Pay off his debts, make his goodbyes and apologies, then be on his merry way with the only family he has left.
And if Maarva doesn’t seem as excited as he’d hoped, he chalks it up to the fact that she’s a tired old woman who needs her rest. He should go see Bix anyway.
And Jyn.
He should say goodbye.
“We’ll pull out first thing in the morning,” he tells her and ignores the way her nod seems reluctant. She only calls after him when he’s at the door, hand on the control panel.
“She’s at the ship. Been spending time there recently, I hear.”
Cassian’s heart squeezes, but he doesn’t turn back.
She doesn’t have to specify who.
xxx
The things Bix says to him weigh on his mind as he makes his way to the ship he’d slept in more than he’d ever slept at home.
He hadn’t expected Bix to welcome him with open arms, but it was a blow in the face to realize how damaged their relationship has become.
People blame you. You scam, you borrow, you lie, you disappear…
Well, there it is then. That’s his legacy here on Ferrix. Nothing but trouble.
Why should I care? he asks himself, but the bitter resentment is hard to brush aside. That’s all they ever saw me as anyway.
Ferrix hadn’t been cruel to him exactly, but when push came to shove, they would rather blame him than Timm. Easier to hate the outsider than someone who’d always been one of their own, he supposes. All the more reasons for him to get off this planet and never look back. Finally close this chapter of his life for good, do something new. Anything he wants.
If not for the fact that leaving meant losing the one person in the galaxy who knows him to the bone.
Every story, every mistake, every little secret. All the bad parts of him that he never hid from anyone, and all the good parts that he didn’t always show. She’s been privy to them all.
The thought of leaving that behind cuts him in half.
And when he finally reaches the ship and walks inside, greeted with the sight of her lying in the bunk he so often slept in, he knows he’ll never find that in anyone again.
Jyn’s self-preservation instincts are just as good as his, and the noise of his entrance startles her awake. Half-conscious, she shoots up, one hand reaching for the lamp beside her, the other for her hidden knife in her boot. She brandishes it in his direction without checking to see who had interrupted her sleep, but her eyes widen when their gazes meet.
Her hand drops. Her mouth falls open.
He half expects her to greet him with anger.
Instead, he only has time to mutter a quiet “hey” before she rushes at him and wraps her arms around his shoulders.
“Cassian,” she gasps into his ear, and it’s the sweetest sound he’s ever heard. He lets his body loosen, lets his hands settle on her back. His eyes close, his breathing evens out.
He’s home.
“You’re back,” she mutters after a second, her voice high with relief. Unfortunately, the words seem to snap her back to reality. She pulls back to look at him, and Cassian barely has time to mourn the loss of her warmth because her eyes are wide with worry and she’s shaking her head. “You can’t be here.”
His stomach drops. He can’t listen to this speech again. Not from her.
“People are really angry —”
“I’ve heard,” he interrupts her, not even bothering to hide the bitterness in his voice. There’s no point with her. He finally drops his hand from her back, and Jyn steps away, her eyes sad as she gazes at him. “I’m the social pariah. What’s new?”
“Fuck them. If Timm wasn’t already dead, I’d kill him myself.”
And he doesn’t doubt she would. Maybe not literally — but Jyn would have made him miserable, that he knows. She’s fiercely loyal and almost aggressively protective. Cassian considers himself privileged to be counted among those she’d go to battle for.
“But if the imps catch you…”
His gaze falls to the floor, a grimace on his face. He feels like a hand has wrapped around his heart, squeezing until he’s out of breath and panting from the pain. This is going to be difficult to say without looking into her eyes.
“Don’t worry, I’m not staying. I just came to get Maarva and Bee, then we’re gone. I got some money, it’s enough to get us out of here and go somewhere far away. They won’t find me.”
“How did you manage that?” she asks. He doesn’t know if it’s incredulity or suspicion he hears in her voice.
But it’s not really a question he can answer, and he isn’t going to lie to her so he just shakes his head. “It’s safer if you don’t know.”
She doesn’t answer. When the silence stretches on, he can’t resist glancing up to see what she’s thinking, but the uncertainty and sorrow painted across her face is still a blow. He thinks she already knows where this is going.
“Will you come back?”
Another person wouldn’t have heard the waver in her voice. Cassian does. He swallows.
This isn’t the first time he had to leave. Youth centers and missing sisters and dead corpos — there was always something or another. His life has been an endless loop of goodbyes.
But he’d always come back. He always knew he would.
“Not this time.”
And it tears at him, the knowledge that this might be the last time they speak, but he can’t ask her to come with them. He won’t.
Jyn seems to know this too. Her gaze drops to her feet, but he catches the flash of pain that shoots across her face. She looks small, standing in front of him, arms wrapped around herself, eyes on the floor.
After a moment, she speaks. “What about Bix?”
What about me?
Cassian struggles to find the words, to calm his heart and steady his voice. “She has a life here. Family, friends. I’m not gonna ask her to leave that all behind for me.” He falters, wondering if he should go on. “She wouldn’t come anyway.”
Jyn looks up, something heavy shining in her eyes. It’s a rare thing, but he realizes he can’t tell what she’s thinking. Does she hate him for this, does she understand?
If anyone would, it’d be her.
He can’t stay. But he can’t ask her to come.
“So this is goodbye?”
He gives a small nod. His voice is quiet and gentle when he speaks, “Afraid so. I’m going to miss you, Jyn Erso.”
A noise leaves her lips; half a laugh, half a sob. He’s one of the few lucky ones who knows her true last name, and the realization that he’ll never get to say it again and watch her eyes soften is almost too much for him. It’s a secret he’ll tuck away close to his heart and take to the grave. A name he’ll remember when all else had been forgotten.
“I’m going to miss you too, Kassa.”
He can’t bear to touch her again, or he’ll crumble. If he doesn’t go now, he never will. He turns around, heart aching, ignoring every last part of him that screams to stay. He should be getting back to Maarva, they should be leaving soon. Before the sun comes up, before the time grappler rings his anvil to announce the start of a new day.
He stops only at the entrance of the ship, rapping his knuckles against the broken door as he turns back one last time to meet her eyes.
“Anything I leave behind is yours to keep. Just don’t hold onto my memory too tight. Be safe, Jyn. You’re gonna change this galaxy one day.”
He turns away before she could respond because he’s a coward.
He doesn’t want to see her cry.
xxx
He’s alone again.
Somehow, it always ends like this.
He really thought this was it, the chance at a quiet life he’s been seeking all his life. Go somewhere warm and easy, start again. But Maarva had rejected him, had stubbornly insisted on staying, and if she was staying, so was Bee. And if they were staying…
Cassian would never be free of this cycle. Look for Kerri, come back for Maarva, come back for Bee, come back for Jyn, look for Kerri, run from the law, look for Kerri, come back for Maarva…
How is it fair? That she’d take him from his sister, his people, his home, the only place he’d ever known, then refuse to even stick with him? Isn’t he owed her loyalty at least? Shouldn’t a mother choose her son?
He’s here, living and breathing and real, and she’s choosing an idea over him.
He tries to shake it off, but it eats at him the whole ride. He’s leaving Ferrix with nothing but his credits and the clothes on his back. Neither will keep him company or chase away the stifling loneliness he already feels settling around him.
Everything he’s been through, only to end up back where he started. Richer, perhaps, but no less alone.
What a joke his life has become.
The ship he bought from the doctor is waiting in the Wastelands, as close to the city as he dared to park it, but apparently not hidden well enough. Cassian stops dead in his tracks when he arrives, shock overpowering any other emotion he’s feeling.
“How did you…”
Jyn shrugs, leaning against her speeder, hands in her pockets. “I know you.” She kicks herself off the bike, looks around, and gives him a questioning look when she realizes he’s alone. “Maarva and Bee?”
Cassian’s gaze drops. “They’re not coming.”
She doesn’t answer right away, but he feels her gaze burning into him, assessing. He doesn’t really have to say anything else for her to understand. She heard his tone, heard his bitterness. Knows Maarva and their complicated history almost as well as he knows it. Enough to put the pieces together.
“Well, we don’t need them anyway.”
He looks up at her then, his heart hammering. He sees the bag at her feet. The determination written plain across her face. But he doesn’t dare hope.
“What are you…”
“You were not going to ask me to come with you.”
“I told you I can’t.”
She snorts, shaking her head at him in fondness. “The one time you’re selfless.”
She didn’t mean it as a jab, but his lips pull into a frown. He was trying to be, yes. He has no illusions about himself. But Jyn deserves better than his usual brand of selfishness.
How could he ask her to leave behind everything she’s ever known? The home she found after losing her first one?
“Your shop —”
“Fuck the shop.”
“Brasso —”
“He’ll be fine,” she cuts him off again and takes a step closer. She sounds so confident, and he’s more than eager to believe her. But what would he do if she changed her mind a year from now — or worse. Began to resent him for it?
“It’s a big choice to make,” he points out. Has she really no doubts?
“Are you trying to talk me out of it?”
“No, no, it’s just that…”
Maarva hadn’t chosen him. Why would Jyn?
The unspoken question sits on his lips, and she knows him too much to miss it. Without hesitation, she snatches his hand and squeezes it, never breaking eye contact. She looks certain. As certain as he’s ever seen her. The same look of determination on her face that she gets when suggesting some terrible idea that’d get them both in trouble.
“I want to come. If you’ll take me. Let’s go see the galaxy.”
Giving him a choice, as she always would.
He’s never been able to say no.
He smiles, a waver in his voice as he tells her, “Welcome home.”

What embarrassing things were your OCs into in middle school?
Ooh alright, that'll be fun!
Rae: Really enjoyed learning various languages, of course, and always has. But at that age, that translated to trying to "impress" her friends by randomly slipping into another language and laughing it off like she didn't do it on purpose. I mean... look, she was a seventh-grade girl in a town predominantly made up of mutants with interesting powers, she absolutely had her own little "quirky" stage to try and feel as unique as them.
Robin: I mean, she was a theatre/opera kid all her life. It's not so embarrassing as an adult, but as a kid it earned her more than a few odd looks.
Madison: I don't know that she really had anything super embarrassing? Maybe once her mutation came in, she ended up coping with it by doing a lot of research into tropical fish - never owned any, but she could rattle off their Latin names and fun facts like it was nothing.
Quinn: I think this was right when she was first realizing she was trans and didn't quite process it at first, so in an attempt to bury it she rebounded so hard in the other direction. She got obsessed with the fake WWE shows (it was the first "manly" thing she could latch on to) and knew all the wrestlers names, all their moves, etc.. She can still name them all to this day - and she's made a bit of money placing bets in pubs with that
Ophelia: Was always a bit of a resident weird kid for being so absorbed in engineering and robotics, but in middle school she went through a specific phase about robotic pets/animals. Not like a normal kid, though... she read Fahrenheit 451 and wanted to build the Hound.
Katherine: She was a hardcore comics kid, and had a whole self-drawn comic book of herself as a superhero. She made several full issues of it, with her bullies as supervillains that she would vanquish. Those same bullies eventually found it, so that one didn't really end will for her.
Jasper: Emo phase! Just... that's all I need to say about that one.
Nikoletta: Got deep into voodoo, but specifically the fake touristy voodoo (this later led to her running her scam in high school/adulthood). She also got a pack of tarot cards and would claim to do readings on her classmates, but she made it all up to "take revenge" on the kids she disliked by giving them "bad fates". She was... not popular in school, lol
(no answers for Kestrel, Indigo, Prometheus, and Eris since none of them really attended middle school)

Basically 30% sweetness and 50% tanginess (??) Cause the squad can't have a day without being chaotic lmao
I'm sorry if this is a hard order i just can't help myself jsksjkajska
Have a nice day! :>

Subin doesn’t seem like the type of person to throw away money Just Because, but also the type to spend half of her allotted budget on arcade games that are obviously scams 
Actually didn’t realize what it meant to have a black card until she whipped it out at school to buy a soda from the vending machine. The vending machine. Subin is really quite something. 
Usually quite generous in treating for people, but gets stupidly stubborn about it when it comes to Jisuk. 
“You think I’d waste this hard-earned money on you?!” “That isn’t even your money, you stingy bitch.” 
Half of the expenses is covering Wooin’s food. 
Jisuk called Subin Wooin’s “sugar mommy” once and he ended up in the hospital for a week 
Both she and Jisuk are planning to cover Jiwoo and Wooin’s tuition if/when they head into college
Considering both Subin and Jisuk’s positions, it make a lot more sense for Subin to have a black card and not Jisuk 
Subin was described to be treated like a princess, and never had much discipline enforced on her. A black card probably would’ve been one of the first things she was given once she was able to speak. 
The reason Jisuk wouldn’t have a black card? Jiyoung is a damn strict sister. I think she wouldn’t approve of Jisuk spending money recklessly despite his status, and although allows him to use the Shinwha budget, he has to get her approval first and get money loaned to him (as seen when he asks Jiyoung for an allowance) 
She’d probably enforce more sensible ideals onto Jisuk, and a black card is way out of the question. I don’t think Jisuk would even care or want a black card, either. Maybe it’s more convenient, but other than that, it doesn’t matter to him. 
That is, until Subin started flexing that stupid little black piece of plastic, and nothing gets Jisuk going more than feeling inferior to Subin. 
(Spoiler alert: He never got a black card, and sulked about it for weeks) 
She has lent her card to Wooin and Jiwoo several times-which started becoming an even more common occurrence when she figured out their means of transportation. Although they are regularly sponsored by Shinwha and the Union for flights and carrides, they’re still unaffiliated, which means they don’t exactly sit in the lap of luxury. 
Anyways, Subin changed that. Whenever they’re travelling somewhere, she has literally sneaked her card into their pockets so they can use it to get the best rental cars, hotels and airlines (all of which are benefits of having a black card) 
They keep on telling her it’s too much, but homegirl deadass Does Not Care. You call it spoiling her friends, she calls it expressing her affection. 
The type to use her black card for free trials, then completely forget to turn it off after the 30 days and get charged 
Thank you for reading!

my braincells are on.
I like to think about the possibility of if Freddy became the partner that Kreacher was looking for when it came to managing the orphanage.
I don't know what the timelines are in canon very much, and whether a partnership could have ever been possible (its implied that Kreacher was already running the orphanage from very young and I dont know how long he had it before surrendering it to the church -- likewise, i'm not sure at what point Freddy was in his life at the same time, like did he already elope with martha? how long were they together before tragedy struck?)
Disregarding the mess that is the canon timeline, if Kreacher and Freddy had a chance to meet, I think they could have ran the orphanage very successfully together.
I like to imagine that Freddy goes to the orphanage with the intent of adopting a recently orphaned Lisa, but Kreacher rejects him (partly because she helps earn the most donations, and partly because he does not trust Freddy at all.) Freddy would do everything he can to get his way, of course; bribery, threats to sue and all that.
At the end of it, they would come to a reluctant agreement where Freddy regularly makes donations to help the orphanage, and in exchange, he gets to spend time with Lisa to prove that he would be a fit guardian (even tho Lisa clearly wants nothing to do with him). Kreacher has no problem with taking his money, with zero intention of ever letting Lisa get adopted.
In his time at the orphanage, Freddy does a little more than he intended -- he can see that the orphanage's finances are a mess, as well as the actual building., and takes matters into his own hands often to help where he can, partly because he feels bad for the kids living in such poor conditions (buuut mostly because he cant stand a mess, the kids come second ; __ ;)
At the beginning, they naturally can't stand each other. Freddy hates how Kreacher uses the children to pick pockets and collect donations by guilting people and stealing. But he also sees just how much Kreacher cares for the children and how hard he works to earn the little money they can get.
And Kreacher, even though he hates Freddy's guts and only tolerates him for the money he brings in, slowly begins to recognize the hard work and effort that he puts into helping the orphanage.
They bond over caring for the children and fixing up the orphanage, and as they get to know each other and sympathize with one another, they start to catch feelings ahhahjdjdj
Even non-romantically, i feel like they could have made a great team running the orphanage.
but this is a freacher blog so i WILL make them kiss at every opportunity hahaaha
i had more thoughts but, honestly what im trying to get out of this is
freddy and kreacher running the orphanage as married old men, fostering many children,, and being super domestic while scamming rich people
they never go to the manor and have a happy life the end

The city was much bigger than Mirage anticipated. It was packed with buildings standing side to side and people running around the plaza. They were definitely a fish out of water here, as evidenced by the stares they received as they traversed the town.  
Buddy popped out of the hood of their cloak and tugged on one of their tentacles. 
“Hungry again? You just ate the last of the snacks I packed for the voyage. Let’s see if we can find a vendor around here with something relatively cheap.”
Sitting in a corner, in the shade, an Octoling with orange tentacles was flipping through some cards in her hands.
Tumblr media
“Could you let me say anyth-”
“Here we goo!!” she shuffled through the cards excitedly. Mirage rolled their eyes and sighed, crossing their arms and watching her hands closely. 
“I see...I see....oh my...” her hand flew over her mouth dramatically, and she began to circle around them. “I see...danger! Evils! A future most dire, filled with peril and heartbreak!”
“Oh, how upsetting...I’ll be going.” Mirage waved their wand and began to trudge away.
“Uh, w-wait! But I can perform a spell to make it so you have better luck in your future! Only 10000G!!”
“Absolutely not. I can handle any hardships that plague me just fine. Leave me alone.”
She ran in front of them, stopping them from leaving. “W-wait! There’s nothing else you want? I have plenty of other services, you know, and they’re not pricey at all...”
Just then, they felt one of their pockets get lighter. They pull their worn and busted stringer out and aimed it at her.
“The jig’s up. I already know what you’re trying to do. If you’re not scamming me, you’re trying to pickpocket me. Trust me, I am the last person you want to be messing with.”
She laughed nervously, hands behind her back. “Plat, now!!’
She threw Mirage’s wallet in the air, and from one of the balconies, another Octoling zoomed in the air and snatched, landing on the opposing side.
“Got it! Scram, Sandy!” he shouted, running down the staircase with it. 
“You-!!” Mirage’s brow furrowed, and they began to chase after the second Octoling through the crowded streets.
Dodging past cephalopods and jellyfish, as well as goldfish, they keep on the heels of Plat. “Get back here!”
He looked behind him to see Mirage keeping up. “H-Hey! No hard feelings, yeah? We gotta survive out here too!”
“You would’ve survived if you hadn’t picked on the wrong Inkling!” they hissed, and they chucked something at Plat.
“Wah??” he exclaimed as a smallfry latched onto his face, attacking him. “Get this thing off of me!!”
In the scramble, he accidentally let go of the wallet, Mirage picking it up. They make two clicks with their mouth and the smallfy returned to them, jumping into their backpack. 
Sandy accidentally bumped into Mirage, making them drop the wallet once more. It tumbled onto the ground. 
The three make eye contact before diving toward it.
The wallet was shoved over the edge, into the runoff passage. They watched in horror as the wallet floated down the stream, and past the grate. 
Sandy and Plat slowly stood, up, backing away from the seething Mirage.
“Where do you two think you’re running off to?!” they yelled, standing back up and grabbing them by the neck of their shirts, yanking them back towards them. “Because of your idiotic stunt, I now have NO money to feed Buddy with! Now its gonna starve! And you don’t have money either! No one wins here! Are you proud of yourselves?!”
The two gulped, darting their eyes to look at each other. “Gee, we didn’t realize that money was for taking care of the little guy...” Sandy sighed. “I feel real awful now...”
“We also hafta feed ourselves, you know. No hard feelings...” Plat shrunk into his jacket. 
Mirage bit their lip. They sighed as they release their hold on them. “Whatever. Can’t do anything about it now. Guess I’ll have to start earning some.”
“There’s a Salmon Run shop near the lobby...!” Sandy suggested, but they tense up at the words. “No. What would Buddy think if I did that...”
“Um...there’s also turf wars we can play, they give you some cash at the end of every battle.” Plat jabbed his thumb in the direction of the lobby.
Mirage closed their eyes. “It’ll have to do. Without money, I can’t even pay for a train ticket. So I’m stuck here.” They look around the city. “I don’t even know where we could stay...”
“Oh! You could stay at our place! We have a little house off main street that we rent together!” Sandy placed a hand on Plat’s shoulder. 
“I don’t know if staying with the thieves that lost all my money is the best idea...” they grumbled. 
“No! We promise to not cause you anymore problems! Consider this an apology!” Plat bowed down to them in apology, Sandy following suit. 
They look at Buddy, exchanging looks, and they nod. “Fine. But you’re also paying for our dinner tonight, got it?”
“Yeah, got it!” the two hummed in synch.

Alphacrypt-miner.com Reviews: Crypto Mining Scam 2024​
Tumblr media
The Truth Behind Alphacrypt-miner.com: A Warning to Investors
In the ever-expanding landscape of cryptocurrency and digital assets, the allure of quick profits often blinds investors to the dangers lurking beneath the surface. One such danger comes in the form of platforms like Alphacrypt-miner.com, promising high returns with minimal effort. But behind the glossy facade lies a web of deception, manipulation, and financial ruin for unsuspecting investors.
In this exposé, we delve deep into the workings of Alphacrypt-miner.com, uncovering their deceptive tactics and offering guidance on how to steer clear of such platforms. Moreover, we'll explore the insidious use of paid positive reviews to lure in naive users, and provide strategies to protect your hard-earned money from falling into the wrong hands.
Understanding Alphacrypt-miner.com: The Trap of False Promises
Alphacrypt-miner.com presents itself as a reputable platform offering cryptocurrency mining services and investment opportunities. With promises of sky-high returns and minimal risk, it's no wonder that many investors are drawn to its siren song. However, beneath the surface lies a carefully crafted facade designed to deceive and manipulate.
One of the hallmarks of Alphacrypt-miner.com's deception is its opaque nature. The platform provides little to no information about its team, location, or regulatory compliance. This lack of transparency should serve as a red flag to any savvy investor, as it indicates a willingness to operate in the shadows, away from the prying eyes of regulators.
Furthermore, Alphacrypt-miner.com employs a variety of tactics to manipulate users into investing more money. From flashy advertisements promising untold riches to pressure tactics designed to instill fear of missing out, the platform stops at nothing to extract as much money as possible from unsuspecting investors.
How to Spot and Avoid Platforms Like Alphacrypt-miner.com
Now that we understand the dangers posed by platforms like Alphacrypt-miner.com, the question arises: how can investors protect themselves from falling victim to such schemes? Here are a few key strategies to keep in mind:
Do Your Due Diligence: Before investing in any platform, thoroughly research its background, team members, and regulatory status. Look for reviews from trusted sources and seek out feedback from other investors.
Beware of Unrealistic Promises: If an investment opportunity sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Exercise caution when confronted with promises of guaranteed returns or minimal risk.
Demand Transparency: Legitimate investment platforms should be transparent about their operations, regulatory compliance, and financials. If a platform is unwilling to provide this information, proceed with extreme caution.
Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off or doesn't sit right with you, trust your instincts and walk away. It's better to err on the side of caution than to risk losing your hard-earned money.
Seek Guidance from Experts: If you're unsure about an investment opportunity, seek guidance from financial advisors or experts in the field. They can provide valuable insights and help you make informed decisions.
By following these guidelines, investors can minimize their risk of falling victim to platforms like Alphacrypt-miner.com and protect their financial well-being.
The Danger of Paid Positive Reviews
In addition to its deceptive tactics, Alphacrypt-miner.com relies heavily on paid positive reviews to gain the trust of unsuspecting investors. These reviews, often posted on social media, forums, and review websites, paint a rosy picture of the platform's services and downplay any negative aspects.
However, it's essential to approach such reviews with a healthy dose of skepticism. Paid reviewers are incentivized to promote the platform regardless of its actual merits, making their endorsements highly unreliable. Instead, rely on independent sources and verified user feedback to form an accurate picture of a platform's reputation and performance.
Conclusion: Protecting Your Investments in a Dangerous Landscape
In the cutthroat world of cryptocurrency investing, platforms like Alphacrypt-miner.com represent a clear and present danger to unsuspecting investors. By understanding their deceptive tactics, exercising caution, and seeking guidance from trusted sources, investors can protect themselves from financial ruin and avoid falling victim to these schemes.
Remember, if an investment opportunity sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Stay vigilant, do your research, and trust your instincts. Your financial future depends on it.
Before investing in forex, crypto, and stock, check out the government warnings website below about some brands, applications, and websites that are doing scams in the market. It will help you check whether your investment website is safe or not. 
If you are scammed by any platforms regarding investment only, then below are the websites that will help you to recover your funds.

The Holy Book.
Written by:
Spiritual Leader
Salem Mina Grey
Introduction:
Hello dear reader,
I am Salem.
I am 30 years and 130 days old,
on this day, January 6th, in the year 2024.
I write these words
after a lifetime of meditation and study
of all religions, philosophies, and sciences.
I have found that none of them are perfect.
All religions and philosophies are fallible.
All religious groups are corrupted by lies.
I have decided
to write this
holy book
in an attempt
to create an infallible and holy religion.
I do not claim to know everything.
I am human and thus I am capable of being wrong or making a mistake.
I simply wish to share with you all my view of this world and everything I have learned.
This is my first attempt at writing a book.
I hope you enjoy reading my thoughts.
I have spent many years
writing small statements,
sharing my thoughts
on social media,
writing down notes,
and making drawings,
but never before have I written a book.
I will do my best to keep it organized,
and to express my thoughts
in a clear and understandable way.
With this book it is my desire to teach you all as much truth as possible about Earth, Humanity, and our purpose here.
I am sure you will at least find this interesting and perhaps even accept it as an accurate philosophy about existence.
I will now attempt to explain,
everything.
Chapter One:
Reality.
In the begining of all existence
there was nothing,
an endless expanse of nothingness.
Then
at the beginning of all time
The Deity,
The One Above All, was born.
The first universe to ever exist
was
Nothing
the Deity was born and Made
Everything
It was Chaotic.
First the particles joined together
Then stars were born
Then they died
The cosmos became full
of the deities creations
until one day
they made life
it started as microscopic life
then they sent it to earth
on a meteorite
and in the primordial soup
all manner of creatures formed
a meteor struck again
most of the dinosaurs died
evolution took its path again
on Pangaia
the land known as Nibiru
another meteor struck
the continents separated
the air and the water
went away from the impact
and came back
as a monsoon and tidal waves
flooding the entire world
the surviving creatures clung to debris and landed on all of the various continents
the ancestors of humans
landed in Africa
then the spread of humanity
and human history
until now
the modern age
where
in the past 20 years
humanity became overpopulated
growing from 1+m to 10+b
in less than two decades
causing global warming
and failing to even try to fix it
suffering a deadly plague
heading directly into famine
foolishly causing world war 3
and causing the unstoppable
total extinction of humanity.
If every continent were covered in plants and every country worked hard to clean the air and sea then humanity might have a chance.
But they refuse to do anything.
While continuing to pollute the air and sea on a daily basis killing everyone in the world for the sake of making more money so they can pay slave wages charge the maximum legal rent and live in 5 star gated community apartments.
There is no benevolence.
Every church and temple is a scam that demands you give them your hard earned wages for false redemption.
The law and the government are designed to force you to comform while taking as much money away from you as possible without upsetting the ethics and human rights lawyers.
You are born a slave, you are forced to conform to the rules or you are punished, you are forced to learn about many things that you just forget because you don’t care about the information, it is not helpful to you at all, so you learn and forget everything they force you to study, they give you electives, directing you towards a career while creating the illusion of free will.
You are only educated so you can meet the bare minimum criteria for employment.
By the time you graduate you are in debt because they force you to pay for lunch.
More debt to go to college.
More debt to start a business.
More debt to get a studio apartment.
Debt for a McDonald’s Uniform because you got a degree in a field nobody is hiring anyone for anymore because of machine and AI automation.
You struggle for years to pay it all off.
Life is not worth the cost of living.
The struggle continues.
Sunrise and then sunset.
You age and then you die.
So how do you get to heaven?
Chapter 2:
The unseen.
You died.
Now you are a ghost.
The Deity Has created a Hierarchy to manage this aspect of existence:
Deity
Deities
Gods & Goddesses
Angels
Cherubs
Paladins
Clerics
Holy Spirits
Good Spirits
Nice Spirits
Neutral Spirits
Naughty Spirits
Bad Spirits
Evil Spirits
Anti Clerics
Anti Paladins
Imps
Demons
Gods & Goddesses
Deities
Deity
As a ghost you may enjoy
doing such things as:
watching humans do stuff
thinking about all you did wrong
wondering when you can go to heaven
watching evil spirits get dragged down to the underworld
watching holy spirits fly up into the heavens
wandering around to many places
being trapped in a building
repeating traumatic past mistakes
shapeshiting
posessing dead bodies
knocking over glasses
opening and closing cabinets
messing with radios, TVs, and lights.
Valhalla
Tea parties
STD free ghost sex
And reincarnation.
The after life, the spirit world, the unseen, whatever name you call it,
Is a dimension inhabited by the souls of all animals, plants, and living things.
Many souls are dragged down into the core of the planet.
Some enlightened souls rise up into the sky.
Most reincarnate.
Some wander in the here after forever.
It is not that bad.
For those who are hateful
They are treated hatefully
For those who are violent
They are treated violently
For those who are murderers
They are treated murderously
For those that are Violators
They are treated Violatingly
Your sins in life
are punished in the spirit world
until you repent and atone.
Those that do not repent and atone for their sins are dragged down and thrown into the fire in the core of the earth.
By the way,
You are allowed to wear
whatever clothes you want to wear
you are allowed to identify as
whatever you want to identify as
you are allowed to love
whoever you want to love
and
as an adult you may have sex
with any adult who willingly consents.
The only sins in life are:
Hatred, Violence, Murder, Rape, & Theft.
Do none of these things
and you shall have no enemies
for you have caused no harm.
Then, with no enemies, your eternal journey in the here after may begin, and you will find the path to enlightenment easy to walk upon on your way to The Holy City of the Divine.
The path to heaven
can only be found
by those who
regret,
repent,
and
atone,
for their
hatred,
violence,
killing,
raping,
and
stealing.
Most people are lost.
There are many who shall burn.
Now you know.
Chapter 3:
A code of conduct.
Birth.
You should:
Survive, by any means necessary.
Experience all that you can.
Learn as much as you can.
Pray to the Deity at least once per day.
Make as many friends as you can.
Be as helpful as you can,
without letting people
take advantage of you.
Give everything you do
all of your best effort
without causing yourself
any anger or pain.
Be respectful to everyone.
Speak the truth when needed.
Treat all with kindness.
Do not worry about anything you can’t control.
Walk away from conflicts.
Defend the weak when you can.
Protect women and children in distress.
Do good work without accepting more work than you can handle on your own.
Ask for help when you need it.
Theres no shame in holding a sign and a begging bowl if you have no other options, churches pass one around every sunday and waste all the money on whatever they want.
Seek out the truth always.
Never sign any contracts,
all contracts are tools of evil.
Live your life to the fullest.
Wear comfortable and functional clothes that keep you warm and dry in the cold and cool in the heat.
Clothes are only clothes,
wear whatever you like.
You may let your hair grow or cut it
it is your choice either way.
Be yourself and enjoy life.
Wake up every day thinking:
“I’m grateful to be alive today.”
Go to sleep every night thinking:
“I’m grateful I survived today.”
Drink water every day.
Eat food every day.
Clean your teeth, face, & hands often.
Clean your hair and body as needed.
Clean your clothes as needed.
Clean your butt every time you poop.
Clean your genitals often.
(I wrote this rough draft a while ago and abandoned it... free to use)

Investment Fraud Exposed: First Econnect Loan Review
In the world of finance, the promise of high returns can often be too tempting to resist. Many investors are constantly on the lookout for opportunities that can provide them with substantial profits. However, this eagerness to grow their wealth can sometimes lead individuals into the clutches of unscrupulous individuals and organizations engaging in investment fraud. Today, we will delve into the First Econnect Loan Review, a case that sheds light on an alarming instance of investment fraud.
The First Encounter with First Econnect Loan Many investors were initially drawn to First Econnect Loan due to its seemingly promising investment opportunities. The company claims to offer high-yield assured returns on investments, making it a tempting choice for anyone seeking to diversify their investment portfolios. With the promise of minimal risk and impressive rewards, it's no surprise that investors flocked to this platform.
Investment Fraud Uncovered However, the allure of First Econnect Loan turned out to be nothing more than an elaborate facade. As more individuals began to invest their hard-earned money, red flags started to emerge. Investors soon noticed irregularities in the company's operations and began to suspect that they might be caught up in an investment fraud scheme.
First Econnect Loan Review: A Closer Look To better understand the extent of the investment fraud exposed in the First Econnect Loan case, let's take a closer look at some of the critical issues that raised suspicions among investors:
1. Unrealistic Promises: First Econnect Loan enticed investors with the promise of guaranteed high returns, often claiming unrealistic profit margins. Such claims should always be approached with caution, as no legitimate investment opportunity can guarantee fixed returns.
2. Lack of Transparency: One of the hallmarks of a reputable investment platform is transparency. Unfortunately, First Econnect Loan fell short in this regard, as it needed to provide investors with comprehensive information about its operations, financial stability, and investment strategies.
3. Absence of Regulation: Legitimate investment firms are typically regulated by financial authorities to ensure the protection of investors. In the case of First Econnect Loan, there needed to be more regulatory oversight, raising concerns about the legitimacy of the operation.
4. Delayed Withdrawals: As more investors attempted to withdraw their funds, many experienced significant delays. This raised suspicions that First Econnect Loan might be using new investments to pay off previous investors, a characteristic that is characteristic of a Ponzi scam.
The Consequences As the investment fraud perpetrated by First Econnect Loan became more apparent, numerous investors found themselves facing significant financial losses. The allure of quick and guaranteed profits had closed their eyes to the warning signs, resulting in devastating consequences for their portfolios.
Protecting Yourself from Investment Fraud Anyone is susceptible to investment fraud; nevertheless, there are steps you can take to protect yourself from falling victim to such schemes:1. Due Diligence: Before investing in any opportunity, conduct thorough research. Verify the legitimacy of the company, check for regulatory compliance, and seek reviews and testimonials from reputable sources.
2. Diversify Your Portfolio: Diversify your investments. To lessen the blow of a catastrophic loss, spread your money around among several asset classes and investment platforms.
3. Be Skeptical of Unrealistic Returns: If an investment opportunity promises guaranteed high returns with little to no risk, be highly cautious. Keep in mind that there is always an element of uncertainty while investing and that no one can actually know what the market will do.
4. Report Suspicious Activities: If you suspect you've encountered an investment fraud scheme, report it to the appropriate authorities and financial regulators. Others may not fall prey to the same con if you do something about it.
Conclusion A sobering reminder of the perils of the financial world is presented in the First Econnect Loan Review. Because of the catastrophic effects of investment fraud, moving forward, proceed with utmost care and thorough research when considering investment options. While it's too late for those who have already suffered losses, this exposure to investment fraud highlights the importance of staying vigilant.
If you or someone you know has fallen victim to investment fraud, consider seeking assistance from mymoneyback.com, a resource dedicated to helping investors recover their losses and navigate the complex world of financial fraud. Remember, your financial security is worth protecting, and by taking the necessary measures, you can protect yourself from falling prey to investment scams.

Travel Dreams Turned Nightmare: Coimbatore Woman Swindled of Rs 15 Lakh in MakeMyTrip Impersonation Scam
Tumblr media
In a distressing incident that recently transpired in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, a woman has fallen victim to an online scam, losing more than Rs 15 lakh to a cunning impersonator posing as a MakeMyTrip employee. This unfortunate event underscores the growing sophistication of online scams and the pressing need for increased vigilance and awareness among the general public.
The Deceptive Web Unraveled: A Tale of Financial Loss To safeguard the privacy of the victim, her identity remains confidential. It all began when she received a phone call from an individual who convincingly portrayed themselves as an authentic representative of MakeMyTrip. This imposter skillfully assumed the identity of the renowned travel agency, luring the unsuspecting woman with an enticing investment opportunity.

The scam artist introduced the victim to a supposedly exclusive investment plan within the travel industry, promising sky-high returns and a host of enticing benefits. Vulnerable and trusting in the caller's supposed credentials, the woman found herself ensnared in the elaborate trap, eagerly investing in what she believed to be a promising scheme.
A Tangled Web of Deceit: The Scammer's Tactics The fraudulent scheme was a well-crafted web of deception, filled with a litany of enticing pledges that included lucrative returns on investment and a slew of alluring incentives. The scammer continually manipulated the victim, tirelessly assuring her of the investment plan's authenticity and pressuring her to deposit substantial sums of money.
Motivated by the allure of substantial profits, the victim dutifully transferred over Rs 15 lakh into multiple bank accounts provided by the scammer. Regrettably, as she would soon come to realize, the entire investment plan was nothing more than an elaborate ruse designed to siphon her hard-earned money.
This unfortunate incident serves as a stark reminder of the perils lurking in the digital world, where scammers employ ever more sophisticated tactics to exploit unsuspecting individuals. It underscores the critical importance of staying vigilant, verifying the credentials of unknown callers, and exercising caution when presented with seemingly lucrative offers, even from seemingly reputable sources like MakeMyTrip. Awareness and diligence are our best defenses against such fraudulent schemes in the increasingly complex landscape of online scams.
When the victim of a cunning online scam came to the heartbreaking realization that she had fallen prey to fraudsters, her immediate response was to report the incident to the local authorities. Recognizing the severity of the situation, law enforcement agencies swiftly initiated an investigation to track down the culprits responsible for this deceitful act and ensure they faced the consequences of their actions.
Also Read: Cyber blackmailing case: Shatrughan's bail plea rejected
This distressing episode serves as a stark reminder to the general public, highlighting the critical need for caution and skepticism when encountering financial schemes and investment opportunities, particularly when they originate over the phone or through online platforms. It's incumbent upon individuals to diligently verify the authenticity of any claims and offers, and to refrain from sharing their personal and financial information until they've conducted thorough verification.
Empowering the Public: A Unified Stand Against Scams
In the aftermath of this unfortunate incident, both advocacy groups and law enforcement agencies have intensified their efforts to raise awareness about the omnipresent threat of online scams and fraudulent activities. Educational campaigns are being rolled out, aimed at arming individuals with the knowledge and tools necessary to shield themselves from falling victim to these cunning schemes.
It is imperative for everyone to remain well-informed, vigilant, and cautious when engaging in financial transactions, whether online or offline. By doing so, we can collectively build a robust defense against scams and frauds. Let us unite in our commitment to creating a safer digital environment by fostering awareness and education within our communities. Together, we can work toward a future where individuals are better equipped to protect themselves against the ever-evolving landscape of online deception.

Aww, don't feel down on your comms! Price about 20% more than you think you deserve (and I MEAN that.) It's not scamming people. Think of it like.... they're investing! It's a win-win-win, too! You get money to gain weight, they get a deliciously obese drawing, and you get experience drawing to boot. All you're missing is a portfolio! Do it! You have nothing to lose!
a) that's the thing I don't have a portfolio
b) I'm literally so atrociously bad at drawing fat bodies
c) 20% of $2 USD is like... 10 cents or something idk
I appreciate the support, though, don't get me wrong 😅 I just don't trust my art enough for people to spend their hard earned money on it lol

Hacks for FC 24
Hey there, fellow gamers! I'm Tom, and I completely understand the excitement and passion that drives us to FIFA Ultimate Team. Like many of you, I used to spend a significant chunk of my hard-earned money on FC 24 Ultimate Team, only to be left disappointed by the seemingly useless players I got from packs. It's a feeling many of us can relate to, but today, I want to share a different perspective – one that empowers gamers without resorting to hacks or generators.
Tumblr media
The Temptation of FC 24 Hacks and Coin Generators
Let's be honest, we've all heard about FC 24 hacks and coin generators that promise to shower us with endless coins and points. The allure of these tools is undeniable, especially when we're struggling to build the dream team we've always wanted. I, too, fell into this temptation, but my journey led me to a different path, one that I believe can help many of you out there.
The Dark Side of FC 24 Hacks
Before I delve into the reasons why FC 24 hacks and coin generators might not be the best choice, let's consider some of the risks and ethical concerns associated with them:
Scams Are Abundant: It's no secret that the internet is teeming with scams, especially in the gaming community. Many so-called "coin generators" are nothing more than elaborate scams designed to steal your personal information or even compromise your gaming account.
Violation of Terms of Service: Using hacks and generators is often a violation of the terms of service of the game, and this can result in severe consequences, including permanent bans from the game. Is it worth risking your entire FIFA experience for a few shortcuts?
Undermining the Game's Integrity: FIFA Ultimate Team is built on the premise of competition and strategy. Using hacks or generators takes away the essence of the game, as it reduces the challenge and satisfaction that comes from earning your progress.
Short-Term Gratification, Long-Term Regret: Sure, you might get a quick boost of coins, but what about the long-term? Ultimately, it can lead to boredom and dissatisfaction when there's nothing left to achieve.
Tumblr media
A Better Way: Empowering Gamers Ethically
Now that we've shed light on the darker side of hacks and generators, let's explore a more fulfilling and ethical approach to FIFA Ultimate Team:
Grind and Learn: Instead of relying on shortcuts, embrace the grind. FIFA Ultimate Team is designed to reward players who put in the time and effort. The process of building your dream team, acquiring skills, and learning from your mistakes is what makes it all worthwhile.

FC 24 Cheats and Hacks
Hey fellow gamers! If you've landed on this article, chances are, you're a huge fan of FIFA Ultimate Team, just like I was (and still am). My name is Tom, and like many of you, I was once a 20-year-old who'd tirelessly saved up pocket money, eagerly awaiting the moment I could spend it on those tantalizing FC 24 packs. However, more often than not, I'd find myself disappointed and frustrated with the useless players I'd end up with. Sound familiar? Well, read on, because I stumbled upon the FC 24 coin generator, and it was a total game-changer!
1. The Struggle is Real
We've all been there. Hours of gameplay, honing our skills, building the perfect team in our minds, only to have those dreams dashed by the unpredictable nature of pack openings.
