@carnybytes Timeline of course gives me the final page immediately after I throw my theory into the second aksjdhsks

@carnybytes Hear me out (Ch.4 Spoilers), but I think Susie might be Terezi? Effectively absent guardian, explicit ties to Dragon and Justice, plus the multiple references to eyes burning, the song track, and "- lit up in your eyes... Burnin' bright. Burnin' black. Burnin' up everything."

Let me tell you about the time Sony put malware on 22 million music CDs.

Sony the corporation, on purpose.

2005. you buy a CD at a music store. you get home. you put it in your computer. Windows autorun kicks in.

Sony's software silently installs a rootkit on your system. It hides itself using the same techniques professional malware uses to evade detection. it runs constantly in the background. it phones home to Sony with information about what you're listening to.

and it cannot be uninstalled.

The removal tool Sony eventually released to fix it required your email address and installed additional software that introduced further vulnerabilities. the fix was worse than the rootkit.

A security researcher named Mark Russinovich found it on Halloween 2005. published his findings. the internet erupted.

Sony's President of Global Digital Business responded: "most people don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?"

things then got worse:
other malware authors discovered that anything hidden using Sony's rootkit technique became invisible to antivirus software too. they started hiding their own malware inside the same hidden directory. Sony had accidentally created the perfect malware concealment system and shipped it to 22 million people.

50 artists had CDs with the rootkit. Celine Dion. Neil Diamond. Santana. none of them knew.

Van Zant's album that started the whole investigation ranked 887 on Amazon. after reviews warned about the rootkit it dropped to 25,802 in three weeks.

Sony recalled the CDs. settled with the FTC. paid millions. Mark Russinovich became CTO of Microsoft Azure.

the rootkit is the reason we now consider autorun a security risk.

Sony shipped malware to protect music.

the malware protected nothing.

the music got pirated anyway.

@MoniqueMonsters Something about this reminds me of early Adult Swim and Boomerang ad blocs 🤔 Fun and eerie, looking forward to seeing the full concept!

@BonBunFilms The longest shot ever taken, but with how you're hyping it I can't help imagining a collab with @/Ducky_Szymanski

@Prowl8413 That all sounds like solid ways to make them feel more lively! My brain's been spinning on the recruitable NPC ideas, downtime interactions. The idea of recruits who'll give a baseline schematic of a home space/crafting area, which they'll move into and teach from if it's built.

genuinely cannot believe that the Diarrhea Forever meme turned out to be completely literal. this political era simply cannot be parodied or satirized. the stupidest thing you can think of can and will happen.

TRUMP DIARRHEA OUTBREAK: Cyclosporiasis cases are surging now across 40+ states, a severe diarrhea outbreak linked to contaminated produce. Reports indicate Trump admin CDC changes made Cyclospora surveillance optional and restructured the parasitic diseases division.

They killed our pensions and floated it as your responsibility in the form of a 401k. They gutted unions who fought them to secure more rights for workers. They consolidated power and hoarded all the wealth just to call you lazy for thinking you deserve better.

@commanderfreddy I'm fully hoping we'll see a Dark World here only to find out these Santas and everything else in the house HATES Kris' guts for being such a hellion back the day

[Chris Alvino @ChrisAlvino]

The worst part about this outbreak is that, bc every news agency is owned by corporate billionaires, not a SINGLE ONE has the courage to link this outbreak to Trump and his dismantling of our food safety protections. So the general public just assumes this is business as usual.

Jaylen Brown says he used the NBA Players Association instead of hiring an agent for the NBA Draft because they're paid to help players

“When I entered the draft, I didn't have an agent. I'm probably the highest picked selected ever that didn't enter with an agent. When I was evaluating, I went through the whole process and sat with a bunch of people, and what they was offering I ain't really need. It was kind of already slotted, so I leaned on the union a lot more”

“A lot of the agents came and was like, ‘Yeah, we'll move you to L.A. We'll get you a trainer, put some money in your pocket,’ and I was like, ‘For what? Do I gotta give the money back?’ They was like, ‘Nah, but standard agent fee is 4%.’ I'm starting to do the math, and a house, car, and all that, whatever he was offering, is a lot less than what 4% would have been”

“Long story short, the math wasn't mathing for me. I ended up being the third pick. I think because I came in like that, a lot of people, I think it was the agents, they tried to slander my name a little bit, put it in the media that he's too this, he's too that. Ended up backfiring. It all worked out in the end”

“With the union, we pay dues. All the players in the NBA pay dues. We all pay like $10,000 out of our salary that goes to hiring lawyers, hiring staff, CEO, everything that you need to lead a company that works for us. So all of that is our resources that we all pay for, that we agree to. Once I learned that, I just started using it”

“I'm talking about you can get private investigations done. They give referrals for financial advisors. All type of stuff. Foundation wise, health insurance, whatever you need. They have a liaison that's paid to make sure that you get it done. So I put it on their desk like, ‘I need you to get this done.’ And they do because that's their job”

@sorenthemighty @SilverChelly That I can't give anything concrete on, but figure it's just a swap between Casual and Combat modes. A Heroine doesn't need to stay transformed 24/7, so like the Mikes chilling as themselves backstage, maybe this is just a more comfy outfit to swap into when it's not showtime.

[TheLightorTheDark 🐀🐁 🍉 @TLightorTDark]

@sorenthemighty @SilverChelly Consider we've had characters change appearance before, though? Spamton versus his poster and the Werewires transforming from other NPCs, K.Round starts off as a regular checker piece, the Mikes, Mizzles.. there's loads of transformations, it checks out a Magical Girl gets one.

More reports why Sony is trying to end physical discs:

- They want to cut out the middle man, to make more profit per sale (like remove walmart cuts etc)
- Sony thinks the fanbase will not switch platforms, they can do what they please without losing fans
- They are convinced by ignoring this issue, they fans will just accept the changes and convert to 100% digital with time.
- Sony thinks they are "too big to have commination with fans". Talking to fans has no margin benefit, so they refuse to address fans and will keep doing so

I have lost all trust and goodwill with PlayStation, no words what is happening right now. Horrible company

[retro_tech_usa @usa_retro]

Imagine being a gamer that survived a serious health episode, like a 3 year coma only to have Playstation delete your account. Or let's say you donate a few years to the peace corps & forget to tell your mom to login to you PS account. This company sucks yall.
