....I haven't even opened the box yet, imagine if there's something wrong with the item and I have to send it back in this
i've always had trouble fleshing out my fursona's design & i think a big part of it is because i don't have a great visual imagination
what would be really great is like a video game character creator but for fursonas so i could see a visual representation while i mess around with features and sliders and colours until i land on something i like... and then i could send that to artists as a reference
if someone made that i would definitely subscribe to your patreon or whatever
oh wait that's what happened! so i'm still good actually!
nothing quite like the relief of finding out i don't have to do shit
The world's leading expert on European wasps walks into a record shop.
He asks the assistant “Do you have ‘European Vespidae Acoustics Volume 2? I believe it was released this week.”
“Certainly,” replies the assistant. “Would you like to listen before you buy it?”
"That would be wonderful," says the expert, and puts on a pair of headphones.
He listens for a few moments and says to the assistant, “I'm terribly sorry, but I am the world's leading expert on European wasps and this is not accurate at all. I don't recognize any of those sounds. Are you sure this is the correct recording?”
The assistant checks the turntable, and replies that it is indeed European Vespidae Acoustics Volume 2. The assistant apologizes and lifts the needle onto the next track.
Again the expert listens for a few moments and then says to the assistant, "No, this just can't be right! I've been an expert in this field for 43 years and I still don't recognize any of these sounds."
The assistant apologizes again and lifts the needle to the next track.
The expert throws off the headphones as soon as it starts playing and is fuming with rage.
"This is outrageous false advertising! I am the world's leading expert on European wasps and no European wasp has ever made a sound like the ones on this record!"
The manager of the shop overhears the commotion and walks over.
"What seems to be the problem, sir?"
"This is an outrage! I am the world's leading expert on European wasps. Nobody knows more about them than I do. There is no way in hell that the sounds on that record were made by European wasps!"
The manager glances down and notices the problem instantly.
"I'm terribly sorry, sir. It appears we've been playing you the bee side."

tbh i would name something "http arse" completely intentionally, given the opportunity
Anyway sorry I've been dumping my thoughts about this case into this thread over the course of like 24 hours now. It will happen again
It would probably be useful if I'd posted this on Twitter where there's a whole load of hyperbole going round about this case and not much sober analysis but I also can't be fucked to deal with the responses I'd get on there so I'm not going to
I do think there's a fair chance if Yuzu had required decrypted ROMs they would've figured out some other grounds to attack it though. So I couldn't say another Switch / Switch 2 emu would be safe in the US if it had no decryption functionality. But as things stand I do think non-current-platform emulators are generally not at risk
Also the Patreon had nothing to do with it
Their case primarily hinged on their characterisation of Yuzu as a "circumvention device" by virtue of the fact that it decrypts Switch games at runtime as a core part of its functionality. This is not really a common factor for most older system emulators which either play games that were never encrypted in the first place, or require pre-decrypted ROMs (as Citra does). So I don't believe this case would've affected the standing of emulation in general even if it went to trial and they won
