Bazzoka Does Whatever

Whatever I feel like putting up. I may or may not put up when I stream. :V

[fischotterkunst]

yall look at this shit ad*be is tryna pull now on ppl who have outdated software:

(note for context: i’m all for piracy, but in this case my copy of CS6 was downloaded years ago when they were giving it away to students. i got it totally legally.)

[fischotterkunst]

so here is what NOT to do if you’re a loyal fan of adobe who has the cash to shell out for a newer and shittier version of the product you already paid for.

1) DON’T use your search bar to find and open the Run app

2) DON’T type in services.msc

3) DON’T find Adobe Genuine Software Integrity Services and right-click to get a dropdown menu, and don’t select ‘properties’

4) if you happen to click properties, DON’T use the startup type dropdown to locate the option to disable the program. be sure you DON’T click apply to finalize that change. 

5) DO NOT do the same thing in order to also disable Adobe Genuine Software Monitor 

if you do all of these things, this WILL disable adobe’s ability to monitor the software, and you will be forced to continue using the same older software that you already paid for instead of having to sign up for a newer, shittier version and pay more for it. so if you have lots of cash to spare and are cool with putting it the pockets of racketeering capitalists, definitely don’t do any of these things. 

however, you SHOULD reblog this to spread the word, as we certainly want to make sure lots of people know what NOT to do :)

[hideousgourd]

I’M SORRY MA'AM. I KNOW YOU’RE UPSET.

Pretend to be upset.

[june-egbert-official]

OP how could you

I hope none of my friends who use Adobe programs find this, follow your detailed instructions, and spread the word. That would be devastating!

me as a writer: Oh no I can’t write that, somebody else already has

me as a reader: hell yes give me all the fics about this one scenario. The more the merrier

[obsessivewriter]

This one is so hard to accept. Reblogging to knock that into my brain.

[primarybufferpanel]

Me as a writer: I feel like I’m repeating myself, I’ve already used that theme, I’ve already written that kink, that other character uses that speech pattern so this one in another fandom can’t, I feel like I’m writing predictable things, is this different enough from that other thing I wrote, are people filling out bingo cards by my work? :sobbing:

Me as a reader: oh hell yeah this hit the spot exactly, I hope this writer has written 20 more just like it

[deelaundry]

As one friend said when I felt I was reusing a theme too much, nobody ever says, Did Agatha Christie write about murder again?

[bazzoka-bazz]

And here’s the other 6. Again, overall, not too bad. At least easier than the first session somehow. God Tier Tune made use of a lot of double slide notes. I actually first tried Monochromatic Blue Sky.

[bazzoka-bazz]

Second stream session of getting perfects on Extreme. Slit into two post ‘cause tumblr’s picture post limit and I don’t want to slap them in the text part.

Once again I forgot to screenshot during the stream itself so this is me going back to these and getting another perfect. That’s fine ‘cause these songs mostly didn’t give me issues. Gigantic Girl was the only one to give me lots of problems (with double notes of course) so I had to step into practice mode to figure it out. I’m so glad practice mode is a thing.

[bazzoka-bazz]

From my first stream session of getting perfects in Extreme. I actually forgot to take screenshots on stream so I did it again off stream but for the most time I cared even less about doing hold notes. I may not care about holds in later perfects ‘cause man they make everything unnecessarily harder for score/percentage clear which I don’t really care about.

The Secret Garden, Yellow, Tell Your World and Aikotoba were relatively easy. Cantarella, Clover Club and Deep Sea City Undergound already gave me issues. The multi notes are screwing with me, especially when they just string a bunch of double-multi notes in a row. Triple-multi notes also give me trouble if the BPM is too fast. I just can’t read them well. Also multi notes have no impact when you hit them. They sound like every other note and that’s kinda boring. I really miss the double and old hold notes but maybe I just need more time to get use to them.

Friendly reminder that hating Pokemon Unite isn't just about ""no Sinnoh remakes or no let's Go Johto"".

Fucking Tencent is the one making it.

Tencent is known for spyware, punishes those who support the Hong Kong protests, are KNOWN to rip off larger companies or buy out larger companies if they're seen as competition, are extremely rampant with censorship of any kind, and were receiving personal information from Apple such as I.P Addresses, and the CEO is extremely honored by the communist party that supports Muslim concentration camps.

This company is absolutely fucking garbage and it's pretty obvious from the comment section of the video that everyone who knows about Tencent is chiming in with them dipping the moment they announced it was made by them.

And if that's not enough to stop you from wanting to play tencent has driven many players who actually did enjoy their games away due to the rampant cheating that occurs and isn't dealt with in their other online games. They're known to try and milk their gamers for money with pay to win deals and from the sounds of it ""free to start"" means you'll have to pay eventually no matter what and then continue to keep paying in order to succeed or advance in later levels due to the pay to win structure.

For those who are excited about this there are LITERALLY so many other games on this oversaturated market that spent time on their back grounds, and textures, and design that dont make them look like a dollar store rip off game. Please look into literally anything else.

Pokemon Unite is NOT the way to go

I'm sure that people in the videos comments did a MUCH better job of explaining the dangers of tencent instead of me and theyre most likely a lot more well aware of the first hand experience with them. But please just take my word for it when I say that the ""unfair hate around this game because it's not a Sinnoh Remake"" is bullshit.

There's hate for a reason

[crabbybce]

I’ll admit I was skeptical of these points bc there are no links or resources to back em up, so I did a little research.

So Tencent is a ridiculously large conglomerate holding company whose investments in video games ALONE pile up fast:

(Outside of video games, Tencent also invests in “search engine[s], e-commerce, retail, real estate, software, virtual reality, ride-sharing, banking, financial services, fintech, consumer technology, computer technology, automobile, film production, movie ticketing, music production, space technology, natural resources, smartphones, big data, agriculture, medical services, cloud computing, social media, IT, advertising, streaming media, artificial intelligence, robotics, UAVs, food delivery, courier services, e-book, internet services, education, and renewable energy.” Needless to say, the company has a LOT of influence and power.)

Regarding OP’s mention of the Hong Kong protests -- Tencent made a partnership with the NBA to secure rights to stream its U.S. games in China, but in October 2019, when Houston Rockets general manager Morey expressed support for the protesters in Hong Kong, “Tencent began sending out refunds to customers after cancelling the broadcast of NBA games" due to NBA executive manager Adam Silver’s support of Morey’s “freedom of political expression.” (x) 

Regarding OP’s mention of censorship -- oh boy there’s a lot of info that proves their rampant censorship. Most notably, Tencent owns the social media app WeChat (which has “a billion active daily users”) and uses it to facilitate Chinese government surveillance and censorship. Millions of WeChat conversations were found to be relayed to police; people have been interrogated and arrested due to their private conversations. (There have been ”penalties against numerous WeChat users for mocking President Xi Jinping, criticizing judicial officials, commenting on massive floods, sharing information about human rights abuses, or expressing views related to their persecuted religion or ethnicity.”) Also, WeChat SIGNIFICANTLY distorts the news available to its users by using AI to find and delete select topics (including in 2018, the “deletions from some 4,000 public accounts...[of] major news stories like the U.S.-China trade dispute, the arrest in Canada of Huawei chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou, the #MeToo movement and public health scandals”). (x)

Regarding OP’s mention of ripping off other companies -- Tencent’s founder and chairman, Pony Ma, has famously said, “[To] copy is not evil.” There are plenty of allegations and remarks out there about his inclination toward copying.

Regarding OP’s mention of Apple -- at least in iOS 13, Apple’s “Safari browser uses Tencent’s Safe Browsing system to help fight malicious webpages--but Tencent may log IP addresses in the process.” Apple’s also had many issues with surveillance and censorship in China. (x)

Regarding OP’s mention of Tencent’s money-grabbing -- their popular technique of gaining revenue from games is to publish “free-to-play” games, such as Pokemon Unite, and then include in-game transactions so people will pay *after* having gotten into the swing of the game.

TL;DR: Tencent is a despicable company whose hand in a Pokemon game should be a red flag. Don’t support this company.

Y-you are an absolute godsend

I didn't expect this post to blow up like it did, but that's probably a poor excuse for no links

Thank you so much for taking the time to find sources 🥺🥺🥺

A rare instance of me putting a stream notification here. I’m streaming Project Diva Mega Mix to get perfects on extreme difficulty, starting from lowest stars to highest.

[bazzoka-bazz]

It’s been a while since I put up a screenshot of a Project Diva game. I’ve gotten perfects on Easy, Normal and Hard. Ignore the couple of clears in Extreme and Extra Extreme. Sometime down the line I’ll stream this game and go for Extreme perfects.

[bcdrawsandwrites]

Please reblog, don’t repost!

Commission for @netbug009​! She wanted a Polteageist scaring a barista.

At first I googled “Pokemon barista,” trying to remember if there were ones that showed up in canon, only to find screenshots from the movie! I’d totally forgotten it had featured a Ludicolo barista, so I decided to use her for this little comic.

Ludicolo are normally quite energetic, but I imagine this one wore herself out the night prior, and is just starting her shift. A customer asks for tea, and she’s not awake enough to notice that a new Pokemon has decided to nap on the counter…

This was fun to draw! Hope you like! :D

Maaaan, where were all these White folks during the past 8 years that Black Lives Matter has been protesting? Because, honestly, this shit is irritating and infuriating. 

Why do you care now?? What took you so fucking long to give a shit about us?? What have y’all been doing while we’ve been suffering at the hands of cops and your people? What have y’all been doing while we’ve been getting gunned down in broad daylight? What have y’all been doing while we’ve been fighting, crying, mourning, and dying for our people? WHERE 👏🏾 THE 👏🏾 FUCK  👏🏾 HAVE 👏🏾 Y'ALL 👏🏾 BEEN?!?! 👏🏾

Some of y'all only give a shit about looking “woke” and “progressive” to Black folks and your White counterparts, and it shows. Y'all need to cut that shit the fuck out. You only hurt our cause when you show your ass like this. Allyship is not allyship when it’s performative, and even if you’re an “ally,” you’re still an oppressor. And y'all need to realize that. 

We don’t want another George Floyd. We don’t want another Tony McDade. We don’t want another Ahmaud Arbery. We don’t want another Breonna Taylor. We don’t want another Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Sandra Bland, Tamir Rice, Philando Castile, Rekia Boyd, Eric Garner, Freddie Gray, Natasha McKenna, Samuel DuBose, Alton Sterling, Aiyana Jones, Laquan McDonald, Jocques Clemmons, Deborah Danner, Terence Crutcher…. We want justice. We want change. We want a future for ourselves and our children. We want to be able to exist without fear, without pain, and without our lives constantly being threatened. And we want y’all to do your part and work to dismantle the system that was created to harm us.

We are so tired of Whites sitting around doing nothing while our people are dying. Sharing posts in support of us and the movement is not enough. Signing a petition or two is not enough. We need y’all to call out your White counterparts for their racism and work on your own racial biases as well. We need y’all to listen to us when we talk about the injustices we face and learn from it. We need y’all to listen to and uplift our voices. And we really need y’all to be actively engaged in destroying everything that works to destroy us. 

Do better, dammit, or don’t bother getting involved in our movement at all.

[crawling-towards--the-sun]

If you’re White, you should reblog this.

Cops murdered a black girl in Toronto this week too but Canadians are too up their own asses about how we’re “Not the racist ones! That’s only America! We’re the nice ones :)” to acknowledge it or do anything about it

[mooonbride]

Cops in Canada are just as racist and evil please Canada wake the fuck up

[honeybite]

Her name was Regis Korchinski-Paquet, she was a 29 year old Afro-Indigenous woman. She was pushed off of her own balcony by the Toronto police and fell to her death. They are reporting it as a suicide.

Say her name. Do not let them cover this up.

If you are able, you can donate to her family’s legal and memorial fund here.

And here is a google doc with contact information for the local representatives with a template email/phone script.

[bazzoka-bazz]

oh yea I usually post Project Diva shenanigans here don’t I? WELL I got Mega Mix, and got through all the songs on easy already and am currently working my way through normal. Gotta say the number of songs is making this feel like a slog but it’ll be great once I really get into hard and extreme and extra extreme.

I’ve actually streamed it a little, first getting perfects on half of the easy songs and then also doing like 6 hard songs. For the sake of streaming I’m not stopping myself from doing the harder difficulties since normal and easy are far too easy. On the flip side, the harder extreme songs might be an issue for me since this is the first time I’ve had to deal with these multi-notes and also the slide notes are kinda weird too. I’ll adjust in time but I’m still more use to regular doubles and star notes.
