[ IMG READS: 'Microsoft killed my online life,' Microsoft is reportedly banning Palestinians in the U.S. for life for calling relatives in Gaza.
A BBC investigation reveals that Microsoft is permanently banning Palestinians in the U.S. and other countries who use Skype to call relatives in Gaza. /END OF IMAGE]
On a separate note, I think it's worth posting this article as well titled Microsoft killed my online life after I called Gaza.

For all of the girlies out there! Happy pride!
There is still hope. Say it out loud. Palestine will be free. The Palestinian people will celebrate their culture and heritage with each other. We will love and be loved. Do not fall into the trap of despair.
I'm not saying this just for morale. I'm saying this as a reminder that the colonialist regime relies on your despair, uses it to further their propaganda. Once you lose hope, and tell everyone you lose hope, you are aiding the Zionist Entity.
Make it a point that you BELIEVE that Palestine will be free even in the face of genocide. Hope can halt genocide. Do not aid our oppressors.

Transcript: Vimm's Lair has been asked to remove many games from The Vault on behalf of Nintendo, Sega, Lego, and the ESA. While most of these games (and the hardware to play them) haven't been sold in decades, ultimately it's their prerogative so these games are now gone for good.
This was posted on the home page of Vimm's Lair today (June 6th, 2024) a huge loss for game preservation
To give a sense of scale for how many games this has affected, here's the previous post by Vimm from June 5th, 2024:
Two new requests arrived from opsecsecurity.com today. One on behalf of Sega Corporation requesting the removal of 188 games. The other is on behalf of the Entertainment Software Association requesting removal of 3114 games. The requested downloads have been removed.
There was (hopeful) speculation by Vimm's Lair users that these requests were made by copyright trolls, i.e., people sending in spoofed takedown requests to make a webmaster panic and/or remove a bunch of files, wasting everyone's time. As trolls do. Back in April of this year, Garry's Mod had a similar takedown request by Nintendo to remove 20 years of content in Garry's Mod that was based on Nintendo IPs [source: tomshardware.com]. Vimm reached out to Garry about the Vimm.net takedowns and confirmed that they were coming from the same people that had requested the very real takedowns for the Garry's Mod content.
From Vimm's May 25th, 2024 Vimm.net update on the first round of takedowns sent:
1. mm-nintendo.com is a fake domain that's not owned nor operated by Nintendo. Corporations contract out services all the time. That doesn't make them any less real. mm-nintendo.com is registered by MarkMonitor, a known brand protection company. The operator claims to represent Nintendo of America and Garry's Mod can attest they do.
In that same message board post, Vimm also proposed that these takedowns were very likely sourced by using an AI to find images of Nintendo IPs with which it then generated the takedown request since Nintendo uses opsecsecurity.com for their email, who offers "Protecting Online Brand Identity and Reputation" as one of their services. On opsecsecurity's page for this is listed such an AI tool:
Visual Artificial Intelligence (AI) to spot more forms of infringement. Infringements often manifest in online brand logos, trademarked text, and product imagery. Our platform uses Visual AI to focus on these visual aspects of branding and related media. By augmenting text-based detection, Visual AI is not restricted by channel, and also mitigates emerging threats. Visual AI organizes potential infringements by indicators found in the image for efficiency and enforcement at scale.
I'm adding this information because people were getting pissed at Twitter/Tiktok users for talking about Vimm's Lair—bringing traffic and publicity to the site—which has gotten archival and piracy sites or emulation tools taken down before. This may have contributed to it, but Nintendo and Sega were going to find these eventually anyway.
While it's deeply upsetting to see such a respected archival site as Vimm's get slapped by the Nintendo Hammer, we need to use this as a reminder that the internet is an ephemeral place; if you find something online that you enjoy, DOWNLOAD IT and make backups. The deleted Vimm's Lair files will live on within the servers of other ROM/ISO websites, but they will only survive if people save them, make copies, make backups of their copies, and continue to share these files. Do not rely solely on cloud services.
Repost, reupload, rehost.
A bad hair day all day, every day.
more wip from a short elster vs sybil anim i'm working on. song is TOXICC by CRIMEWAVE, characters are from Signalis and Pseudoregalia respectively
ive had a few people ask why these two would be fighting. in the real world, the answer is that i'm simply bashing my action figures together and smiling and clapping. in the fiction the answer is, of course, foreplay. happy pride month!
