🍄 Shrumbo from Ooblets 🍄
Ooblets is my go-to comfort game. While Shrumbo isn't my starter Ooblet, I wanted to felt one because they're just so cute!
The last pic is my cursed first attempt 👻
A shrumbo! (from the game Ooblets)
2 days ago: I tried to change my name on the Epic launcher to something I could give folks to add me as a friend so we can do multiplayer on this week's free rhythm game.
Yesterday: Got an email from Epic support saying my username had violated their terms of service and been replaced with a randomized string of letters and numbers and that I had to change it to something else. Confused, I decided to not worry about it and just pick a different username, but it told me I couldn't change my username again for 2 weeks. Confused and frustrated, I wrote to support asking What The Heck.
Today: Got another email from Epic support saying my appeal had been reviewed and denied. My username had been found to violate the terms of service and I would have the chance to change it again in two weeks.
I wrote them back asking what, exactly, had violated the terms of service about the username SecretShrumbies. Is it some slang term I'm not aware of? Do they think I'm making a drug reference, if so, does that mean they do not allow any usernames that reference any sort of fungal life forms because they could maybe, just maybe, be making an extremely obscure drug reference? I pointed out that I'd based the username off of Shrumbo, a mushroom-shaped little friend from the extremely wholesome family-friendly game Ooblets - which was an Epic exclusive when it first came out!
So far, no response. I've asked around to see if anyone has any idea what's wrong with the username and the only suggestions have been "maybe they think you meant drugs somehow?" and "I bet they have a fucking AI bot scanning this shit and some fucking LLM decided that some combination of those letters meant something bad, and they never bothered having a real life actual human being look at it," and honestly, that's fucking horrifying and probably correct.
I almost wish I was still on Twitter so I could kick up a big public stink about it and maybe get them to fix it, but a stupid username I made up on the spot is not worth going back to that place.
I'm just... What the actual fuck kind of world do we live in at this point? There's no way to talk to a human being anymore. The fucking algorithms have decided what words we're allowed to say forever, based on their puritan advertiser-friendly insanity, we don't own anything, and you can never, ever just speak to a fucking human being anymore.
I made all these teeny ooblets plushies back when the game was still in early access, and today it's out on steam!!! I never took very good pictures of most of these guys and decided to celebrate today by giving them a lil fall photoshoot hehe. And also the gubwee I made on commission, who isn't in the house for me to take better pics of. Also I know I took a commission for a Tud at some point but for the life of me I can't find photo evidence of him???
Anyway, getting these lil lads together for these pics is giving me a hanker to make some more...
