Remembered that I can post cosplay stuff here lol. I talked a lot about my progress (and frustrations) with making this cosplay here, so it's only natural I share the wonderful photos my friend took for me! This is just one of them, which happens to be my fave of the bunch. <3

This is reaaaalllyy old fan art of mine. I went by a different username back then. It's for a group of small indie games called Submachine 1-10. I loved it so much when they were being released. I don't really use my deviantart account anymore, so I put them on reddit, and now here. Maybe I will make more!

Woah these are sick!

An update for users in Brazil and the United Kingdom

To continue our commitment to user safety and to comply with local laws, we will start using age groups to determine access to certain experiences.

People in Brazil or in the UK, who are 18 or older, will soon need to verify their age to change content label settings and view mature-labeled content. Until then, the settings will be locked to hide.

As a reminder, verification is handled by our age-assurance partner, k-ID. Tumblr won't have access to the information you submit, just the final age-verification result. Documents are deleted after confirmation, and facial scan data never leaves your device. 

Questions? Contact Tumblr support or learn more about these changes here.

[a-kind-of-merry-war]

Shit.

[thecaliginouscastell]

This is a horrible idea due to both the massive data breaches that will inevitably happen and the fact your “potentially mature content” detector does not work and you’ve negected to fix it.

The sheer number of innocent posts that get wrongly marked as mature (including posts with deactivated/deleted OPs who obviously can’t appeal, so they’re just permanently stuck with that label) mean you will be cutting off these users from huge swaths of the site for no actual reason.

Reviews to get the label removed from SFW posts take forever and don’t even reliably work. Hell, the option to request a review straight up broke on one of the posts on this blog. (I’ve tried repeatedly to submit an appeal but it keeps giving me an error message, and sometimes the option to appeal is missing entirely.)

Speaking of reviews, if you implement age verification measures, how are people in Brazil and the UK with incorrectly flagged posts supposed to appeal if they’re going to be prevented from seeing them?

And I can’t speak for Brazil, but the relevant UK legislation is around two and a half years old and fines for breaches started almost one year ago, so why are you choosing to do this now?

Why are you so determined to kill your site?

@changes

[thecaliginouscastell]

Genuinely, what is your excuse for this? How are you going to fix this? @changes

[ID: First image is a reblog in my drafts, hidden due to potentially mature content. Second image is the same draft, revealed to be a gifset of two fully clothed Final Fantasy characters sitting in a bar. End ID.]

[violeterror404]

Can we be off the age verification bs by now. Surely at least one person has considered the security risks.

I don't live there but I dread the future of everyone who has to deal that

Nasty and sophisticated scam: BEWARE of this!

That "Pending PayPal Charge" Email Is a Scam — Even Though It Really Came From PayPal

If an email recently landed in your inbox with a subject line like "Pending charge of USD 987.90 for account activation. Questions? Call 855

Don’t get caught off guard by this. It’s quite a slick one.

[kerryweaverlesbian]

What to actually do If you get one of these, the answer is boring and it works every time: Don't call the number. Don't reply. Don't click links in the email — not even the unsubscribe link. Open a fresh browser tab, type paypal.com yourself, and log into your account. Check your activity. You'll see either nothing, or a tiny incoming payment from a stranger that you can ignore. Then forward the original email as an attachment to [email protected] and delete it. If you want to go a step further, report the phone number to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov — every report makes it slightly harder for these operations to keep running. And if you've already called? Don't beat yourself up — these scams are designed by professionals to fool smart people. Hang up, run a malware scan if you installed anything they asked you to install, change your PayPal and bank passwords from a different device, and call your bank's real fraud line (the number on the back of your card) to flag your accounts. Move fast, but you don't need to panic.

from the above linked article. For the UK the email to forward phishing scams to is [email protected], texts can be forwarded on to 7726 (for free!) and as a victim of fraud you can report it here (or here for Scotland)

[comicgeekscomicgeek]

— If an email recently landed in your inbox with a subject line like "Pending charge of USD 987.90 for account activation. Questions? Call [phone]" — don't call that number. Don't click anything. And whatever you do, don't panic-dial to "stop the charge."

You're being targeted by one of the cleverest scams going right now, and the reason it works is uncomfortable: the email genuinely came from PayPal.

The trick is in the subject line, not the email

When most people think "phishing email," they picture sketchy senders, broken English, and links to weird domains. This scam is the opposite. The email passes every authenticity check — SPF, DKIM, DMARC, all green. It comes from PayPal's actual mail servers. The fonts are right. The footer is right. The unsubscribe link works. If you forwarded it to a security expert and asked "is this really from PayPal?" they'd have to say yes.

So how is it a scam?

Scammers have figured out that PayPal lets anyone send small amounts of money to anyone else, and that PayPal will dutifully email the recipient a notification. The scammer sends you a payout of, say, one Hungarian forint — about a quarter of a cent. PayPal's system then automatically generates and sends you a real, legitimate, fully-authenticated email confirming the transaction.

Here's the catch: the email's subject line is whatever the scammer typed when they set up the payout. PayPal doesn't sanitize it. So they write something terrifying like "Pending charge of USD 987.90 — call this number with questions" and PayPal's servers cheerfully deliver that subject line straight to your inbox, wrapped in a perfectly legitimate-looking notification.

The actual transaction in the email body is for 1 forint. There is no $987.90 charge. There never was. But by the time most people read carefully enough to notice that, they've already dialed the number. —

As someone who can’t decorate a million details in tomodachi life, I found the idea of trying to recreate one of the Zones for my OFF Miis intresting. My island isn’t entirely OFF themed, so no four Zones. This also makes my rendition not one to one scale. I suppose it’s inspired. Trying to see how the shape in concept works, gonna edit some more of it.

I don’t go on Tumblr often but if someone else makes the Zones in the game lmk.

Side note, I AM SO SAD THERES NO ROLLER COASTER LIKE IN THE 3DS GAME.

[magpiemirroring]

one thing I want to point out VBS files.

that's not a normal file type for references.

for a written document you are looking for DOC or DOCX probably. maybe TXT. PAGES if it's from a mac. and a lot of my text files are ODT because I use libreoffice, lmao. (generally I will convert my files into DOCX for folks)

for pictures, you are likely to see JPEG/JPG, PNG, TIFF or maybe GIF.

And of course PDF, the tumblr of file types. (joke, but also, yes, you might see a PDF)

VBS stands for Visual Basic Script. It is a file type for code that could run on a Windows computer. You do not want to open/run this kind of file unless you know what it is and trust who sent it to you. There is NO reason to send references as a VBS file.

Please learn to recognize common file types and look at the file type of files you are being sent. If you don't recognize the file type, google it.

caveat: I am an artist, not a computer person, so I may have missed a common file type or not explained a computer thing 100% correctly. I just wanted to spell out in as much detail as I could a bit of a helpful hint for internet safety!

[violeterror404]

This!!!

It's also good to note that these file types are risky:

EXE (one of the most well known for being potentially harmful - executes on launch)

sh (shell script - normally won't execute when opened)

bat (batch - will execute when opened)

VBS (executes when opened)

cmd (commands - executes when opened)

JS (JavaScript - won't execute when opened)

MSI (installer)

ISO (unless your doing something related disc backups, etc, you'll probably not need to open this type. I'm not that familiar with this type)

Docx - Microsoft word doc, they can actually contain harmful macros

PDF (can contain malware)
