General Chat

Following a change in the thread's title, DerVVulfman discovered another article describing ADOBE'S HEADACHES. For this week, the U.S. has now filed a lawsuit against Adobe for deceptive practices such as concealing extra fees behind hidden urls, and made it near impossible to cancel subscriptions.

If you like sports competitions, DerVVulfman discovered what is apparently the last backyard competition by former NASA engineer, Mark Rober. Asking him What are YouTubing? would unveil the third Backyard Squirrel Games, this time revealed as a competition in true Olympiad fashion.

National Integrity is on the mind of many nations in this week's News of the World, whether U.K. is struggling with illegals crossing the English Channel, Islamic Terrorists posing as Ukrainian refugees with some arrested in Germany, and the U.S. southern border being flooded with China-made illegal drugs. Elections also hit this week's news, France's Clémentine Autain made a call for violence against conservative opposition while a report showing that the same illegal aliens crossing the U.S. border given access to voter registration by the Biden Administration. China is crossing many lines, now having committed acts of piracy within Philippines’ territorial waters which was caught on camera. And for its support of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, NATO's chief suggests consequences for fueling the largest armed conflict in Europe since World War II. Meanwhile, Putin leveled threats against South Korea for giving aid to Ukraine and hypocritically blamed the U.S. and Ukraine for strikes in civilian territories despite their months-long missile and drone attacks into Kyiv and other occupied cities. Recent hearings on Covid Origins unearth documents of Fauci colleagues refuting the 'naturally occuring' theory pushed in 2020, U.N. Nuclear Watchdogs reporting that Obama's Iran Nuclear Deal is being wholly ignored, the Vatican levies charges a U.S. ArchBishop whom accused the Pope of reinstating a Cardinal known for serial sex abuse, and the death of famed actor Donald Sutherland hit this week's news.

Development Discussion

Battles with System Tools and System Analysts were What's up among our RMers this week, as a program cleaning tool almost spelled disaster for Steel Beast 6Beets. But following the good news that everything was safe and Steel's was able to restore everything. Following his success, Remi-chan announced victory in her endeavor to finish her menu system; and in celebration presented revised video of her game-project's battle with the powerful administrator of her game's universe, and later screenshots. Steel Beast was impressed and queried about the HP bar mechanism, which DerVVulfman answered while wishing Steel a happy birthday, and noted that the battle's ferocity may be nothing compared to what comes later.

Music and Audio

If your game has underground monsters, science-fiction baddies, or anything with a late 80's vibe, be sure to check out what Eric Matyas is composing. Still Sharing His Original Music, he posted that "Sewer Creepers Down the Line" is his latest piece, but totally neglected his second work entitled "Grumpy Slimeball from Outer Space". But do remember, he does take commissions.

Art and Design

Last week, it was merely pencilwork. But this week, you can venture into Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing and bare witness to the sheepishly cute maiden now brought to life. Entitled 'The Lost Lamb of Eden', it comes with a quote and the traditional speed-draw that reveals Remi's pacing.

Well, that's it for this week.
