323 - The End Is Nigh.
Hello there, dear bros. Welcome to another Monday Post. So anyway, Crisisbeat contacted me few days ago. Apparently his Patreon account got nuked. He can't even login anymore. I don't know all the details, but this seems very familiar. Back in my day corporations would at least suspend your account if there was an infraction. These days you can wake up one day and find out that your source of income got canceled, your payment processor has "indefinitely froze all your money", your bank put your account on hold until further notice, your email provider wants to know your phone number, your streaming service decided you are not worthy of their services anymore and all those games you bought online are not accessible, because you were only renting them apparently. Welcome to the future you sniveling worm. Own nothing and be happy.
Am I next? (I mean will Patreon delete my account next?) I don't think so. After all I didn't release any new content for the almost three (fucking) years now. That alone should keep my account here safe. But you never know of course. And after QT is released we all should expect the unexpected I think. But just in case, don't forget that I have a mirror account at subscribestar.adult/akabur
To other news. I picked up an Aladdin coloring book at the local bookstore for reference. And one of the illustrations just made me laugh so hard. I mean just look at it. Jasmine looks a bandit gang leader. What a girl-boss! Modern Disney is such a joke. At this point my version of Jasmine is literally closer to the canon than all this modern nonsense.
The work. Las week was spent on working on art assets. I have quite a few placeholder drawings in the game so that is what I am working on right now. For more details make sure to check on this week's EXTRA!! post. ^_ ^ Later bros, and thank you for your support.

just reading this at the moment with the current legal battle between Australia's e-saftey comissioner (nothing to do with safety) and X over free speech. Of course now all the media pushes the government line so they can look again at censorship laws and I'm saddened and disapointed. Sadly Australia where I'm from is often used as a testing ground for both companies and US government ideas. our e-safety comissioner is American and you can be sure the recent going on is a test case for future censorship moves in both countries.
The Disney movie, to me, is just a really weird Sim Room update.
Well said.
Ngl, I am not even "that" old but the way world is turning makes my heart ache. When I was a kid I always imagined what amazing things we could do with the technology and it seems humanity decided to literally do the worst things imaginable. Remember when Internet was a place for passionate people and creativity? Without the current constant restrictions that are everywhere to repress? Good times... But also, I don't really understand what do you mean by your Jasmine being "closer" to canon. I thought she is canon and all of your games are fully licensed and totally in-universe! I don't want to live in a world where it's not true. Thanks for the update, and as always. Have a great week Aka!
Yup. My thoughts exactly. P.S. Of course my Jasmin is canon. I misspoke. ^^
Good to know you have a subscribestar, will be following that just in case!
Yeah. Plan B is always a good idea.
Being "old", I can see just how badly the world is turning and how our freedoms are being eroded. The web/digital was supposed to bring us a breath of freedom, but it's actually stripping us of everything. The worst thing is that, in a few years' time, the younger generations who haven't experienced the "before" will find all this normal.
They already find buying incomplete games at full game costs normal, it's well past 'in a few years' time' I'm afraid.
I have two things to say: 1. Your version of Jasmine IS canon. Period. 2. Jasmine is a whore! 👉👌
Both go without saying!
Looking forward g How you include gang boss Jasmine in a future project
Now I lowkey want to do it. As a side sim story maybe. :)
Idk if you've already said this and I missed it, but do you think you'll release QT this year?
To be honest this is a rather simple question to answer, but by doing so I would violate the tradition. All I can say is: it's coming when it's ready.
Thanks for having a free tier on SS to keep up in case "something" happens.
You got it! ^^
It's just a drawing of Jasmine playing a guitar calm down.
Heh, sorry. Try not to take it personally. I tend to look critically at this stuff and dissect both the drawing and the message it supposed to convey because I draw and write for a living. I understand that normal people tend to bot notice that sort of stuff. (Although majority do pick up on it instinctively).
