A proper pinned skeet is in order, methinks.
I'm most known as Leina, aka The North-East Recluse. I pretend to be a red panda online and blather on about videogames, mostly, but also other nerd stuff, furry stuff, and also the odd serious topic like UK politics, mental health and gender identity.

If I ever somehow won the lottery (I only play once or twice a month, if that), I wouldn't publicly announce it, but you'd see signs for sure.

I need a new fursuit badly (well, not "need" but highly desire one). Not only does my bodysuit not really fit anymore, but I just feel like I want a suit that's more reflective of me. I want to walk around as Leina, wear pretty outfits, be a big wah mom.

You have to make the art anyway.
Because there's that shot of just ONE person who gets it, finds it, and you become great friends.
Art is merely a door I've had the pleasure of opening for those who knock.

Extra clarifications;
- This seems to only be for the UK peeps and Australians as we already did verification.
- You would likely need to fully close out of/update Discord if it doesn't work/show up or if it's a little broken.

Okay.
Go to Discord settings > Family Center.
Enter your Date of Birth when prompted.
Apparently that just works??

Got hit with Discord's re-verify bullshit despite doing this already back when the UK enforced the OSA.
They can't detect my age with a face scan this time, and as a result I have used up my attempts to do so. I feel this is an attempt to hand over ID instead, which I'm not doing.

Here’s some evidence that the comic from last week’s Starfleet Academy episode wasn’t AI-generated after all. So apparently the weird mistakes were because of time crunch? I still think they should’ve hired a real comic artist & made something that can actually be published as a comic book though.
Stu has also shared some of the prelim sketches of several double pages seen in the episode. He's let me know "it was a gruelling task to get this all completed and ready for our VFX and Motion Graphics to have ready on screen and our Props Department to have on set (when B'Avi is laid to rest)" 2/4

If any of you are suddenly finding Discord suddenly locked down (your profile saying you're a 'Teen' for example) despite either already having done age verification or such, do the following:

BTW, when people say it's dangerous to try and "clean up" furry and prioritize SFW family friendly vibes, there's a valid reason to worry.
Our local furry group went through that in the mid 2000s.
A CisHet parent fur decided EVERY FURMEET should be SFW, so their 8 year old kids could attend.

It's weird how many MMOs I've added to my Steam library, even though I'm never likely to play any of them because playing them optimally usually requires a subscription. I guess I'm keeping options open in case I ever bounce off FFXIV?
Also, I almost typed MOO instead of MMO. XD
