S/V! Im a huge fan of the textures added.

Yup its exactly this. As much as I don't like it, it is the unfortunate reality we built as a society. We dont get to turn off the oil industry in 5 years. The mayor in the city that I live in still wants us to be fully car dependent. The idea of a LRT and less cars is very scary to conservatives.

But realistically we both work full time jobs. If we do make something out of this, it wouldn't be full scale production with numerous suits a year. But! It would be a great way to fund things like cons.

We just haven't been making suits long enough to make a retirement plan out of it lol.

The exchange rate isnt doing me any favors ontop of it all.

So, as they say, "just do it yourself" and im like ya, you know what? Fuck it.

Maybe we will get gud. Maybe Bogart and I can side hustle it. Maybe we can make a name for ourselves in the market.

Commissioning any future fursuit is getting more and more out of budget with numerous reasons as to why costs have gone up. I definitely get it. Makers deserve to be able to make money that can actually support their life and living expenses.

But! Im not a wealthy furry by anymeans.

Oh! And they won't have a lot of day passes available either due to capacity concerns.

Im having a hard time coping that FE is a big boy con now. You dont really feel it until it slaps you in the face as a local 😭

Its both 😭 They just reversed pricing for reg. We get to pay tax on top now! 🙃

$85+ 13% tax is the cheapest. If you dont reg right away you won't be put into the room draw. If they run it like they did for 2025, the guest tier will have the most entries and the least likely for you to win a room.
