Occasions

Joining our forum this week is Pochito48. Hailing from Columbia, he offers his services in design visualization. In that, DerVVulfman inquired if it was graphic related or involving system design.

Beware. With the entry of orochi2k, our forum has been imperiled as this cultist uncovered the ancient and powerful relic called RPGMaker XP, and plans to use it not halted by any local superhero. DerVVulfman tried to inquire about his mischievious plans, and Metalrenard waved hello before quickly fleeing.

While it is true that Pie is Fly, you just have to love a good slice of Birthday cake and this week there was plenty of cake going around. This week started off as Waddle Dee and Zachariad got to eat some annual birthday confectionary. However, Glad300 was able to grab a own confectionary slab all his own. After that, flamiekitten and TeamNingo had icing covered confectionaries just in time before a bakery onslaught. Celebrations rang out for the new year and bakeries were nearly emptied when pinkink, joman159, masonhyla, krootkinshaper, Caldaron, com_ander, firevenge007, Grael, natinusala, link491, F117Landers, Xerdas, eric_rpgfaction, dasfjkhgasdjhk, masternoxx, Inklesssharpie, Blablablabla123, linkey, galord and Rangnarok all celebrated their day when the new year came in. And finally, the birthdays of zerodin's and sheetgames1's saw cake a plenty.

General Chat

This week, the News of the World is filled with conspiracy and stupidity. In Wisconsin, a pharmacist was arrested for intentionally spoiling hundreds of Covid-19 vaccine doses, and a Democrat Congresswoman plans to attend congress while knowing she has tested positive. Ghislaine Maxwell, accused of grooming young girls for sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, was denied bail yet again. Meanwhile, jailtime appears assured in China for a journalist who covered the Wuhan Covid outbreak as well as Hong Kong activists who tried to flee to Taiwan. On the reverse aspect, no arrests have been made for vandalism and property destruction for either the City Hall and Police Headquarters in Portland or for Mitch McConnell's house in Kentucky. Just ahead of the Georgia Runoffs, Facebook claimed it was an accident that they shut down fundraising accounts for Republicans. And speaking of Georgia, election data for the state now shows that votes did in fact switch from Trump to Biden, providing more data that election fraud had occurred. The ongoing lawsuit against Twitter over the Hunter Biden laptop, the death of Soleimani one year later, Governor Cuomo's apparant unilateral detention order, and much more can be read this week.

Tech Talk

Things are bad for SolarWinds if you wished to check the News of the Cyber World. According to Microsoft , it appears that the SolarWinds hackers gained access to the actual source code, though the tech gian downplayed the incident as largely harmless.

Material Development

Tools

One more update was made by DerVVulfman to The Spriteset Converter, this one adding a final buffer value for anyone wishing to add space to any individual frame, and making a change to the text display than renders when the image is being processed.

Resources Database

DerVVulfman continued working on weapon templates for the HALF KAISER BATTLER PROJECT, finishing the basic gun prototype and the spear prototype, this after completing two different bow templates. His next endeavor is a heavy weapon of some type, be it a warhammer or battleaxe, or something of that sort.

Well, that's it for this week.
