To find yourself censored now as the tools for such will be passed in the this horrible event's name to prevent another one. Won't directly mention why, you know why, that's why i won't say why. Didn't gate-keep the problematic elements out, didn't try to keep the fandom just about art, stories and the appreciation of such. Many in the fandom in fact encouraged the use of this fandom to that end. I won't be surprised at what's coming. I may be a bit sad to see it pushed back into the deeper recesses. The Usenets, the obscure forums and IRC channels. I won't be surprised though.

So it's bordering on two months now, down for good? Or will they eventually come back?

For those of you who are about to lose access to adobe products because they're saying you can't make anything nsfw with them.

Fa is stopping custom keywords it seems. An 'unsupported' keyword is unsearchable, so lets for example say my draco-fox species takes off.
But not as popular as Chakat's or Sergals.
The tag's Dracofox or Draco-Fox would be unsupported. They'd still appear on the works, grayed/browned out. But you can't search for them if you wanted to see all the content with them.

Way to kill discover ability to lesser creators.

To put it bluntly a lack of understanding of even basic electrical theory can cause the card to pull up to 600w on a SINGLE wire and the card will happily run, as your system catches fire.

I do post adult and mature works. if you don't see anything recently posted, check your content settings. I just posted the first chapter of my new story.

If you're going to go to the effort to post something online, in a public forum. You shouldn't be allowed to block replies, you can put someone on your block list but that's different than blocking replies to a journal or a piece of art because you know those who see it won't agree with you.

If you just want to post something and not care about who says what about it, you can just ignore the replies, simple as that.

Disabling replies or hiding someone's reply speaks more or your thin skin and nothing else. A thick skin is required in the real world.

I wavered a bit, considering if i should even post this or not, but then i thought it would be a good idea to at least tell the few who watch me.

I have started writing the next story, I do not have a name for it yet, and not all the characters are named yet either. But i can tell you a few things.



It's going to be in the Isekai genre, with some, leaning to 'light' lit-rpg elements. As in mentioning abilities and such but no hard stats.

Put your pitchforks away, please.

I actually got inspired to go the other route. It's going to be a native/nativeish species rejecting the isekaied group/groups.

In fact, in this story. Their world is now in their third Isekai situation, with the previous two now decent sized 'countries' and decent populations who're antagonistic to the native species now. So there's going to be three races.

The Draco-Foxes, see https://www.sofurry.com/view/2176614 for everything but tech level.

Humans.

And Chakats.



Though the latter is an idea for another story i merged into this one. In their hand-book they say they're more mentally stable. But, tribalism and feelings of superiority are not a mental illness, despite your feelings on if it's right or wrong. Also, despite how much i love the species, i can't ignore the flaw that a 'lot' of the information about them paints a picture of one heck of a superiority complex, or at least 'very' fertile ground for it to grow in those who want to foster it.

Also it'll have three main characters, but i am not going to handle it like i did starfall. switching between the two every few chapters. Other than say a flashback or whatever that needs to focus on something about the character.



The three main characters are as follows.



Rohaka the male Draco-fox. Starts off at nine years old. only child of a den in a clan and skulk of merchants. Any more will be spoilers.

Sandstone: the Chakat main character. Same age as Rohaka. Lacks an ability Chakats are 'supposed' to have by their views, and has instead something no other chakat does, or should in the planet's population.

And a yet unnamed human female. Adult. part of a group started by the priestess of the very first successful human Isekaied group. Cursed to become something by the current leader of the group.



I do not know when i'll have the first chapter out. That's why i wavered on posting this. Wanting to let my small audience know ahead of time won out though.

To be honest, anyone with half a functioning brain-cell should've realized they're more personalities and celebrities than actual tech people, so i'm also kinda to blame a bit.

Still, i have to say the launch of the new zen 5/ryzen 9000 series in my eyes did more to damage the big three tech youtuber channels(linus tech tips, gamers nexus, and jayztwocents) reputations at actually being legit than they were than the small uplift(at leas for the 9600x and 9700x which should've been labeled non x imho) for AMD.

Well to be fair linus tech tips more or less gave up the ghost on that not to long ago when he up and sold a start-up company's prototype literal all-in-one liquid cooler block(cooling both cpu and gpu on the same block for small form factor cases) in an auction rather than give it back to the company like requested.

Anyway, everyone knows first party benchmarks(ones provided by the company that's selling the product) are to be taken with a grain of salt. On the other hand they generally are within about 5-10% of actual numbers. So when a tech youtuber, *coughgamernexuscough* 'known' for deep diving issues. Ignores that something's not quite right.

His review copy of the 9600x was doa on the 600 series mb chipsets(these were made for the 7000 series zen 4) and a 9700x that unlike other reviewers had memory stability issues. Did he step back and say 'there appears to be a compatibility issue here, we'll provide reviews but will not consider them final reviews of the product till these issues are fixed in case they are hampering performance.'

No, no he did not. instead he went on to review it, counts the do 9600x against amd, and the poor performance of the 9700x as the final reviews. Then posts a second video defending his first review about them being a dumb value for their cost... By saying they'll always compare the launch price of the 'new product' in the price-performance-watt calculations against the 'current' price of the previous gen.

That's like comparing the price of a current video game, to the price they were 30 years ago, not taking into account inflation, and basing your opinion on if they're cheaper or more expensive than ever on that.

Linus tech tips just posted the numbers, called it a poor showing, and walked away, similar to jayztwocents.



Now a small part of me thinks this is more or less an olive branch to intel(or intel telling them, they all have received sponsorship's from intel in the past 'review zen5 poorly or not get review samples for new cpu's gpu's gamers nexus even getting to tour intel facilities), considering all three when pretty hard at intel over their oxidation issue killing 13 and 14th gen chips... which they did not fix. the microcode update is a placebo. software cannot fix physical hardware defects. It doesn't even do what is claimed, lowering the voltage on the cpu to extend it's life. smaller tech youtuber channels have gone over the microcode and shown that it actually increases the voltage on average.



But what i'm leaning to is they got a TON of attention and traffic covering said intel debacle, so when amd launched zen 5, and when on the surface it doesn't look good. they just up and ran with it.



Turns out there's multiple issues going on.



Considering AMD couldn't have been able to test all variants of 600 series mb's in the wild with the new cpu. It's no surprise that some am5 mb's. Remember this is a new platform, JUST for the 7000 series till now. Have memory compatibility issues with the new zen5 arch. either just not working or poor timing settings, hampering performance for zen5 when those same sticks are considered 'compatible' by the mb maker and work on zen4 just fine.

Also there appears to be a similar issue to when intel came out with the novel, for x86, BIG.little* topology. Windows scheduler didn't know how to handle the cpu. Would put a demanding process on the 'little' or E cores. ignoring the BIG or P cores. Or right out crash when faced with starting an intensive process, like a game. Well Zen5 also has something new to the x86 arch too. instead trying to predict a single branch in code execution, so the cpu can increase performance by working on the code, before the actual process gets to that point. It has 2. So the cpu looks at two predictive execution branches, rather than one. The problem is, the os schedulers need to know about this to take advantage of it. Ie feed the caches right.

Linux can, because the linux kernel has run on multiple types of cpu's through out the years, and many of them, like ARM and i THINK power pc, not sure though. Also branch predicted past just the single branch x86 used to. So it knows how to handle it. Sites like phronix(linux only benchmark site) and the tech youtuber wendell?(exact spelling escapes me atm) which threw in linux benches of the new chips.

Well they noticed a larger than normal gap in performance between linux and windows. Normally about 1-5% is expected due to more efficient; process scheduling, i/o handling, and lack of in built drm. in some cases as much as 10% in some artificial benches like for how well all the various web-browser languages run happened in these comparisons, meaning something is going on.

Not to mention further testing revealed another scheduler bug in windows that affects amd cpu's only. Something in windows scheduler hampers performance on zen cpu's if you don't run programs as an administrator. which btw is a bad practice to do. Never run things as administrator if you can help it. in some games, running it as administrator on zen cpus increased fps by 10-15, but around 5~fps was normal.

Then a couple of days ago, another bug was found. Unlike all the other non 3dvache(cpu's without the 3d at the end aka 5800x instead of x3d) cpus, all 9000 series cpu's have core parking. As in when not many things are running, or your running an intensive 'mostly' single threaded task like a game. the cpu is designed to park, or soft-off non used cores so power can be put to use on the ones running the task. This allows in theory to up performance in tasks such as games as it will allow the used cores to clock higher thus more performance.
But here's the catch, In windows, unlike linux. If a cpu is present in the system without vcache or an intel cpu that explicitly advertises it has this feature when windows is installed, and ONLY when it's installed. The windows scheduler will NEVER be aware of this feature, causing it to NOT work at all. Of course, hampering performance.

Guess what these big youtubers do to save time? If you said 'just move a drive with windows installed between machines with everything they need already installed, never newly installing an os on new cpus' you win.



*BIG.little refers to a heterogeneous type of cpu where two different arches exist on the same cpu. In intel now they have performance cores aka BIG. These are your 'normal' fat cpu cores, with all the bells and whistles. designed to guzzle power, spit out heat, and clock as high as possible. aka your standard x86 core. the little or efficiency core, is a completely different kind of arch. Starting off as the old Intel 'atom' cpu's(yes the ones that used to power netbooks and that intel almost a decade ago now tried to put in phones to compete with arm) which in turn were taking the old pentium-pro arch and updating it. thentuning it with the bare amount instructions needed to run modern code. these things are tuned to use as little power as possible and clock only high enough to do the task needed.

In theory the idea is neat and has been done on arm cpus for almost 2 decades at this point? the performance demanding tasks go to the BIG cores, for maximum performance, and that's ALL they do, while the os and all background tasks get shoved to the little cores.

Just an aside as i work on the Starfall epilogue.

Other than Pal-world, 2024 has been disappointing game ways to me.

I've long since grown out of being able to tolerate griefers so multiplayer games like helldivers 2 was right out.

Balders gate 3 turned out to be an ad&d romance and sex game, more budget seems to have been allocated to that part of the game vs the rest. If i wanted a sex game i'd get something else.

The suikoden successor was both marred by a terrible translation from political hacks who think anyone right Stalin as evil and a piss-poor story. I actually wrote most of a multi page review as i forced myself to complete the game simply because i want to complete at least one game that isn't early access this year.

Now we get to the latest shit-fest. the dlc for elden ring. Where fromsoft drops their hard, but fair game play style for arcade hard. everything 1-2 taps you no matter your stats in a rpg game. the bosses are like anime wannabe's. flying around like Naruto ninja's unleashing 10-20 part combo's while your the typical plodding souls character. Some don't even wait for you to cross the fog gate they're already in your face before you enter.

On top of the fact they tuned them to favor only a single mechanic for dodging when the game has multiple ways to dodge and all of them are viable in the base game..

Then there's the lore. I shit you not, no pun intended. trousers or lower armor sets from any male npc's mention directly or indirectly they shit their pants. every female npc is portrayed as a mary sue. and the story is about a 'hinted at' under age femboy brainwashing, stealing souls of the main game bosses and well, doing 'relations' with them plus aliens somehow.

wtf man it's almost as if the dlc wasn't made by them.

I 'do' mark my stories with the appropriate ratings. Because of the violence in the finale main chapter of starfall i had to mark it adult. Adjust your site settings if you do not see it.

If you're ever told that once you go from an active job to a less active one, you're health will decline. They're telling the truth, while the first followup scan after the radiation treatment approaches. I've been dealing with other health issues.

Arthritis in the back from years of distribution work, so it's between the shoulder blades causing all sorts of issues with the arms.

Abdominal paint hat starts more or less in the mid to upper right quadrant and can move. right now fighting insurance as to what to do to look into this.

As for the next chapter of Starfall, Titled, a measure of a man. It's int he first round of editing and should be out, soonish.



Now onto the other main reason i wanted to post this.



Being a fan of pokemon, as anyone who was alive and old enough to enjoy the original games. Along with some of the other media. It brings me a bit of disappointment to see how the majority of the fandom has acted in the last couple weeks.

From brigading forums and their discord. To fabricating evidence on 'copying'. the redditer/youtuber who claimed pal-world copied models came out and said he edited both palworld models and pokemon ones to make them look similar. For example if you look at his 'list' he edited eevee's fluff to exaggerate it and make it look like the pal cremis because he wanted the game canceled.

fabricating evidence of the use of ai, yes the dev made a previous game with it. a 'one night ultimate werewolf' or 'among us' style social game. but no evidence of it being used since.

To doing; digital, voice and in person death threats to the small time 'only when they had the money' studio employees.

Nintendo even had to issue a corporate statement. Once translated from legallise/pr language it more or less states. 'stop sending us emails! we know about the game and will take action if they 'do' actually infringe on our ip.' Like they had the full right to do so to the modder who tried to add actual pokemon tot he game.

All because a parody game in both art style and game play in two weeks made more money and was more successful than any pokemon game since the original game boy titles. Let alone the under baked and barely playable slog that is the recent entries. Showing that there IS a market for an adult themed pokemon style game with survival elements on pc.

Least of all the rumors of fans going as far as to get the game to purposefully crash the multiplayer servers, or hiring groups to do the same.

To be frank, i'm ashamed i even liked the pokemon games if this is the company it draws. Low life's who have so little self value that any challenge to a by all means dead and rotting franchise creatively, gets such a visceral reaction like they were personally attacked?

I debated posting this because i don't want to sound like one of those e-beggers. You know the kind. 'help *insert inconvenience here* happened, please buy my adopts yada yada.'

Though the few who do read my attempts at writing do deserve to know what's going to happen. Starfall is not going on hiatus, nor is it stopping. But the next few chapters may not be anywhere near on time for my loose schedule.

Not only has the 2008/2009's tumor returned, it's now a meningioma. It's wrapped around an arty and some vital nerves. I go in on wed for a 'very' invasive surgical procedure to remove what's safe to remove and very possibly radiation afterwards try to remove the remaining part.

I do occasionally, like with the current chapter of Starfall, post stories that fall into the f.a. definition of 'adult'.

If you cannot view the latest chapter, which is rated adult. Hover over the gear in the upper right corner of the website, then click on 'Account settings', on the third option down from the top is a drop down menu to change your viewing settings on the site.
General, Mature, and Adult. The latter of which requires you to be of legal age, of at least the United states.

Well it didn't take long for my new job to turn to shit.

I'll state something personal here. I'm not a very social person, i suck at social interactions and i do sometimes fail to notice tone of voice cues. In turn i sometimes give off the wrong tone of voice in stressful situations.



Like being told i made a mistake.



It feels like an excuse, as i look normal otherwise. Hell, even to the point i look younger than i actually am.



Add to that learning that a mid level boss has a tendency to be a dick. He won't work with my, or from what i learned. Other people's issues. everyone under him has been reporting him to higher ups. And i'm on my final warning to 'fix this issue' instantly or i'm out the door.



So is it any wonder i withdraw. Avoid being around anyone, and even have great reluctance to even say 'hello, good morning'?



Anyway, the next chapter is coming along, slowly. So i will also take this opportunity to stress again that stuff mentioned in the story may or may not be part or wholly my views on such matters. I will not state otherwise other than some of the stuff makes damn good story fodder. The chapter is a little longer than i would want and that's why it's taking a while.

The next Mark chapter, the one after this will be rougher but it sets things up for the last bit before we move back to Usako and start the trial.

I'm also toying with an idea of a holiday themed one shot for October. Yea that's only about 5 months away, isn't it?

One of the ideas is set in the Chakat universe. Mainly based on this little tid-bit i thought up.

---

The crowd mills around the immaculately dressed Caucasian man, clad in a suit of possibly a by-gone era by the casual eye. Though he wears it so well that few pay him mind as he passes through the crowd of humans and furs. His destination clear as the sky is today as the sun is, one of the oldest bank head-branches in existence. The towering building looming in the distance.



One of the few that survived the Gene-Wars. Though no one could put a finger or claw as to why it did. Many were raided, others collapsed when dollars became little more than green toilet paper.



A passing Voxen in a tour group here to see the great city pesters his Chakat tour-guide about 'that odd looking human' he just spotted. As the Chakat in question scans the crowd upon his insistence, failing to see anything amiss.



The man in question continues walking, helping an elderly fur across the street. The fur thanking him profusely and commenting that he's a rarity these days.



Every strand of fur on a passing Rakashani stands on end in alarm. Here only to see why his sister chose a human to add to their house and nothing else. Stands stark still as the man passes beside him. Feeling instead his specie's goddess of death just passed him by rather than though all he can see is the mid day crowd of business men, women, and furs who surround him.



Only to get bumped into by a passerby, and yelled at for being a stupid tourist. If it wasn't for sheer fear of his life, he would punt the human across the street.



The man continues on, not noticing, or more likely ignoring the near street rage incident.



Soon stopping in the small psudo park of tended grass and tall trees in front of his destination. The fifty odd story skyscraper of a bank branch. He admires the view, marveling at the construction and reminiscing on simpler times.

Thoughts of when buildings were less elegant, smaller, and cruder. Even the sky scrapers from before the Gene War pale in the new artisan style.

Then again a simple peasant's hovel had more character than 'brutalist' style of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries he mentally frowns.

A cait, low ranking wife in a mixed species house, stops in her tracks on her way to the same bank to secure a loan for family vehicle. Frozen from a force none of her five senses could pick out and yet, something primal screams at her to go away, far away. There's danger here and you WILL die if you stay.



To the confusion of the humans and furs milling about the park like area, she heeds this unknown instinct, making upmost haste in the opposite direction of the well dressed man. Even as he politely holds a door open for a young fur couple.



Seemingly oblivious to the scene he smiles and thinks to himself. 'After all chivalry isn't dead as long as there's still one practicing it.'

Something in the air shifts, the constant hum and drum of activity in the front lobby. Customers, Clerks, the few living tellers, even those there to just use the V.I. run glorified ATM's. All of them stop what they're doing and look over to the well dressed man who just entered.

Humans and those who's species were made or uplifted by human hands silently go back to what they were doing, paying him no more of their attention. Those that aren't human though, suddenly have an instinctual urge to be 'elsewhere' and quickly indulge in it.



All the while the well dressed man walks up to a guarded corridor. Leading further into the bank, a place only employees and very special people can access.

"May I help you?" the imposing lion-taur bars his way.

'Of course they would have one of them. rare they may be weremic's or weremec's make imposing security guards.' The well dressed man reaches for a inner pocket of his suit jacket. internally grinning at the large fur's muscles flexing.

'like that would help you if i wanted to enter without permission.'

Pulling out a wallet he flips it open to show his id.

Relaxing, and putting on his best customer service smile, the lion-taur steps out of the way upon reading it.

"Oh I was told to expect you Mr. Ducal. Though, considering why, i would've expected you to have more security."

Politely smiling, he pockets his wallet. "It's fine, and you can call me by my first name, Marve."

With a wave of his hand he motions further into the building. "I have an appointment to keep and such things drain more time than they're actually worth. The key is to act like you actually belong where ever your at and people in general just fail to notice you as anything important."

While i am not digging the 'everything must be phone' philosophy. It's inexcusable to do a centered site like this, creating dead-space for everyone not using 4:3 monitors, and NOT have something other than a solid color there.
Sofurry at least puts a decent looking vista painting in that space.

California, Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington state have banned sale of gaming computers. Dell and other prebuilts will now refuse to sell you a computer to those states if it is either a 'standard' computer, unless it's weaker than a low power i5 and a gtx 1660. Or you pay hundred of dollars extra to get a non-Standard (atm) 12vo system. From intel. Sorry according to the law amd is completely banned as they are not efficient enough.

A friend of mine called this the 'outlawing of assault computers', and i found this amusing. Atm you can still purchase those machines by having them shipped elsewhere then brown boxed to you. Parts as far as i can tell are exempt too.

The reasoning? A fishy smelling 'paper' claiming by between 2035 and 2040 computers, and gaming machines in particular will consume more electricity than what the total world generation capacity is.

Well, I've had my first week of the new position. It's different and in a better place. air conditioned and less 'manual' than the last one. As in not expected to move objects of obscene weight like the last one. But I don't know how stable I am there.

I'm still hitting myself over the mistakes i'm making as I am learning and hoping I didn't sink it before I even started. That being said the fact it has set hours is something that i'm still, in kinda awe of having. As much as I hated the 'when we feel like' of the old position, i had gotten used to it. I'm still also getting used to the new sleep schedule.

But i do love getting home at 4:30ish pm now. Because of this i have 'chapter 5:Welcome to earth?' written and i am in the process of editing it. I am trying a new style, instead of [spoken word] [action] with plain action. it's a mix of [action] [spoken or thought words] [action] or [action] [spoken or thought words]. We'll see if that makes readability better.
There's also no way around it, this chapter will be an info-dump chapter, and since part of Starfall is political, so this chapter will have some politics in it.

I will state here, and on the post of the chapter it's self. that I may or may not agree with the politics as laid out in the story for the bio-morph world circa 2100, you know the standard c.y.a. shit. Yet i can understand it. Only my close friends know my political affiliation. What you do know is i am no fan of this sjw purity spiral shit though.

Okay with that out of the way, there are two main influences that i have used to form this. The first one is starship troopers, NO not the movie, the movie only gives a partial nod to the views of the book. The series is the liberty, free choice, and nationalism counter to the obvious heavily influenced by communism of the star trek universe. A decent breakdown of this can be found here. https://www.bitchute.com/video/kVpYvV0O7uI/

The other is a late 19th, and early 20th century quote that I've forgotten the book it came from. 'For a liberal government to exist, the state must have a monopoly on violence.' Keep in mind these are 19th(1800-1899) and early 20th(1900-1912 or so) terms.
when they say liberal they mean liberty. A government that ensures liberty to it's people. And when they say a monopoly of violence. They mean the power to enforce laws, crime and punishment, etc. So it basically means this. For a government that provides rights and liberty to it's people, it MUST be the only organization determining what's a crime and dispensing punishment. So for the good of the people in the state, any organization that attempts to step in front of it, and apply their own set of crime and punishment must be eliminated as a threat to that state.

Gangs, Religous sects, political parties, subversive ideologies( for example, both forms of collectivists ie communism and fascism, non-compatible forms of democratic rule like pure democracy, democratic socialist(communist lite btw) or parliamentarians. those who wish religious rule like theocratic, biblical rule, shrira law, toranic law etc.) must be wiped out.



anyway, i should have the chapter out at LEAST by next weekend.

I've gone back to work so progress on chapter four has slowed down to my normal rate. So end of the month by the latest.
Good news though, I've secured a position elsewhere in the company with better hours, as in a hard line actual stop time. So no more 'whenever we feel like' which can be as late as 9-10 at night (start time is 9 am currently). Along with a lot lower physical requirements.
No more expected to lift 50,60, even 90 pound items by my self even though sop(standard operating procedure) calls for anything 50 or higher to be team lifted.
Especially since they've replaced an actual good coworker, with someone who looks half my age, and who refuses to work, spending more time on his phone. Yet another 'diversity' hire where how he looks is more important than will he work. They refuse to move him and put someone else, who's known to do a better job and has been there before in his place...

I've marked some with mature and adult themes. So if you're wondering why you only see some chapters but not others, check your account settings for visibility.

I have decided that now that Fur-Affinity is no longer owned by a sleazy video chat company known for stealing art. I'll post the stuff i made since i stopped posting here roughly in 2015... has it been six years?

Jack's tail is about as old and is not up to my current quality standards, but it's the first story in the Bio-Morph universe.

Jackie's tail just finished up and i'll post it here too.

Starfall is my current work project and the first chapter will be posted here along with sofurry and archive-of-our-own.

Go to my Sofurry page. Due to the terms on the imvu buy-out not only will all my latest works be there, but i will be removing some here.

Edit: almost forgot my link.

So here I sit, at home, when I am supposed to be at work. Why? My smart car is stuck in park.
Yea, yea, i know the internet meme and the car owner meme say it's a 'very' bad car. It actually isn't, except for this one issue.
But thats not the worst of it, normally i would have my motor bike to fall back on for days like today. Except that i have been waiting for payday, which is also today, to buy new riding gear because my current set has aged to the point of being unsafe.

To top it off the dealership may not be able to get at it till monday!

I bought a couple of video cards with my tax return money, one of them came with in game cash for games I neither play nor have interest in playing.
Dc-comics infinite crisis
Strife
and War Thunder

Now rather than let these codes go to waste, $50 per game. I thought it would be nice to give them out to people who actually PLAY them.
So does anyone who watches me play them?

Infinite crisis, Strife, Or War Thunder?
