poking the tip of my nose into the shady, shady world of roblox script injection just to get my hands on a local copy of a long-broken copylocked game i really liked back in 2010. i did manage to get a saved instance, even without any scripts my nostalgia is mostly satisfied by a roblox studio flythrough because the bulk of the dialogue and stuff is contained in strings stuffed into the models.

but hot damn the hoops you need to jump through to get a script injector to be usable even OUTSIDE the fact that they register as trojans in Windows Defender meaning i had to enable the one i used just long enough to do the thing and get out. i guess the usual purpose of these things (being a little cheater mostly) matters enough to folks that theyre willing to go through like five different layers of ad-gated redirect and captcha that you need a specialized script to circumvent because the damn site actually CHECKS how long it's been to make sure you DIDNT just bypass it, just to get a key to make their free script injector work

i think i'm lucky i only decided to poke my nose into this on an old unpopular unprotected game. i do not play roblox often anymore but i have seen the havoc script kiddies wreak firsthand on old unprotected popular games, and i imagine a new, popular and well protected game with the latest anticheats would basically require the paid offerings to avoid instant death-by-anticheat-violation. all in all, this experience has been like a 2/10, did what i wanted to, got out, the injectors have been Quarantined far away from me

edit: also they're so Modern and Slick looking and i don't like that. i think i would trust them more if they didn't look like they'd been touched by anyone with design taste and instead just looked like boring plain windows

I love my liberal friends but I wish there was a way to explain to them that private corporation Disney being able to litigate circles around the state of Florida is not the dunk that they think it is.

we managed to beat brock tonight, which means we're as far in kaizo as we've ever been in standard ironmon

this just proves my belief that staying in standard wasn't really making things easier

fun stream tonight, looking forward to more kaizo

Over the past two days I've played Umurangi Generation, which is on Xbox Game Pass for free. Gotta say, I'm surprised by how much I like this game. I knew from critics I watch on YouTube that it was a pretty interesting indie game, but I tend to prefer action-packed gameplay. Here, you're equipped with a film SLR camera and equip new lenses and post-processing effects as you play along. I like photography, don't get me wrong, but I need to be in a particular mood to take pictures because it requires you to slow down and meticulously analyze your photo composition to take good photos. Photography tends to split me in two. My autistic side loves the raw analysis of the composition and using traditional guidelines to snap a good photo, while my ADHD side just wants to snap a pic and move on. One side is precise, slow, methodical and thoughtful; the other is spontaneous, chaotic, scattershot and directionless.

My initial playthrough had some tunnel vision, where I was trying to achieve the objectives in time to deliver my parcel as fast as possible. My ADHD side liked this; it was goal-oriented with consistent progression to the end of the level. If I couldn't find all the objectives in the 10 minutes I'm given each level, I'd start taking my time to consider the actual contents of the image - appeasing my autistic side. Not many games really appeal to both sides of me; the only other genre I can think of that does so this well is sim racing, but those games are becoming harder to play as my body continues to deteriorate For Some Reason.

I won't say much about the game itself, because I think it's best experienced with little knowledge going in. All you really need to know is this:

• it's fun, go play it even if you don't really like/engage with photography
• take your time, you don't get punished for finishing the level late. take in the sights, and come back to the level later if you want the bonus equipment.
• you can double jump
