Did Someone Say “Let’s Datamine Graffiti Kingdom!”??????

🔆 Picking up Pitch to Lion-King the lil' birb and present him as the good boi he is.

The tiny bird only responded with a confused beep.

Bethesda dropped the fattest stink bomb the gaming industry has seen in a decade

Blizzard put two shots in the back of Diablo’s head

Sony not doing E3, necking Japanese devs

Microsoft hasn’t been relevant in gaming since the XBone’s subpar release

Meanwhile Nintendo is fucking drowning in Switch success because they actually know how to, y'know, make video games.

So, India is dying.

Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.

If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.

A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.

There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.

There is no plan.

Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.

Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.

We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.

This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.

We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.

People are dying.

People are dying.

People are dying and there is no plan.

More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.

My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.

Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.

But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.

She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.

So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.

If you can, donate.

Or spread the word.

Help. Please.

Some more muses from GK for the ask blog!

Pilfering Parakeet, Prick Bird; This little avian serves the entirety of House Medium, making use of his small size, aerodynamic form, and the various gadgets he's been outfitted with to serve as spy and soldier.

Boiling Ballerina, Firina; The red, left dancer from the Lava Hole volcano. Her graceful spins and turns are imbued with firey energy to burn any trespassers.

Blistering Ballerina, Icina; The blue, right dancer from the Lava Hole volcano. Her elegant glides and twirls are imbued with icey energy to freeze any who oppose His Eminence.

Lizardina Twins, Lee and Zee; Members of the Lizardinas, former Firina or Icina demons who have gone through a shift in form and apparent sex. Although they occasionally practice the twirls their old forms are renowned for, these boys can be more commonly found in the Lava Hole room just after Finina's and Icina's, athletically bouncing between mini islands.

Guess the Green Spongey went go-karting. XD

Temples are built for gods. Knowing this a farmer builds a small temple to see what kind of god turns up.
