I woke up to several of those commission scam reviews added onto some fanfics of mine on FFnet. The kicker is that the fan fictions are all at least one-year-old, with one of them being five-years-old and having a fair amount of favorites. So either I delete these old fics or I just let these spam reviews just remain there because I can’t delete them and staff ain’t going to delete them either. Joy.

For more complaining from me specific to fan fiction, AO3 has been really slow to load for me lately. I’d wager that they’re getting hit by genAI scrapers, because why the hell would they not be as a huge source of the written word? I hope they implement Anubis to help with it, like the goddamn United Nations has done, apparently.

Okay, okay, enough complaining, I swear.

Wow, Look At This!: “Lilo & Stitch: Trouble in Paradise” For PlayStation

Developer: Blitz Games
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Genres: Action, Platformer
Release Date: 2002

Certainly nothing recently came out which inspired me to look back at the original Lilo & Stitch series, including the older games that came out to advertise it. Nope, nothing at all.
