Wait what happened?

some people, visiting my blog, were able to see posts from many years ago which somehow resurfaced at the top thanks to Tumblr’s unbelievably shitty post-flagging system

I’ve noticed it happening to a few other blogs I follow, though luckily for those people it’s mostly like, One Risque Anime Pic They Reblogged Once

hey uh. your nudes are kind of at the top of your blog now jsyk

you know what’s a REALLY fun experience, everyone? when Tumblr dot hellsite, in its extremely malfunctional attempt to execute DestroyAllPorn.exe, decides to dredge up four year old ass shots and show them to everyone lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time

and for a while I thought this was a prank message, because neither myself nor some friends I asked could see any unsavory content whatsoever, no matter how we tried to access my blog. but then I noticed that I was seeing some weird things if I clicked on some other people’s icons on my dashboard and popped open that side blog view thingy. I didn’t see anything from clicking my own icon, nor consulting my blog on mobile. but then a dawning suspicion hit me…

SO HERE IS WHAT I HAD TO DO, TO UNCOVER AND FIX THIS PROBLEM:

  1. open up a private browser, so I wouldn’t be logged in on that browser window
  2. log into an old alt account I luckily still remembered the password to
  3. follow my main account from that account
  4. scroll down until I found one of my own posts
  5. click on my icon on the dashboard, opening up my blog on the right side of the screen
  6. scroll through there, grabbing the permalink to every offending post one-by-one, and accessing the posts from my main browser so I could delete them


this website fucking sucks. congrats to the lucky individual(s?) who saw my hot bod. everyone else beware

Hi! I wanted to replay all of Hiveswap Friendsim with a friend but wanted to erase my progress (ie. the epilogue) so it wouldn't be spoiled if I played it through with her. Is there any way for me to do that? Or do I need to buy the entire series for her?

to do that, you need to delete the persistent data save that Ren’Py creates. it can be found in your save data folder of the Steam install, BUT it also sometimes creates a double in the Renpy folder of your %appdata% folder, so you’ll need to delete it there too

this applies to Windows - I’m not 100% sure how the process works on other platforms

Saturday, December 15, 2018

the three bug reports I’ve received most often are:

  • trouble accessing the epilogue when playing on Android
  • achievements not working right for the latter half of the friends
  • Volume 13 cannot be played (we already knew about this one)

all of these are being worked on, as well as some of the other scattered reports

good morning everyone! well, afternoon, more like

to everyone who’s been sending bug reports - rest assured I’ve been reading them all and we’re working on it

to everyone having troubles with getting Steam to properly download Vol 18 I’m afraid there’s not much I can do on that end but give the usual advice:

  • try verifying integrity of game files
  • try uninstalling and reinstalling
  • try outright deleting some or all of your Friendsim folder and forcing Steam to redownload it, which sometimes catches things that an uninstall/reinstall would miss

a lot of us on the discord are getting "finale_a_yes jpg missing" with crashes when opening achievements after beating the game. not sure if thats causing the crash but there's def no unlock graphic for it

yeah I’ve been getting this report and I’ll look into it

does V have some sorta online presence anywhere

no idea

i hate to be impatient bc i know you guys had some difficulties but how much longer is the playstore gonna be?? some people really need to sleep :(

the Google Play store tends to be really slow to update so I’m going to guess another hour or two. I’m very sorry but I think you may want to get some sleep instead of staying up waiting

Are the in-game credits up for the latest routes? I can't seem to find the writer credits

oh dang in all the hustle and bustle we forgot to update those

Sorry but i would like to know, those who bought the volume while it was being fixed, do we have to buy it again? Asking because i can't play it still.

no, you shouldn’t have to buy it more than once. DEFINITELY don’t spend any extra money until it’s sorted out cuz that would suck

try logging out of and logging back into Steam, and also try hitting “verify integrity of game files” under right click -> properties -> local files in your Steam games menu

OKAY. THE PATCH CONTAINING ALL THE VOL 18 CONTENT SHOULD BE GOING LIVE ON STEAM ASAP.

of all fuckin’ places, the bug we encountered had to do with Volume 13. so, you won’t be able to play 13 temporarily while we get it sorted out. but Volume 18 should be good now.

Android release will come as soon as we can get it going

Can you help me? I bought Volume 18 and it just DOES NOT WANT to download. steam problems?
