Working on Top 5 Disney Villains

Helllllo Rivans

Turns out...there are a LOT of Disney films. Might take me a little longer than planned to watch through them and find my Top 5 Villains. I'll also be writing several other Disney-related lists at the time, so that'll be useful for the future.

First Hurdle (Mostly) Cleared

Helllllo Rivans

After announcing my plan to move PokéSins to my website, I've been tight-lipped about WHEN exactly it'll happen. That's because there were a number of technical issues standing between me and that goal, and I didn't want to promise things I might not be able to keep.

A Whopping FIVE PokéSins Blocked

I checked my emails this evening to find that not one, not two, but FIVE episodes of PokéSins have been blocked today. Four happened within the space of half an hour while the fifth happened a little bit later.

Let me tell you, I am LIVID. I have had it with ShoPro's passive-aggressive attitude t...

As discussion seems to have stopped on the PokéSins Plans post (although it's not too late to catch up or leave thoughts), I thought it safe to move onto the Patreon Tweaks I mentioned in that post.

Patreon Are Idiots Who Listen

This is a follow up to the post I did a few days ago talking about Patreon's planned change to the charging method. They aren't doing it.

The Vidme Option

Hey. I've been quiet about progress against ShoPro for a while, but that's because there's no progress to report. This is an annoying fact.

Don't take this to mean that I've been doing nothing. I present to you: The Vidme Option! Wow, that name isn't as dramatic as I hoped.
