"Dear unfortunate bastard..." (Patreon)

Hello, guys.

It's been a while since my last post, I know.

For some time now I've been telling myself "It's been too long! You got to post something!"...
But eventually it turned into: "Well it's been way too long now... No use to post anything at this point."

And, you know, there was nothing I could share, really. All I could say would be:
"I'm working non-stop on this project!"
"It's gonna be so much fun when it's released!".
Well, what else is new, Akabur?

Thankfully enough, now I finally have something to share. Unfortunately though that is not something I am happy about sharing...

Got this neat little letter from PayOneer last night... (Pic above) Decided to check my inbox before I went to bed... I wish I didn't... It was really hard to fall asleep after this.

I've been dreading something like this happening since day one. And now when it actually starts to happen I can't help but feel like :"Oh my god! I that it? IS THAT IT?!".

Well, to be fair, this is not necessary "IT". But I got to say, it sure feels a lot like IT.

Oh, and also my internet connection was down for more then a week now. I'm on a shitty mobile internet now that barely allows me to check my emails. (Can't login to PSN T_T) And I used to be really upset about this, but you know what? Suddenly it doesn't seem like such a big problem anymore...

Alright, enough stalling. The letter above basically says this:


"Dear unfortunate bastard.
We made some changes in our policy and as a result you won't be able to withdraw your funds directly to your bank account any longer. Now please keep in mind that you can still withdraw your money using your PayOneer card directly from ATM. But it has $200 per day limit, and also ATM will charge you a handsome fee.
The situation may change in the future though. If it does - we will let you know right away.
Thank you for using PayOneer. And have fun withdrawing your +6000 USD of income in Russian rubles every month".


Well, that's the gist of it...

Really don't know what to do at this point to be honest. Need to think more on this...

PayPal flat out denied me their services years ago, and PayOneer was the only option I had left...
Thankfully I have enough money saved up, so if push comes to shove I could always pack my bags and go live in Thailand or whatever... Or some other place I don't really want to go to but where they won't bug me too much about my visa...

Going back to HentaiUnited is a possibility I suppose... But that would be such a huge step back for me...

Also Nutaku.com contacted me a while back... But I don't want to charge for my work...  And it seems that's the only way they can afford to do business...

*Sigh*...

My only fucking goal is just to keep on working... Why must I deal with crap like this all the time...?

Well, in any case, you guys shouldn't worry about me stopping to work on my stuff. (EVER!) I hope most of you realize by now that my work is the only thing that maters to me.

Back in the day when I used to live in Japan... I was a dirt-poor student. Me, some Chinese guys, Several Koreans and a couple of guys from Africa formed this "super-poor group" in our school. Heh... We would work nightshirt (illegally) at a local vegetable factory so that we could buy cheapest food possible. I can't say it was a sad time for me though. I was rather hopeful about my future back then. Still young and living in Japan. But I was very poor and was eating a lot of rice and often would fall asleep during my classes because of the night-shifts at the factory. I couldn't allow a laptop of course...

But I had a note book and a pencil. When I had time I would draw naughty pics of April whenever I had time. And then I would go to internet cafe and use public scanner to scan them (always scared to get caught for some reason) and then upload them to the internet from public computers. Heh :)
(My "bear with a bit off ear" avatar you see everywhere is from that time. I drew it during class :)

I tell you all this only to illustrate how much my work always meant to me, and always will.
I don't put my work first. I simply don't see my life without my work. It's not a life at all to me.


I hope I didn't get too depressing with this one. Thanks to you guys I have enough money saved up now, so I'm sure we'll be able to figure something out. I'm just keeping you informed on the situation, since you are my investors and a part of my enterprise :)


Still not telling you anything about my current project though. :)
Well, maybe I could give you the name at least. It may change in the future, but I am fairly certain it won't. The current title is: "Star Channel 34".

And I'm working on it and a lot has been done of course. And I'm very eager to share some things with you guys, but the time is not right yet.

And there we have it! Not another one of those lame "proof of life" posts but a post with actual substance! Thank you PayOneer for returning my life into dramatic the theme again. Is a fiery gas explosion next to follow? (God I hope not OTL...)
