I... got scammed.
By firstpressgames.com .
I wanted to buy a birthday present, and I didn't expect this company to be so problematic.
One month later without getting anything from them, nor responses to my messages... and it crosses my mind that I should have checked online reviews for that e-commerce business before buying anything... and there you go: 1.4 stars out of 5 (no one gave more than 2 stars).
The few reviews that gave 2 stars are something like this, YEARS of delay: gamepad.club/@vny/110691909210…
All of the public reviews use the word scam in one or another language, no exceptions.
Then I checked their social accounts, and... of course, they blocked comments everywhere, to avoid the possibility of angry people popping up and pointing to their shady behavior.

The image depicts a dramatic sky filled with dark, swirling clouds, suggesting an impending storm. The clouds are predominantly gray, with varying shades that create a sense of depth and movement. The texture of the clouds appears dynamic, with some areas appearing denser and others more diffuse, indicating the presence of strong winds. In the foreground, there are green trees with lush foliage, providing a stark contrast to the overcast sky. The trees are positioned at the bottom of the image, framing the scene and adding a sense of scale to the vastness of the sky. The overall composition emphasizes the contrast between the turbulent sky and the calm, greenery below.

I'm curious what Trump imagines the "GONE" in "If I wasn't elected, [our country] would have been GONE by now!" might have looked like? E.g., the full scope of goneness as he thinks of it in his confused and hyperbolic head.

The image depicts a close-up illustration of a person's eye and the hands performing the action of inserting a contact lens. The eye is shown with a blue iris and a visible eyelash, and the person's skin tone is light. The hands are positioned near the eye, with the index finger and thumb gently pulling the lower eyelid to create a pocket for the lens. The other fingers are placed above the eye, likely to steady it. The background is a solid light purple color, which contrasts with the skin tones and the eye, making the action clear and focused. The illustration style is clean and detailed, with smooth lines and shading that give a sense of realism to the skin and hair textures.

in reply to Wintermute • • •Das Bild zeigt eine atemberaubende Sonnenuntergangslandschaft. Der Himmel ist in warmen Farben wie Orange, Gelb und Rosa gefärbt, während die Wolken in verschiedenen Schattierungen von Grau und Schwarz leuchten. Der Sonnenuntergang ist im Zentrum des Bildes zu sehen, wobei der Sonnenball gerade hinter den Horizont sinkt. Im Vordergrund sind einige Dächer von Häusern und Bäume zu erkennen, die die Szene mit grünen Farbtönen bereichern. Der Hintergrund zeigt sanfte Hügel, die sich in der Ferne erstrecken. Die Farben und die Atmosphäre des Bildes vermitteln eine ruhige und friedliche Stimmung.
