DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.

So everything's bad and I'm currently temporarily out of work due to the government shutdown. So, later today I'll be putting out applications to jobs that I hope will be okay with me high-tailing it back to my real career once it's over. Speaker of the House keeps saying that it's going to be the longest shutdown ever and I need money for the mortgage. Frankly, I'm not sure what I'd be qualified for. I've been a glorified park ranger for nearly 20 years, all I know is weird administrative stuff for systems decades out of date also, how to beg Congress for money just right. This one budgeting software still comes on floppy disks and requires DOS knowhow to use.

I might consider opening commissions, but I've been out of practice for ages and we've got AI now to generate shitty art.

As an aside, SE put out info on the new Dissidia on mobile with clear indicators of microtransactions mentioned in the closed beta application. So, another attempt at a gacha. Not sure how much interest it'll garner, as coffee shop AUs written by tweens on ff.net/Wattpad rarely go over well and the new Dissidia has big coffee shop AU energy all over it. Art is mediocre and everything about it looks dull, which is disappointing because it's nice to see Krile get some attention for once.

Oh well.
