choko, 24, he/they. i dont really post here anymore outside of updating my texture packs for toontown. sfw account, but pls only follow if 18+. please do not bring me into discourse im tired https://flipnotes.carrd.co/ for contacts / toontown resources !

Welp, its rare i make a post here anymore, but today I did a write-up on my tumblr blog about an ai-generated #toontown fanserver i found, and i thought it'd be nice to post what i found here as well. These are screenshots of the post, with alt text included to make things a bit more readable 1/4

Post from user 'straight-outta-thwackville' on tumblr.

It reads:
PSA: Today i found a cursed, ai-generated toontown fanserver

First of all, let me preface by saying PLEASE proceed with caution if you plan on trying this out. While i cannot fully confirm if there is true malware within here, it is incredibly worth being careful anyways thanks to the site itself being ai-generated, which isn't really a great sign. Keep your computer safe!

This is Toontown Beyond - a seemingly fully ai-generated fanserver, with some... possibly malicious code in its launcher, according to virustotal!

Below the text, it displays an ai-generated image of Flippy Doggenbottom holding a clapperboard, pointing at the viewer with a Big Wig, Robber Baron, and Mr. Hollywood off to the side. In the center, the text reads: "ToonTown Beyond", with a button below, that states "PLAY NOW"

The text underneath the image reads:
as you can see, the website's images seem to be entirely ai-generated, and i will point out aspects of that below. 

I discovered this whilst looking for UK-exclusive Toontown artwork, so that's fun.Continued from image 1, this image begins going into detail of the telltale signs of generative ai being used to create the image....

It reads:
First off.... if you'd like more proof that the image is generative, here's some closeup shots of aspects of the image.

Below it shows up of Flippy Doggenbottom, looking quite off, missing fingers, and having weird shading on his eyes.

The text below reads:
Flippy's ear is not attached, and he only has two fingers on his right hand. not to mention his.... strange mouth and eyes which are more wobbly than my own damn artwork, and i'm known for having shaky hands!The next section of the post, showcasing another part of the image. This time, it focuses in on the clapperboard Flippy holds, with distorted text all over.

The text below reads:
the clapperboard itself is filled with distorted text... it seems flippy is on 'yake' 8, and 'arxe' 2 of his production... on top of that, said production doesn't even have a fuckin name!Finally, the post focuses in on the cogs themselves, who's suits don't seem to be showing any legible emblems...

The text reads:
the cogs themself already look strange, but once you zoom in... you notice their emblems are, uh..... yeah.

But that is not the end of it. I went through the website, and even downloaded the game to run through virustotal!

tbh, considering i have written guides about parts of toontown for my friends, i am wondering if i should just flat out make a whole website filled with my strategies and how to learn x'D i used to have a neocities page for it, but never finished it!

as i've been doing art fight sketches (too burnt out to finish them atm </3) as well as fixing up broken textures in nightlife expansion pak, i have been working on a visual guide for quickly and effectively training drop. my old toontown bud Brendan and i co-developed a method we've used since 2018

currently at work attempting to fix up Expansion Pak before the game goes down for maintenance. Here's the progress with Lawbot HQ! i had to unfortunately retexture the CJ statue, as it would look REALLY bad if i used the low resolution ones on him. i will list off what needs to be fixed below:

Toontown Rewritten screenshot. It shows Lawbot HQ, in the process of being re-textured after an update broke the custom textures. There is a building to the left and right, and in the middle is a statue of the Cog Boss, the CJ.

new #toontown update dropped, and a neat change is that they've finally remastered parts of LBHQ & BBHQ that have been left un-touched up for quite awhile now. Super exciting, but that means i've got to get in there and do some proper testing after fixing the areas for Nightlife Expansion Pak!

Screenshots taken from Toontown Rewritten's newest blogpost, showcasing textures that have been redrawn as well as some models being placed better. The text reads "It also looks the like Cogs have been polishing up Lawbot and Bossbot Headquarters... We managed to snap these two photos using one of Ai Spai's periscopes. Take a look!"

While the text in the middle reads "Looks like they've finally replaced some of those old cans... If you ask me, it looks like that area is ripe for jumping on! I also took a sneaky peek inside the banquet room, and it looks like the C.E.O. has commissioned a portrait of The Club President!"

probably should start tracking bugs for nightlife expansion pak & daybreak. daybreak needs updated loading screens, and it needs to fix the music in one of the phases of the cashbot supervisor other than that i... am not 100% sure? i need to look into the toonHQ telescope texture for nightlife tho

update btw before i stop spamming: my brother is hopefully going to get this bad boy fixed up and send it over :) it has the red rings, but i would rather him do the overheating fix bc i have carpet only in my apartment. excited nonetheless!

UPDATE ON THE GEARS OF WAR XBOX: its in my hands. it is a physical addition or modification it seems. what im guessing is that this is a custom shell of sorts, but i was honestly convinced it was a flat skin! wild!

oh! my grandparents are finally sending up most of my stuff i left behind which is fun. this means i Should get my fursuit head... though I'm unsure about the sewing machine? ๐Ÿค” i guess i can save up and throw a few bucks at someone to fur her for me then. she has eyes, just needs fur.

its funny to me that i put my new toons, Batwing and Chronus on art fight even though i havent even started playing as them ingame yet, because im still working on finishing up my quad toons i would upload the quad toons, but tbh only outta mana deserves art xD

im gonna be so fr i goofed hard on Outta Mana. i meant to make him tuless but somewhere down the road i realized it would be really hard doing a quad toon run with two tuless toons (since unhappy meal also is tuless!) so i ended up making him trapless. xD i know thats gonna be brought up a lot lol
