I've seen that since the recent round of updates.  Also one where you send Annie a trigger phrase at the same point.

[NOTE:]

NOTE: Regardless of which route got you into the bedroom or what version of Allison you saw, if you are on a hypnosis path (and you are the hypnotist), you will text Annie a trigger phrase here. Wait a moment, and you will get a "Read [time]" indicator. The phrase and time change based on your run.

I don't remember seeing it mentioned, and have never gotten this one before, but I got an ending were you also send Paula a trigger phrase (which works) right before sending one to Annie.

My only issue is that with the number of artists we've been through I feel like I need a SJI style character notation at the bottom of the pages. Who's the girl on the cover meant to be? The MC's girlfriend?

I don't remember her name, but Jeremy put the whammy on her a couple of times.  There was a scene in the park where he zapped her and another girl, had a threesome, and set them up to be lesbian lovers.

Script: Daphne • Line Art: Plutonian Knight • Colors and Lettering: Octavia Moon

I got excited for a moment to see an SJI update and then deflated when I saw it was a comment

same. or, at least extremely hard to work off lmao

I just want a small semblance of consistency. I thought we were getting that when SJI was announced to be returning, even though it was once a week instead of twice, but issues have released anywhere from
Wednesday to Thursday, with this week’s still absent.

We’re coming up on the 1 year mark of all this beginning in about two months. While I’m hopeful things might be back to normal before then, I’m not holding my breath.

I rather doubt that. It would have to be something wildly egregious to cause a bunch of artists who have longstanding relationships with MCC to cut ties. Why it is that Expanded Universe and An Education have suspended, and why SJI only managed five new pages after more than half a year fallow, is very unclear, but it seems really unlikely to me that it involves Daphne having offended all her collaborators by advocating for AI. If nothing else, probably somebody involved would have complained about it on social media and we'd have heard about it. But also it's just implausible on the face of it.

I can not help but wonder whether it was use of AI that caused the pipeline issues.

A lot of creatives, visual artists in particular, have strongly negative reactions to generative AI.  I would not be at all surprised if the experimentations around this resulted in some kind of mass exodus.

You don't suddenly have this many artists suddenly stop delivering at almost the same without there being some kind of event triggering it.

I have no idea what it was...
I hope that its been resolved...

But I wouldn't be surprised if it was the AI experimentation.

I don't think I'm seeing an alignment difference, but the images in the page seem now to be being served up to Firefox as webp rather than png. This changed a week or so ago, I think. That could be because of a change in Firefox, but looking online it appears that this is something servers may choose to do if the browser says it can handle webp. The upshot is that if I download the image from a page, it's a significantly smaller file size and significantly worse quality than it used to be (and it's a .webp file). But all of that also applies to the image displayed in the page. I can get the .png file by telling Firefox to open the image in a new window (I think the browser turns off the webp compatibility flag for the request if you do that). But I don't know if doing that is going to trigger any anti-piracy stuff in the delivery system.
