Gmk red dragon isn't r2, neither is Kat mizu afaik. Kat mizu had a diff mfg.

Idk man. But from what I was told and what I inferred, the process basically is the creator asks for samples. Then the mfg makes them and sends to the creator. Then the creator looks at them, says that so and so color does not match their specs, the font is too weird, the color bleeds, there's some issue with the whatever, etc. Then the mfg does it all over again. And everytime takes a long time coz there's probably a bunch of the mfg's own orders + a hundred other GBs that's also doing the same thing +the order fulfillment of another hundred GBs.

Color matching takes an ungodly and sometimes unreasonable amount of time. Idk if it was KAT Mizu or GMK Red Dragon that was color-matched 3 or more times, and each time it took like 3-6 months turnaround time. Plus covid. Plus something wrong happening in the factory, etc etc. Plus, idk anymore ._.

I don't think they need donations. But vets or people who work with animals suffer from such bouts of depression and trauma that vets disproportionately fall to suicide more than the general population (1 in 6 vets in the US have contemplated suicide, and are between 1.6 to 2.4 times more likely to commit suicide than the Gen pop). Which makes sense considering the nature of their job. So it's probably sth to show appreciation and support for the vets.
