as you may or may not be aware, indie video game and ttrpg marketplace itch.io has recently been pressured by payment processors like Visa Mastercard to remove and delist “explicit content” from their site. this has resulted in, effectively, the mass erasure of works published by lgbtqia+ artists. this is the stated end goal of targeted action against payment processors by the group Collective Shout which angles itself to be “protecting children” by erasing adult content from existence.

obviously that’s bullshit. but there’s some stuff we can do as a community to try and fix this!

payment processors do not give a single shit about the content their products are being used to buy. they only care about liability and shareholders. Collective Shout was able to get Visa Mastercard to act with barely over 1,000 calls that’s less than half of the people in this discord. i know it’s a lot to ask every single person to make a call to their card holder, but if you have the energy i highly highly recommend doing so at either of these numbers

Visa Headquarters: (650) 432-3200 Mastercard Headquarters: (914) 249-2000

here’s a little script to follow if you’d like!

“Hello, my name is _____, and I would like to file a complaint. I find it troubling that Mastercard is blocking content on (the platforms you use) and making it difficult for me to make legal purchases. I am going to stop using Mastercard if this isn’t rescinded and fixed."

if you don’t have a call in you, you can send an email to the addresses below and add your signature to this petition from the ACLU

I think a lot of the Quentin D movies will be hit or miss depending on the person. It is such a strange concept for a film I quite liked but overall not his best work IMO. For more weirdness I gotta recommend Smoking Causes Coughing which I liked a whole lot more

I gotta believe this is a troll post

How is Moonlighter 2? The first one is a game I always felt like I should like but I never really enjoyed the loop of the game for some reason.

Quick, go through their post history and see if they’ve mentioned any Neil Breen films

I quite like Busuu after switching from Duo. Still hanging out for a Japanese Language Transfer course

That was great, the end killed me.

I like this one too https://youtu.be/WtPQ2pxMHEU

I will never understand why people want to eat this godforsaken fish

I had to retake one of my university units over the summer after failing the final exam. It was the most embarrassed I think I’ve been to tell my parents, as I’d always been pretty solid with schoolwork.

In the end everything ended up perfectly fine, parents didn’t give a shit (I was an adult after all) and it made no difference to my future career prospects at all.

That seems pretty reductive IMO. Like RE7 and RE8 are genuinely good returns to form for the series. The RE2 and RE4 releases are remakes which by most standards improve the original releases and bring them into the current generation.

Then throw in the Phoenix Wright games, Monster Hunter games, Dragon’s Dogma games, Street Fighter games, DMC…

I would argue Capcom has been on a tear of very good games, especially in the last 5 years.

So you don’t like turn based games? Unless I’m misunderstanding

You might like FF7 Remake, the combat is sort of a hybrid where it’s mostly realtime but you can give commands via a turn menu mid combat too

Bang on, just a pity so many game devs are still pretty lazy with the support (I get it, it’s still a pretty niche aspect)

Highly recommend Millie Holton’s other stuff like the animated Long Head shorts, especially if you’re into weird Adult Swim type stuff

Props for the Dead Leaves reference, I watched that like 15 years ago and I sometimes forget what it was called but never that specific style. Insane animation.

I recommend Portal Revolution too. It felt closer to a genuine 3 story.

Portal Reloaded was great but also quite complex compared to the first two games and I think most people who liked 1 and 2 would find it frustratingly difficult at times.

Which other countries with stricter gun restrictions than the US regularly have school shootings?

It’s not.

I’m still pretty early on but the dialogue is awful, and the two main characters are authors whose best ideas for novels amount to trolls and cyber ninjas. Not exactly unique or inspiring books guys. (Maybe this is some sort of point or satire I haven’t hit yet but I doubt it)

At least, like It Takes Two, the gameplay is reasonably enjoyable, particularly if you’re playing with someone who doesn’t play games a lot. It’s flashy in that Uncharted sort of way that will make them go “whoa cool”.

Sidenote, are these frames any good? Aura seems to advertise on a few podcasts I listen to but I’m curious how people in the real world feel about them

Kid I knew ripped the IT dept account and password out of Windows using a boot disk and told a few people including me.

You could use the account to remote access any computer on the network. I used it to set a friend of mine’s desktop background to an image I made of the world’s ugliest dogs. Teacher caught me and I fessed up.

Got yanked into the coordinators office and got a big spiel about how the account could have been used to access exams and reports and whatnot. Surprisingly didn’t get in that much trouble since I didn’t really use my great powers for anything crazy. Had to write a letter of apology to the principal and got detention for a bit and that’s it.

Kid who ripped the password didn’t do any time from what I remember. Don’t think I ratted, or at least I hope not.
