I think it’s great that our media elites have decided that men in their 30s saluting Hitler are just rambunctious kids who got carried away, while 16-year old girls being trafficked and raped by billionaires are “underage women” making informed choices. Definitely reflects well on us as a society.

Indies, there's a lot of beloved franchises out there that are just aching for indie reboots. While the IP is under copyrights the ideas are not; there's no reason we can't have an indie takes on The Sims, Dragon Age, and Mass Effect. The gameplay, the settings, the themes are all free to pick up.

The Sims helped me—and countless other queer players—see ourselves. The new owners could erase that legacy.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

More and more people reporting today that Stripe - the payment processor that Itch said were putting the most pressure on them - now have staff actively confirming that yes, they are censoring LGBT content, adult or otherwise. That this is official company policy.
This seems kinda significant.

Unfortunately, I've had very little luck with exposure, including the gaming press. 😩

In the summers, I give presentations about game dev to high school STEM camps. One of the questions I've had multiple times in the last year or two is: "couldn't you make more money if you added gacha mechanics or psychological tricks to your games?"
