My Space Quest site, Roger Wilco's Virtual Broomcloset, launched 30 years ago this month. That makes it one of the oldest video game fan sites on the web.

To celebrate the milestone, I've updated the site for the first time in ages with tons of new content. Check it out! wiw.org/~jess/roger.html

The web's first and most comprehensive Space Quest fan site, packed with Easter eggs, trivia, downloads, and retrospectives on Sierra's classic adventure series.

The CEO of Bluesky is craven and evil. The only people that build these platforms are infected with the self-reproducing moral rot of capitalism. They have no sense of duty or stewardship. They see their monetary reward as a cleansing justification for their actions.

Minor update to smzxtest: I added a copyright string (should have done that from the start) and added a brief note to address the 256-color alternating bars result that some laptops get (you have a 800x600+ screen and need to turn off scaled text mode).

github.com/AliceLR/smzx...
A screen capture of smzxtest displaying a 256-color text mode in DOSBox-X 2024.03.01. The primary feature is a large 16x16 grid in the center of the image, displaying 256 colors, with shades increasing in cyan from left-to-right, and increasing in red from top-to-bottom. Various diagnostic text includes: smzxtest Copyright (C) 2024-2025 Lachesis. (GPLv2-or-later) 256 colors, cyan top-right, red bottom-left: works. 256 colors, red top-right, cyan bottom-left: works (wrong mode or shift). 256 colors, alternating bars: laptop not using 8 pixel text mode (try Fn+F8). 16 colors, interlaced bars: doesn't work, no doubling. 16 colors, horizontal bars: doesn't work, doubled left pixel. 16 colors, vertical bars: doesn't work, doubled right pixel. A second image to the right displays a "zoomed" diagram of the text mode character used to generate this palette, with alternating disabled and enabled pixels. The diagnostic text reads "the four bars should be solid white (pixel shift)."

telling your CO/NM/NV/VA/red state friends on social media that they're acceptable sacrifices isn't le epic pwn that you think it is. if you see people trying to astroturf these again, don't spread them
a bsky post with another tiresome liberal secession map of the United States. Canada and several "blue"/"purple" states are colored blue and labeled as Canada; the rest of the US is colored red and labeled "Russia" a bsky post with two image previews. the first is the same liberal secession map, except it's the "United States of Canada" and "Jesusland". there is some text that bsky cropped from the preview trying to justify this in GDP, "finance". the second is a Jean Luc Picard "make it so" reaction image

My statement with regard to itch's new "Adult Content" standard as seen at: itch.io/docs/creators/faq#is-adult-content-allowed, as an artist with work hosted on that site.

Go to yellat.money (pictured) for resources on fighting payment processor censorship!
itch.io just quietly put up their new "Adult Content" standards: itch.io/docs/creators/faq#is-adult-content-allowed Read the whole page. The endgame of puritans using payment procs to censor content is to ban everything but the most anodyne art from sale, SFW or not. To erase the line between fantasy and reality, to then silence real voices. No victim of trauma allowed to make art talking about their experiences. No one allowed to make art to put a spotlight on systemic issues with society. No one allowed to bring powerful people to task for their evil deeds. No one allowed to feature even the mere *discussion* of sensitive topics in their work. What puritan activists *say* they want is to ban "child abuse"; what they *do* is ban anyone from *talking about it*. There are famous books regularly assigned to students in literature classes that would fall under this ban. *The Bible* would be banned from sale for featuring, among other things, sexual violence and sex trafficking. Hell, there are *children's picture books* that would be banned from sale because everything "animal-related" has been lumped in with "bestiality". Puritan activists don't want sensitive topics in art, because that would allow people to call them out for the acts of *real* evil they have committed. That's why they wield the global power of American payment procs to dictate what legal products can or can't be sold: because anything else would squash their efforts before they can start. And it's why we must put a check on that power: it is absurd for a single-digit number of companies in *one nation* to be able to decide what *the world* can buy. Since the last post I wrote on this subject, there is now a page you can visit with details and resources on how you can get involved in protecting queer creators and sex workers from further abuse by payment processors forcing puritan policies on platforms that threaten freedom of expression: yellat.money Follow the guidance on that site, call the payment processors, and do everything else you can do as the page suggests to make your voice heard. Because as this new "Adult Content" standard shows, it won't stop at queer creators and sex workers. This puritan censorship initiative will affect *everyone*. We will make it through. We've done so many times before. But it won't happen unless we *fight*. Stay strong. Screenshot of the website yellat.money, titled: "Protect Queer Creators and Sex Workers! Tell Payment Processors to STOP!". It begins: "Get involved! Here are emails, phone numbers, petitions to use and tell payment processing companies that their policies threaten the livelihoods and safe spaces of queer creators and sex workers." It continues: "IMPORTANT: Wherever you vocalize your frustrations and concerns, be polite and chill when discussing in customer service lines or email inquiries. Do not harass or threaten individuals and workers. Please. If you're a Sex Worker, please avoid directly contacting the companies in question, as exposing details about your shop / services could result in them being deactivated by payment processors in question, especially PayPal and Stripe. Stay safe! When contacting Mastercard, do not let them direct you to their Concierge service." The screenshot ends on part of the site's list of payment processor phone numbers to call, including headquarters and regional phone numbers for Stripe and Mastercard.

Collective Shout, the group that took credit for bullying Mastercard into recently censoring more platforms, stated that apparently it took them ~1000 phonecalls to convince them to give them what they wanted?

We got like way more people than that don't we?
dieselbrain.bsky.social Dieselbrain @dieselbrain.bsky.social · Jul 24
ok then. one angle of attack then needs to be actively bombarding Visa and Mastercard's phone numbers and emails.

are customer support phone numbers/emails the best avenue to start with or is there a better option?

VICE's owner Savage Ventures has requested the removal of my Collective Shout articles. This is due to concerns about the controversial subject matter—not journalistic complaints

Effective immediately, I will no longer contribute to Waypoint. I suggest letting VICE's owner know if this upsets you

stop buying microsoft games
theautumnwright.bsky.social autumn wright 🍂 @theautumnwright.bsky.social · Jul 1
UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese now also names Microsoft among 48 corps aiding the genocide. Based on the reporting from earlier this year but perhaps lends credence beyond BDS's (and my own) claim that Microsoft is complicit.
