obviously the itch guidelines would be reprehensible even if this wasn't the case but it's astounding how much they go out of their way to be vague and nebulous as possible. really showing their hand with all the "pseudo-", "implied", "related", "themes" language

Re: commercial platforms censoring art, this is a surrealist painting I did at 23, called "the rape". It was about my rape at 11, seen through my adult eyes.
If a 23 year old can paint it, if an 11 year old can endure it, then society better grow up and be able to handle it. Bsky will censor this.

Did you know that unionizing the games industry could standardize game crediting? If you worked on a game, you deserve to be properly credited.
I've been negotiating credit inclusion in my contracts, but only this week did someone link me the IGDA Game Crediting Guidelines!
This is a GREAT reference for guidance and negotiation. Sharing it along for anyone else who didn't know this existed!

"Payment Processors", so ya know all the banks/lending companies, Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, etc.
All of this is a way to control what you're able to support, and with LGBTQIA+ games/art/etc being qualified as "adult content" it can (and will) likely be removed too.
Porn/Adult Content is not evil.

After the threadposting last night about a Dokan CD demo of FF7 PC, and peeps having varied memories of what the music sounded like, I was curious to check out how they tallied with my own.
The MIDI experience you got with FF7 could vary greatly depending on what drivers and hardware you had.

Hey, remember when the Panama Papers were released and they showed how basically every wealthy person on the planet was avoiding taxes by offshoring their money and nothing was done about it except the reporter who broke the story was murdered with a car bomb?

The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force.
Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!

Revoking an artist's visa for their speech, no matter how controversial, doesn't make us safe.

one of the many reasons kojima rules is cause he (correctly) identifies the inherent homoeroticism to military tough guy posturing is a feature, not a bug
the funniest part of MGS3 is when snake is like "you jammed your pistol because you used a revolver technique" so ocelot comes back with a fancy revolver and snake goes "engravings don't help you in fights" so ocelot goes out and buys two normal revolvers

After watching the difference between Israel bombing EVERY HOSPITAL in Gaza INTENTIONALLY for TWO YEARS STRAIGHT, and what seems like a Iranian stray missile hitting an Israeli hospital (which is bad, too!) - I'm done with Western media. This isn't journalism. It is complicity in genocide.
