Having a "hey you're about to hit NSFW content" buffer page on a site isn't bad, it helps avoid unknowingly surfing a page in a situation where you'll face consequences for it.
But payment processors forcing sites to randomly terrorize their users IS bad.

Well this is new?? I've never seen itch do an 18+ warning before.
So conveniently when this gets put on my game, my game also can't be purchased anymore?
Like I don't mind the disclaimer, but they also shut off card payments at the same time??

My latest video is a brief overview of some duet games I think slot well into comparisons of Wicked! This is unabashedly an algorithm play, but I still shout out "Tangled Blessings," "Break Up on ReEntry," "A Knife to Your Throat," "Soft Shell," and "It's Been a Long Time Coming."

We've never played Apocalypse World on @friends-table.bsky.social, and yet I think it's pretty fair to say that the show (and a big part of my career) relies on its existence.
Couldn't be more excited for this new edition. And I already have multiple ideas around how we might play it...

I had a rough childhood, if I'm being honest. Yeah, I was the Eraserhead baby. That happened to me. With the scissors and all that. I mean it's fine now, but it was tough for sure. I work in Admin now. We moved out to Abington. It's good now. Go Phils.

hi! yes! strap in!
we might've talked about it before but I hold that rules in RPGs split into basically three categories (per Fine, '83, and Montola, '08):
1. exogenous. rules of the table, as humans.
2. endogenous. rules of the book, as players.
3. diegetic. rules of the world, as characters
