It's heartening to see Big Names speak out about this issue, I think it's something artists and creatives from all genres and levels of notoriety can unite on automaton-media.com/en/news/nier...

SO, what should YOU do? Consider supporting the ACLU's campaign against Mastercard's unjust policies that impact this sort of issue.
Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy.
Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

⚠️ A NOTE ABOUT ITCH.IO ⚠️

Dear #GameDev: I'm not going to pretend I know all the details, or that I should be considered an expert, but we need to talk about this situation. 🧵

P.S. - Jump to the end of the thread for what you personally can do to help address the situation.

My overall goal with Blender has been to learn how to create characters and objects to import into Godot for making games. Today I figured that all out! I made a silly little blockhead guy, animated him, and imported him into Godot. Ready to start making 3D games now with Blender assets!

Next up in #Blender adventures: texture painting! I used geometry nodes to distribute the rocks and pavers as well.

So I intend for this account to be primarily focused on game dev, programming, tech, geek culture, gaming, and the like.

All that said, I voted for Kamala, unabashedly and unashamedly. There may be some posts here that celebrate democracy and denounce fascists and totalitarianism.

So one of my kids recently came out as a lesbian.

The kids were watching a cartoon, and the characters came across a volcano. One of them said, "Gaze upon death!"

Recently out kid: "WHAT?!"

Me: "They said 'gaze,' like with your eyes. They weren't saying Gays bring death."

Her: "Oh..But we ARE!"

My kids want to recreate a Castle Crashers/2.5D side scroller beat 'em up game. I am having them draw the characters and art they want. The background is one I drew and we just started the project, but it's happening!
