In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

30 - Fighting Fantasy, The Introductory RPG (1983) was literally decades ahead of it's time. The rest of the industry head to go through 80s maximalist simulation, 90s confused smoke & mirrors mega plots and 00s storygames before they came back to light play-focused games like this.

Steam and itch.io have removed thousands of video games in recent weeks deemed to be "adult content" in order to comply with strict rules from payment processors like Mastercard.
These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.

Why did thousands of adult titles just disappear from the biggest PC gaming marketplaces?
Digital distribution platforms Steam and itch.io have tightened their rules about adult content – under pressure from payment processors. Why has this happened and where will it lead?

RFC 2119 is the one that defines the meaning of the terms "MUST", "SHOULD", "MAY" etc. in technical documents.
This guy hired a voice actor to read RFC 2119 in the most sarcastic, passive-agressive way possible.
