this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

John made every character model in an entire 3d action game. John is amazingly good and amazingly chill. Hire John.

Thousands of projects under the NSFW category have been delisted from Itch.io in response to a crackdown by payment providers.

Here's my initial coverage of the current situation at Itch.io, where pressure from Collective Shout's campaign has led the store to delist ALL NSFW content. Which, of course, has caught up swathes of LGBTQ games.

Even if you don't purchase smut, it should be common sense that the right for anyone else to obtain it shouldn't be completely up to modern day crusaders and credit card payment processors.

In today's payment processor news: Hot on the heels of Steam's adult game bans, @itch.io has taken a massive hit. Collective Shout, the puritan-backed Australian org that claimed victory for the Steam situation said that they were targeting itch too with their petitions to payment processors.

so itchio has shadowbanned any games tagged with 'nsfw', 'adult', or 'erotic' so they don't show up in searches, and several devs have reported that their r18 games have been removed from the site with no warning

We don’t make much that would fall under “adult content”, but I think it is very wrong for payment processors to seize moral control of what can be sold.

‘Adult content’ has long been the canary in the coal mine. And it is wrong and dangerous for art and creators to be attacked this way.

Here's my explanation, James, of exactly what you are currently describing.

I've just created this. This is where I think we are now, and why I am very pessimistic that we will fix the #ClimateCrisis

Hopefully someone can explain why I'm wrong.

The reason crafting is in every game now: It's like money laundering for game designers

Let me explain.
