I thought @idwpublishing.com had the D&D licence. When did you take over? Or is like how you share Star Wars with Marvel?

I imagine they'd be making out if the Techpriest still had a mouth.

I'm finding it a little funny because the title also kind of describes Trails of Cold Steel.

The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures.

This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech!

e-6695 (Consumer protection)

Keywords
Censorship Credit cards Internet Pornography

E-petition
Initiated by Carmen Tam from Waterloo, Ontario

Original language of petition: English
Petition details
Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:

Mastercard, Visa, and other payment platforms have been leveraging their power over consumer ability to purchase legal content;
In 2021, Mastercard changed its policies to regulate adult entertainment by preventing the use of its payment platform on numerous adult entertainment sites;
As of July 2025, video game distribution service Steam now cites rule 15, that “adult only” content is not permitted on the platform if it goes against payment processor’s policies. Steam does not describe what content is defined as “adult only”;
As of July 2025, video game distribution website Itch.io has “deindexed” all adult NSFW content from browse and search pages. Users that previously purchased legitimate video games cannot access games that have been removed; and
This has set an unsettling precedent of corporate censorship, causing concern in video game development teams, including developers, voice actors, and artists in other creative fields as their livelihoods are in limbo.

We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to
1. Stop financial discrimination by payment platforms against legal goods and services;
2. Ensure transparency to consumers about content restrictions and the rationale behind them; and
3. Protect creators' rights to make legal adult content and ensure a fair appeals process for any penalized media.

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators.

And future Final Fantasy games? Summons are a big thing in them.

That still causes problems for franchises like Final Fantasy or Persona.

Oh, did you ever post from the previous YCH?

The funniest thing about machine spirits is that there's an equal possibility they were made up by the technologically illiterate, and that they seriously do exist, give when else we know exists in Warhammer 40k. It's also possible they exist because the technologically illiterate made them up.

As important as empathy is, it's a liability when you're dealing with people who lack it.

Spend so much effort on blocking attacks that you'd be better off just taking the damage.
