“Do I wanna have a… bad time?”

Next week is the 10 yr anniversary for Undertale. I’ll be gone, so i’ll play the game for the first time EVER starting tonight! I know nothing about it aside from some memes, and folks say I’d like Sans.
7PM EST, let’s see if it’s worth the hype!

MAKE YOUR CALLS!!!

WHY?
On July 2025, Steam, a popular storefront to purchase games on PC, and itch.io, a storefront that sells
games, comics, tools, resources and much more, have recently delisted several NSFW games, after the
group Collective Shout published an open letter to payment processors such as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal,
and more. As a result of this letter, payment processors have strongarmed Valve and itch.io into enforcing
restrictive new TOS policies on what kind of content their platforms can host and sell.

Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal have been censoring free speech and legal business on the internet for TOO LONG. Their most recent targets are Steam and Itch.io, but they have also been pressuring websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans and MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content platiorms and their users can host and sell.

If we as consumers and creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard.

HOW?
BOMBARD THEM WITH PHONE CALLS
Collective Shout, the organization that lobbied to have Steam and Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa and MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyians to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended perlou, over a mont at the absolute least, will almost gudrantee that these compantes will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. this list is not exhaustive. but some contact points for the 4 targets are:

1. VISA:
(US + Can): +1 [8001-847-2911
US option selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3

2. MASTERCARD:
(US): +1 (8001-307-7309
US option selection for operator: 1-1-2-2-2-1
Phone (outside US): 1-636-722-7111

3. STRIPE:
(Headquarters): +118881 963-8955
(France): +33 805-11-19-67
Stripe: complaints@stripe.com

4. PAYPAL:
(US): +1 (888)-221-1161
(outside US): 1-402-935-2050
Customer Service: +1 (877)-569-1116

"Monsterfy-Me" Commissions I've been doing lately, where I take a character, and give them their more 'nightmare' forms~

I will be opening for 3 more slots over on Patreon and Kofi soon!
If they do not fill up, then I will open to the public~!

"The world stretches, bends, like time itself is fraid to get in my way. I take a step, wind howlin past my ears. My shirt is gone, swapped for gloves, 'n quills sharper than a switchblade. Ain't some washed-up P.I. anymore. Then it clicks like a revolver cockin’ back: I ain’t just me... I’m him."

Photo from 10 years ago picking up a new game after work. Bloodborne legitimately changed my life: Viral cosplay and a thirst for Eldritch horror. Happy birthday 𒉭ᛦ

Having some issues with my PC, my SSD appears to have did out of nowhere and had so much stored on it from games to art to tax info receipts and works I had been writing as well as concept ideas and sheets for my 2.0. I’m really hoping it can be salvaged tomorrow or I’m gonna lose it.

Playing some Fai+h: The Unholy Trinity, so why not dress the part? I hate getting blood out of my clothes, so I appreciate that local priest letting me borrow his duds.
