With Tron back in the spotlight, Legacy for love and #tronares for, uhhhhhhhh well not that. I am here to remind everyone that the best thing to ever come out of Tron as a property is the Tron Uprising Cartoon. And a big reason is it has a gleefully horny Villain x Hero thing going on. Hope on peak

(3 months late) Getting to animate on a proper Crash episode was so cool. RVB is so foundational to me, and CRASH picking up the torch for it, never thought I would get to work on something like this. Especially with how awful things have been in #animation lately

A source familiar with internal workings at MasterCard notes the company is paying attention to calls around the payment processor issue. These calls continue to make the company uncomfortable internally

It's strange, but I truly thing the best bit of animation I have done up to this point is her hair in this shot, particularly the end when she snaps into fighting stance. All hand animated. Am I out of my mind for being so pleased with it? #animation

Its hard to understate how god fucking awful things are in the #animation industry at the moment, so good news however small is extra important right now. Joining @b00mrang.bsky.social's CRASH Machinima team has been an amazing experience. Couldn't ask for a better crew

Adult games can no longer launch in Early Access on Steam. This is devastating for small projects (like my own!) because EA can be a much-needed lifeline while games are still in development

Heavy Hearts dev Dammitbird received the following notice from Steam, noting “your app has failed our review because we're unable to support the Early Access model of development for a game with mature themes”

This strikes me as overcompliance and censorious on Steam’s part

Dammitbird @GalewindG

According to steam, early access is no longer an option for games with "mature themes" The culling of adult games continues.

Oh my gosh, getting in touch with the BBB WORKED. PayPal is restoring my account and I should have access to my money again.

If you are in the US or deal with the US PayPal and your account is randomly, without warning, and without explanation closed down, file a complaint with the BBB!

Paypal ramps up NSFW censorship by beginning to go after not just adult creators but also customers.

In a lot of ways, this is even more terrifying than the adult creator bans. With them, it's only me at risk, but how do I navigate a space where putting a game on Itch might put customers at risk?

PayPal user in the UK lost their account after buying adult ebooks “about monsters and milking,” “some dubcon stuff”

“My account got banned a couple of days ago for making purchases which violate the ToS. Upon querying w/ staff over the phone I've been told that it was ebooks that I've been buying”

My Paypl account has been banned for buying smutty e-books. Have I done something illegal?

My account got banned a couple of days ago for making purchases which violate the terms of service.
Upon querying with staff over the phone l've been told that it was e-books that l've been buying.
I'm panicking a little bit right now. I haven't done anything illegal have I? The books were mostly stuff about monsters and milking. Some dub-con stuff.
If it is illegal, what do I need ot do to protect myself? Do I delete my e-books?
If the e-books aren't illegal then is the company really allowed to tell me how I'm allowed to spend my money?
Like, is this any different to Halifax or Nationwide forbidding me from buying cigarettes or alcohol at Tesocs?
I'm in England.

Thats fine. its hardly a game breaker or anything, Could have been far worse, like I said I enjoy it all as individual parts, but as a total package I just found it to be to idealistic and jarring when going up against the new world building. Still a really special game
