Nerdy about LucasArts and Sierra video games, Star Wars, architecture, JRR Tolkien. He/him/fhtagn. Also on mastodon.social under the same username.

For several years I believed that LucasArts and other developers had created a secret time-capsule hoard of unreleased video games.
But, as I've said more recently, I no longer believe this. I was wrong. And if I hurt anyone when I suggested that theory, I am profoundly sorry.

Dismaying how even on Eurogamer, a huge chunk of the comments on this article say things like "clearly this developer was making some sort of child porn, so Steam was totally in the right to ban them."
FFS. It's disgusting how many people are Puritans these days.

Next week the House E&C Committee is looking to run something of a shock and awe campaign, debating at least 19 bills that they say are related to "protecting kids online." Most of which are actually about censorship and control. Don't buy the framing. It's always the same damn thing.

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

any excuse they make about why they haven't reversed action is utter nonsense to me. It took a small coalition of a bunch of prudes calling for a couple months to convince them of enacting censorship, but now hundreds of thousands are calling in and they do nothing. They WANTED to do the censorship.

Corporations are relying on shame to stop folks from fighting to keep porn around. An amazing way to fight against this stuff is to simply not be ashamed of sex and sexuality; even if you think some of it is "cringe". You'll do yourself a favor by eliminating your shame about sex.
When you fight censorship, you're also fighting for things you might not exactly like and it's something you gotta get comfortable with. I promise you, the fetish game you turn your nose up at is NOT YOUR ENEMY. You must think of the bigger picture, you must not fall for the bait.

"you have not played the game unless you've played the game" is one of my more annoying but unshakable opinions
the whole "don't play the game, just watch a video on youtube that will explain its story to you" is so disheartening because the issue of accessibility is genuinely really important but it's always just people who want to be spoon-fed nicely quantifiable information
