Infinite Paths
A solo TTRPG system
www.kickstarter.com
The Kickstarter for Infinite Paths by @jamiethul.bsky.social launched! I'm illustrating this project alongside @nimael.itch.io, with @leafydragongames.bsky.social publishing. It's a solo TTRPG system built for flexibility and depth. Back if that appeals to you!

I understand people's fascination with cults. I do. But I wish that when people talk about cults, they keep in mind that they might be talking to or in front of a cult survivor. For some of us, that shit isn't simply bizarre factoids / entertainment / "cool" enemy types

Sure! Mastercard, Visa, Stripe + Paypal are further restricting what kinds of perfectly legal adult content you can buy through their processor (they cracked down on itchio and steam over the summer, not to mention Patreon a few years ago). We're tired of them acting like dictators instead of tools.
I don’t happen to have a Mastercard, but can you remind me why I’d be upset with them if I did?

No email from a library system stirs the imagination like a notice my scan is ready to download through WORLDCAT. The great cat that surrounds the world? That nuzzles the roots of the world-scratching-tree? The great world cat who is and was and shall be? That cat???

Sometimes, I read posts that clearly contain strongly-held opinions, but I don't understand what's being asserted... so I do not reply

idea: kuleshov tarot. every card is a black-and-white picture of a man staring at you. each card has an unique back design, but there is no indication of *which* card it is beyond this

(1/4) Check quoted thread for resources -- phone numbers, call script guidance, additional websites you can reference for help with this.
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

Just got to meet Natalie briefly and chat about this at Pax U! Seems rad as hell. The project is funded, but there are stretch goals!
Last Kiss by @brianliberge.bsky.social and published by Luck of the Harbor will be coming to BackerKit on November 10th!
It's a game about identity, authority, sexuality, and hopelessness.

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art.
Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.

Vine is being rebooted under the name diVine, with funding from Twitter’s former CEO Jack Dorsey.
The app plans to feature more than 10,000 previously archived Vines and does not allow AI-generated content.

Clarification: Accepting payments for commissions through Friends & Family is against TOS (which you agree to by making an account), and it is TAX FRAUD.
Do not ask for comm payments via F & F. Dont let an artist convince you to pay this way, because your account can be taken down as well.

Lots of "don't write 'commission' in PayPal's feedback box for invoices" misinfo/fearmongering going around.
Yes, PayPal is censoring nsfw/queer artists like other payment processors. No, the word 'commission' will not get you flagged unless youre taking Friends & Family payments for commissions.
