Tan's Party Trick! Now voiced by the wonderful Ani_Seadragon and Mieraleeeem (both on Twitter). Now we can all rejoice in the auditory nirvana that is Hypno-tan's crazed laugh.

People bring up Sisyphus a lot. But what did he do that earned him his punishment? Told the father of a kidnapped daughter Zeus took her. Then he bound death itself so no one could die. Then he tricked Hades and returned to life. That's why that King rolls that boulder. He rocks!

Whether or not this is new or old information, or the vagueness in the wording, its important to vocalize to bsky the concerns and issues, else it will just get worse.

Also do you remember how the Westborough Baptist Church celebrated and protested at funerals, and everyone thought they were dicks?
Yeah. Don't be like them. You might have a legal right to be a prick, but don't be surprised if people are pissed that you're celebrating murder.

You deserve to have your voice heard and say what you want to say. You should be responsible with this power, just as you have to be responsible if you're a gun owner. But a right is a right, and you deserve to exercise it.
Visa and Mastercard do NOT deserve to police our rights!

I am a rarity in this era; I'm a classic advocate of free speech. Yes that includes your speech. Yes, that includes their speech. It ESPECIALLY includes speech that I don't like. There are limits - don't shout fire in a crowded theater, don't call for murder, etc. But free speech is good.

I just harvested a bunch of catnip from my catnip farm and now everything reeks of catnip.

Visa recently decided you're not allowed to have faeries or catgirls in your games. This was never really about banning incest and rape games. It was always about slowly escalating until they kill our entire adult games industry.

Then they're coming for regular games too.

Don't get complacent just because Canada, Australia, and the UK has petitions going around right now (look at my feed for the link) we in the US need to do our part and keep the pressure on them and our own reps both to kill the bills currently in Congress we can do it! #SaveSpeech

An illustration by Spindle of the character Kitt (Katarina) laying down on beach on he stomach, topless, while smiling at the camera/viewer. She's wearing a straw hat with a white-dotted yellow ribbon and green feathers; while holding an amogus ice cream.
In the background Asimov can be seen, topless, hiding her breasts, as she's chasing Ottilie, who's carrying Asi's bikini top. Further more in the background planetary rings can be seen

I approve of Silksong's price. OG Snow Daze is still my best selling game and I only sell it for $10 at most, when it's not on sale.
People complaining should learn how to budget their studio properly and stop being greedy.

Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.

ATTENTION BRITAIN! 🇬🇧

Australians, spread this petition far and wide. Demands Parliament “open anti-trust investigations and penalize the unregulated monopoly of a key part of everyday infrastructure,” as “payment processors are not there to regulate what legal content people consume.”

Petition EN7799 - Stop VISA and
MASTERCARD from dictating access to Legal Content.
Petition Status
The petition is currently open for signatures

一雪一〇
PRESENTED RESPONDED
Petition Reason
VISA and MASTERCARD control the payment processor market, in a monopoly, that is not regulated in the least. These companies openly dictate access to services, sales, or operations, of legal items, or legal businesses, based on their own political views. Credit Card Processors should only be there to process legal transactions, and not dictate what someone spends their money on. VISA and MASTERCARD are so big and control a market that can be equated to a utility. There are no alternatives widely available in the market, despite these companies acting as a key part of all payment infrastructure. just like water companies or electricity providers are regulated to prevent them from stopping service based on arbitrary views,
VISA and MASTERCARD should be held to the same standard.

WHAT TO DO
Card
MASTERCARD
+
VISA
Visa and Mastercard have long histories with pressuring platforms that host and sell adult content. Most recently, they have pressured Steam and Itch.io, leading to dozens if not hundreds of games being delisted, and their TOS now updated with draconian content standards.
MASTERCARD
(US) +1 (800)-307-7309

VISA

Your goal is mostly to waste their time and therefore their money.
Pose as a confused customer "just asking for clarification" about things relating to the Itch/Steam censorship controversy.
Paypro
PAYPAL
+
STRIPE
Paypal and Stripe have their own histories with action against adult content. Like the credit card companies, they have both pressured Steam and Itch.io, with Itch calling out Stripe as a priority target, and Steam no longer being able to process certain currencies using Paypal.
PAYPAL

Both Paypal and Stripe have indicated that their banking partners have also been a source of ant- Adult Content pressure.
