steam has inconsistent policies yadda yadda but the most baffling part of this (to both me and the creators) is that steam said the reason was "sexual content involving a minor" when there are no scenes like that in the game???
Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

I just learned the Bugs Bunny No meme doesn't even come from him saying no. It's a frame rotated 90 degrees from him taking a drink from a bottle. I needed to share this.

I got so stoned at a Mets game once I compared the Jumbotron to the top screen of a Nintendo DS bc it had “a bunch of useful contextual information” and the field to the bottom screen bc “it’s where the game is actually played”

I always am fascinated by about the point the articles makes about how you could change a kid's entire life trajectory forever with the right classic book or album, but meanwhile you try that with a retro game they'll look at you like you have two heads

trying to remember games that have popularity/acclaim from streaming/let's plays/lore vids/~content creation~/etc because if people actually played them they'd realize how much they suck to play. iirc stuff like psychonauts, shenmue, vtmb bloodlines, others?
"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

ffx-2 not cracking 50% kinda makes it clear just how much of "rpg dialog" is just the specified exposition fairy(s) explaining systems, lore, tutorials, etc. to the player
(similarly the later slide contrasting ff with horizon would support this to me since now it's aloy doing the barks nonstop)

like yeah i mean OF COURSE gmail is "reading your mail", how else would it do stuff like apply the spam filters

The gmail smart features thing turns out to be nothing.
Look, guys, you need to not overreact when nothing is actually happening because that just proves our opponents right when they say that we're just dumbasses who don't understand technology.

Looks like the article has been updated to suggest maybe they misread the policy.
I see people complaining that this also disabled their spam filters, though I still see new messages showing up in spam so it's still working fine for me after disabling things.

this has been an issue for a looooooong time, and isn't an adult content issue. anything that could remotely sound like a AML issue would cause them to flag your account www.bbc.com/news/uk-engl...

well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.

After "film trilogy that dropped a critical plot point exclusively via timed Fortnite event" and "video game series whose story only makes sense if you're aware of the events of a canon pachinko machine", I feel like there are whole frontiers of user-hostile narrative design waiting to be explored.

the thing about the roblox interview is that he's more or less just saying out loud what every social media & gacha CEO has been doing for the last 10+ years. selling kids gambling with the minimal legally allowed guardrails is hot profits rn

including review quotes from @solfleet.bsky.social to distribute blame where appropriate :D
