We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Reminder that these processors have not yet backed down AT ALL on mass / arbitrary censorship of legal art / expression / transactions
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 one of these massive AAA videogame companies could file suit against the 6-piece Chicken McNobody ringleaders harassing their employees, and that they don't is a choice. I said before of goobergate that the industry enjoys having a bunch of unpaid Pinkertons around too much to ever give it up.
Two months after firing over Charlie Kirk comments, Ghost of Yotei dev blames harassment campaign, not 'bad joke'

They're de-banking people for kink content online now

They'll come for you and your interests next - there's already been movement against vtubers in general, and games like Corpse Party are having their western releases canned over concerns about this stuff

Get loud before it's too late
Friend tried to donate to my Throne, flagged by fraud detection at Bank of America — bank identified the transaction as specially for “giantess voretuber Ana Valens”

I suspect I faced those Patreon / Ko-fi dings b/c financial institutions have me, specifically, on record as a high risk recipient!

Obviously the idea is to let people "just change variables" to style their game, but as soon as you want to do anything other than the default template everything's behavior is totally disjointed and difficult to trace.

Ren'py is fantastic except for the baffling design decision to spread each UI component's style information across three different languages that completely overlap in functionality, and then put each chunk in a different file

I'm so nervous about accidentally putting pressure on people but then you read the actual logs and they're always like "if you are uncomfortable I will stay the same no matter what, you are an object to me"

every time there's a big internet relationship scandal my mind jumps to "am I bad for telling my friends I like them on discord sometimes. better not talk to people" (autism)

it depends on the fae. seelie fae are open source under the Apache license. unseelie fae are reputed to be open source, and sometimes people say the license looks like modified AGPLv4, but no two people remember the exact same license text and everyone remembers at least one anomalous clause
I can't put my finger in exactly why but "are the fae open source" is just a nightmare of a sentence

Just wanted to say: Have been reading versions of this a lot.

If you've survived an abuse situation, you understand the *point* is that he insults her AND that nobody speaks up. Of course nobody does. The entire presentation is the propaganda. It's about the witnesses' compliance and complicity.
I’ve been thinking and it’s kind of exceptional that not a single person said “Hey now” after the piggy comment.

Saw a congressperson posting "Jeffery Epstein can rot in hell". Reflecting on how rules like the one Bluesky has against glorifying deaths, never turn out to be about abstract universal principles as claimed. Always somehow it turns on how some people are Obviously Evil and some are Obviously Good.
