In this video, Alanah Pearce explains the issue with HORSES' ban better than we ever could. Thank you so, so much 🙏
Games are constantly under attack for doing things other mediums have tackled for decades as if it's some new taboo.

Just watched @charalanahzard.bsky.social video that sums things up more eloquently youtu.be/G-7r9pL0Hqo?...

#Indiedev should be talking more about the freedom of the artform.

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

If you want to help a broke trans woman avoid getting ripped off by Valve, my comedy game Landlord Quest is also available on Itch!

bonus: buying on Itch gives you a windows exe, *and* a ScummVM package so you can play on Mac, mobile, and even certain modded consoles!

A Spellpunk RPG set in a modern world much like our own, but with magic in the open.

Build a wizard out of 15 different templates, work in the gig economy, realize it's a scam, destroy capitalism.

What more could you ask for?

It's creator day on itch where they don't take their usual cut so now is a great time to pick up 4 great games for the price of 1 itch.io/s/169922/kit...
it's generic late november discounts time! kitsune tails is 33% off, its biggest discount yet, but if you buy the bundle you get all our games for the price of one full price copy of kitsune tails: itch.io/s/169922/kit...

Haven't discounted my games on itch, but if you buy a copy of Virtue's Heaven at full price, you're effectively gifting a free copy to someone who cannot afford it (=buying the game adds a community copy):

the more Valve tightens its ever-increasing deathgrip on the indie game creator distribution pipeline, it becomes more important to support creators on alternative marketplaces like itch.

The thing about being a trans woman is that there's literally nothing you can do to keep scary people from hating you and wanting you to die. You might as well be a completely authentic freak pervert, because no matter how polite and withdrawn you are they will hate you anyway.

Guys, as a ex call center employee, this is fucking DESPERATION BEHAVIOR.

Pizza and ice cream once may be an entire year's planned discretionary budget for a team, they do NOT value them enough to provide common comfort. If their doing this? Their not just scared, their TERRIFIED.
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.

What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

42 years later and I think maybe a dozen or so 70s TTL games are playable via mame or fpga platforms. The process is tricky and needs very specialized skills and specific information… but frankly I don’t know how many more decades these surviving machines still have in them.
This line from Video Games (Apr 83) was too prescient. One of the more frustrating things to me about the state of video game preservation is what feels like a general lack of interest in pre-'80s games; I will never stop banging the drum about the importance of '70s games (especially Death Race).
