We are still recruiting game makers who had games posted to Steam or itch.io in July 2025 for a survey on the impacts of NSFW policy changes. More info on the project website. You can also always email me (via the website or through the email on the USask website) for info or with questions.

Don’t wanna sound like an asshole but I don’t understand this whole “it was inevitable” “everyone does it” “no one cares if they do” like have some integrity. Do you believe in anything or do you just exist to mindlessly consume. I CARE and I don’t care if I’m the only one.

I think if you’re the lead of a creative endeavor like a AAA video game and you’re so incapable of delegating aesthetic ideas to artists on your team that you have to resort to the slop machine, you probably shouldn’t have that job

Well put by @drrachelbarr.bsky.social

I would add that the purpose of art is to reflect the world and the culture in it. mood/reference boards has to be of the world to discover and reflect the world. You can't comment on something that isn't there. If you're inspired by the fake and detached, you're mirroring nothing.

Treat artists and writers better and tell #generativeAi to go fuck itself.

I try to focus on posting about art and comics and not my complaints about the state of everything but GOOD GRIEF

Sharing some of my thoughts from the other site but man I'm really pissed off about this shit.

I am beyond pissed that @larianstudios.com would fucking do this. There are so many things wrong with this and it is a bad fucking move to take. Fuck you.

Let me ask you a question. Do you like water and breathable air? Or would you prefer to be able to make Captain Pugwash and Buzz Lightyear do stuff to each other for just $14.99 per month? This is the dilemma of the age, let's debate this endlessly.

Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) was started in 1999 by transgender advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith as a vigil to honor the memory of Rita Hester, a transgender woman who was killed in 1998.

Here's a hot take; women being the main demographic for romantasy doesn't make it feminist and I think people who think that are the kinds of people who think that choice feminism and girl boss feminism are more valid than they actually are. (1) #booktok #booksky #romantasy

The people who continue to defend #Alchemised really need to do some introspection and examine why they think rape and child murder can be justified and romanticized. If you had any kind of media literacy you would understand that this book does nothing but perpetuate harm.

Anyone that supports that disgusting book called #alchemised is another patriarchal bootlicker and conservative woman hater. I am sorry but I don't care that it is fiction it has not separated itself enough from HP to be anything other than really bad fanfiction. Throw it in the bin.

I want to live in a timeline where Heath Ledger was still alive and happy. The world would be a better place. #heathledger #justthoughts

My rage at the machine is palpable. #fuckthegovernment #auspol #eathrich #ifihadagun

My reaction to Australian Labor party and their new 5% deposit scheme. They love to make things worse but pretend that it is better for people. #auspol #australianpolitics #politicalcommentary

We need all hands on deck for this stuff. Do not take for granted the trans porn you have now and want to have in the future. Speak up to your reps!

WHY THE FUCK! Is @bsky.app fucking showing me AI art slop?! This fucking website shouldn't be allowing this crap on their website or is this going through a twitter downfall as well? Fuck off with this shit. #antiai #fuckai #aiart #itsnotartitistheft #fightme

So there is a belated pride festival happening near me that is also happening in October which is spooky time which I love to celebrate. I came up with a costume idea, Campires. Camp vampires. It's genius. If anyone has any sugestions for how to make it work hit me up #pride #spookymonth #vampires

Collective action works. Now, I want to see all of you who left a review do the same with your local reps. Leaving a review takes the same amount of time as an email does and you will be going over all the same points. Even better, print out your email and send it in the mail. Or call!

Noone ever tells you how hard it can be to disconnect and focus on writing and building your story. #novel #books #writing #productivity #neurodivergent

Yet another reason the endless franchises must die.

Day 995 of my cats worming her way onto my desk and sleeping next to me while I work because she just has to be near me. #cats #catlife #kitty #catsky #cat

My @illumicrate.bsky.social Farseer trilogy arrived today and omg it is stunning! I love it so much. #farseer #assassin'sapprentice #booksky

These two are some of the most insistent cats when it comes to getting attention. #catlife #cats #cat #kitty #kitten #catsky

I will forever and always love Vicar Maximillian DeSoto. My partner in unbridled sass. lol. #TheOuterWorlds #VicarMax #StupidityIsNotCoveredUnderYourInsurancePolicy #ObsidianEntertainment

Here is some non-satire for you: Trans rights forever.

The infuriating thing about learning about world history is seeing the patterns that continue to repeat themselves when it comes to capitalism and war, fascism and economical collapse. It is honestly frustrating that greed and hatred are so intrinsically linked. #politics #capitalism

charlie kirk was a bigoted sack of shit and he thought random gun deaths were an acceptable consequence of having the second amendment, i wonder if he revised that opinion in the brief time between getting shot and dying. didn't think your number would come up, didya charlie

I dont know if its an age thing but I feel like weeks are going faster. Like what do you mean its already Sunday?! #midlifecrisis #gettingolder

I forgot to share it earlier but look at this doofus. He flipped the insert out only to use it to sleep on anyway. #dog #dogsky #puppy #doglife #spoilt

So I'm playing #theouterworlds again and I have reignited my love of the snarly ex-con priest that is Maximilian. Good God I really cant not love his stupid face. Urgh *dives head first into the fanfics* #vicarmax #outerworlds

My leg is numb but do you think k this girl cares? #cat #catlike #mycat #kittycuddles

I'm not sad that Kirk is dead, he helped drive marginalised people into a corner. And what happens when you drive people into a corner? They fight back. He had it coming and so do many others. #usapolitics #worldpolitics #translivesmatter #blacklivesmatter #womansrightsmatter

A science based positive reinforcement dog training group I am in had an admin post about Kirk saying the below. Needless to say I left and wont be back. Included also is the page name and rules talk about hypocritical. #positivereinforcementtraining #R+dogtraining

Why is a reply i posted weeks ago full of typos going viral but the more interesting things I have said havent? Make it make sense.

Speaking on this; there's a tumblr post that PERFECTLY explains why TERFs have 'so much reach', and folk need to see it. Stop engaging with TERFS, block them, and get them offline. Likewise, report *their* harmful comments. Organise and be smart.

Finding out Mr. XToon passed away really has me sad today

I gotta say this is the most action I've ever seen from this community! The phonecalls, the petitions, the news coverage - Youtubers ranting about it. It just feels good to see everyone care and work together! We live in frustrating times, but we continue to help each other push forward!

if you value queer games you should defend porn games not because they're a trojan horse to get at the Good, Virtuous Queer Games you like but because pornography is a driver of queer art, as much in games as in any other form 1/

DONT STOP CALLING

for me personally the journey from AFAB to a trans-masc non-binary identity has been fraught with a lot of self-reflection and introspection. Mainly because I too bought into the terf ideology that ALL men are evil and therefore masculinity is also inherently bad. 1- #TRANSMASC #TRANSNONBINARY

To be 100% clear on this: Emails cost them nothing. They can delete them, ignore them, forget they exist, whatever. But there is a dollar cost associated with every single customer service call. That's why most phone trees are over-automated these days. Calling messes up the C/S team goals. #itch

Anyway yes 🖕fuck censorship🖕 🫵 Quote with your filthies 🫵 (collabs w/ @ependa.bsky.social)

Ok I just called Visa since that's my card issuer. 1. Played dumb with frontline customer support ("why can't I buy my friends game on Steam / Itch"). They tried to dump me to email but I escalated to a supervisor. 2. Played smart with the supervisor, and caught them in a lie... 👇

Good morning! I'm sitting down to make a bunch of calls before starting work for the day. Please do the same! This has to be sustained pressure, not just one day. This thread and the document within it are great resources if you need a script or numbers to call / places to email, as is yellat.money

Rest in peace, legend Ozzy. My biggest musical hero. Thank you for everything.
