Steam intentionally killing an old, respected, and beloved decade old indie game studio through bullshit policy is fucking wild

Payment processors REALLY hate this one weird trick! #SaveSpeech stop-paypros.neocities.org

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

I wonder if the principle issue with having ADHD in society is not necessarily our disorganized processes. But moreso our inability to communicate our experience. Words like "forgetful, lazy, impulsive" imply a negative connotation based on an outsiders view. When really we're just overwhelmed.

We should absolutely see this as a betrayal, and we should vote and act accordingly. @ec.europa.eu has to be held accountable for selling out Europe - and the world at large through it.

Annual reminder about turkey frying safety:

They’re doing eugenics right out in the open now, largely because Trump, RFK Jr, Dr Oz and the rest of the fascists have been pushing a eugenicist agenda since they seized control. It’s white Christian nationalism and it’s dangerous. Disabled people are not “imperfect”. We are also not expendable

This Way Madness Lies is a great game and barely anybody bought it. It should be played by more people. If everybody here on @bsky.app banded together and bought a Steam copy and played it, well, that'd be a miracle and I would be forever grateful. store.steampowered.com/app/1318970/...

The amount of damage the Western world inflicts on itself to enable a genocidal Israel is historical. Financial damage, cultural damage, legal damage, reputational damage, and voluntarily opening their own people up to danger - all so the Israelis can murder. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The US is a hostile entity, and Europe would do well to treat it as such. www.forbes.com/sites/maryro...

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.

Shot + chaser

Further information on why this could potentially be a whistleblowing feature for NSFW businesses, the comments on this post have been slowly whittling down the people who are affected/able to see/turn off this feature as "Only Business accounts in the United States". ...Which is telling, I feel.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

Grok has been reprogrammed to say Musk is better than everyone at everything, including blowjobs, piss drinking, playing quarterback, conquering Europe, etc.

only 2 months ago, pro-Palestinian protesters at La Vuelta were being told that protesting a bike race won’t make a difference today, the team they were protesting announced that they’ve dumped their owner, rebranded and registered in a new country procyclinguk.com/nsn-cycling-...

ARTISTS! You can DISABLE this feature! Protect yourself and don't assume that you're safe if you're an sfw artist!

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices. If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

My least favorite genre of trans person is the kind who sees another trans person being happy and says "If I can't be happy, you can't be either," and does what they can to bring down every trans person around them.

Remember: don't eat the mid tier fast food chicken, don't play the wizard game, don't shop at the hobby store run by the bad guys from Indiana Jones, and don't donate to the bigot bucket.

When I argue against AI, I'm always met with "Oh, but you already use AI. It's in this and this and this other thing." But I either do NOT use the thing or only interact with it because it's been forced into my life. I want it gone!

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

#SaveSpeech if you've seen a video going around of Epstein survivors talking about their abuse, you need to be aware that video is promoting World-Without-Exploitation, an organization whose website supports legislation like KOSA, and advocates for the "Nordic model" they are not your allies.

Today there was an attempted ICE raid in Bensonhurst & community members showed up. Even though NYPD collaborated with ICE by trying to disburse the crowd; community members stood their ground & ICE left without kidnapping a single person per the rapid response groups I'm on. We protect us!

Frankly I'm of the opinion that countries that claim to be queer-friendly should just start allowing trans people in no questions asked.

I lost a job for calling Charlie Kirk a Nazi, but this is cool.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

Know what would be really nice right about now? A wild sex party full of consenting adults

A friend of mine is a teacher and accidentally bought some AI art and got completely roasted for it by her students. The youth hate AI and it gives me some hope. The youth give me hope in general.

Bluesky Support has suspended this furry congressional candidate's account for no apparent reason. They want to limit his reach and kill his campaign, presumably for not being whatever they consider "advertiser friendly". We really need to get loud about this, and not let them get away with it

You can love someone you love even if you don't love yourself🏳️‍⚧️ But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold. So take care of yourself. Your soul is beautiful.

Good god, they’ve *always* been like this 😡 The New York Times, January 19, 1859 www.nytimes.com/1859/01/19/a... [Reposted with alt-text]

I'm not surprised given the view I have of The Game Awards, but it's still disappointing that Hundred Line, Look Outside, and Trails in the Sky First Chapter didn't get ANY nominations. And when AA budgeted games like Clair Obscur are in the indie category, what's even the point of the category?

Bluesky has finally, quietly posted a position for a one-year remote contract Policy Lead, Trust & Safety position. Trans people who qualify, apply here: jobs.gem.com/bluesky/am9i... We need someone competent in this role if this place is going to survive.

The annoying thing about the "oh we left a placeholder" generative AI slop excuse is that that is EXACTLY NOT how you should be using placeholders. Anything "not obviously terrible with a panicked hurried half-awake glance" is getting shipped.

This is because Arrowhead are "waiting for the courts to decide what is fair use" per the article. They're ready and willing to jump on the slop train. Generative AI is theft and i'm tired of people telling me I shouldn't care. They're so desperate to normalise it which is exactly why we shouldn't.

if he's that fuckin' rich, can't he hire lawyers to stop the paypros from attacking & delisting steam's adult games?

A hill I will die on is that you cannot be pro-Black and anti-queer at the same time. Because queerness is more of an affirmation of our humanity than whatever bullshit colonizers violently enforced globally.

Billionaires don't need more yachts, but an increase to the royalty rate on Steam would be life-changing for many small indie devs.

thing about autism is if you work really hard for many years, you can learn through trial-and-error how to navigate social situations and interpersonal connections SO effectively that people don't really believe you're autistic anymore and resent you for not being perfect at nonverbal communication

bat toxic 🦇

‘The Owl House’ creator Dana Terrace responds to Disney+ funding AI-generated short form content in new tweet: “Unsubscribe from Disney+. Pirate Owl House. I don’t care. Fuck gen AI.”

Banks are targeting individuals by name because of their "high risk" line of work who are too outspoken. This is why we need you to stand up for nsfw creators

The thing about elon going to epstein island in 2014 is that Epstein very publicly became a registered convicted sex offender in 2008, 6 years earlier. Note: Epstein set up Elon's brother Kimbal with a girlfriend in 2011, 3 years after Epstein became a registered convicted sex offender.

It is positively dumbfounding to me that literally ANYONE still has Alexa in their homes, neverminded that they're lining up to buy literal surveillance sunglasses

while I am glad the new Pope is pro immigration, important to point out that the American Catholic Church has its sights set on killing my friends

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
