Let's Keep Calling!

Thankfully Canada follows the same rules as the United States (i.e. both chambers have to pass identical bills) so we're not up the proverbial creek YET, but the sooner we let them know we're Absolutely Incandescent about all this, the sooner they'll start reconsidering: sencanada.ca/en/senators/

just who is kaname date anyway #finart #aitsf #aitsfspoilers

We've posted an addendum FAQ to our original blog post about NSFW content. You can read it here: itch.io/updates/upda... Thank you for your patience as we navigate through this. We're upset too. We're doing what we can but there are still many unknowns at this point.

“Please send us emails instead” means “we can put key words from your script on our corporate spam filter and ignore you, but calls shut down our entire contact infrastructure” Keep fucking calling.

⚠️Are you a creator who risks censorship by payment processors whose work is available on their own website, or even just a creator who prefers to distribute independently?⚠️ SHOW ME YOUR WORK!

Somehow, ValiDate was not unlisted on Itch despite all of our tags. fuck censorship, you can pick up a copy for FREE until the 31st enjoy ;) validategame.itch.io/validate-str...

Anyway, time to call and email Visa and Mastercard. I suggest you all do the same. Additionally, sign this petition from the ACLU. Info on contacting Visa/Mastercard: bsky.app/profile/iant... ACLU Petition: action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

Take the energy that's making you want to scream at Itch and instead direct it at Mastercard, Visa, Paypal, Stripe, and, again, the relatively-small collection of Australian Nazis whose values are for some reason reflected in the people who control all of our money

It very literally does not make any sense to be mad at the single-digit team of people who run Itch over this. They would very much like to be able to let people sell transgressive smut, as evidenced by the fact that they allowed people to sell transgressive smut until fascists tattled to Mastercard

I wrote this column and I'll just say that the original headline was much meaner. The piece itself, though, is still very angry and very mean, I assure you.

as a queer person making art i know all too well the ways in which the knife positions itself to come for us all, but man its tiring to see sex workers and pornographers treated exclusively like a kind of unfortunate canary

✨ MY BOOK IS OUT NOW ✨ "Mastering Community Management" is finally here! 😭 Learn what goes into community management for video games from pre- to post-production. ❤️ Get my step-by-step strategy for creating meaningful online spaces! Shares appreciated. AHH!! Buy: www.victoriatran.com/book

At this point it just really doesn't matter anymore how well or badly a game sells. If management feels that number could go up faster by axing 300 jobs that's what they'll do. There's always more profit to be made. It'll never be enough. Absolute fucking bullshit. www.eurogamer.net/studio-behin...

7 colors, pixelart

sent an email to [email protected], strongly suggest other writers, artists, game devs, etc. who give a shit do similarly

UPDATE: I've uploaded my #PixelArt font "Simple Pixels" to my Ko-fi page. Don't worry, it's still free (though donations are appreciated), just visit the page and grab it! ko-fi.com/s/f6aa8541ad

holy shit

preaching to the choir, but this would obviously be financially devastating to many independent comic and game artists using itch to release queer or adult works, myself included - around half of my annual income comes from itch comic sales every year

25K remaining! We can get there!

so itchio has shadowbanned any games tagged with 'nsfw', 'adult', or 'erotic' so they don't show up in searches, and several devs have reported that their r18 games have been removed from the site with no warning

I'm gonna quit games for a little while. Being on vacation and away from constantly worrying about the state of the industry has made me realize I might mentally feel better just working as a boring office clerk or something else mundane.

A friend of mine has been having a pretty nasty streak of bad luck and needs help with end-of-month bills and supporting their family right now. Shares would be appreciated if nothing else 💖 gofund.me/a9bde6fa #mutualaid #gofundme

i think i’m gonna change my name but it seems like such a pain to rebrand online and tell everyone i know that i want to be called smth else now

an ill omen

1/ Dear @MarathonTheGame graphic design lovers. It is time for me to burn some bridges. Because thanks to @4nt1r34l daily posters stolen and put as textures in the game and many other assets utilized, you have created AntirealTheGame. @Bungie @josephacross

twink obliterated

is anyone else having a midlife crisis in their mid-20s

DDBA may have been terrible but at least i have a reason to go rewatch the original series now so i can feel something again
