An anonymous adult game developer contacted Steam for further clarification on Steam Early Access launch for NSFW content creators + DLC review for post-content NSFW additions. Here's what Steam said:

IT'S HERE MY PERMASCHEDULE STARTS NEXT WEEK Tuesday: ASMR (6pm EST) Thursday: Sex Ed 101 (6pm EST) Saturday: Variety Stream (11am EST)

For my ASMR fans, what do you like most about my voice? :3

Yeah this reads like Watson's got a gun to her head just out of frame

IDK how much it factors into it, but I'm reminded of the fact the UK has completely batshit libel/slander laws that JKR has weaponized in the past to force people to take down criticisms of her.

If you coddle people and allow them to vote against themselves bc you always have a safety net to save them from the damage they commit to themselves and others, it reinforces the illusions that lead to inevitable harm. If you vote against your own interests, you have to learn you fucked up!

I mentioned this earlier, this response makes more sense if you read it as a statement made under duress — a public figure trying to desperately avoid having her life ruined by someone with a big, hateful following living in mold mansion

I would like the child sacrificed to stop, either by we stop doing them, or we acquire an orb with some kind of enchantment, I don't want to be too prescriptive about it, but an orb or other artifact with magical properties that causes them to stop.

everybody hates these guys, their ideas are stupid, and you do not have to fall into the trap of assuming trump’s win says anything meaningful about what americans actually want. for instance, americans actually don’t want to ban vaccines. they want this guy banished to a desert island

This decision was not made lightly and we are saddened by the political climate that has put so much pressure on adult creators. We stand in solidarity with our fellow game developers and artists who are making similarly difficult decisions. A statement from our studio manager @anthrobrand.com:

This absolutely sucks and is entierly undeserved. The anti-porn charade is impacting many studios and creators that dare make NSFW in similar ways. Midnight release was a wonderful concept that shed light on how sexual pleasure can differ from person to person with their diverse cast of characters.

Paypros censorship is already limiting what kind of art can be made. Customers want to buy it, and developers want to make it, but Mastercard and Visa say NO to adult art made for an adult audience

Development on Midnight Release has been paused. This sucks but I have to put the needs of my staff first. The patreon will stay up, and be filled with new NSFW content, and we will be pivoting to a sfw furry game. Paying my people is important and I don't want anyone at the studio to lose income.

Like I said the other day: there’s a difference between government censorship and private action and the “free speech culture” movement has been steadily obscuring it, naturally leading to this kind of argument.

Correct, and people will erm and umm about this, but it’s true. Some people are terrible at helping others have fun

Whewwww

this has 11,000 now but as many as possible would be the goal!!

Was actually going to post this scene in reference to the shooter’s ideology. I think a prerequisite to understanding this kind of worldview is understanding why this movie took off with so many channer types

“Negative space” is a good description for this kind of ideology. I’d argue this kind of belief system is designed to confuse and evade normies, revel in one’s own alienation and disillusionment

out today on PC & consoles: Mamorukun Recurse!, a deluxe modern port of G.rev & Gulti's Pocky & Rocky-esque overhead free-scrolling STG that includes all the extras & DLC from the various older ports, plus a twin-stick mode, widescreen story mode, etc store.steampowered.com/app/3273980/...

I agree for the next 20 or so years, but I don’t think this will be the case forever. Think of all the conspiratorial waves and moral panics that have spread through the U.S. over the past century. All the moments of significant strife and division. Change, and deprogramming, is possible

If shmups aren't your thing, this might be the best intro to Touhou? It covers several of the main stories from Embodiment of Scarlet Devil (the 6th, and first for Windows) onwards, adapted into the format of the Super Robot Wars games. And according to most SRW fans, it's better than most SRWs.

“we just want to protect kids online!”

Only incompetent and inefficient team managers need this amount of time to make sure what gets done gets done.

I remember this being an issue w/ fanfiction broadly, lots of m/m authors putting f/f tags in with the f/f only getting a casual mention (literally just a mention as something going on in the background), or window dressing as the lesbian best friends to the main couple.

I was on a porn site’s trans section last night looking for giantess porn and it was flooded with trans men using the giantess tag. Way harder to find trans giantess porn of trans girl giantesses. People really just using whatever words to get in front of people now, even if it annoys users

We can call M/M "sapphic" but my book with lesbians doing bondage & discipline and going down on each other has been criticized for using the word "sapphic" because "it's a bit much... and why doesn't she end up with the guy?"

Ah yes. Notorious bed bug Bret Stephens. www.techdirt.com/2019/08/27/d...

I’ve been talking to a number of VTubers with years of experience in the community who just really dislike what ENVTubing has become. “We’re not one big community,” yadda yadda, but the snake behavior and constant drama IS in every subgenre of VTubing. Def driving ppl away

Bret Stephens, have you heard of paypros censorship or—

Catching up on depression cleaning with my week off. Here’s your reminder that no matter how long it’s been, it can be cleaned, and you’ll feel so much better for it (plus free exercise) ❤️

i had high expectations for hades 2. as mechanically impressive as it is most of the time, supergiant’s first sequel never quite reaches the thematic weight of its predecessor, nor the studio’s past work, resulting in missed potential in almost every story beat. my review, and first, for VGC:

Healing from my tooth extraction has been rough, please check out my Ko-fi, perhaps leave a buck? Or just share it around

KEEP THOSE CALLS COMING IN!

Jimmy Kimmel came back last night but the dozens of journalists, professors, and others will not be getting their jobs back. We talked about that and so much more on this week's Cancel Me, Daddy episode.

Genuinely shocking levels of institutional rot going on in the US. The push to 'both sides' every question has left fucking National Public Radio to say "hey maybe tylenol really does cause autism, many people are asking questions"

why don't you come find me on FurAffinity (no I don't do furries, they're just very permissive with freedom of expression and that even includes humans!) #nsfwart is constantly being censored/banned, so make sure to find me on multiple platforms; don't lose me! www.furaffinity.net/user/pixeljail

Browsed that list of top 1000 bsky accounts and I find it very amusing that the first overt porn bot on the list, all the way down in the 300s, is for old ladies. Congrats btw to @acvalens.net for topping the old ladies
