Common misconception: The game is actually called "Dungeons IN Dragons". You have to explore the massive colon of a dragon.

Adjusting to a new medication, which has kinda knocked me into a vegetative state these past few days. Hopefully, I'll adjust and get back to work soon, starting with the "Ask Mythos Anything" article that's been getting delayed due to my brainfog.

TODAY IS THE ONLY DAY YOU CAN REPOST THIS!!!

Hey! Did you know Mythos is currently on sale for 25% off?! For less than 10 bucks you can experience a murder mystery that may have some sex in it, and also has awful jokes! store.steampowered.com/app/3213410/...

the funny thing about this is folks get RILED UP sayin things like 'if this is true then a painter would be a painter if they never picked up a brush' or 'an actor would be an actor if they never had a role'. YES that is the point. in art the empty space also has meaning. NOT doing also has a shape

A source familiar with internal workings at MasterCard notes the company is paying attention to calls around the payment processor issue. These calls continue to make the company uncomfortable internally

Me making Mythos games for the rest of my life: (Screenshot is from Genshin Impact)

Anyway, here’s your form of consent, Bluesky.

This is an excellent piece by @acvalens.net, highlighting all the ways adult game makers like myself are getting squeezed by nearly impossible requirements imposed by platforms desperately hoping to appease increasingly fickle payment processors

Starting to hear rumblings from organizers, activists, interested parties that they want to advance further on protesting payment processors. Not enough to call, not enough to sign petitions. It’s time to protest in person, IRL at the locations of these businesses — PayPal, Visa, MasterCard

No, it's not an "overpriced sub". It's a premium sandwich for premium eaters.

I was gonna make a smartass repost with a picture of like Yuri on Ice or something, but I'll play along. This time.

They were never going to stop at what was "legal" or not. They didnt to begin with! All art/media is on the chopping block. You have to fight this NOW. keep calling, contact your reps. Make some noise!

I think we can come together as a community and subvert the "I have something important to tell you" hacked account scams by starting a culture of just being upfront and getting to the point in DM's 😀 No more "hey" or "Can I ask you a question" just write a DM like you're writing a letter plEASE

Adult games have *never* received so much mainstream press before, and it's reaching many players for the first time. We can come out of this healthier than ever, but we gotta work for it. Do your dailies! And, stay strong and vigilant about this. We can still do this! ⬇️

Want to search for nsfw games on itch.io? This search database got you covered. Look up goony.dev

This bill would criminalize pornography by legally redefining what it means to be obscene. Period. Full stop. No more porn legally. If you post porn whether free pics or paid vids. this affects you!

I mean... if Mastercard is really worried about things that "hurt their brand", it feels like this is doing them more damage than the nastiest porn imaginable.

Sounds like they're getting antsy. Keep the heat on!!!

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort. It aired in 1990.

MasterCard CLAIMS they are fine with any legal game being sold, but they are secretly forcing censorship of legal games through intermediaries. If MasterCard wants to pretend they aren't for censorship, they need to change rule 5.12.7. (Source: GameDeveloper.com)

Fight the good fight, perverts.

Reminder that we haven't actually seen any results yet. Itch reindexing free NSFW content and Valve making a public statement are not results, they're distractions. The *bare minimum results* is a retraction of the restrictions placed on Itch and Steam.

Morgana: Last night I dreamt I was at a Sleep Token concert and they brought me up on stage to sing with them! Me: Oh, cool. Last night I dreamt I was in the Star Wars universe, but for some reason working at Arby's.

I still refuse to believe this statement is true as Stripe has banned NSFW for basically their entire time operating, and this message seems specifically designed to push blame off of them as they're getting hammered with calls. All the more reason to continue to call and continue to pressure them!

We've managed to keep up the energy to #SaveSpeech for a full week now. I genuinely havent seen this kind of energy to meaningfully target the actual source of internet censorship for the sake of NSFW media before. we still have a long road ahead of us, but I think we can do this.

how do we feel about a strip game where item removals are motivated by reports of how a call to a payment processor went or screenshots of your phone with call times. i'm thinking of using eveline i wouldn't be able to draw/post the first part till tonight but any calls made Today would count

Spotify is now instituting face scans and ID checks ... to listen to music. Porn was only ever the excuse. The only thing that surprises me is how quickly the government surveillance mandate has spread to absolutely every service we use. www.404media.co/spotify-uk-a...

Hello! Are you a digital smut peddler! Do you make games, art, comics, books, or other kinds of kink or adult themed material that you sell? I'd like to talk to you!!! Please get at me via any of the contacts in my bio and please boost!

It is interesting to me how these payment providers caved in the face of a relatively small campaign by a bunch of Christian extremists but won't reverse course after a sustained campaign by a huge number of gamers and supporters

So there's plenty of bad news going around, here's some good stuff; I adopted this lil' guy today! Meet Cecil Perpetua!

Oh look, non-adult games are being affected, too - just in case anybody was in denial about these puritanical fucks stopping with "extreme" porn.

Just discovered this website: Stop Collective Shout stopcollectiveshout.com/evidence-arc...

Oh, I forgot to mention, you can grab Mythos for 24% off to celebrate the French release! Even if you only speak English, now is a good time to grab it! store.steampowered.com/news/app/321... nineofswords.itch.io/mythos-book-...

Mythos, Book One - v 1.1.0.0 French translation is now available on Steam! (Itch update forthcoming) store.steampowered.com/news/app/321...

Welcome to the weekend! You made it sailor. Which censorious payment processor would you like to call first? Thanks to my moot @dieselbrain.bsky.social for the Stripe number, can confirm it works stop-paypros.neocities.org

You don’t have to like, approve of, or engage with porn and nsfw work to see how right wing extremists are using fear and stigma around smut to ban queer people from public life, define “good” sex as only between married people for procreation, and otherwise further force white supremacy on everyone

# to complain to Mastercard, Visa, & Paypal Mastercard (Int.): +1-636-722-7111 Mastercard (US Alt. #): 1-800-627-8372 Mastercard (US): 1-800-307-7309 Mastercard (UK): 0800-96-4767 Mastercard (Aus): 1800-120-113 Visa (US + Can): 1 800 847 2911 Visa (AUS): 1 800 125 440 PayPal: +44-0203-901-7000

called visa. pressed 0 in the phone tree because i didn’t know if visa debit would count. that worked btw and will get you directly to support (after you pick a language). i didn’t give my card number and they still filed a complaint for me. made sure to mention a hate group is involved.

Glad to see Charlie picked up on this! www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSJt...
