Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

I am sad about the state of technology. Tech used to be new and exciting and creative and full of potential, the future was bright and beautiful. Now the future is here, and tech is doing everything it can to push out all sense of humanity and take over every single facet of one's life.

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

HUNTRIX! ✨💜 #lowpoly #kpdh

Because the entire UK political and media apparatus is on twitter reading the firehouse of bullshit jettisoned from the US and thinking that's what's most important to people who live in Midsomer Norton.

Being informed that DC has cancelled Gretchen Felker-Martin's work to appease the whiners of the world. Should be a reminder for folks as to what Corporate IP comics actually are, because ppl forget and act like these enterprises are progressive to justify their consumption.

good post breaking down how payment processors work, what itch could practically do, etc voidfox.com/blog/payment...

Holy shit Keep calling We’re going to win

Im so tired

Finally took out the wearable game I've been working on! It's at a level where I can take it into the outside world and begin testing it.

Made this little guy for my twin's birthday :> It's a small figurine inspired by his cat to decorate his desk.

Seriously, this is how to contact Visa's board of directors. It's supposed to be for investors. If it's flooded though they can't accept investor bids. Please get this around, they basically said they're gonna keep censoring our purchases. investor.visa.com/corporate-go...

All #PixelArt enjoyers are awesome!

I just finished making a high fidelity prototype of the wearable game I've been brainstorming for the past couple of years. Can't wait to take it around town and try it out.

Putting aside that the generated output will be absolute dogshit, the idea of collectively built fiction that is wholly owned by megacorporations is inescapably dystopian.

Those who've never worked in a call center, this is absolutely proof that the pressure is building. That's things that under normal circumstances never happen without disciplinary action on the employee, so the fact it's happening repeatedly means that management is feeling the strain.

Well said!!

I got this response from Stripe which contains some serious deflecting. They are simply unwilling to defend their policy on the merits.

I'm now getting this from some creators' pages on @itch.io. 🤔

Good morning fellow "British" people. Dropping these links for no particular reason at all: mullvad.net/en protonvpn.com

Hey, as someone who makes a living off selling adult games, I would really appreciate people helping to push back against censorship by payment processors. These puritanical extremists pressuring them have been successful because they've made a lot of noise, so we should be making even more noise!

To everyone who wants Visa and Mastercard to stop screwing with our platforms: This thread contains everything you need to fight back! - A script - Form links - Email addresses - Phone numbers - Petitions - and more! Let's flood these fuckers with complaints until they get the message!

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...

This history of art in America is the history of defending against censorship of art against charges of obscenity. From the weaponization of the post office in the 20th century to payment processor weaponization now, these folks endeavor to use distribution bottlenecks to limit speech.

For reals. Humanity has had access to ChatGPT for several years now and no one has generated a single piece of creative art or media that has had any impact whatsoever. If ChatGPT did what they say it does, we would be witnessing a huge influx of culture shattering novels, movies, etc.

Using my Jumperless for prototyping #jumperlessv5

I self-published Without a Dawn in May. I made zero compromises, and I couldn't be happier how it turned out: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... 💛💚 Unfortunately, I've had very little luck with exposure, including the gaming press. 😩 #visualnovel #gamedev #steam

Study finds A.I. LLMs advise women to ask for lower salaries than men. When prompted w/ a user profile of same education, experience & job role, differing only by gender, ChatGPT advised the female applicant to request $280K salary; Male applicant=$400K. thenextweb.com/news/chatgpt...
