This is dead on. If the Democrats retake the House and Senate--or even just the House--it could mark the beginning of the end of a 50-year Republican project. If they can't? The GOP will spend the next 2 years destroying all remaining guardrails. Most important midterms of our lives, no question.

Now, watch as they refuse Virginia's similar bid.

Discord banned one of our lead devs with a 10+ year account and is still planning to roll out age verification. Don’t buy this.

i have so, so many furious things to say about this but just to scream about one: when corporations declare themselves able to decide what art is or not made specifically for getting off, they are absolutely going to use that power to target even the tamest of queer art first.

Tapping the sign so hard my finger breaks into a million pieces

In regards to Kickstarter: start fucking calling and clog up those lines. This fight ain’t over. Cede no ground. Call PayPal and Stripe too. We go down biting the hand.

In light of the recent policy changes at Kickstarter, we have chosen to postpone our campaign for Monsterhearts: Welcome to Drowned Lake. We support 18+ creators & encourage studios & devs to urge Kickstarter to revert these changes. Please read our full statement here:

A big part of this is Stripe. One of the founders said he wants to outlaw porn. So they are gonna ban as much as they can legally get away with. I know the FCC just sent them, paypal, visa, and mastercard a warning about refusing payment for legal items. So I hope that forces them to back off

NYU caved and ended care and they're still being hit with a grand jury subpoena. It's incredibly clear that no amount of preemptive compliance will stop this attack. You either fight or you will be destroyed by this administration. Caving will not save you.

Re: kickstarter/obscenity: There is no purity test you can pass if someone else decides they don't want you to.

I've been backing stuff on Kickstarter for years. Like, probably over 1,000 projects. Some of them have been adult. I have also been thinking about bringing more of my projects to crowdfund. If Kickstarter isn't going to support the creators I like, then I'm not supporting them anymore.

You might be thinking, 'I make normal games so I'm fine' but, uh, you don't get to decide what 'normal' is – they do. Put any description of queerness or sexual trauma in your game and you've given them cause to boot you from their platform. Voidheart wouldn't pass these guidelines, I think.

it is not too late to make Dollhouse Drama flop less, by the way, it's very good and fun, I think people think they need actual dolls and you DO NOT, you just need to imagine CHANGING CLOTHES AS A SUPERPOWER jen-adcock15.itch.io/dollhouse-dr...

Thanks to @theinstagrahame.bsky.social for turning me on to the term "hobbyless" It's good to know because apparently our Session 0 for Stonetop draws a lot of hobbyless folks in. I am glad we could be here for those in need. youtu.be/ohlTtxgIA0E?...

I poked through this and the number of ttrpg people 4 Pillar Games has AI rendered into a bad youtube thumbnail and then written an incoherent AI article about is quite high.

Warning for board game folks: this site has a list of industry people that uses AI slop for images and bios. I’m trying to figure out how to reach out to them to ask to have the entry on me removed. Wanted to spread awareness on the slop. www.4pillargames.com/about/

Eww eww eww eww eww eww eww eww eww eww eww eww eww eww eww eww eww eww eww eww eww eww eww eww (that's not even my face)

I don’t think we need a product on the market that does this.

Grey is right, the kickstarter video he made is perfect, shows you what you're getting in a pleasant way, in my heart of hearts it feels like a breath of fresh air. Of course the more money we raise the more of a reserve I can build to eventually blow on some exorbitant nonsense-

Setting aside the moral atrocity being committed here: they're burning all of this political capital for one (1) additional Republican seat

So uh fuck that Liberati guy, right?

Maybe we gotta share more of those videos so we can see what not to share.

ok then

fucking awesome

Look if you are a @startplaying.bsky.social GM, there is a server of wanting to play Stonetop #TTRPG thanks to @itsquinns.bsky.social review The game has so much GM support and is great for 4-90ish sessions of play People setting up games will get pretty immediate interest TTRPG.link/stonetop

wasn’t particularly worried before. now… i’m a little worried!

"The Government cannot escape liability for DOGE’s work by scapegoating ChatGPT." A US judge slammed DOGE's use of AI in a decision today blocking the termination of $100M in humanities grants, finding DOGE lacked authority and unlawfully based decisions on race and viewpoint buff.ly/Qw0qcDH

Six months ago, the federal government indicted me, my friend Andre, and four others for protesting ICE. Our trial is this month and we are facing up to $250k in legal debt. Please help us win our case and protect all of our rights by donating to our legal defense: tinyurl.com/katandre

"When I think back to all of my trans friends who are no longer on the internet because it was made unsafe for them, each of them had harassers who acknowledged that harassment against trans women was especially bad but that specific trans woman deserved it." And for our own safety we have to agree

I see no lies here

Always worth remembering; by the way this is NOT the same as a cis white guy getting briefly annoyed by people not agreeing with him when he said dumb stuff; and it's incredibly, INCREDIBLY, insulting for a cishet white dude to adopt this as a mantle of persecution.

Anyone who thinks the US insurrection stopped on January 6th is either incredibly naïve or has not been paying attention Probably both

It's funny how there are several people going "Noooo AI isn't laying off people" meanwhile you see many people here saying "Me and 700 employees were laid off recently after our work was made redundant by AI"

If your brain doesn't make the chemicals it needs, there is nothing shameful or dependent on getting those chemicals from a doctor. Saying elsewise is saying that glasses, shoes, and clothing are all shameful, as our bodies are not naturally equipped to walk on broken glass without injury.

did he see a three piece sectional in the audience and get distracted

Elon Musk famously a man who tweeted that he'd give $3 billion to anyone who could tell him how they'd use it to end world hunger, then ghosted when the World Food Programme sent him their detailed plan. It comes as no surprise that he'd let people--children especially--die.

I am far more excited about THIS than any dnd clone

my heroes are dead and my enemies are in power

Please read this, remember it, and FIGHT, because we’re going to have to rebuild all of the things that were so hard-won between 1965 and 2015.

This is the point that deserves being pounded like a drum, Trump did this in term 1, it was also very bad, farmers just assumed this time, for reasons I will never understand, that Trump would be more generous the next time he did it. Delusion, basically
