UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I do not understand these people who demand closure, whether it’s a book or an author stating the book will never exist. Like it’s painful for these people for a story to be half finished. I love half finished stories. There have been so many in my life, it’s wonderful to revisit them.

These are the engines used for a game jam, not "professional shipped titles" - but I think it demostrates how much Godot is getting increased mind share with developers. I'm suprised Unreal is so low, but perhaps thats an artifact of this being a quick iteration game jam not long term projects.

Steam and

have removed thousands of video games in recent weeks deemed to be "adult content" in order to comply with strict rules from payment processors like Mastercard. These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.

This censorship of "adult" content in games must be stopped. You may think you don't care about "pornography" in games, but you must understand how so many stories made by and for LGBT people have been labeled as "adult" content. These payment processors are preventing ANYONE from legal art.
