The audacity to call out trumotion when it's blatantly made up motion will always be wild to me.

I'll say it: I think its rly annoying and frankly amateurish that writers are constantly told their villains must be understandable or have sympathetic motivation to be interesting or realistic when all our big villains irl are in fact rich, stupid, selfish, trickster dillweeds and always have been

Per Reddit: Steam adult developer in the UK is sitting on a USD equivalent of six figures, can’t find a bank to take his money because the developer creates adult games

I develop adult video games on Steam. I can't find a bank that will actually let me withdraw my money from Steam. Can I get some advice?
Game has sold quite well on Steam. I've got almost £90,000 ready to withdraw after Steam's cut + VAT taken off.

However, it's been 2 months now and I can't find ANY bank in the UK who will let me withdraw my money from Steam.

I've been banned/refused/unable to get a business account with:

Wise
Revolut
Monzo
Monese
Chase
Starling
Nationwide
Halifax
Barclays
Lloyds
RBS

It always comes down to, "Where did you get this money from?"

"It's coming from games I sell on Steam."

"Can we see the store page?"

"Sure."

"I'm sorry, we can't do business with you at this time."

It keeps coming down to a commercial decision purely because I make adult content.

What the hell am I supposed to do? I've pretty much exhausted the whole banking system. I just want to be able to be paid for products I've sold.

Worse than that I think they're doing "drag is men in womamface" discourse on screen. Which might have been boring and a little eye-rolly 15 years ago, but is like actively transphobic thanks to everything that's happened since.

Like, I don't think your item shouldn't be made! It sounds neat. All things can coexist. D&D is an exceptionally modular system, for better or worse ultimately.

See, this is all well and good, excpet the Combat Wheelchair wasn't an official D&D item, it was a homebrew item created by someone who uses wheelchairs. No one is trying to force you to use their homebrew and there really shouldn't be a rule that every disabled person has to like a design.

It has been upsetting watching the establishment hurl itself at Mamdani but I think the other way to read that is that there really is a *better* politics possible and he shows that it is REAL.

We could have this.

They wouldn't fight it so hard if it wasn't achievable.

I used to get mad when people misused "decimated" to refer to things that weren't 1/10th destroyed, but I've given it some thought and now I've done a complete 360 on it

I think it's because the perspective that considered them exotic was Europeans. And we've just held on to that perspective for centuries.

True!!! I was hyped too! At least you got to do something that stretched your abilities a little maybe. Something to learn from in the future. It might pay off, who knows.

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

Fantasy is a frankly broad category. Game of Thrones is Fantasy and yet Bran Stark remains disabled for the rest of his life after the injury he suffered in the first book.

There are sane people who would remain disabled: the poor and those who fear or stigmatize magic.

No one bats an eye at a D&D/Fantasy character missing an arm or having a giant scar on their face, it only bugs then when severely marginalized disabilities are involved.
