It's really easy to fall into 'There's nothing good anymore' doomerism right now. That's just your depression talking. Take out the gremlin running your brain and beat it with sticks.
There is an OVERWHELMING amount of cool stuff being made in every medium right now. Algorithms just won't help you.

Someone in my Discord this morning went "there's no good music being made anymore"
Don't give in to thoughts like that, for any kind of art. Even as AI slop is shoved into the forefront, there is, and will always be, actual art that is being made
And tbh its been a great decade for music so far.

The boss bringing out Pizza might as well be Defcon 1 (or whatever) for places like this. Please keep calling! Especially the next 5 days!
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.
What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

hold my hand. I as an ace person give you permission to be ace, to be sex repulsed, to think porn games are icky and yet still believe games with sexual content should exist. it's okay. you're not invalidating yourself by supporting porn games & the people who make them. it's all forms of expression

If you don't get that the "yucky porn games" are the gateway to censor further media that YOU personally think is acceptable, you need to get your head out of your ass. They're trying to divide people into smaller groups so their collective power is also smaller. Kill the cop in your head.
Already seeing folks say, "Well, HORSES isn't YUCKY PORN like other games are, so..." which is super frustrating.
Now is NOT the time to be throwing the hentai games you happen not to like under the bus. Your rage should be directly at payment processors.
