much has rightfully been said about the role the storefronts play in strangling the adult content out of games, but i think it's also worth pointing to how restrictive twitch and youtube are, when conventional wisdom is that you need people to stream your game for it to sell well

adult beginner artists struggle to overcome, is the frustration barrier. The self-shame of doing something "incorrectly" or "unsuccessfully" just so completely takes them out. We are so adverse to feeling that sort of discomfort, that giving up (or not trying at all) is the "better" option.

PSA for anyone who needs it:
You are still able to buy Yakuza 0 from GOG in its original form and this is the recommended way to play, the Director's Cut changes some things for the worse.

See here to learn what was changed:

Yakuza 0 Director's Cut makes a great game worse while erasing gaming history
Yakuza 0 Director's Cut is out on Dec. 8. The issue? Its changes are ill-considered, and it's replacing the original on digital storefronts.

Hironobu Sakaguchi, recently, on his X account, has been posting an absolute treasure trove of design docs and promotional materials from early games. These are early design docs from Final Fantasy 3.

Like quite literally, the whole "exploitation of children" nonsense that got Horses banned from Steam started with Valve being insane about Japanese games. These two things are as directly connected as it gets!

This is a fair question to ask, but so is the opposite: do all the people complaining about the censorship of Horses also complain about the censorship of anime titty games and the like? Because you can only truly be against censorship by opposing it with both of these, not just one or the other.

based on how often the naughty teens of major cities throw the rentable scooters directly into the river i've formed a theory that the many iron age swords and cauldrons found in lakes around europe that we've previously assumed were ceremonial and sacrificial in nature were in fact thrown by teens

I'm not an avid reader of Dresden Codak, but one of these days there's got to be a retrospective done on how the drive to root out "male gaze" media in the 2010s ended up causing collateral damage on queer creators.

I think the four pieces I edited by incarcerated queer journalist B Speaks may be the thing I'm proudest of this year. Speaks is an incredible writer, with an ability to take you into the world of the GA prison, and its trans and queer inmates, that takes my breath away.
In August, we got a bit of extra money from a generous donor, and I used it to expand into coverage of trans life in American prisons.

This piece, by incarcerated journalist B Speaks, describes the chaos Georgia's forced detransition regime, currently halted by the courts, wreaked in one prison.

i never groomed a minor, that kid I knew (who I will keep anonymous) suicide baited me constantly, which made me hesitate to unfriend them until I couldn't take it anymore and blocked. i was 19 when this all happened, still in highschool.
you are not immune to propaganda

the propaganda of fucking kiwifarms and other hateful creators that had been bullying a transmasc kid since they were 15. 18 when these allegations were thrown at him.

EIGHTEEN.

Really, actually think about where you get your information from.

The idea of a DVD being "a copy of your favorite movie/TV show that YOU own forever" probably sounds like the ultimate cheat code to the generation who has only know the streaming ecosystem and, as such, more aware of its shortcomings.

"you like this movie, right?"

Yea

"You see how it has all this violence and killing in it"

Yea

"Do you consider yourself, its audience, and the people who made it future or current murders for engaging with this"

Not really

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.
