Quick, cute and kinda creepy M8 jam while I'm waiting to do a podcast chat

About horror sounds in games, appropriately enough 💀

A few of them got it at least.

Sorry, related audio dev rant. 🤣😑🤬

My boss once did an audio demonstration for the other disciplines. Gave them a video, told them to add sounds etc. When it came to the presentation, we'd made changes to the video and not told them, so their sounds were all out of sync and wrong to cries of "that's not fair, you didn't tell us" 😑

I randomly check on other Devs / QA playing the projects I'm on to see if they're listening... so many aren't. To compensate, I've started to play in front of people with my eyes closed or with the monitor off. They soon understand it then...

This is "debanking", and its a problem that has plagued sex workers for decades. It isnt right when its targetting sex workers and its not right when its targetting game devs and creators either.

Give paypros and your givt reps your grievances and demand that debanking of adult content stop

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.

This is actual fascism.
Looking away will not change anything about it.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Considering next week to give my music away for free. With music almost devalued these days by streaming/AI, and with me barely making money on Bandcamp, this seems like the right decision.

You can still support my music by donating here thanks❣️

We're well into October now, which means 10 months of me makin' music for games full time 💖

My dream since FOREVER

And somehow it's happening! My lights are on, I pay for my kid's nursery, it's *real*

But it doesn't happen in a vacuum, it's down to mega support from the best people

Thank you! 🥰

right now we have $466 in sales! i'm not sure if that includes the taxes, and some of the purchases have come in after Bandcamp Friday so i'm also not sure if that's included. regardless, once money starts hitting the PayPal account i will post screenshots of total in and out ❤️
