I had the wonderful opportunity to be a part of this. I recommend all of you to give it a read as it dives into the livelihoods of creators affected by the deindexing.

Thanks again @radiantg.bsky.social for letting me be a part of this.

Itch.io deindexed adult, LGBTQIA+ and Furry media en masse across their site on July 23 due to pressure from payment processors, so creators are speaking up.

Highly recommend!

I was given the @chequered.ink font pack for an article I did, but I’ve also used these fonts a lot since

Saw my workshop at #PAXEast? It was there. Been using it online too

I didn’t intend to get so much use out of it after covering it, just goes to show how good their work is!

my personal idea for games media is that future publications should not merely aspire to be games publications, but arts and culture ones. Games-focused shops should still exist, but I think one path forward is to start with the argument we’ve been making: that games are part of culture
