This weekend's other Big TV Event (the gayest episode of Iruma-kun yet) wasn't quite as thrilling as it could have been (they did a great job adding onto Iruma and Azz's date, but I'll always prefer the manga scanlation's choice of "Soulmate" over something as bland as "Best Friend"), but still fun~

A gag panel from the fan scanlation of Iruma-kun, talking about how they chose to translate the Japanese word "Shinyuu" to "Soulmate" instead of the dozen or so other viable options, including the much weaker "Best Friend" that the Anime sub team chose

Man... what an incredibly good time. Mina the Hollower is absolutely one of the best games I've enjoyed in a long, long while, even with the secrets and surprises that I know I still haven't seen~ Yacht Club are all-timers, now and always~ <3

868-Back is a delightful, complicated lil hacking/puzzle game with themes I adore, and Snacktorio is an extremely smart, tight 2D factory sim with excellent stakes & setting (esp for this genre!). Love em both! steampowered.com/app/3304110 (868) steampowered.com/app/1902940 (S)

I *had* heard of both Pragmata and Monster Hunter Stories 3 before, didn't expect to like em, and fell totally in love! So much charm, style and inventiveness, esp for AAA games! Can't wait for release! steampowered.com/app/3357650 (P) steampowered.com/app/2852190 (MHS3)

Man, @panikarcade.bsky.social 's Cloverpit is so damn good... mangled together a riddiculous build on my 2nd run and damn if that wasn't one of the most satisfying, hilarious roguelike runs of my life~ Brilliant game, full-throated recommendation store.steampowered.com/app/3314790/...

One of the most important points I've seen for fighting the bans imo As far as what to actually say re: "If you don't change your ways, I'll...", saying that you'll make regulating and breaking Visa and Mastercard up a permanent part of your political identity & activism sounds way more effective

Things YOU can do to Counteract Payment Processors Harming Itch.io
Do you want to actually DO something about the payment processor attacks on creators?

This is a list of steps people can take, made to the best of my ability. This isn't comprehensive and I appreciate suggestions. Please share feedback as long as its constructive. I understand that some are in favor of the censorship, I just ask you please understand this is not a thread to argue either stance.

Some consider it a longshot, but I think contacting payment processors is a very worthwhile endeavor if done well:
You shouldn't just say you're disappointed and will not use their services anymore. Not that. We should tell them quite bluntly that if they continue this stupidity of infringing on people's law-abiding activities and speech by with these thuggish tactics of financially barring platforms, you will make it a permanent part of your political identity to seek to have them broken up as monopolies. Tell them you believe their actions are illegal, and that you will actively seek out and press the idea to as many opportunistic law firms as you can and try to kick off a class-action suit against them. Tell them you'll support forever support any regulations against them. Below I'll post some direct contact details and forms. Visa allows all members of their board (including Chairman) be contacted.

Example complaint letter to Visa:
To the Board of Directors of Visa Inc.,

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding Visa’s recent actions in pressuring the online gaming platforms Itch.io and Steam to remove certain games from sale. The targeted titles—fictional, animated, and clearly protected by existing laws regarding content creation and distribution—are fully lawful to possess, purchase, and produce. Your decision to enforce restrictions against them constitutes not only overreach but a clear suppression of legal expression.

Such conduct, particularly when exercised by a corporation with Visa’s scale and influence, raises grave concerns about monopolistic behavior and abuse of market power. The absence of real individuals in the content being penalized makes your intervention all the more troubling, and I am convinced that your restrictions do not reflect moral concern but a harmful misuse of leverage over digital marketplaces.

This issue is not merely of personal interest to me—it will define part of my political identity going forward. I intend to pursue every appropriate avenue to hold Visa accountable, including:

1.)Supporting legislation aimed at imposing regulatory oversight and restraints on your influence.

2.)Engaging with legal professionals to explore antitrust litigation and advocacy.

3.)Elevating public awareness of what I view as unlawful and unethical corporate conduct.

4.)Above all: Campaigning for regulatory actions that would result in Visa’s classification as a monopoly subject to breakup.

Visa’s behavior demonstrates a willingness to suppress creativity and consumer choice for reasons that appear neither legal nor ethical. I urge you to reconsider your current trajectory and restore access to these lawful products on Itchio, Steam and elsewhere. Your continued conduct will be met with organized, political, and legal resistance.

Sincerely,

You, (state if applicable), Date

The fuckin catacombs levels... these broke my young brain so brutally hard, I did not have the spatial awareness for this type of gameplay, especially the part where they reverse your controls every so often, eugh Fond memories, still, but bittersweet for sure X}D

Sevv Thomas @7th7th.myatproto.social · 27/06/2025

This game ate up so many hours of my life as a kid- no idea if it still holds up, but I remember it being hard as hell as a platformer, changing up the gameplay and gimmicks almost every level, packed with secrets and challenge levels, and oh god that OST... Got delisted from PSN in 2017, alas...

Sevv Thomas @7th7th.myatproto.social · 18/05/2025

Finished @kaizengameworks.com 's Promise Mascot Agency last night! What an impeccably-designed game, from head to (pinky) toe~ Every moment feels luxurious, from the gorgeous music, the delight of exploration, meeting the 10/10 cast, the car feeling sooo goood to drive, That Story... *chef's kiss*

Here's a food memory that's less of a bummer; the incredible Parrilla Grill in Boise. Best damn burritos I've ever had, big as your arm and stuffed to the absolute gills. Their caesar salad burrito (sounds weird but is to die for) got me through two summers up there- and the breakfast burritos? Damn

Now time to replay a much more intrinsically flawed game, but one I genuinely like a lot, and absolutely need a refresher on before the sequel drops in June...

Oh lord, I can't believe I left out the brilliant Everhood 2! I loved the first game deeply, an incredibly odd but fascinating and endlessly creative rhythm game with so much heart and soul... The sequel is delightfully mysterious, and the gameplay is even deeper too! steampowered.com/app/1984020

Sevv Thomas @7th7th.myatproto.social · 03/03/2025

This one's NSFW, so beware, but it's also one of those rare gems where the gameplay (+ worldbuilding!) is so goddamn stellar that it's a must-play imo. Axyn Adventure has the best 3D platforming since Mario Odyssey, hands down- AND it's gay as hell. Beat THAT Nintendo! steampowered.com/app/3372620

hhhhhhhh its cRAZY how good @trampolinetales.com 's Maze Mice is!!!!!! The dopamine hits of build-planning roguelike upgrades, plus the eyes-wide, brain-on tactical analysis of the best strategy games equals... Pac-Man that only moves when you move??? Plus that fuckin gorgeous OST??? Perfection.

Woof... after 5 years of leaving it unfinished, too intimidated by a 4-stage final boss, I finally finished a run of Sekiro with every boss beaten! (Well, not counting the Shura ending bosses, but I'm okay with that) Isshin's been hanging over my head for a long time now! Wild to finally beat him~

I finally finished Nine Sols! Helped crowdfund this absolute gem a few years back, and goddamn was it worth the wait... Beautiful, melancholy, aesthetically innovative, full of characters I deeply love, and with a combat system that hand-to-your-throat forces you to master it, but is so rewarding~
