I've been wanting to write this review for years. Go read it. Or just go play it. Because it's free, and runs on anything that could be considered vaguely computery.

FurAffinity (a furry focused online art gallery) is looking for funding after refusing to comply with advertiser demands. And oh boy are some of those advertiser demands are pretty ridiculous.

www.bfxr.net BFXR major update. I need to spend a *lot* more time with the presets of the instruments, but I was so immediately sold by the Mixfxr tool (that just overlaps two existing synths) that I had to put it live RIGHT AWAY. Try it out!

Chiitan loves transgender people 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Even a plain statement like this now brings slander and insults, but I think a society where people can live happily as themselves matters more than silence, so I will keep saying it until the account is gone. love everyone🤍

We've rolled out a spam detector update that should be much better with detecting hacked accounts that post fake "game updates" in comments, among other things. We also did a pass on collection spammers Spam is a never ending battle, but hopefully this update should noticeably improve the situation

I mean this sort of thing is terrible for the people who actually *are* making pornographic games, but I never thought they would come for my indie RPGs. (I did. I did think they would.)

Have you played with the `oversampling` flag on the subviewport? I think in some cases you need that, or to programmatically increase the subviewport resolution and then scale it down again with a control parent? The "Multiple Resolutions" manual page has helped me in similar past situations.

when hate is easier, let’s choose love. When love comes, let’s make more room for it🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 What transgender people want is not special proof or permission. It is to live as themselves, with love and pride. That’s all Chiitan hopes light will be lit in the lives of transgender people now in the dark.

An illustration by Gustave Dore for Dante’s Divine Comedy that shows two silhouetted figures standing on a tall summit gazing up at a great celestial conflagration of souls in heaven.

It looks like Steam re-reviewed Future? No Thanks! and removed the "frequent nudity or adult content" reverting the Germany geo-ban and the age verification by credit card in the UK. It officially has only "some nudity or adult content" as every good game should.

i don't remember why i made this but i stumbled upon it in my images while looking for something else apologies to @jordanmagnuson.bsky.social and also (i assume?) @gregoryaveryweir.bsky.social
Screenshot of the Steam page for Loneliness by Jordan Magnuson, except the name "Loneliness" has been replaced with the phrase "I'm leading my swarm on a mission to go to the end of the map and kill god" in the Steam title, in the Steam capsule image, and in the cut off "Play [title of game]" Steam dialog at the bottom. However the positional links at the top have been left the same (All Games > Indie Games > Loneliness), this is probably an oversight.

The game preview is a frame of the trailer where a testimonial quote from Gregory Weir has been altered to say "Affected me the first time[ I lead my swam on a mission to go to the end of the map and killed god], and even more strongly the second."

Update: even after we removed the entire sex quest, Steam mis-classifies Future? No Thanks! as pornography, making it invisible to most Steam users and completely geo-locked in Germany. We are currently at Gamescom in Cologne, everybody is asking us why they can't see the PAGE of a Teen rated game.

"AI is here to stay; you can't put the genie back in the bottle" is a classic motte-and-bailey argument. It's deployed like "LLMs will stay popular for all generative work, replacing traditional labor," but the only defensible interpretation is "neural nets will keep being used for some stuff."

top left:
WRONG
-negating their frame reinforces it
-starts with what it isn't instead of what it is
- your argument is shaped like their argument

bottom right: large image of Kirby, a pink blob inhaling and the "autism is bad" fragment, labeled THEY'RE DOING EUGENICS

bottom left: 
RIGHT
- you eat their frame
-starts with what's actually happening
-contains and explains what they're doing

If you followed or signal-boosted the claims a few weeks back by the historian who said the graphic novelist had done an unauthorized adaptation of her work on Charity & Sylvia, a lesbian couple from 19th c Vermont, please read this essay from someone who fact-checked these claims in detail.

I usually despise impostor/Werewolf games because I don't like mistrusting my friends, but the latest Game Changer feels much better to me because the impostor is either disempowered and trying to pretend they're in the know or playing a parallel game. More Spy Party than Mafia.

We could, and just hear me out, not give a fuck about able bodied persons receiving the benefits of accommodations. This is actually what we should do about it: nothing. Not a fucking thing. supposed "grift" is only a problem in a world looking for an excuse to deny accommodations.

Maybe something like The Addams Family or more liberatory body horror? Where the tension isn't between safety and cruelty but between the comfortable status quo or norms and a scary new or disruptive way of being/seeing/feeling?
