In fairness there is also this link which is doing the rounds too https://freedomtobuy.games/

Yeah but you forget, the laws of mathematics don’t apply here.

So clearly Australia has some strong influence such that they could pull this off!

To quote the good folks over at the TWG Discord

See also here for more numbers to call

as you may or may not be aware, indie video game and ttrpg marketplace itch.io has recently been pressured by payment processors like Visa Mastercard to remove and delist “explicit content” from their site. this has resulted in, effectively, the mass erasure of works published by lgbtqia+ artists. this is the stated end goal of targeted action against payment processors by the group Collective Shout which angles itself to be “protecting children” by erasing adult content from existence.

obviously that’s bullshit. but there’s some stuff we can do as a community to try and fix this!

payment processors do not give a single shit about the content their products are being used to buy. they only care about liability and shareholders. Collective Shout was able to get Visa Mastercard to act with barely over 1,000 calls that’s less than half of the people in this discord. i know it’s a lot to ask every single person to make a call to their card holder, but if you have the energy i highly highly recommend doing so at either of these numbers

Visa Headquarters: (650) 432-3200 Mastercard Headquarters: (914) 249-2000

here’s a little script to follow if you’d like!

“Hello, my name is _____, and I would like to file a complaint. I find it troubling that Mastercard is blocking content on (the platforms you use) and making it difficult for me to make legal purchases. I am going to stop using Mastercard if this isn’t rescinded and fixed."

if you don’t have a call in you, you can send an email to the addresses below and add your signature to this petition from the ACLU

together we will win.

I think a lot of the Quentin D movies will be hit or miss depending on the person. It is such a strange concept for a film I quite liked but overall not his best work IMO. For more weirdness I gotta recommend Smoking Causes Coughing which I liked a whole lot more

Chuck Palahniuk’s Guts? Or is that actually a real story?

1000xRESIST

Highly recommended

In a game full of beautiful and heart-wrenching moments this destroyed me

Tower Wizard is really good. If you want a taster of the style, the dev has a previous game Magic Archery which is 100% free (no microtransactions), just a very good, short, incremental game.

I gotta believe this is a troll post

How is Moonlighter 2? The first one is a game I always felt like I should like but I never really enjoyed the loop of the game for some reason.

Quick, go through their post history and see if they’ve mentioned any Neil Breen films

I quite like Busuu after switching from Duo. Still hanging out for a Japanese Language Transfer course

Two lefts don’t make a right… but three do

That was great, the end killed me.

I like this one too https://youtu.be/WtPQ2pxMHEU

I will never understand why people want to eat this godforsaken fish

I had to retake one of my university units over the summer after failing the final exam. It was the most embarrassed I think I’ve been to tell my parents, as I’d always been pretty solid with schoolwork.

In the end everything ended up perfectly fine, parents didn’t give a shit (I was an adult after all) and it made no difference to my future career prospects at all.

This is probably super pedantic (bloody programmers right?) but I really feel like it would depend on what is meant by “know every programming language”. Like being able to remember every syntax and construct is sort of useful but not all that practical. Understanding how to implement the language in a useful way is the valuable part, not just knowing the keywords.

I guess I would kind of compare it to the difference between being able to read Shakespeare and being able to write Shakespeare,
