Hey, if you're an artist who uses Stripe, they're about to force an AI feature on you whether you want it or not. It charges 30% of any payment dispute that you win. You can disable auto-submission, but it looks like the AI still automatically runs on your behalf with no way to entirely opt out?

if you're in Europe PLEASE consider signing the Stop Destroying Games initiative. the deadline is July 31st 2025. it aims to create legislation for publishers to stop killing the games you pay for and to provide an end-of-life plan for live-service products. thanks! eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#...

I got to talk to Ross on my Stream a while back about the Stop Killing Games initiative, and it's a shame the traction has stopped, so even if I'm a relatively tiny streamer, let's see if we can't give this another push? If you're in an EU citizen, it'll take 2 mins: www.stopkillinggames.com/eci

Hey! Wanted to post this here since it is somewhat important, but the followup to Shipwrecked 64 officially has a Steam Page! store.steampowered.com/app/3383670/... It will remain free, and it is basically the same game it was going to be with the HTML format, just, more sustainable from a dev angle

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

The cruelty of this is, genuinely, staggering. This is a policy that saves virtually no money whatsoever whose success is measured in the number of children it kills.

So, to break the shitty habit of keeping ideas in my brain only, I've finally started writing plans down, and actually keeping track of that. Or at least the narrative plans at the moment. (And so, that's both Prologue and Act 1 planned out...)

MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States. A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports. This means that very shorty, the window will open to update your passports with the correct gender marker.

The legal landscape for game accessibility has changed. GPSR requires safety, EAA requires accessible comms & ecommerce. The deadlines are upon us, but many devs remain unaware. If you don't know about these laws yet, you need to! Info: igda-gasig.org/what-and-why... #gamedev #indiedev

The Senate reconciliation bill retains the trans healthcare Medicaid/CHIP ban. Call your Senators, we still have a good shot at killing this provision. Hundreds of thousands of people rely on this care.

Something possessed me to install OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on my laptop. Already solved a couple of problems, so now I can work with the mono version of Godot on that thing. lol

periodic reminder to artists on here that you don't have to censor your posts by saying things like "p-site in bio" "c0mms" etc. bluesky doesn't deprioritize your posts based on keywords like that. just say "patreon." say "commissions." put the link in the post. spread your wings and be free

As someone taking part in the current Xbox / Microsoft boycot, I went back and forth a lot on how to handle covering, or not covering, today's Xbox Showcase event. My answer? I'm using it to fundraise for Medical Aid for Palestinians. www.justgiving.com/page/laurakb...

I started @serenityforge.com as a solo VN dev which eventually grew to what it is today. It's been a couple years since I made a game, but I'm proud to finally reveal Return to Ash, a 2-person internal project by me and Sophie. It's a very personal story & a game I did art for. Please wishlist!! 🥰
