Polly and Olivia Make Dinner (Part 3) Transcript Panel 1 Penelope arrives hope after having to unexpectedly work late. She walks into the door exhausted but fully prepared to make dinner for her daughters. Penelope: GIRLS! I'm home. Polly: Mom, please don't be upset. Panel 2 Polly, Olivia, and Gwen are setting the dinner table. Olivia is holding some form of burrito and Gwen has a salad. Polly wants to get the bad news out of the way. Olivia is rapidly calculating the possible consequences for everything that has happened tonight. Gwen is feeling incredibly awkward. That kind of awkward where you know your friend might be getting into trouble but you know you won't. One of the worst types of awkward. Polly: We- I tried making dinner. I ruined a pot and made a mess. Gwen helped up make something. Panel 3 Polly: I'll clean everything. I'm sorry. Penelope (Quietly): You made dinner? Penelope is suddenly overwhelmed with emotion. Polly has shown very little interest in cooking and she would never have expected her to take on the task herself. Panel 4 Penelope sweeps Polly up into a hug. She is so happy to have such helpful daughters and that her daughters have a friend who would go out of her way to help them. Penelope: I don't deserve such wonderful daughters. Olivia: We're not grounded! Gwen is still feeling awkward but it's now a much more relaxed form of awkward.

ICE arrested these immigrants in San Francisco and sent them 2,400 miles away—to Hawaii One may be mentally impaired, said a judge who granted him a continuance prior to his arrest.

ICE doesn't even have a detention center in Hawaii. The men have been put in a federal prison there. Very far from home, and presumably their lawyers. Via @missionlocal.org

Okay, how about this?

Thanks for reminding me to pick this up.

Why did thousands of adult titles just disappear from the biggest PC gaming marketplaces? Digital distribution platforms Steam and itch.io have tightened their rules about adult content – under pressure from payment processors. Why has this happened and where will it lead?

Steam and itch.io have removed thousands of video games in recent weeks deemed to be "adult content" in order to comply with strict rules from payment processors like Mastercard.

These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.

softy pancake tail

The fact that itchio is looking into alternate payment options and talking about all this like an ongoing situation instead of being like "these are the new rules and always will be, fuck off" says a lot about how much they care about this. I know you want to yell at them but they're working hard

Art of my OC Ashton sitting on her knees facing forward. Her chest and arms (which have healed s/h scars) are covered by textboxes that say "Due to local laws, we require ID Verification." There's also warning signs and on the bottom of the canvas there's two buttons that say "Submit your ID" and "Estimate age from photo"

Are you ID Verified?

The artistic freedom of game developers is fundamental to games as a cultural medium. Any restrictions improsed by payment service providers or games platforms must not exceed the legal limits. In Germany, thanks in part to the USK, clear, binding and established rules apply that must be adhered to. Furthermore, creative forms of expressions or certain themes in games, such as diversity, must not be targeted by individual interests or campaigns from particularly vocal groups, as is currently observed on Steam or itch.io. The terms and conditions of global payment service providers such as Visa, Mastercard, or Paypal must not conflict with European values such as freedom of expression or artistic freedom. We therefore call on the companies involved to design their rules and offerings in a manner that ensures complicance with applicable laws and prevents overblocking.

As gaming becomes more digital, we’re losing the charm of physical extras like custom CD artwork. It added magic and fun for the experience of buying a game physically, that's fading as digital replace discs.
