Pilot-posting shennannigans, but i dont have a real flightsuit, only some coveralls
Really need to make a Mechsploitation game, but i still have to finish the update for the campaing for the solar system and the card game prototype i was working on and a few other secret projects first
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.
Visa employees clearly told to deescalate ASAP
MasterCard employees more than familiar with the issue
Stripe feeling the pressure
ACLU put out a statement
CBC covered all this
What you are doing is WORKING
You are getting RESULTS
KEEP CALLING
KEEP WRITING
WE ARE GOING TO WIN!!
but yeah, some basic geometry work replaces lots of mechanical complexity while allowing for 4 separate habs in 2 counter rotating hammer pairs that could give almost the same area as a full ring while being protected by the cargo hold itself when you lock them into place in a cross-cut manner

yesterday i realized at 4am that pulling hammer habs into the ship to protect them would be mechanically hard, too over engeeniered and overall annoying to live in, so i spent until morning rethinking how they should work

don't stop hitting these motherfuckers, bombard them until it keeps them awake at night
Visa's call centers are crumpling under the weight and MasterCard has an earnings call in two days!
make sure to hit stripe, their policies are a key problem here
I feel we need to remind everyone that this all started just a few days ago, we haven't even been calling for a week and they're already at the "Hanging up because they can't take it anymore" stage.
Keep calling
I finished the first section of the game i've been working for the last 6 months. All the visual assets, and music has been done by me.
Is a small 30 minute experience. So, if you have the time to check i would appreciate it

The Guardian just covered the Steam / itchio situation
www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
The Itch/Steam thing dropped off the trending tab.
Therefore it's time to remind you again to swamp the payment processors with more calls.
If the call volume dies down in under a week they aren't going to learn their lesson. Make them regret it.
WHY? On July 2025, Steam, a popular storefront to purchase games on PC, and itch.io, a storefront that sells games, comics, tools, resources and much more, have recently delisted several NSFW games, after the group Collective Shout published an open letter to payment processors such as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, and more. As a result of this letter, payment processors have strongarmed Valve and itch.io into enforcing restrictive new TOS policies on what kind of content their platforms can host and sell. Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal have been censoring free speech and legal business on the internet for TOO LONG. Their most recent targets are Steam and Itch.io, but they have also been pressuring websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans and MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content platiorms and their users can host and sell. If we as consumers and creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard. HOW? BOMBARD THEM WITH PHONE CALLS Collective Shout, the organization that lobbied to have Steam and Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa and MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyians to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended perlou, over a mont at the absolute least, will almost gudrantee that these compantes will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. this list is not exhaustive. but some contact points for the 4 targets are: 1. VISA: (US + Can): +1 [8001-847-2911 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3 2. MASTERCARD: (US): +1 (8001-307-7309 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2-2-2-1 Phone (outside US): 1-636-722-7111 3.

An image of the orbit map, showing 3 warships in 3 positions that could allow them to be affected by a Solar Energy Relay (SML-3), a set of yellow arrows shows the position relation between the relay and ships, meaning, how it can transfer energy to them, and a set of green arrows shows to where they can be moved by the light-sail, their ending positions showed by the red triangles
trying to decide on the posible mechanics of light-sails
in short, spend energy and they let you move a ship (with the upgrade) one extra space if they are in the correct position and alignment
still not decided on the total range they can "affect" a ship from, either only 1 or 2

@kaydevs.bsky.social @fragrant.garden's game Rosethorn Keep has released a printer-friendly, b&w version of the game over on the store. You should go check it out and pickup a copy. It's a limited print run, spiral-bound, softcover. If you like solo games, give this one a shot <3

wont post it yet, i want to do some work first on the main rules, finally fix the movement system add a few new things and finally get a proper cover
Working on the 5th faction for the campaing for the solar system, the main idea of the Foreign Legion is a nomadic gameplay, with a single mobile base, instead of having multiple stations, and no base resource production but instead "harvesting from nodes" to force movement, trade, and well, piracy
