The United States Governed by Six Hundred Thousand Despots Lost on the other side of the world since 1855, the story of John Swanson Jacobs finally returns to America. This comprehensive edition includes Jacobs's narrative in full alongside a full-length biog...

Holy heck.

So this guy in the 1850s escaped slavery, traveled the world, went to Australia, got his story of How Shitty Slavery Is published because in Australia he had more rights than even in the USA 'north', and then it got lost to time.

UNTIL IT GOT HAULED OUT OF THE ARCHIVES.

Best of luck on your mid-season upgrade

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

You never give up on yourself and your dreams, and you insist that we don’t either (nice)

"Core stats" are an early solution to the real problem, which is answering "who gets to say what happens next" in a game-like way. If they don't solve YOUR game's problem, or bring bigger problems than they solve, it's very rational to dislike them

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity.

"What service is Microsoft providing?"

Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

i just remembered that if you're monetized on youtube, you can block certain ads to specific URLs so I have gone ahead and blocked ICE ads. but if you see a smaller channel with these ads, just no they didn't choose it and have no control.

The ad for the game “Daikatana”. The main text says “John Romero’s about to make you his bitch”. A subtitle advises you to “suck it down”. The company Eidos, perhaps to their regret, has their name on here too

I salute your ambition but keep in mind that bar is very high

AO3 is a death trap for mobile devices

Itch.io starts reindexing free NSFW content Discussions with payment processors ongoing will dictate when paid adult content can return.

Following backlash from consumers, Itch has started re-indexing at least free adult games — and looking for other payment processors to being allowing developers to sell NSFW games on its platform again.

Even Stripe says it hasn't entirely closed the door.

Great work, folks.

Passing this out for further awareness. I know it's exhausting; I know it's yet another thing for Americans to be concerned about, I know we're all tired

But this is such an egregious breach of privacy and would knock so many people effectively completely offline. Add pressure. Please.

Stop payment processors from censoring games!

Hey, it would mean so much to me if y'all kept up the pressure with phone calls to payment processors to show to them how much people care and that they can't just ignore it—my livelihood depends on adult games not being censored!
