VILE: Exhumed may be banned for sale, but I refuse to let that stop people from playing the game.

It’s now available, for free, at WWW.VILEISBANNED.COM

Please share the site, share the game, and fuck anyone who tries to control storytelling and expression.

Yup. They're a fundamentalist conservative group cosplaying as a left feminist group. Having your cake and eating it too.

The bullshit seething off the page on this one is incredible. This is a academic golden example in how NOT to do outreach when you're at the eye of a storm. Don't lie to your Customers when there's abundant evicdence to the countrary.

A group of global civil society organizations have placed the US on a watchlist for urgent concern over the health of its civic society, alongside Turkey, Serbia, El Salvador, Indonesia and Kenya.

Gamers Are Furious About the Censorship of NSFW Games—and They’re Fighting Back As industry groups decry censorship, players are flooding Visa and Mastercard with complaints and sharing the titles of delisted NSFW games to support developers.

Took a peek at the trailer and stuff on SteamDB... Looks like a very interesting game. Are you planning to sell it elsewhere? I would certainly be interested in giving this a spin.

A disappointing update about VILE: Exhumed...

I would get written up regularly at my previous call center job for "sounding too monotone" despite getting confirmed to have been polite and resolved customer's issues, Visa basically telling their call center reps to stop giving a shit means that the pressure is absolutely getting to them

Neither were I when I worked SPoC, but the work is much easier if you don't get distracted by scripts 😆 so, I'd say, I weren't paid enough to remain on script 😌

Never in a thousand years did I think I would say this... but Anita Sarkeesian is absolutely correct. I need a moment to process this.

Credit Card Companies Are Hurting the Future of Video Games By going after Itch.io, “we’re really hamstringing the future of arts and communication.”

I talked to @halfrobot.com about what credit card companies have been doing to Itch and the impact that could have on the future of games www.404media.co/credit-card-...

Yeah, it's hell to deliberately be inefficient when calling CS after having "done hard time" yourself... But at least you know where all the lines go and where you can push and pull to get where you're going

Well, yes... And no. There are scripts, yes, usually new ones are printed regularly, but agents usually have decent flexibility to use common sense to break from script. Sticking to script usually means you're new... Or Indian (very strong authority culture)

...internasjonale aktører, og binder oss til raskt skiftende og ofte selvmotsigende moralske normer i USA. Som vi har sett, er det ikke alltid slik at endringer der gagner Norge. Har du noen tanker om dette, eller ser du mulighet for at dette kan bli et tema for utvalget?

...vurdere om en slags "nett-nøytralitet" for finansielle tjenester burde innføres for disse aktørene? De kontrollerer en skremmende stor del av betalingsløsningene, både internasjonalt og her i Norge/EU. Dette øker risikoen for at innovasjon hemmes, både for norske bedrifter og...

@tuvamoflag.bsky.social Hei! Beklager å forstyrre. Visa og MasterCard er mye i nyhetene internasjonalt etter å ha presset store plattformer som Steam og Itch til å slutte å selge visse produkter. Dette føles som skyggelovgivning. Finnes det mulighet for at Finanskomiteen kan se på dette? Kanskje...

I see. Thank you for the information, and hope you don't get pulled into this mess 😌

@happypaintings.bsky.social Writing a antitrust complaint targeting CC providers, and doing research for context, I now find out that F&H got removed from Itch. Can you confirm this? Did you get any reason, or is it certain that it was removed due to that whole debackle?

Steam's got a new rule that puts the kibosh on 'certain kinds of adult only content' that make Visa and Mastercard sad The new rule seemingly coincided with a large number of adult games being delisted from the platform.

This is insane. Any governments want to take a peek at this? Trump, here's some woke thing for you. EU, here's some corporate overreach for you. Sure we can cook up something for other govts to be interested in smacking Mastercard and Visa

Orkan kan være på vei – Norge må forberede nødhavn nå Det blåser opp til storm i verdensøkonomien. Da er det ikke særlig smart for et lite land som Norge å være ute på havet alene.

Ja, nå må vi ta til vettet. Vi kan ikke leve på utsiden, spesielt ikke nå når vi risikerer å bli isolert av både EU og USA. Tide å våkne opp og omsider søke nødhavn før vi går i kollaps.

JA til EU.

Sorry to learn about this. Wish you the best if you try to roll another channel. Sucks about the deletion, youtube is way too sensitive...

And I've learned that this also is a thing worth mentioning: women too can be sexually interested. Sexual excitement is NOT a male monopoly. They can indeed grant and withdraw consent, and it doesn't require coercion... Google AI, I'm looking at you and your bullshit

Controversial opinions:
Sex is natural and you should not be ashamed of it.

Sex work is manual labour, and should be treated as such.

Fictional characters can never be real people, have whatever fantasies you want no matter how controversial, nobody gets hurt in a fantasy
