Hey hey!
The game is coming to life, like a small bird that is going to fly. 🥲 Wish us good luck. 💛

Updated: 8/1/2025 4:18 p.m. ET: In a statement to Kotaku, a spokesperson for Valve said that while Mastercard did not communicate with it directly, concerns did come through payment processor and banking intermediaries. They said payment processors rejected Valve's current guidelines for moderating illegal content on Steam, citing Mastercard's Rule 5.12.7. "Mastercard did not communicate with Valve directly, despite our request to do so," Valve's statement sent over email to Kotaku reads. "Mastercard communicated with payment processors and their acquiring banks. Payment processors communicated this with Valve, and we replied by outlining Steam's policy since 2018 of attempting to distribute games that are legal for distribution. Payment processors rejected this, and specifically cited Mastercard's Rule 5.12.7 and risk to the Mastercard brand."

Steam turns that Mastercard statement on its head by saying MC *specifically refused* to communicate

also, MC cited a rule about "risk to the Mastercard brand"

Gaben wasn't about to let MC throw them under the bus

Totoro by Nolan be like:

A fox in its house surrounded by a blanket, a heater, a book and holding a cup of tea.

Quiet mornings, warm socks,
the weight of a blanket and the smell of tea.

Winter has its own kind of softness.

Wait, its real?

‘Slow killing’: Starvation deaths mount in Gaza as Israel kills over 90 Hamas says Israel has turned food into a ‘weapon of slow killing’ in Gaza and aid into a tool of ‘chaos and looting’.

Another day, another massacre. Over 90 were killed in Gaza in 24 hours. Starvation is being used as a policy. Families are being erased in real time while the world scrolls past it, distracted by the story of a gang of rich sex offenders. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

This is my endgame.

Because sadly, as long as I have to make ends meet, I can't do these actual creative explorations in games or other mediums without risking my livelihood.

If you have the chance to do it? Go for it. Know that you're incredibly priviledged to do so.

Yay late stage capitalism!

That's just today. This is not yearly, not monthly, not weekly. This is Israel, today, committing more war crimes than any nation in the history of war crimes.
