I love that train stations in Stockholm have signs on escalators that say “Up” and “Not up” instead of “Up” and “Down”

About time. I was getting ready to quit playing guitar thinking this would never happen.

There's a UK adult games creator on reddit who's been rejected from 36(!) and counting UK banks and unable to process the earned £90,000. Debanking for adult creators continues to be a real threat.

I_AmA_Zebra • 3h ago Try HSBC Good enough for the cartel so it’ll be good enough for you 74 u/Previous-Camera1641 avatar Previous-Camera1641 OP • 2h ago Rejected by HSBC too. Sorry, I really should update the original post to include all the ones people suggest. I've basically asked every major high street bank from Halifax to RBS to Lloyds TSB; AND every major phone banking app like Revolut/Monzo etc. I had to actually go for a face-to-face assessment in HSBC for my business account. That was a really awkward meeting

Total_Scratch8198 • 3h ago There were around 260 banks on UK and 900 payment institutions. You tried 11. Just go in branch across every bank you can find, and check their response. 17 u/Previous-Camera1641 avatar Previous-Camera1641 OP • 3h ago I've tried a whole handful more. I think it was 36+ at the last count, but I've left my folder at my accountant's today so I'm trying to remember a list off the top of my head. I was hoping somebody on here could signpost me to a bank that actually works with people like me

Complete breakdown of the gaming press on this topic has led to folks like OP fending alone

r/UKPersonalFinance 3 hr. ago Previous-Camera1641 I develop adult video games on Steam. I can't find a bank that will actually let me withdraw my money from Steam. Can I get some advice? Game has sold quite well on Steam. I've got almost £90,000 ready to withdraw after Steam's cut + VAT taken off. However, it's been 2 months now and I can't find ANY bank in the UK who will let me withdraw my money from Steam.

I've been banned/refused/unable to get a business account with: Wise Revolut Monzo Monese Chase Starling Nationwide Halifax Barclays Lloyds RBS It always comes down to, "Where did you get this money from?" "It's coming from games I sell on Steam." "Can we see the store page?" "Sure." "I'm sorry, we can't do business with you at this time." It keeps coming down to a commercial decision purely because I make adult content. What the hell am I supposed to do? I've pretty much exhausted the whole banking system. I just want to be able to be paid for products I've sold.

Per Reddit: Steam adult developer in the UK is sitting on a USD equivalent of six figures, can’t find a bank to take his money because the developer creates adult games

This will be the hill I die on, “porn addiction” is not real, that phrase specifically is used as a dog whistle and is backed only by pseudoscience which has been created by right wing fascist organisations with the intention to demonise minorities. It is not real, actual science proves it isn’t.

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

A lot of trans journalists are just gone from games journalism

EU countries sign Danish plan to boost child protection online Ministers called on Friday to explore whether additional measures are needed to complement existing rules.

Denmark wants to ban social media for anyone under 15. The rest of the EU isn't biting (EU is 13+ to use social media). It's not clear how Denmark would accomplish this goal. Age verification measures?

So yeah, keep in mind that NSFW archive dumping is a known occurrence and often goes underreported. A lot of my 2010s and early 2020s adult games coverage is only available via Internet Archive or Archive today, thanks to years of internet stalkers documenting everything I do… including my portfolio

Look, GameZone wasn't a relevant games media resource in 2025. It hadn't been meaningfully updated in years, and seemed to exist solely to juice some social media accounts with large legacy followings and as an archive for 30 years' worth of video game journalism. But that last point was important! This is history, of the industry and the medium and of all the work everyone who wrote for GameZone since 1994 had put in, and to have it all just deleted like that without notice doesn't just suck, it should--as l've said before--be something that has some consequences.

Aftermath published an article on GameZone, an OG games journalism website that has since gotten its archives dumped & its content replaced w/ AI slop. But a key element missed in Aftermath’s archive dump discussion is that adult games coverage is often the first to be dumped

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

A black-and-white photo of a patient in a hospital, being held by two nurses. The man's arms are now crab claws, and his skin is turning into an exoskeleton. His eyes are now at the end of stalks.

A textbook showing three black-and-white pictures of a person's arm turning into a crab claw. The three stages read "Presymptomatic patient", with a regular man's arm, "Exoskeletalization", where the arms turns hard and segmented and the fingers start fusing, and "late stage transformation", where the arm is fully crab-like.

Spontaneous Carcinometamorphosis, commonly known as Mancini's disease after the famed boxer-turned-crustacean Bruno Mancini, is a disease that will slowly turn skeleton to exoskeleton, hands to claws, lungs to gills, until a human being finds itself where all the roads of evolution lead: crab.
