Boston GameLoop 2025
GameLoop is a user-generated conference on game development, open to professional game devs, hobbyists, students, and more!
GameLoop is August 16th in Boston. It's an unconference, where the attendees pitch ideas for talks and then everyone votes on the ones they want to attend, and those present either help present or are audience members. It's super fun, and a great way to meet other devs. #networking #gamedev #bfig

Outer Wilds is one of my favorite games of all time. Both of these games I can't just talk about.
But unlike Outer Wilds
1. You need some REALLY good RNG to make progress at times
2. There is no real way to quantify how far I go
But I am deeply compelled to keep tearing away at it

I feel like Blue Prince is...
Yknow how lakes are shallow and then it's a huge drop? Like oh I'm in water I can walk in, and then a Lil further out it's 25ft deep?
I'm in the deep. But I don't even know how deep it is. I can't quite see how far it goes down. I'm diving but...Just how far does it go?

Blue Prince baits you in with a compelling mystery and concrete goal only for you to go "hmm that can't be it" and then you realizing oh no

The card in my collection that means the most to me is the first Majestic I cracked: a regular ten foot tall and bulletproof
I ran it in my arrowless riptide deck for a long time. Beat half my armory regulars with that deck.

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. STRIPE:
(Headquarters): +118881 963-8955
(France): +33 805-11-19-67
Stripe: complaints@stripe.com
4. PAYPAL:

Customer Service: +1 (877)-569-1116

Not a single person has yet to explain what itch could have done better.
The best someone offered was "they should just have done a bunch of stuff that assumes they had weeks to do this" which isn't how this works and "they should have fought" which, like, how? "First amendment" that isn't a thing
