For anyone Claiming "Blue Prince also used AI" that claim is officially false.

The source of the claim was an Escapist Article from a ProAI author, with zero sources, but below is the OFFCIAL Blue Prince Discord Server posting the statement from the publisher Raw Fury!

I cannot overstate just how awful this stupid fucking bill proposal is

- adding backdoors into encryption on OS level
- "sniff" every single message before it gets encrypted AND SAVE IT CENTRALLY
- let a goddamn hallucinating "AI" mark people as criminals

it needs to be stopped, post haste

It's not over. Steam isn't allowing games with 'mature themes' in Early Access. Call, email, letter PayPal, Stripe, Mastercard, and Visa. Do your dailies.

invisibly slapping a scarlet letter on artworks, based on an internal set of tags deliberately obscured from the user base, that now can be used to completely cut off your income and audience, is an indefensible choice for a publisher.

THIS IS HUGE! The FIRST 100% effective HIV PrEP drug, Lenacapavir, is APPROVED AND GOING GLOBAL. The makers are providing AFFORDABLE access to the drug in the United States AND beyond, signing ROYALTY-FREE licensing agreements with SIX generic manufacturers to produce AND supply it.

Itch.io follows Steam in removing adult games It’s Tumblr all over again.

Is this the twilight of "creative freedom"? 😭 Itch.io is now removing adult games, pressured by payment processors. πŸ’Έ Founder stated "compliance" overrides content, prioritizing profit.
πŸ’” This echoes Steam, leaving indie devs vulnerable. I see this as a chilling precedent: when money dictates art, t

Over the past decade, I've been booted off of half a dozen different digital sales for selling queer and adult work. Itch is the one place that has never faltered. Losing the ability to sell uncensored work there would be devastating.

I run a monthly oneshot session for exactly this reason! It puts the emphasis on me prepping a game every month, knowing rules etc, but I've found it a great way to try new systems + have more casual yet consistent play, and it doesn't matter if too many people can't come or not, just reschedule!

QGCon is actively fundraising and looking for sponsors! It's a PWYW conference dedicated to queer games studies. They are raising money to make sure they can pay their keynotes and provide travel grants for speakers:

The end of Stop Killing Games
YouTube video by Accursed Farms The end of Stop Killing Games

The Stop Killing Games initiative is giving up because of a relentless campaign of misinformation and verbal abuse largely directed by PirateSoftware/Thor, which has completely tanked their momentum and burned out its founder.

In the fourth century, the Chinese poet Su Hui wrote a reversible poem in five colors of silk, designed to correspond to a star gauge for reading the cosmos. Her poem had nearly eight thousand possible readings. Su Hui sent this poem as a letter to her husband who was far away. Upon reading Su Hui’s poem, the couple reunited for life.
