You can use PayPal as a payment method through Stripe as a payment platform - so that shouldn’t hurt anybody hopefully? 🙏🏻

Yeah I’m not really sure why they wouldn’t just keep PayPal and offer the ability to switch. Patreon is a perfect example of this, Soundrop etc too all allow you to do several methods.

Not to say I don’t agree, I do, but I did receive an email about this and was asked to provide my information by a specific date quite a few weeks ago - I switched over all of the GG accounts etc to ACH transfer as a result, which in this particular case actually saves me a ton on fees vs. PayPal.

in my opinion, there is pretty much nothing that you should detest more than war. especially your government using your money and resources you’re being denied domestically to export pain and cruelty for nobody’s gain but the most evil

just my opinion

Play this if you haven’t already, Blasphemous was my first metroidvania type game and it kicked my ass but it was so much fun.

Also the OSTs are fantastic.

Finished arranging the last of 6 tracks for a much procrastinated project this weekend.

Time to record! 🎸🔥

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

Found out my window isn’t centered and I’m mad as hell.
