โ€œItโ€™s a security hole that endangers democracy itself.โ€ NieR creator speaks out against payment processors pressuring Japanese adult content platformsย  - AUTOMATON WEST NieR creator Yoko Taro comments on the series of instances of Japanese adult platforms being pressured by credit card payment processors.

It's heartening to see Big Names speak out about this issue, I think it's something artists and creatives from all genres and levels of notoriety can unite on automaton-media.com/en/news/nier...

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy. Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

SO, what should YOU do? Consider supporting the ACLU's campaign against Mastercard's unjust policies that impact this sort of issue.

Dear #GameDev: I'm not going to pretend I know all the details, or that I should be considered an expert, but we need to talk about this situation. ๐Ÿงต

P.S. - Jump to the end of the thread for what you personally can do to help address the situation.

CTRL Shift R for record, CTRL Shift D to stop for me. (Record starts with R and ends with D).

Think of it less like a samurai game and more like Beat Saber and it'll get better. You're not trying to drain the enemy health, you're trying to match their attack rhythm with deflects, to break their posture. You also attack when they're not, whether you're landing hits or not.

My overall goal with Blender has been to learn how to create characters and objects to import into Godot for making games. Today I figured that all out! I made a silly little blockhead guy, animated him, and imported him into Godot. Ready to start making 3D games now with Blender assets!

Next up in #Blender adventures: texture painting! I used geometry nodes to distribute the rocks and pavers as well.

Yeah if you're strengths are level design and storytelling, stick to that and work with someone who can code. If you join a game dev discord server, about 90% of those there will be coders and would probably greatly enjoy having someone with your skillset to work with.

What's preventing learning coding? With visual scripting, you can avoid the syntax part, but it's still going to require developing the logical state and transitions and such. What part of game dev are you interested in? Can you join a team with others who can code?

So I intend for this account to be primarily focused on game dev, programming, tech, geek culture, gaming, and the like.

All that said, I voted for Kamala, unabashedly and unashamedly. There may be some posts here that celebrate democracy and denounce fascists and totalitarianism.
