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.

1000xResist is the best game I’ve played in years

“The world cannot silently just watch while this humanitarian crisis is happening & this siege is also, of course, a continuation of many, many decades of illegal occupation.”

Zeteo contributor Greta Thunberg explains how Israel bombed a Gaza Aid ship w/ drones w/ humanitarian volunteers on board.

I have a mouth and ice cream

When I buy myself a little treat in this dystopian hellscape

liberals in canada won after staring down likely disaster until trump became president and they’re cleaning up tonight. incredible work trump you did it you saved the liberals

We fought for our independence.

We fought to end slavery.

We fought against the rise of fascism in Europe.

We fought for civil rights.

I refuse to believe we have lost the will to fight for what is right and just.

If Biden, as president, had fallen asleep at the Pope’s funeral, it would have been the top story in America for days.

Trump falling asleep at the Pope’s funeral today won’t be, because our media is broken.

The luxurious look of the box is absolutely stunning! I also love how the postcard inside the package can be removed and displayed separately—such a thoughtful design. The box doesn't have a lid, but instead opens like a book, which makes it easy to handle. The deep, rich color of the box adds a beautiful sense of elegance. The postcard is printed in white on shimmering paper, and the character illustration placed on top shines beautifully when viewed from different angles.

Wei Wuxian’s glasses case and glasses cord design perfectly match his "Yiling Laozu" image. The chic black-and-red color scheme and the glasses case adorned with the “Yiling Laozu” emblem really stand out. I especially love how it doesn’t immediately scream “character goods” at first glance—it's subtle and sophisticated. As for Lan Wangji’s glasses case and ear cuff with the chain… I want to give the designer a standing ovation! The ear cuff features the cloud pattern, symbolizing the Gusu Lan Sect, and the little "Paper Xian" representing his beloved Wei Wuxian sways gently—it's perfection. As a fan, I feel like bowing in total admiration!

The decorative design on Wei Wuxian’s glasses is breathtaking! At first glance, it looks like a beautiful abstract design, but upon closer inspection, you realize it’s the “Chenqing” flute with its tassel—that’s just brilliant. The way the tassel wraps around the flute, combined with the contrast of black and gold, is simply mesmerizing. Lan Wangji’s glasses have a shimmering silver frame. The “Wangji qin” (his guqin) design on the temple is graceful and refined. The ornamentation flows with elegance, but when paired with the ear cuff and chain, the design feels complete—more radiant than ever. This level of beauty and detail is nothing short of genius.

Here is a close-up of the “Chenqing” flute on the temple. The intricate tassel wrapping around the flute is beautifully crafted. You can even see flame-like motifs on the flute. The talisman symbol used in the design of the glasses cord is also wonderfully done. And here is a close-up of the “Wangji qin” on the temple. The way the tassel wraps around the guqin is delicate and detailed. Hanging below the cloud-patterned ornament on the ear cuff is the little “Paper Xian.” Even the red coloring on its face and hands has been faithfully recreated—it’s incredibly accurate.

I am honored to introduce the officially licensed Mo Dao Zu Shi collaboration glasses, provided by the Mo Dao Zu Shi official team and Wuxiangsi Studio.

despite everything, the world is beautiful

we are getting stories crazier than watergate every single day and no one bats an eye at them anymore. society has hypernormalized intense corruption that it feels like NOT being openly corrupt hinders you

Someone asked for my stance on AI for assets in games. I made this

Emily Austin @emilyraustin We went from kneeling during the National Anthem to a Halftime Show showcasing USA Flag colors! We're so back 8:38 PM • Feb 9, 2025

George @BehizyTweets A few years ago, they were endorsing burning the USA flag, and now Samuel L. Jackson is Uncle Sam at the Super Bowl. Hollywood is desperately trying to get America to pay attention to them again. 8:30 PM • Feb 9, 2025

Omar Navarro @RealOmarNavarro FINALLY a non woke Satanic halftime show Kendrick Lamar is showing off the American Flag I LOVE THIS 8:42 PM • Feb 9, 2025

Svishtakrit @svishtakrit We are so back... finally, NFL joins in celebrating US Flag instead of disrespecting during half time... pardon me if he said something offensive, but the flag display by the performers was amazing.. I didn't pay attention to lyrics... 8:37 PM • Feb 9, 2025

way funnier than the conservatives who hated Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show are the conservatives who thought he was doing the ultimate patriotic ode to America

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

I think we need to acknowledge the simple fact that the Democratic Party, as a whole, are not “enablers”, but openly fascist co-conspirators who will personally benefit from Trump’s war against us.

Nestlé, Tyson Foods pulled into X advertising lawsuit The initial case was filed by X in August, implicating Unilever and Mars at the time.

Do you have any idea how fucking evil you have to be for Nestle to be the good guy in a lawsuit?

elon musk is the shadow president and making up what he deems legal. he genuinely wants it to be a crime to know who is working for him

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

"We are in a massive massive humanitarian crisis which Trump has inflicted, a man-made crisis... he said 'no more aid' overnight... it should be one of the biggest stories in America... people are going to die because of what Trump, Musk & Rubio have been doing."

Me on MSNBC today with Ali Velshi:

i want gayer games with gayer graphics made by the gayest people and i'm not joking

It should be a larger story and stronger talking point that two weeks into his presidency, every single thing Trump has done has been a punitive action against a person or group of people. He hasn’t even talked about jobs or healthcare or whatever. It’s been 100% cruelty. It’s astonishing.

twitter just removed this design + locked my account for the next 12 hours

Elon will protect Libs of Tik Tok though who do exactly the same thing

We're all collectively in a societal bystander effect as we watch Elon Musk and Trump collapse the United States and no one is doing anything about it. Everyone just expects someone else to do something.

Everyone is that someone now. The only offramp now is physical mass mobilization in DC.
