It hit me hard, definitely recommend, with the heads up that it’s only about an hour long.

Yeah but you forget, the laws of mathematics don’t apply here.

So clearly Australia has some strong influence such that they could pull this off!

To quote the good folks over at the TWG Discord

See also here for more numbers to call

as you may or may not be aware, indie video game and ttrpg marketplace itch.io has recently been pressured by payment processors like Visa Mastercard to remove and delist "explicit content" from their site. this has resulted in, effectively, the mass erasure of works published by lgbtqia+ artists. this is the stated end goal of targeted action against payment processors by the group Collective Shout which angles itself to be "protecting children" by erasing adult content from existence.

obviously that's bullshit. but there's some stuff we can do as a community to try and fix this!

payment processors do not give a single shit about the content their products are being used to buy. they only care about liability and shareholders. Collective Shout was able to get Visa Mastercard to act with barely over 1,000 calls that's less than half of the people in this discord. i know it's a lot to ask every single person to make a call to their card holder, but if you have the energy i highly highly recommend doing so at either of these numbers

Visa Headquarters: (650) 432-3200 Mastercard Headquarters: (914) 249-2000

here's a little script to follow if you'd like!

“Hello, my name is _____, and I would like to file a complaint. I find it troubling that Mastercard is blocking content on (the platforms you use) and making it difficult for me to make legal purchases. I am going to stop using Mastercard if this isn’t rescinded and fixed."

if you don't have a call in you, you can send an email to the addresses below and add your signature to this petition from the ACLU

Visa Support: askvisa@visa.com Mastercard Support: b2b.mastercard.com/contact-us/

I think a lot of the Quentin D movies will be hit or miss depending on the person. It is such a strange concept for a film I quite liked but overall not his best work IMO. For more weirdness I gotta recommend Smoking Causes Coughing which I liked a whole lot more

Tower Wizard is really good. If you want a taster of the style, the dev has a previous game Magic Archery which is 100% free (no microtransactions), just a very good, short, incremental game.
