Itch's new content policy is: 1. We can't tell you what violates the rules. 2. If you violate the rules, we take all your money. Not just the money from that work, ALL your money from EVERYTHING you've ever made. I don't care how much of a smol bean Itch is, this is not a viable platform.

After an appeal from my publisher, Balatro has been reclassified by PEGI from 18+ to 12+ This is a good step from PEGI - bringing nuance to their ratings criteria that used to be 18+ or nothing. I hope this change will allow developers to create without being unfairly punished

can we expand this to "being affected by fandoms at all" So exhausted of the "I like x but the fandom, ohhhh the fandom" sort of posts, like, why give random strangers that power over you

When someone starts trash talking a fandom they dislike:

Aw man I just recently had to sell my Steam deck, a gamecube, and some of my gamecube collection to have stuff to eat before my real paychecks started rolling in. Al's is a great place, but man, it hurt a little.

Honest question: Am I a fuddy-duddy for sometimes telling my players that skill checks cannot be crit and a natural 20 is merely their skill + 20, a roll of 30 not beating a DC I set of, like 45? A 5% chance of the game suddenly going Toon World feels... unfun to me

Definitely willing to take advice though I am confused by the term peel here.

If you're a fan of fantasy there's very little excuse to not read Discworld. Pick up Small Gods, Mort, even Guards, Guards! and I can guarantee you a good time. The audiobooks are being redone and both reads are splendid (though the old ones have some quality issues). READ DISCWORLD NOW

I don't think enough people are noticing or praising Path of Exile's devs - Grinding Gear Games - and their commitment to microtransactions transferring between PoE1 and 2. They're eating Blizzard's lunch in at least this regard, but no one seems to be saying much about it.

The true test of social anxiety is handling a shared bathroom. The nightmarish devil-sent horror version of this is a bathroom that doesn't have a latching door. It doesn't lock. If you don't know your roomie's schedule, you have to knock. But if it's late, you might wake them. send help

This is a gentle reminder that bsky is not a magical fairyland, it's health as a community is all our responsibility. To wit, if you don't like something,step away, block, and post what you like and love.

Vintage Story is amazing, what starts as "Minecraft, but rough as hell" evolves rapidly into "Post-post-post apoc with weird time shenanigans but also cool survival mechanics and smithing minigame" Look at these ruins I found! They look so cool!

this is your reminder to not spoil shit from manga leaks please god at least put it behind a content warning stop posting shit a whole ass week in advance before like half the audience even has the chance to read it in context this isn't hard please

More people should play Balatro's demo. YOU, the person reading this, should play Balatro's demo. "But I don't play videogames" you might say, to which I reply, "Boy, do I have a game for you to start with"

You are up to date.
