Talking to @me , who programmed and hosts a popular sushi restaurant in virtual reality.

This is the fourth of a series of interviews, following @vidak's permacomputer, @jeremy_list's Habitat and @kasper's Swooprace. Using Mashey's #unix scale, Paradise sushi is a minor success.

As well as #MUD, #commonLisp #CLIM #gamedev on #itchio.

💰 Riot Games reportedly blocking fan criticism of its sponsor Mastercard (MC).

🕵🏽 MC "kindly asked" Riot moderators to flag "anything unusual" regarding comments about MC during recent eSports streams.

MC is blamed by many for current efforts to remove NSFW (i.e. adult) games from Steam & itchio.

The ongoing purge is overbroad. It has affected non-adult games.

👉🏽 Ironically, two of our NGO's educational games about #consent were de-indexed by itchio.

🏳️‍🌈 Creators of LGBTQ+ content, and other marginalized folk, are rightly concerned.

OK I have finally found out why I wasn't able to buy the #QueerGames 2025 bundle on #itchio: apparently the itch bundle page scripts unconditionally call `navigator.sendBeacon()`, which my UA doesn't implement. So I added a dummy (empty) implementation of the function and the page finished loading correctly, which allowed me to proceed with the payment.

Issue has been reported to @itchio, hopefully they'll fix their JS.

Right now you can unlock thirteen adult games for free as part of GOG's Freedom To Buy campaign.

Participate in the campaign, share it here and on other social networks, raise awareness and help push back against MasterCard and Visa, as they are posing a threat to our civil liberties.

There shouldn't be a morality police. One thing is to create illegal content, other is to create adult games and be able to sell them to adults. Credit card companies shouldn't be a "morality police", deciding what is published or not just because the money goes, due to their sheer size, almost always through them.

If you're also trying to redeem GOG's free "NSFW anti-censorship" bundle

items.gog.com/freedomtobuy/ind

But get an error that only says there was a problem, despite not blocking Recaptcha:

It seems not possible to redeem it from some countries like Germany and Australia where some of the games have been unavailable to buy before anyway.

Using a VPN set to, for example, Norway works, even if your account is set to your original country.

And yes, the anti-censorship bundle needing a VPN to redeem is quite ironic. 😁😅😭
