Mylo stands in a lush field in a valley looking at stone pillars surrounding a large stone head. In the distance a waterfall rolls down into the valley.

Headline: NASA astronauts are counting down to the Artemis II moon launch. Displayed over a photo of four people in bright orange space suits.

Headline: NASA astronauts are counting down to the Artemis II moon launch. Displayed over a photo of four people in bright orange space suits.

At bottom, an image of the Artemis II rocket on the launch pad. Text above it reads:
NASA is targeting April 1 to launch Artemis II, sending four astronauts on a mission around the moon that will help shape its future lunar exploration plans.
If it proceeds, the flight would mark the first time humans travel beyond Earth orbit in more than 50 years, since Apollo 17 in 1972.
The mission will use the Space Launch System rocket and Orion crew capsule, though both have faced multiple delays this year due to issues discovered during testing.

Portraits of each of the Artemis II astronauts: NASA's Reid Wiseman, commander; NASA's Victor Glover, pilot; NASA's Christina Koch, mission specialist; and Canada's Jeremy Hansen, mission specialist.
Text above reads: Artemis II will carry three NASA astronauts and one Canadian astronaut on a 10-day mission that could take them farther into space than any humans have gone before.

At top, a diagram showing the Artemis II mission's flight path. Text reads:
The mission will test critical systems, conduct medical and scientific experiments, and enable observation of the moon's far side.
While satellites and some Apollo missions have captured parts of the far side, the crew may see areas of the lunar surface never before viewed by humans.
Artemis II will also help validate technology for future missions, including Artemis III and a planned moon landing during Artemis IV, and support NASA's long-term goal of establishing a sustained human presence on the moon.

And here she is! In the.. polygons?
Slone will be a playable character, and the process of bringing her design to life spans months of concepts, iteration, learning and failure - but I couldn't be prouder of the result.

BlueSky is one of the worst platforms I have ever dealt with. Within seconds of creating a second account, after my first one was shut down just two days after it was created, my account was closed again. This happened despite the fact that I hadn’t posted anything or followed anyone. I was only in the process of adding a profile photo, yet I received an email claiming that my account was “spam” and that it was “causing harm.” What kind of logic is this?

The painful truth is that the account was shut down the moment it became clear it was created from inside Gaza. It seems we are no longer allowed to write or speak about what is happening to us here. They are not afraid of content itself, but of our voices and the reality we carry with us.

Millions are spent to silence these voices and to erase the truth. I am exhausted by this platform and by how our photos and videos, which document real suffering, are treated as “violations of community standards,” as if pain itself has become a crime.

What is happening is not simple moderation or policy enforcement. It is an attempt to erase our existence and bury the truth. And honestly, this is shameful and unbearably painful.

[the original poster has included two screenshots showing the email from bluesky admin informing him that his account has been taken down for being 'spammy, inauthentic or disruptive to users'. it's the standard boilerplate you get when they take moderation action.]

It's still #screenshotsaturday!
Spent today making a dynamic mesh system for #mushroam platforms and crushers.
This way designers just make the object the size they want, and it will configure itself!

Shoutout to @dunx.bsky.social for making the tasteful voxel pieces!

Itch.io are seeking out new payment processors who are more comfortable with adult material After delisting thousands of games with adult or NSFW sexual material, indie store Itch are looking to move away from Paypal and Stripe.
8 months ago 4154 1751 45 172

I think it’s important to remember itch is a platform where they give the option to devs to give itch as low as a 0% cut of revenue. This isn’t greed. This is payment processors trying to decimate the livelihoods of artists. There’s no alternative to itch if it goes under.

so itchio has shadowbanned any games tagged with 'nsfw', 'adult', or 'erotic' so they don't show up in searches, and several devs have reported that their r18 games have been removed from the site with no warning
