Psychiatry is a meat grinder that chews up the vulnerable and leaves them numb (best case scenario) or paralyzed with their children dead.
If you want to understand what happened to Lindsay Clancy—a woman with no prior psychiatric history, who went to a “professional” to get a handle on some postpartum depression—look into my writings on diagnostic recursion.
SSRIs have side effects. Stopping them can make you worse than you were before you started them. This gets leveraged into a new diagnosis.
“Oh, she was bipolar all along!” No, you demented psychopath: you gave her a neurological injury!
Lindsay’s husband, Patrick, reached out to say point-blank that the drugs had made her “10,000 times worse” and pleaded to get her off all of them.
Unfortunately, it’s not so simple.
4 months. 13 potent psychiatric drugs (with whole-body systemic effects). No hyperbolic taper. A game of chemical musical chairs.
The blood is on their hands—not Lindsay’s.
Could I get some support from fellow devs and creatives? We got a negative review on Steam for AI use... despite there being absolutely *no* AI use in our game.
TL;DR? Give a chance to show that AI wasn't used, or you'll be harming the very same artists you claim to be helping.❤️
Made a little something for SCREAM JAM.
A train that never stops.
Seven days before everything ends.
Enjoy it. It works. Mostly.

community note is correct. mastercard is full of absolute shit and this is a direct admission that the tactics are working. here's their number in case you missed it
Heartworm - the retro, fixed camera survival horror inspired game I have been working on for five years is out NOW on Steam. Please check it out if you're into that sort of thing! And if you enjoy it, leave a review as it really helps! Thank you

Here's what's probably going to happen:
1. Multiple countries other than the UK will demand age verification to access "adult content"
2. VPN usage will spike
3. Those countries will then outlaw VPNs claiming they are doing so "to protect the children and fight terrorism"
4. They will then create voluntary uniform and centralized online IDs to make age verification easier
5. Then the IDs will become required and the government will run AI on all of your internet activity which they can link to you personally
6. Eventually this data will be made available to private companies who will use it to judge your credit worthiness, the prices you pay, etc.
7. Then, the government will begin using the data to "proactively fight crime"
Decentralization of money and infrastructure matters if you value privacy and freedom.
Let me summarize everything that's happened in the last week
>Collective Shout contacts payment processors to get Steam and Itch io to remove adult games
>Steam removes 100s of games and creates a entirely new policy to lick the boots of Payment Processers
>Day later Itch io removes their entire Adult Game category
>UK "Online Safety Act" comes into effect restricting the internet for the entire country to "Protect Children"
>Within 24 hours UK creates a Police Task-force to monitor political opinions of its citizens
>Europe gets hit by "Age Restriction" in some sites too and they find out the "Restricted Internet" is coming for them too
>People find out American bill titled "Kids Online Safety Act" is introduced into Congress to do the same thing
>Wikipedia is being asked to censor itself for the UK
>Search Engines are now stuck in safemode for certain countries restricting internet
>Mouthwashing a horror game on Itch io is removed thanks to Payment Processors and Collective Shout
>UK is trying to force American companies to censor themselves after the "Online Safety Act" came into effect
Stop paying for bad, outdated "retro" effects for #UnrealEngine on FAB.
A new version of my free #UE5RFX project for #UE5 is out now on my Discord!
Feature highlights:
• Fast dithering (no image-based masks)
• PS1-style vertex snapping (done right)
• Affine mapping with optional "fake" tessellation
• Sprite material functions (works with Paper2D)
• N64-style texture filtering
• Proper vertex lighting (no dumb mesh limits)
• Real color palettes for materials & post
…and way more.

Shoutout to everybody at Netflix who decided not to move forward with all the projects David Lynch wanted to do in his final years. I'm sure all the other stuff you greenlit instead was much better.
