Feel free to skip the next segment if you're just interested in the results or discussion about current things stress you out.
Don't worry I'll not talk too much but these matters have affected me personally so it's gotten me a bit heated the last couple days -w-
Alas, this last few days have been.... kinda stressful for me not gonna lie x3. Mostly about two things.
Firstly, the itch io thing. Despite the fact that my game didn't have any full nudity, but adult themes like gambling and such, that still meant it got hit by the activitists in their shotgun approach attacking payment processers.
Secondly, the UK government overnight turning their citizens into burdens to the rest of the digital world! Seeing some mature topic sites have already blocked our IPs (understandably to avoid bullshit fees), or shut down, I guess it's time to start using VPNs. Friends have recommended protonvpn if you also think you'll need one.
If you're a UK user though and you don't want to trust VPNs for some reason, my bluesky is in the links and my discord server you can ask to join. These aren't safe from the same overreach, but at least they have the infrastructure in place to handle the UK's bullshit.
There are petitions for both of these if these effect you, but not sure what the rules are for linking those on here.
Tldr - Congrats to the winners! Shits fucked but don't let that get you down uwu

i hope to be a winner of a raffle someday ^^
just doing the manageable amount of of work to not burn out!!
also don't really follow much things like this UK thing but did hear about it whole Itch.io stuff
Wonder who the last winner is going to be.
Also the shit that's happening in the UK, along with Itch.io being forced to take down stuff due to the protests, is pretty shitty honestly.
