Hello lads and lasses,
It's been a while again as i have disappeared after my last update - I'm trying to find ways to stop doing that and to better manage my scheduling.
I apologize for the sudden disappearance and i thank you for your patience as i find ways to help with scheduling.
Today's topic is a much more tangible one than before - Global Censorship has been enacted for various platform for those who live in the UK and the EU.
Living in France, i am also hit by the full censorship of Twitter which prevent me from seeing the content from the people which i follow.
This is very annoying as this ways the only interesting part of twitter for me and this had been taken away under the false pretense of "protecting kids" aka matching data to your profile for easy silencing.
This censorship has also affected Steam and itch.io thanks to the pressure of Payment processors which have threatened them into removing the games from their platform.
Both of these censorship are unacceptable and should be punished by the people and law, but because it's under the guise of children protection from porn it's okay to them.
Petitions have been started to fight back and actions have been led by the people in order to counteract those malicious actions. (More on this at the end.)
Of course being affected by the situation i have no choice but to find solutions to this problem on my own level.
Therefore, i took the decision to open an account on Bluesky which will be a secondary channel for updates.
Adding to this only links will be posted on the twitter at appropriate timing in order to redirect the flow of viewers.
In other news i still haven't publicized the existence of this website, which i should have had but i have been a bit bothered by it's current state and the lack of updates.
Therefore i have allocated time for working only on the update so i could actually release more stuff for everyone.
Something i have been toying with is to maybe return the concept of the Festival News as a monthly recap of stuff.
i'll see what i'll do about it but the idea is still interesting to me.
Anyhow that's enough Yapping for one update so i'll stop there for now.
Here are some of the links if you are interested in taking steps to repel the Censorship that is appearing :

Anyhow, i'll see you next friday, lads and lasses !
