No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I feel like most of the community on itch was either there for horror games or nsfw games? Im curious on what gamedevs will do or go now that itch has changed. They cant really go to steam sense itch was sorta the free way to post. Also how are players or you reacting to this?

nutaku? They advertised with iAMAs on reddit...

I wonder if they're hiring?

They already re-indexed NSFW games that are free & are working to find alternative payment processors for the paid ones. This is less a itch.io problem & more a Visa/Mastercard problem since even Steam are powerless against them.

Sell them for bitcoin instead. Boom solved.

No idea but it would be hilarious if they did something like sell t-shirts, candles, stickers on Etsy or something and then give you a free download of the games

Can't run out of loopholes as a seamatress.

Well I've seen the trick on a car Restoration show. At a car show they had a white t-shirt and a sign that said "t-shirt $20000 comes with a free car"

So not an original idea by me but it's what made me laugh when I read the post

Now that I think about it the sticker or t-shirt could just have a printed on qr code to download the thing, one time use qr code might work if that's a thing ... And if it let you upload something to the qr code afterwards so the next lesson to try and use it would get something else. No one would even know lol

And illegal gambling. The poker game is free to play, but you need to spend $20 to reserve the seat. Reservations last till you run out of chips.

Oooh I hadn't even connected that one

https://jastusa.com/ (NSFW) seems unaffected currently and vendors on itch have been using them as well.

They’ll have to start performing on OnlyFans and then start up a PG persona on YouTube with their linktree in the bio and keep making subtle references to “spicy content”.

While they’re getting slapped with tentacles they’ll have their game playing in the background and when someone asks about it they’ll take out their ballgag and explain they’re sorry but they’re unable to distribute it to them.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

I get the joke, but how does onlyfans slide by?

WTF? Do they have dirt on finance execs or something?

…Actually that would make a lot of sense…

[–] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Based on what Steam did, isn't uh, specific categories of NSFW that were removed? Or has itch gone 100% no NSFW?

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Itch delisted ALL Nsfw games, rather than sorting and qualifying content.
