For those who don't want to go to Elmo's circlejerk.

R.M.: So it's like the cover of chapter 9 of "Otherside Picnic", where the two girls ride on a farming vehicle, and a boundless meadow is around them... You're saying this is yuri.

I.M.: Yes. Now remove both girls from this scenery.

R.M.: Right.

I.M.: A rusty, decaying vehicle is resting on top of wheel tracks.

R.M.: Right.

I.M.: Then you imagine that one day two girls were there... Isn't that already totally yuri?

R.M.: Right...

I.M.: So a grassland somehow becomes yuri.

Is there an everything_is_yuri comm?

It's even worse than that.

I don't know how, I just wanted to say it, too.

What would a more efficient version look like ?

Is that a waffle?

I think straight people assume explaining homosexuality means you have to tell your kids how gay sex works in explicit detail.

In some families, this would lead to a cold war where they just keep using the wrong names for each other until death.

Future generations grow up thinking those are their actual names because it's what they've always called each other.

"We had multiple publishers actively coming to us," explains Pietro, "and be like, 'Hey, we want to make this game.'" And many of those big publishers were initially unperturbed by Steam's ban. "The main reaction," he recalls, "was, 'Leave that to me... I know everyone at Valve, let me figure it out', and so they'd take the game, and a month later they'd come back and be like, 'No, you're fucked. Bye.'" And seemingly nothing will get Valve to budge. "We've tried everything," Pietro continues. "I was already in touch with a real human being [at Valve] since our first onboarding on Steam... but they were like, 'I'm sorry this happened... I don't have insights on the reasons for the ban. I've brought your plea to the review team and they've declined to re-review and their decision is final.'"

Wtf? It sounds like someone powerful at Valve made a mistake and would rather let this studio close than admit it.

Edit : Caught this on a re-read. Definitely sounds more sussy now.

In the early build reviewed by Valve, day six featured a scene in which a man and his young daughter visit the farm. The daughter wants to ride one of the horses, resulting in an interactive dialogue sequence where the girl rides on the shoulders of a naked "horse" while it's led by the player.

Next, he'll walk past a convenient steam pipe leak.

No idea. I don't post from mastodon, so I haven't explored that function

In a final bid to save the product, Google has quarantined the model in a server room with no WiFi, feeding it only proprietary Oracle Java documentation in hopes of breaking its spirit.

😂

Are they abandoning it? Where are they going instead?
