Delayed Update

Going into this month, I had planned to share a progress update on Chapter 3 by the end of the month. I have a number of things prepared for this already, and a general idea of what it's going to look like, but despite trying to get it out yesterday or today, I just haven't been in the right headspace. Every day, for almost a week now, some new crisis has emerged, sometimes multiple on the same day. I've been trying to calm down and get back into making things again, but it's been difficult. I will try to have the update ready for everyone some time in the next few days.
 
 Meanwhile, as some of you have probably noticed, Itch has done stuff again. FREE NSFW games are now being re-listed in search, and presumably in recommendations as well. I have temporarily turned off the ability to tip/donate on the first CS game as a result, and it is now appearing in search again. Itch has re-iterated that Stripe is gone, and that they are in the process of securing card processors willing to handle NSFW transactions. 

This is a detail that a lot of people still aren't aware of, so I'll reiterate again: it's not just a matter of VISA/Mastercard setting policies. Transactions with a "Visa" card are still fundamentally transactions between banks, and those banks have their OWN sets of policies for what they're willing to do business in. NSFW/Porn "receivership"/merchant banks for cards have been a thing for decades; the problem is because the business is supposedly "high risk" their rates are higher, near double in many cases. Not for customers, but for Itch, which they will then directly pass on to creators, as they currently do. Plus side, maybe more durable to further challenges and harassment. Downside, more of creators income goes directly to the card companies that caused this problem in the first place. But we'll see how it all ends up. 

We have passed 100 new subs!

Thanks to Spikeyxd. A round of applause there, and for everyone. You've been incredible the past few days. I'll do my best, once I've taken a breath here, to continue making the filthy bunny smut you all crave (as do I).
