PSA for anyone who might benefit since I only just learned about this: Affinity is now FREE and it's a fantastic alternative to Adobe's extremely anti-consumer and bloated software!

"video game mechanics?" Actually, they're called developers.

I've decided to release marketingforgames.com before procrastination and perfectionism kick in. What is it? A platform that helps indiedevs discover niche, mid-tier content creators (YouTube-only for now) based on their view and engagement metrics. #gamedev #indiegamedev #gamemarketing #youtube

Nuclear Throne hard carried through a number of years where I just had a terrible laptop, it's so awesome to see this game getting new content! ❤️

You can help struggling creatives pay for the cost of living or you can be a drop in the bucket for some fucking billionaire who hates you, who will use that money for an eighteenth yacht. Or, if he's feeling generous, he'll toss it to the PAC he uses to fund fascism.

we found mushrooms today but not the right kind

Something quietly heartbreaking is when folks (unintentionally) downplay the seriousness of like... current circumstances. When I say "I can't go to that event - I can't safely travel to the USA right now, or maybe ever again" I am voicing my reality, not seeking an optimistic outlook.

it's insane to me that Discord STILL doesn't seem to have a solution for adding new channels to community servers and giving them visibility to existing users making people who aren't Discord-savvy dive into the channels & roles menu to see a channel they should already have access to is painful 😅
