I have just paid the artist doing the graphics for my upcoming Patreon and I could not be happier! (I will tell you who is at launch.)

The sublime peace of a laundromat all to yourself.

we all deserve happiness like this

This is a prime example of an older generation wanting to have their cake and eat it too and this doesn't just apply to Japan. People everywhere make a big fuss about declining birthrates but will come out against policies that make having and raising kids a viable option.

Japan: We’re going to die off as a country because of population decline… 😭 Immigrants: Can we stay here, integrate, and continue to be valuable members of society? Japan: Haha. No. Moms: Can I have the support and benefits when I have a child? Japan: HAHAHA. No.

Since I haven't found a job in the year since my unemployment ran out, I'm throwing the link to the GFM with a slightly raised goal. I hate it but things are getting dire and nothing seems to be working out. gofund.me/202b9a87a

I started leveling Viper in FFXIV. It is an idiot job for idiot children. I am allllll about it!

my heart goes out to all the talented creatives at Bungie who struggled under catastrophic mismanagement for years trying to make a good game who will likely be thrown into the worst games job market in history

Why do I always forget how hot Japan gets in the summer? Every damn time.

Okay, Patreon stuff is coming together. Oh, this is exciting!

You only, as a human, have the bandwidth to give a shit about only so much in a given day. Pick your battles, fight like hell, and give yourself some grace.

In only ONE day, a new home awaits you, and a new community can't wait to meet you. 🏡👋 It'll be the easiest move-in day you'll ever have! 📦 Greenhearth Necromancer launches on May 11th! Wishlist the game on Steam to get notified of our launch: store.steampowered.com/app/2127570/...

this! it's also why i encourage people to designate who the 'producer' of the project is on a game jam, so you don't encounter the inevitable result of one person taking up a lot of unseen/unplanned labour keeping everything+everyone organised in addition to their agreed-upon team role/duties

The fight goes on. Game development will unionize, it’s natural once you look at the industry’s history. For years, companies have pushed past the bounds of the social contract. What’s changing now is simple: more workers are choosing to stand their ground instead of walking away. #solidarity #GWU

I strongly support worker rights and offer my voice and platform to help spread the word. The games industry is brutal on employees and and effort to make their lives better and their relationship to work healthier is worthwhile.

Not sure what the netiquette is here, but I am reposting some of my posts that I made on Japan time for the folks asleep whilst I am awake. Not sure if that's bad form or not because the internet is weird, but that's what's what.

Some of these new Japanese immigration laws make things a bit more difficult for yours truly. Hrm.

Big Serious Question: If I were to start a Patreon, what sort of content would you want to see from me?

Sign it!!! Better games industry for all of us!

I owe many people many replies. Please be patient with me. I moved to another country and started a new job and I am so small.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

I finally have internet and an unlimited data plan. Japanese paperwork and bureaucracy is no fucking joke.

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

You know I had to draw fan art of the vamps of @dimension20.dropout.tv's City Council of Darkness #Dimension20 #CityCouncilofDarkness #Vtm

The manga is so good, I hope this gets attention

this is the only kind of news on want on my feed for the next month or three, thx

Conversely, if you like varied shenanigans live, drop a twitch sub my way yeah? Twitch.tv/cypheroftyr

My birthday is Sunday & it would be great to get my @patreon.com to where it could at least cover rent after fees & such. If even a 1/4th of the people who follow joined at $1 that could happen. $5 patrons get early access to the podcast I do with @deejayknight.bsky.social Patreon.com/cypheroftyr

one thing you can do for your laid off friends is reach out to them and tell them that you appreciated their work. I dislike the stigma in America of people avoiding talking to you because you were callously cut out of employment because people who have no taste deleted you from a spreadsheet

Trains. Pretty great.

Is this a good time to once again repost this Something Positive strip that Dear Uncle Randy made a few years back? Answer: Unfortunately, it is. It shouldn't have to be, but it is.
