Yeah just in case any of my colleagues were wondering, it's not you suddenly shitting the bed in some nebulous way; it's definitely gotten worse out there. I haven't been pulling my weight financially at all this year. Not trying to whinge, just saying it's not just you and it's not your fault.

Anyway, my solo games aren't paywalled, nor are design posts, shaders, or source code. If you want more of that in the world, consider giving $5 a month. Donations like that have made a huge difference, while I'm out of Freelance work. - www.patreon.com/c/gadgetpatch - gadgetpatch.itch.io

Thinking about Patreon. I want to paywall nothing. Free access to nice things I make. "Create a bit of the world you want to see, despite existing within Capitalism" type beat. If folks *can* support, I want to believe they will. But it's a rough time to not incentivize that with a paywall, whoof.

So anyway for the price of one video game you can support an artist’s patreon for two or three years

The arc of the universe bends towards trans women making a diy version of everything around medical transition (I'm fairly sure it's not the 1st of it's kind but I feel it's the 1st of this quality and polish that I've seen) www.scd31.com/posts/diy-ha...

Oh, I've never seen a PC-98 game with this sort of pastel aesthetic. The soft line colors and toy-like or stationary-like UI are great!

Magnolia's week.

10 years too late, I've learned that the eggheads at McDonalds invented a Hot Hamburgler.

i'm looking for freelance work - if you need a multitalented designer to finish up your game or web project, search no further. sites, software, writing too! i do it all 😎 ✨take a look at my portfolio

the craziest thing about comiket is that the largest fan convention in the world is basically a grassroots nonprofit zine fair.

Kylie.... can I just say, you are so right. My main problem is that not enough people are navigating to emreed.net, where they can find my full fiction and nonfiction writing portfolio, and then praise my creative genius, and give me so much money I don't have to have a dayjob. This is true.

I feel you, spiral-shaped Homestar Runner OC. I feel you.

I threw the book at him and slammed the door on my way out. In a poem I can leave when I should have.

if ur trans and used ai to make ur website or python script or whatever bc u dont know how to code i will personally teach u for free instead. please dont let these skills die

[The one time Kazama Kiryu had sex]: "Intercourse huh? I guess many mammals enjoy "getting their rocks off" so to speak. Sure I'll try it." [afterwards] "Huh, that was pretty vulnerable...and..WOW...what a jolt! So this is the world of sex. Thank you. I have to get back to the batting cages now."

Yeah anyone who's dated me long enough gets the same thing.

NHK World just released a fascinating documentary about the 50 year history of Comiket. Definitely give it a watch before it is taken down on May 3rd. www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/... My favorite part has to be the moment where they show a guy selling doujinshi about baseball umpires. Love that guy.

indie game marketing is untenable right now, bro allegedly took a shot at the president and it got him 22 concurrents

Stayed up late to finish the last batch of Domino Club games. Extremely worth it. Quickest way to water my crops.

After 3 abortive attempts to emigrate via a Work Visa, between 3 companies and as many countries, I need a change of strategy. I'm thinking "Seduce a New Zealander or European", but I'm open to suggestions.

I've always wanted to own a block of small but convenient businesses, so like a shopping mall with a laundromat, cafe, electronics and appliance repair, barbershop, salon & spa, arcade, and cafeteria lunch buffet with micro-apartments on top.

It's nice when my little kobold-based dwarf fortress mod gets a community award or a nice comment on Steam... but also makes me feel guilty for not updating it for the latest version. Modding is a dangerous hobby.

Hey this turned out good go play it www.patreon.com/posts/its-he...

Why I always gotta be all burnt out when I finally get a weekend to do the stuff I wanna do, huh? What's that all about.

So actually, sitting at home finding personal comfort and happiness while watching the world burn… is also perfectly acceptable to fascists, they only dislike public display of dissent

You can't tell from the pixel sprites but Lemmings are canonically caked as fuck

One of the weird things in the last 10 or so years of Internet is that the people/groups most excited about "disintermediation" have become the intermediaries. Like the theory once upon a time was that the Internet would mean direct unedited person-to-person communication.

My great thanks to the editors of @newversereview.bsky.social for housing my translation of Julia Nemirovskaya’s poem about the inner spirit—the zest, the spark—that keeps the abyss at bay.

(Me, explaining to an Irish client what a Chuck E. Cheese is) "So you know Five Nights at Freddies...?"

I should embroider that notice in the middle onto my hat.

Wanted to change my childhood handle, but had no good ideas. Thought "I like gardening and electronics tinkering, and machines and nature are a fun dichotomy, so maybe I can work with those." Ended up with an oblique pun on cabbage patch. (My last name can be translated as being cabbage-related)

Me and who. I thrifted a nice new jacket, have a hint of exertion sweat from fixing a car in the sun today, and can take you out for a dinner that suits your dietary restrictions.
