Decided to put up a fundraiser to get me out of this hell hole of a town that's destroying my physical and mental health. I had long planned to move to Seattle and get a fresh start and to a point where I could get healthy. If you can't contribute, boosting is fine.

Hello there. My name is unimportant, but I need help. I'm attempting to move … April Horne needs your support for Seeking Support for a Fresh Start in Seattle

I normally don't care about numbers, but this is making me seriously rethink things.

Streaming is fun and I love it, even if I don't know what to stream half the time. But the lack of growth is really doing a number on my mental health and Twitch fucking about with their nonsense isn't helping matters any. 1/2

No stream today. Too much to do offline.

As a final note, please *do not* upload this to rhdn. I remain banned on the site, and I refuse to allow them to use this or any future work for driving traffic. Essentially, if I'm not welcome on the site then my work isn't either.

In the meantime also if you or someone you know is hiring remote or hybrid (Seattle) and are in the market for a software developer or engineering manager with a specialization in Python/backend development, data pipeline and platform work, and strong low-level skills, please HMU!

I hate how software is steadily going to subscription only with no option for a perpetual license. I've been looking at various software to help speed up my workflow and everywhere "Subscribe for $[x]/mo $[xx]/yr". This is the reason why piracy exists.

No stream today. Taking the day off to recharge and figure out what do for next week.

Mastery badge #10. Great game, but it's hampered by balancing issues. Just gaining 1 level makes you go from dough to a piece of steel necessitating serious grinding.

My blood ran cold reading this statement.

The guy is now on X crowing about beating cancel culture (in itself a red flag) and pivoting to right wing grifting, all while other concerns about attribution and sourcing in this book loom like an iceberg. And that's who Bitmaps stand together with now.

Monday 6th October 2025

Dear supporters of Bitmap Books,

Although I stand by the fact that Moses’ comments were ill-advised and insensitive, the whole thing blew up and was made much bigger than it needed to be. Moses has publicly apologised for any offence caused, as has the original poster of the comments who did not intend to cause this much trouble. I do not feel that this warrants an author losing his livelihood and ruining years of hard work to produce the book.

Despite multiple accusations to the contrary, Moses freely agreed to donate his royalties to charity. There was no coercion from me, however we both recognise that due to an increasingly stressful situation that decisions were rushed on both sides. I’m pleased to say that Moses and I have spoken again today, we stand together, and have agreed that he will receive 100% of his royalties.

Maybe I was hasty in my response, and I’m happy to admit to that. At the time I sincerely thought I was doing the right thing to diffuse an increasingly difficult situation. I will commit to donating all company profits from this first print run to the charity, Special Effect.

The bottom line is that is that Moses has apologised for his original comments, and will now be paid the royalties that are rightfully his.

Moses and myself have received a large amount of personal abuse and threats over the past few days. We hope that this statement will bring some closure to what has happened.

Sam Dyer, founder of Bitmap Books

Sorry for no stream today. I've been pulling my hair out trying to run around and get money to tow the car to a shop to get another tire put on it.

The founder did remove the set for the PC-88 game 177.

the retroachievements thing is just another shooting-self-in-dick-balls-feet-neck-whatever. @romhack.ing and @tcrf.net (datacrystal) had to go through something similar w/ deciding on how to handle Those Kinds Of Hacks and we went "fuck this. why would we ever host this garbage. fuck no."

Last repost: I think I'm done with RA. If that's the stance they're going to take, I'll just pivot to something else. It's not like I had viewers anyway. I'll figure out which direction I want the stream to go eventually.

Game's done and dusted. Likely won't master the set, though. I'm not masochistic enough to tackle the low-level challenges.
Despite everything though, this game remains up there as one of my favorite RPGs.
