Heya! I'm Archie, a monkey fur in the macro/micro community! I write, I develop games (sometimes), and I love making new friends! DMs absolutely allowed, but please keep in mind it may take time to respond! <3

They introduce pinned posts today!

So wanna lay some things out that I want in the forefront (Probably a thread):

First, I am terrible at following up with people and initiating conversations. We might never speak if we don't talk, and you're waiting for me to start that conversation.

We know almost nothing about the project overall other than that it's a CRPG (which tracks).

But importantly: every party member is romanceable. They are both party members.
THEM

I know the game only just got kickstarter funding

BUT THEM THO

(From Starfinder: Afterlight. The big guy's name is Kole Stryker, the little guy's Tycho.)
I think your monsterboys are absolutely perfect, if grossly underserved compared to your other OCs.

We need way more love for them!

Monkeying around... 🐒

Commission for the always lovely @secondgust.bsky.social 🍌
I was fine with them up until around the time Iwata passed, then Reggie left. Everything feels like it just kinda took a slow and gradual decline across the board.

The Switch 2's many issues are far and away the latest, but I've had many other grievances in the past.

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.
I don't have a lot of friends. No one in real life, and few online. But it feels like everyone I'm close to is in so much pain and I feel so powerless.

This isn't about any one person, much as the timing of this post might suggest otherwise. My heart breaks and I can't do anything to help.
Fair enough. Well... if ever there is anything you think I could do, my door's always open to you.

Just know that you are loved by your friends here. And while that love can be felt more keenly in proximity, it's no less real.
I don't know if anyone is ever happy in solitude. And maybe that's a "grass is greener" sentiment, but I've been in solitude for most of my life and I feel like I'm close to a nervous break constantly, desperate for human connection.

I consider you a friend and I want to help however I can.
Hmm... I mean, I can only share my own experiences. I honestly felt my entire life change going to my first Anthrocon. I went from being shy and uncertain about who and what I am as a person to fully embracing it.

That's not going to be everyone's experience, of course. But it's why I encourage it.
It feels like the manifestation of that common postcard image that just reads "Wish You Were Here!" and just shows everyone except you having fun. It can feel very isolating.

I hope that, someday, you'll be able to go to a con. I think it would be really good for you. No pressure, though!

VoidCo has some of the best benefits for all their workers, including some secret benefits~
Just make sure not to get caught! 👀🐊

Look at this cool art from @sinibunnn.bsky.social YO HE COOKED!! 🔥🔥🔥
You're describing my feed almost exactly, and I love it!

No confrontational jerks, no mean-spirited people that I can see...

It's pleasant here compared to there!

Intense people with voices way bigger than mine (and not in a fun macro/micro way) can be extremely intimidating and make me not want to voice when I don't feel comfortable.
Then also, I tend to have a big issue with stuff not being tagged properly on places like FA and elsewhere so that I don't have to see what I don't want to look at.

Yet constantly, I feel like bringing that up is going to cause people to go off on my ass in a way I do not want to invite upon myself
I hate being a non-confrontational person sometimes, online and irl.

Today, while I was waiting for the crossing light to change, some random dude decided to just completely ignore the traffic lights and just cross. One of the big reasons drivers hate pedestrians is that shit right there.
I don't know the specifics of the things and people you're talking about, but know that you've got friends in this community, at least, who are willing to hear you if only you speak to them.
