Please share and donate if you can. I need all the help I can to get through July and the rest of my recovery.

I was hit by a car last year and I really am ready for this long recovery to finally finish up.

I miss being able to walk

Hey folks, please share or donate if you can. Anything helps. This month has been especially hard and I'm trying to make it that final stretch until I start getting paid again on the 29th.

If I can get to 70% of the goal I'll be able to know for sure that my September rent is covered. Hopefully this is the last month I need to be asking for money like this as I go back to work next week. I will just be owing insurance premiums on my checks when I return.

AI is becoming so realistic. This AI has captured perfectly that asshole friend of yours at the bar who always seems to know insane amounts of trivia but you catch him making shit up once and then you realize that it was definitely not the first time he did that.
I honestly can’t believe there are still any AI skeptics out there. This tech is obviously revolutionary

Been playing Marathon for the first time lately and it's such a cool game.

As much of a boomer shooter head as I am, I still think there is a huge void in games that follow in Half-Life's footsteps. HL influenced so many games, for fuckin years!!
Hey! New article! This one's about the history of first person shooters, what makes 'em work, and why I like the shooters I like. It's also me lamenting how they've died, and talking a bit about why I want to go ahead and make one.

first person shooters are extremely fun, but the industry rarely makes the ones i like anymore
There’s something about that anticipation as your dropship passes over open ocean and the fighting on the beach comes into view…

Said this same thing to myself a few months ago lol. Must've been something in the air.
*clears throat*

Games built around parry mechanics are just a different kind of Quick Time Event.

*Ducks and runs*
I don't know how to structure the argument, but "Souls games focused on parry mechanics have dominated the market mostly because parry is the least specific-skill-required form of combat that never the less makes you Feel skilled" would be a fun article that would piss off a whole bunch of dudes

I am still on unpaid leave until the middle of August. Anything helps me stay fed and keep a roof over my head until things get back to normal for me.

It does what now

Really thinking about giving in to this primal feeling to juggle like 4 or 5 RPGs at a time because I'm in an RPG mood. I'm also on unpaid leave until like mid August so I really don't have much better to do.

Finally seeing what the hype is all about with The Witcher 3. Recovering from a heavy surgery is probably the best time for me to do this lol.

This is a really good article that discusses a lot of problems I also see with Cozy games, putting a lot of words to thoughts I have had. Especially after having an awful time giving the game "Lake" a chance.

Great work @docseuss.bsky.social

Literally anything helps.

I am on unpaid leave while recovering from surgery and I am the sole provider of my household. I have no family to help me out so I am reliant on my friends and the community during this time.
