Hey, Mimi was thoughtful and put together a bundle for us, and it would mean the world to me if you can spare the $$ to help support me & friends get through this season with Creator Day proceeds!

Pigeon for your attention 🙏

Seems like a great day to fight.

I'm less than 200 battles away from the shiny charm in Pokemon Legends ZA. What better way to spend a Friday than chilling, chatting, and beating people up?

I'll be live on Twitch and YouTube at 2!

Yes, I have a job and don't have $80 for a decent bed.

My paycheck goes straight to rent, food, utilities and paying off credit card debt that I ran up when I became homeless a few years ago.
Can any one spot me $80 to buy a bedframe please?

It's almost half off & I've been sleeping on a shitty mattress for a year.

I know there are so many others who have bigger needs, but if there's someone who has an abundance of resources, I could really do with a new bed 💜

it's wild how many "original creator videos" are just unmarked ads. Maybe it's the same loophole that the Democrats used during the last primary, or something similar. Micro brands are just subsidiaries of macro brands.

I have the occasional sex dream and that's w/e, it happens. I just had my first confession of love romance dream about a real person where I gave the most banger "I avoid you because when I look at your face I see the life we could have together" speech of all time. Ten times more embarrassing.

"Death of the Author" doesn't mean separating the author's bad behaviour from their art. It means taking away their authority and allowing readers to interpret the art based on their own perspectives. It doesn't absolve the author of being a bastard, in fact it may inform how you interpret the art.

Because I can't afford Digimon Time Stranger, I am replaying Time Cyber Sleuth until winter passes and I want to be alive again maybe. 100%ing this shit.

I've been out of the ttrpg game for a long time, but ever since I released my first one the policy has been "steal this shit if you wanna". Anything I ever make, pirate that shit. I'd rather people get to experience my creations without stressing the wallet. Share it around idgaf.
if you pirate my games, yayy!! hope you have fun playing :)

If you read and enjoyed Real Hero Shit, or Tell No Tales, or any of my other books, leave a nice review somewhere! Not only is it nice, it helps sell the book!
For graphic novels, especially adult genre fiction, it's incredibly helpful to review it online, talk about it, recommend it to a friend—adult fiction in the graphic novel space is difficult to place, and nothing convinces readers that they'll like a book more than the personal testimonial.
If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!

This has been bothering me a lot lately, but on a broader scope. People are afraid to be original. Critiques are all the same, jokes are copy/pasted, opinions use a handful of buzzwords that don't actually describe anything. It's like drowning in a sea of masks that all wear the same face.
One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.

i've been watching Pluribus because the concept is interesting, but it's such a strange watch. There are cultural and racial layers that aren't purposefully being explored, but it could go in a better direction from here, idk.

SJ has been one of the few people in my life that has quite literally gotten me through so fucking much. Please give if you can—he deserves the world and all of the comfortability that is able to be given.

He’s a brilliant game developer, an incredible creator, and a beautiful friend. 🖤
I've got an opportunity lined up that should keep me solvent once it starts, but it won't be until about mid-late January, and I'm essentially at the last of my savings now. The $4000 I'm asking for here (ko-fi.com/sjhdoesgames) should be enough to keep me covered until that time. (2/3)
