It really is just money in the pocket for indies; so many folks *want the thing*, they just haven't heard of it, in my experience.
In Reddit in particular, self-promotion is heavily discouraged, so we rely heavily on fans and peers to bring up our work when relevant.
have been noticing more remakes releasing to this kind of reception lately
an exhaustive, infuriating look at the labor being churned through to make AI companies rich and their models sound human. in countless ways, AI has always been propped up by human labor, lives that tech’s boy-kings are setting ablaze with glee
Midnight Muscadines by @pandiongames.com!!!
Another thing you’re stealing from James….. smh
Congrats, this is so awesome!!!
I watched this yesterday, it's so good
screenshot from etsy of an "annotated books" item where this person will mark up emily henry novels for you (???) currently priced at $146.92
Very impressed that someone else's inane annotations in a used book have historically led me to think "ugh I can't believe I paid $3 for this," but on BookTok/Etsy people are paying $100+ for the experience.
My friends, today is the day my new book with @superdillin.bsky.social is out!
Available everywhere books are sold, the Ultimate RPG Villains Backstory Guide is your companion for making the the best of the worst!

ooo I get those too! I got one once while I was asleep but I didn't fully wake up so I just started screaming from the pain until my partner checked on me
It was weird cause I was like "dream awake" where I knew it happened but I wasn't aware at the time
heck yeah!!!
Which is to say, I’m unbelievably thrilled to say this morning I’ve signed a contract with @mitpress.bsky.social for the trade publication of my next book, an exploration of the first two decades of TTRPG Actual Play.
oh man I would have bought that 100%
They're shrink-flating Fortnite
There's no better time to deep dive on Silent Hill than on the first sunny day of the year, right? www.mothership.blog/silent-hill-...
Good morning Bsky!!!
The downside of years of not doing this properly is that I have to watch back a bunch of videos to make edits/uploads. I really need to make this process easier somehow...

I'm not sure what you're asking
"HAVE YOU GUYS SEEN-" no. Intentionally. No.
I could MAYBE forgive the Mature Content one, but the combo is just... it's giving "high school philosophical AIM away message"
"I don't find this style of creating interesting"
OMG HE HATES TAYLOR SWIFT
Screenshot from the Steam store: The AI Generated Disclosure is simply "minimal, diegetic" and the Mature Content Description reads: "language, topics"
I can't describe how either of these would prevent me from playing your game, both of them together makes me wonder wtf is going on with you
There's a part of me that loves reading these interviews with AI-obsessed dingdongs, because if you ignore the horrible humanity-destorying way that AI works, what it takes to power it, the ecological toll it takes on the planet...
It still sounds like total Willy Wonka bullshit
I'm officially requesting we bring kindess to Marathon
He cares about diversity and inclusion because it gets people to buy the product. And with Harry Potter, he doesn't care who it hurts because it will get people to buy the product.
He's the CEO of a billion dollar company, he has no morals, no ethics, no values.
Only Eternal Greed for More.
Man.
The world fucking is on fire.
So go be as corny and cringe as you wanna be without hurting people.
Live whats left of your only life.
If you can’t be free in your body at least go be free in your mind and soul.
Fuck the haters.
Remember how Nintendo made one of the coolest consoles ever and brought literally none of them to their new console???
Been a sec since we've run one of these threads: Hey there, we're Unwinnable! We've been publishing 100% independent pop culture criticism since 2010.
Since we mainly count on reader funding, our writers write what's on their minds -- not what's best for the algorithm or investors.
@mitchyd.bsky.social? historically chill person
Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.
It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.
Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.
Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.
Perfect explanation
Still giving your money to WOTC is a fucking wild choice. You are funding someone who is ok with full throated transphobia.
Chris Cocks believes you should just separate the art from the artist, which is impossible when the art directly funds transphobia.
