I know a lot of folks don't realize this, but AGDQ and SGDQ are not the only times of year that GDQ is live!
We have a TON of speedrun shows nearly every day through the GDQ Hotfix Programming, where you get to see a whole slew of talent and games that don't always get to be on mainline!

In case you're unaware, in the US if you're disabled from birth the only monetary support you can receive is SSI. SSI has a $2k asset/savings limit before they dock your benefits, and marriage cancels all benefits. See below numbers: beyond poverty numbers w/ no allowed addition. Eugenics in action.

It's officially hard to find Music for Trailers on YouTube. It feels like over half the video game arrangements are from AI VGM YouTube channels!
Send me some REAL recommendations of VGM artists I might not know about!

This 💯 and we find out exactly how much of a performance it is, the minute we stop masking. 😣
Belonging is not the same as being included.
Most autistic adults have been included our whole lives.
Included in schools that hurt us.
Included in workplaces that drained us.
Included in families that misunderstood us.
Inclusion without safety is performance.

Doc appointment tomorrow that I just don't want to deal with, and I'm desperately in need of an admin day for things like taxes, consolidating the feedback for FPE stuff and planning out the next event dates this year, but all my burnt out autistic brain wants to do is play Minecraft.

As a reminder you NEED to own Sonic Mania and its DLC on Steam to play Sonic Megamix Mania!!!
If you still don't own them, and want to play the mod, now's as good time as any to pick them up, for 10 more days they are dirt cheap!
