💵 MONEY for GAME? In 2026??? 💵

There have been more and more successful-game-devs-turned-game-funders popping up, so here's a lil' thread of some of the more recent ones I've seen.

Hopefully this helps you get some $$$! 🔽

wanting "training" for agents of government brutality suggests that their teachers will teach them away from violent tactics - but this is the precise way they have been trained, and their propensity for violence is why they have been hired. it is a system that rewards and protects violent behaviour
side discussion but anyone saying the real issue with ICE is a lack of proper training is subtly arguing for increased funding and should probably be ignored going forward regarding all substantive matters

'Data from hundreds of public bodies in England shows only four complaints about transgender women in women’s single-sex spaces over a period of three years'

Sounds like a non-issue being spun to stoke hate against a minority by bad faith 'feminists'.

Almost no one is complaining about trans women in women's spaces, study finds - LGBTQ Nation

As you're reading this — literally right now — FTSE 100 CEOs have just been paid as much as an entire year's wage for the median full time worker. After just a couple of days back. I haven't even cleared my inbox yet.

I agree but it's also fun to push back on this feeling by making your own website and linking to other websites with fun little buttons that people can click on to discover new pages. It's a new year, consider making your own website with Neocities or whatever
