lets talk on big issue for artists, REVIEWS. lot of discussion on how to feel about these things when youve put so much work into your art. usually buds will assure you 'dont worry, that negative review is wrong,' but i disagree. i think it is important to remember that NEGATIVE REVIEWS are correct

We had always planned to launch today, but it seems more necessary now than ever, so here goes: @brianbarnett.bsky.social, @hokutolucas.bsky.social, and I are launching an independent games website today called Skybox. You can read our welcome letter/mission statement here:

"was making between $15-20 per article of 500-1000 words and that's including the "bonus" I got for being good enough to have "self publish status." They continued to pile on more requirements to the point that I was making maybe $5/hour before I just decided to walk"

Running out of gaming websites that I’m still willing and happy to visit.
What a shit show of an industry.
Employee-owned businesses are starting to seem like the only ethical, high quality options.
Business bros can’t accomplish anything except personal enrichment at the expense of everything.

I can imagine a lot of people who published articles on Gamurs sites are rushing to back up their posts somewhere.
Obviously there are a lot of ways to do this, but I liked using Obsidian and the web clipping tool.
Formats nicely, includes meta data and images, and is easy to organize.

Incredibly weird way to describe having fun playing with toys.
Also, “impossible odds?” Not how game design works.

I want you to remember the last time you saw a leaflet hung in public about topics of resistance
Remember how it made you feel like you aren’t alone in the fight
That leaflet was hung by one person
Do not be discouraged. You are not alone. Choose your weapon and fight
