I already mentioned how much I LOVE how comfy @eightysixed.com's shirts are, so I wanna say that I HAD HAD HAD to get the Ms. Fortune shirt when it was announced! The shirts are super soft & great for mobility, not stiff at all! Didn't have enough hands to share my whole collection of their shirts!

every time this gets brought up the argument is then WELL THEN WE'D HAVE TO PAY EVERYONE WHO WORKS ON THE GAME ROYALTIES SO IT'S JUST NOT DOABLE

but what if we did pay everyone royalties. :) what if people got compensated for their work :)

Voice actors never get paid royalties on video games. It's one of the biggest scars on the industry as a whole.

Who else remembers a few years ago when the Jujutsu Kaisen movie made almost 200 million at the box office and the dub cast got like $300 tops
Ask literally any voice actor if they get royalties from the video games they worked on.

They will tell you no. They might even laugh.

Now imagine any developer actively trying to use AI VO to save money wanting to offer something like that.
Also, re: "they get royalties", how much money is that? Does it make up for the lack of continued work?

Paying next to nothing is still "getting paid royalties" but is functionally nothing.

Kind things I've received from indie devs:

Copies of their games, sometimes special editions & extras to give away!
Merch of their games~
Cookies, chocolates~
Bonus pay that's around or more than several times the recording session rate!

Great for morale.

Honest talk, the closest thing to royalties I receive are from indie developers who understand the success of their products & offer bonuses to the cast, sometimes for even re-using our audio in future installments. Sometimes they offer copies/gifts! Unheard of for bigger companies, for some reason.

Learning your trauma responses is part of therapy.

The best way for me to identify most of them so far is when I'm "emotionally allergic". Like an immune system kicking into overdrive, I may be sensitive to or feel very sensitive.

If you're SUPER lucky, your support group can help identify others.

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Well this is not a nice start to my week. Someone reported to me that a kickstarter uses my pictures and it’s really sickening because they’re ALL mine with FREAKING AI bg. I already filed a copyright claim but it makes me sick.

Hmm...

The vibe I get when people turn what you have/don't have into a contest of suffering, is that they may not understand the fallacy of relative privation.

Or: "No one is allow to be happy."

Doing some clearing out ahead of the festive season and found this throwback to when I replayed the original Legend of Zelda as Nintendo intended.
