I'm not saying that it's always been quite *this bad* but I am saying that I'm in my 40s and this has always been the America / US culture that I've known. If you grew up poor and with any identity-based marginalization, I'm willing to bet it's the America you always knew too.
This is the result of decades of civic poisoning by Fox News and right-wing echo chambers and channels.

here's our rough pallet for day and night in the game!

with the day having a summer lo-fi vibe

and the night having a neon cyberpunk feel

the night will be the down time when you manage the shop and budget

the day is for customers

🛠️ Right to repair:

We helped bring the EU’s Right to Repair Directive to life to tackle e-waste.

We are closer to reducing the staggering amount of e-waste generated, but we have not yet made universal right to repair a reality. Find out how we can!

any advice on either
1) marketing on no budget?
or
b) doing scheduling on zero budget and across several countries?

cause right now I'm struggling

People have begun demonstrating at Tesla outlets against the agenda of Elon Musk and other tech billionaires who are seeking to consolidate power under Donald Trump.

These actions are assuming different forms in different places.

In this thread, we will review a few of them.

originally we were thinking of setting the game on the pacific trash gyre, in the end we decided to separate the two ideas and come back to the idea of an intentional community on the pacific trash gyre another time.

If we ever did we'd include discoveries like this:

For the demo we have 3 very basic stories

- a guy with a wheelchair that needs a repair
- a woman with a prosthetic arm she doesn't want
- and a woman with a locked prosthetic because of missed payments

for the larger game we have around 25 characters

The game will have a range of stories, for example one will feature a character who was born without an arm and how she was pressured by her family to get a prosthetic she didn't want to make the people around her feel better.

so she comes to you to help her sell sell it to someone who needs it.

If your subtitles aren't readable, then they are NOT accessible.

I appreciate that they have an option to change the handwriting to print, but these subtitles are PAINFUL!
