I think people underestimate their ability to help support a game just by telling a friend about it.
If I hear a designer talk about their game, I'm not usually convinced.
If my friend Will tells me to check out a game, I'm looking.
Your words, oftentimes, are just as powerful as your wallet.

I've found the one thing I could claim to be my corporeal form no longer belongs to me. Even my name has been stolen, though only in part.
But this is no great loss; I am still here... I think.

My son ran for class treasurer and won. Tonight he was talking ab the kid who won the presidency: “He just promises stuff like new soccer fields. He said it to get elected.”
<pauses>
“But I’m the treasurer. I control the money. So it’s never going to happen. This is where the real power is.”

Remember last year when all of us on BlueSky agreed to tell all the new people that posts were called "skeets" as a joke to see if they'd believe us? Well, I'm worried that it's gone too far.

Asked my 12yo, "What weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of bricks?"
Answer: "A pound of feathers, because you have to carry the weight of what you did to those poor birds."
