I'm terrible at representing my own worth.
I'm a guy from Utah trying to find balance. Aspirations for creating art through music and writing, but fighting against the tides of trauma that hinder my attempts. I enjoy artwork and discourse.

Had a few friends find this chart to be somewhat helpful. I sympathize with the frustration. I hope you can find a way around it. I greatly enjoy your artwork.

I definitely don't want to silence criticism like an old man yelling for the kids to keep it down. Something just feels off and I'm having a hard time articulating it in a constructive way. Friends lining up to watch it every year like Superbowl feels like feeding the beast but they're having fun ig

I get a little frustrated that people expect integrity from TGA every year. They seem to have always been this way. Connections and barely concealed money under the table.
Hearing about one game being in nearly every category for awards like that doesn't feel right.

Might want to look at recent news about plex. I heard it is currently shooting itself in the foot.

In-group out-group culture has been bred to an extreme. People who think about their food are more likely to question other things. People are looking for any sign of enemy in their neighbors... Cutting my rant off here because I could go on about USA faults for a good long time.

Yeah, trying to lose weight was an eye opener. Suddenly became the person people made fun of as I portioned things and paid extra for decent bread.

Ah, awesome! You're a dev! The first post I responded to just happened to show up in my discovery tab.
I appreciate you saying this. I've wondered if it would be appreciated if I were to create content (see: lazy YT vids) highlighting indies. I'm better motivated if I see something as a service.

My wallet loves the idea of Silksong being $20 when I finally get around to buying it. On the other hand I think it harms the perception of indie games when it comes to pricing. It's a topic worth delving into, at the very least.

I come from the algorithm. Blsky has deigned to show me this dish on my feed and I must ask for the recipe. I feel like this could be so nice to have this weekend.

Apologies for adding to my own reply, but I had a thought right after this.
When I try to talk up the more niche games like the one I listed above, price is immediately brought up. I'm not the most liquid but I would still advocate paying $25-30 that's asked for these little games. Hard to sell tho

Look up Hidden Deep on Steam. Solo dev that's been plinking away at this little movie thriller inspired game for the past few years. It's not too bad either.

Wow, did the algorithm just send me tiny octopus from Imgur out of the blue? AND Waffles? They look delicious.

I came here to say that! I wondered at the time how many people were confused why they had to look away from the pot for nearly a full minute in order to complete the puzzle. Charming as hell.

This happened on the project silverfish discord after I got stuck in geometry. I asked for help because I had decent loot and someone threw the dev debug key combo at me. Noclipped out. I was very grateful.
I got SULFUR wishlisted. I hope to play it soon! Friends highly recommend it.

The phrasing. Made me think you did a Rico Rodriguez stunt from Just Cause.
Yeah fuses keep you safe. Just be careful and plan your movements ahead.

Is it at all common for one to feel at war with themselves when trying to do something creative? Like fighting distraction to sit down and write, only to face a buildup of more distraction and pain.
I guess what I'm asking is if there's been any posts about how CPTSD affects creativity I missed?

I couldn't find the land ballot measure. My confusion was the fact I can see billboards and TV commercials all over the place about it. It appears it wasn't a ballot measure but a public influence campaign.
