I'm just me. General oddity.

It's hard when your body is so tired that you're falling asleep where you are sitting. So, you go to bed, but the second you lay down, your mind jolts you awake and it will not stop.

Love is love. The love between consenting adults should have no barriers.

You should be willing to die at your shitty job so that rich people's grandkids have minimal interruptions in their lifestyles-it's the right thing to do. #GOPDeathPanels

I love our Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham! From the beginning she's been proactive and I have full faith that she is doing what's best, right and fair for New Mexicans. #coronavirus

An anon account has been naming abusers in the games industry. Alexis Kennedy is one of them. I can't speak to the motives of the anon, but Alexis is a well-known predator in the games industry. I have been warning people about him for years.

@alienmelon Reading your story was rough on me. I have a similar story from working as an engineer. Sitting in the bathroom stall, crying over the keyboard while coding, and more. I ended up forced out of my profession because I developed a chronic illness.

Thank you for sharing.

@David_Edgrrr @SputzeeD @ooblets But, yes, they took money from the gaming community, from the public, through Patreon as part of funding their work on the game. That was the original question that was asked.

[Bella Phoenix @PhoenixBella]

@David_Edgrrr @SputzeeD @ooblets Indies do NOT typically get that much stable income. Period. Do I wish more game devs got those levels of stable support? Guess what? I do.

They were clearly relatively successful with the game and haven't even released it yet! Good on them for that!

[Bella Phoenix @PhoenixBella]

@David_Edgrrr @SputzeeD @ooblets And your defensiveness over simply stating that they were relatively well funded (in such a risky business) is noted as well.

[Bella Phoenix @PhoenixBella]

@David_Edgrrr @SputzeeD @ooblets For a 2 person indie team, getting publisher money (and of course publishers want to give as little as possible), and a good amount of monthly patreon money is being pretty well funded.

Your assumption that I've never worked in gamedev or the software industry is noted.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

We should cancel it.

[Bella Phoenix @PhoenixBella]

@ooblets Working in an industry when you hold so much contempt for the community is not a healthy way to live.

I still believe that #GamersAreGood. There will always be some extremists in most communities. It is wrong, and we should all speak out against hate and extremism.

[Bella Phoenix @PhoenixBella]

@ooblets May I also suggest therapy? You shouldn't try to deal with this on your own.

On top of that, you work in the game business and you show a lot of contempt for the gaming community, despite that community supporting your development for years, while not asking for anything.

[Bella Phoenix @PhoenixBella]

@SputzeeD @ooblets They used a patreon to fund development- over 1100 patrons a month. As for kickstarter, they addressed that.
