I miss my best friend
She was literally my better half
As long as I walk this Earth, she will continue to impact it
RIP Fe! ♥️

@PazzaMamma9 @omgsidewalks How many businesses do you think a person could start, and fail, with $1 billion before it actually becomes a risk?

[Toon 👽 @jayt00n]

They don’t use money. Its about the value of the money for us down here. They hoard it and stash it, put it in stocks etc and give us our portion to play with, in our economy. If too much made it in the pit, it would upset the balance or take away too much control

Have seen #PitchYaGame since its very first one. Amazed at the effort this guy put into it, the results I have seen from it, indie devs getting funding/publishers/fans/etc for their projects. Even the games I’ve been introduced to that I would have never seen otherwise. And maybe even more so, I am impressed that its still happening.

I’ve seen so many people with plans and ideas to put things together to help put a spotlight on indies, some even newer than PYG, that didn’t last because how much time it takes vs lack of compensation. Not that they asked for any, its all voluntary, but nearly impossible to sustain.

I can’t even imagine what negative things a person could make up in their minds to just be negative towards something that I have seen solely positive results from

Anyways, happy pitching to everyone else 🫡

PSA: Please take into consideration that we run #PitchYaGame entirely voluntarily. Alongside full-time jobs, life, family et al.

We don't get paid. Thus, putting together resources like the sheet requires "insane" work. We're human.

Hearing of flack over the sheet, hurts. 😓

Its been a full year, since I got to see her last. Today feels no different than day one. There was no reality that I seen coming, where I was stuck here longer than her… took a full year of hospitalization, self destruction and even my own death.. now its time to get to work

[Toon 👽 @jayt00n]

One year as of yesterday, since my best friend died

I died in February, they called it, didn’t try to revive me because of my DNR. i thought it was finally time to reunite… but i woke up, in one of the most disappointing moments of my life

She would be upset with me, if she seen how I have spent this last 365 days, even with all I went through, on top of losing her

Those things also look terrible on paper, but do not even close to compare to her loss

So, if she can’t come back, and death is ghosting me and not taking my calls, I guess this will be day one of stopping my self destructive behavior, and getting back to riding the ride to the end

Time for a Toon-up

@moonchild23580 Only thing I care about is if its orange or grape.. ima die soon, i’ll save them the trouble. Call? Fold? Raise?

@ThrillaRilla369 I’ll leave the planet if possible

[Toon 👽 @jayt00n]

I’m not selling myself short, but i try to keep myself at enough of a baseline that I can keep the same expectations of others that i have for myself. I’d rather not be the exception in a circumstance like what occurred. I wish everyone there would have been as willing…

But i guess i also wish his friends werent letting him get away with it either, nor he himself were that type of person in the first place.

All equally guilty in my eyes tbh

[Toon 👽 @jayt00n]

@Bunny_ngl Yup. More than once. And one time I still came in the following monday like nothing happened, and they let me too

Starting to personally insult a person during a debate about a topic. It means, not only can you no longer argue your point, but you can’t think logically and it causes you to not even be able to control your own emotions. If you don’t know how to handle yourself, I can’t trust you regarding things out of your control

[Toon 👽 @jayt00n]

Would you pay $500 for a game that would take 100 hours to beat?

If this actually becomes a conversation in the industry, thats what you’re looking at, at pointing towards.

$70 game should be how long? Lets say 40? Or you want 40+ at that max set price?

You’re paying about $3.90 per hour of entertainment. Movie theaters charge about $6-$10 per hour of entertainment, if you only buy a ticket

How much EXACTLY, do YOU think a $70 game should be? And is it okay if its a low budget, shitty indie dev’s first project? Would you pay more for that, Instead of a really fun, well made game that is a little shorter?

Based on what YOU do with YOUR life, what is the value of 18 of YOUR hours, given to a video game, taking away time that could be spent doing what else? What is worth paying $3.90/hour to do, and how much are you losing when spending that couple extra dollars, when the same game could only cost you, say, $1.50/ hour. What you gon do with that extra fortune?

Im really curious, because maybe I am not valuing my time correctly. Or maybe your’s is just more valuable than others. Thats why i’m asking, genuinely

@StreetMoments_ I would have done worse than that father, even if it wasn’t my daughter. Nobody is going to put hands on a child like that in front of me and not get what (I personally think) they deserve

[Toon 👽 @jayt00n]

@RealTriHouse @Jonsandman @RocketLeague Tri, bro, please… don’t do that to yourself

[Toon 👽 @jayt00n]

@BakkesMod @uuest_ Hell yea!

When I had to work from home during Covid i didn’t take breaks. I didn’t even take my lunch break because I was allowed to wave it, and would work longer because I had the company laptop at home that I didn’t usually have, which helped significantly in meeting deadlines. And the majority of time we spent on voice/video calls and every click I made was registered.

I don’t feel like my salary should have been raised for any of that, and they for damn sure weren’t about to lower it.

Wtf does “babysitting your own life” even mean? 😅 just because you may not have self control and “doing laundry” is activity that comes to YOUR mind, doesn’t mean everyone is as lazy

[Toon 👽 @jayt00n]

I feel like that is on purpose and have mentioned it for so long. It can discredit artists and artwork until its puts them out of business and its the only option.

And i think will continue to be weaponized for more and more purposes as the technology improves

I could record a real alien invasion on my phone and post it to warn ppl, and it’ll just be “ai is getting crazy” “alien ai videos of them attacking earth before GTA VI” and i’ll look like the bad guy who os tryna spread false panic 😅

That was an over exaggerated example, but apply that situation to anything

[Toon 👽 @jayt00n]

Regardless of the comparisons between the two and the argument between it. Just this one about you. Why did they even post it? 🤣 someone said “take the happy birthday and move on”.. they ain’t even say “happy birthday”… just a statement

months from now, im going to post “Mr. beast is still 28”
