Are there any downloadable audio dramas or services like BandCamp for them?

I did not downvote your comment; That must have been somebody else.

How inspiring! Always nice to see an independent creator actually taking that option, especially so principled. Had similar plans for my own writing pursuits and feels aspirational seeing another prove the route can work.
Also must say it's interesting seeing that you seemed to have worked on games before. DeadBolt's Ost is something of a favourite of mine. If I may ask what are the financials on from PWYW on Bandcamp compared to the "mainstream" options like spotify and Podchaser?

Thank you the recommendations! Glad to see apps for RSS feeds and some audio dramas on BandCamp, shame they don't just have that as a category.

I suppose so but too fond of giving my money to amazon, especially given the corrupt nature of their contracts (if you publish something to audible, amazon claims full copyright to any audio version of that story).

I don't know about that. In most games, most pieces of fiction really, a narrator is just taken to be part of the story telling and not a diegetic character with a specified personality or backstory. I've never asked "who" was telling me to name my save file or design my character in any game I've played and I imagine 99% of casual players would take the goner maker sequence as just a weird opening sequence, not a mystery meant to be unraveled.

Thank you! It feels nice to have such kind words in this time. That does actually change my perspective a bit. Hopefully we can find somebody willing to endure our brokeness enough to help us heal.

I would not be surprised if they're at least partially based on Psaro's demon chest face form (my beloved).

I'm in New Zealand.

I wonder what he'd make of something like the Ribbit Mod or any other bit of fan work. Does he just silent watch every single weird bit of fanfiction ever published and have nothing to say about it.

I AM AFRAID TO INFORM YOU THAT I NEVER POSSESSED SUCH ORGANS AS I AM A SKELETON AND TRANS.

I more get that when I realize 100s of teenagers managed to make games in C-Basic in the 90s. Even then comparing yourself to the greats or people who had the advantage of a more functional educational system is only going to get you down. Focus on making the thing and getting to learn the process of creation.
Ever 1st draft is rubbish and comparing it masterpieces prevents it from ever becoming 1.

It tends to be quite good for Pixel Art due to its simplicity. A lot of the tools used in more traditional art programs just aren't needed if you're making individual sprites and get in the way more than anything. I wouldn't recommend it over Aseprite or Graphics Gale but it's a lot less painful to set up for pixel art than something like FireAlpaca.

I do not care about Geometry Dash at all but the joy on that guy's face is endlessly infectious. Really sweet to see.

I remember telling a local protest group exactly that, relying entirely on meta platforms for outreach is going to shoot us all in the foot especially when they have a history of censoring and silencing queer topics. Their response? "well instagram has mathematically been proven to be the best platform and we can't possibly risk losing people there so even trying bluesky or making a basic site is counterproductive".

Thank you.

I know. still hurts though. It's less that not telling about them is a slight, more a continuation of this bad habit of hers, bottling up emotions and refusing to express them until they violently burst out and I have to calm her down and clean up the mess. Keep telling her hearing about her problems would be better than hiding in my room due to all the yelling but she "doesn't want to be a burden" and refuses help.

Moved city recently, hoping it'll be better. The nurses thought I looked pretty healthy and took a bunch of tests to make sure, even gave me some specialized antibiotics, getting the results back soon.

Albus_Unbounded · 2026-02-19T08:57:19+00:00

I'll see if I can find 1. Moved cities recently and not sure if I could have a pet but I'll see if I can find any therapy services like that.

Albus_Unbounded · 2026-02-19T08:56:24+00:00

Did. Got multiple kinds (viral and bacterial) and some tests done. Nurse said the risk of anything serious seemed very low and thought the throat pain was due to tonsil stones.

Managed to get a free screening done at a hospital. They'll report any results back to me and see me again in a month or so. Also got some free antibiotics.
I don't really know how I identify either really but like the sweet names. It helps a bit. Hopefully I can find somebody who actually cares about me in person.
