Always read contracts you're sent to sign, even if you're told it's "boilerplate".
Understand what you're agreeing to and don't be afraid to ask questions or request adjustments.
When you're starting out you may not have much room to negotiate, but at least you can go into it with your eyes open.

LMAO AI ain’t shit because if I, a person with no game dev experience, made a working game that works across all devices you don’t need a little program to hallucinate the idea of a game for you.
TRULY a skill issue if you rely on AI at this point

I used slablets for uhhhhhhh I'm gonna say a LONG WHILE, but I haven't moved back since making the jump to screen tablets, since that's what I originally envisioned when I first understood what tablets were, and I like having a monitor I can draw on
artists, out of curiousity: do you prefer a screen tablet, or a slablet?

I'm thinking of looking at the scholastic book club model - a catalogue you pick titles from.
Something that changes per quarter or season.

I'm looking at making an indie distribution company for indie books and idk if a model for that exists already, but if anyone has information on how indie book stores order (before I contact a bunch) that would be cool.
I'm specifically looking at Naarm/Melbourne but all info is good info

Maybe someday I'll make more functional starter packs, but for now I've still just got this little non-exhaustive list I use to keep track of folks I've known for a long time across multiple platforms. They are all cool beans

Okay real talk, I've been putting off making introductory Grease Pencil tutorials for fucking years. 2D artists who want to/have tried to learn blender, start yelling at me in the comments of this thread with your questions. I'm gonna start working on this tomorrow.

Look at the cute nail art my friend made!
These are my most recent nail art creations. They took me all day yesterday between shaping the press ons to fit my nail shape, painting with gel paints, and sculpting with hard gel (and taking plenty of breaks for food and gaming). Hard to believe I only started this hobby this past January.

🎨 (2021) This was originally a kind of vent comic/reassurance for myself during some really hard stuff that I couldn't magically "fix" for a friend. Maybe this advice could be helpful for you, too?

Happy Groundhog Day! I am a fan of the absurdity of weather prognosticating rodents and celebrate Groundhog Day with my thermochromic linocut. The shadow is visible if the ambient temperature is <30°C and disappears when >30°C (and it’s a safe bet winter is over or you are overheating your home). 🧵

It's essential to understand that things have gotten MORE difficult to sell online independently.
Sure, you can sign-up to a 'marketplace', but owning your very own online shop means dealing with things like additional digital service taxes (different for every country you sell to).

Comixology: Amazon absolutely destroyed it
GumRoad: went full into NFTs and doxxed a client when he got pissed
Steam: pulled adult titles and has a really high wall for payouts
Amazon is well, Amazon
Patreon actively hates its users
Itch keeps dropping the ball
And this isn't counting paypro stuff
