This is not a call for pity but more to put into perspective how 2025 has been impacting a lot of artists:

Between losses of sales, wholesale, tariffs, and fewer corporate clients, I have lost 50% of my gross income this year as a full-time graphic designer and artist.

I haven't have a commission or shop sale in 2.5 months! And my Ko-fi goal hasn't gone above 5% in over 6 months. My birthday is next week and I'd love to breathe above water, even for the tiniest moment 🤏🎂

I have new items in the shop and several slots open for commissions:

When I am really into something, I get this overwhelming passion energy that I just need an outlet for. After watching the show and reading some of the light novels, I just had to do an arrangement of some Apothecary Diaries music. I literally just love it so much, I needed to.

denby only discovered today that the dbmj dialogue editor allows for any color text

a screenshot of the dirtbag mahjong dialogue editor. the lines read as follows:
thierry, in red text: i saw ma'ri koriander at the devil's sacrament!!!!
kori: bro, what were *you* doing at the devil's sacrament?
thierry: officiating.

steam forums extra suck, because on top of that there's also always the threat that properly moderating your game's forum will lead to review bombs from the worst of the cesspool

paranoodle・play dirtbag mahjong! @paranoodle.bsky.social · 2d

yeah totally understandable

paranoodle・play dirtbag mahjong! @paranoodle.bsky.social · 2d

that'll really depend from game to game unfortunately. i haven't run into issues with font sizes, but i *also* don't need them super big. you might be able to look up how some specific games look/run though

and copying that over and over loses that because you need something else to make it memorable (such as the friction or the weirder elements, like you said), as well as it being a lot easier to find games willing to target much broader audiences

paranoodle・play dirtbag mahjong! @paranoodle.bsky.social · 2d

i think part of it also is that the earlier "cozy games" had part of the memorability for a lot of people be that the concept was more novel on its own, and esp for a lot of women, the novelty of feeling more welcome as part of the target audience compared to most mainstream gaming
