If a thousand people bought one of my games, it would be life-changing what I could do with the money. I could settle my medical and credit card debt. I could help some of my friends on this site get out of THEIR medical debt.

![2 panel comic titled “A Guide to Telling Your Friends How Much You Love Them” by Alex Plante
1. write a nice, vulnerable heartfelt message. struggle to hit "send" because society has dumb implied rules, and you are a COWARD.
[drawing] message that reads:
hey I just wanted to tell you that I am so glad we're friends! I'm a better person than I was before I met you, and knowing you has improved my life in every way. Thanks for always being there for me! Nothing makes me happier than dicking around and talking shit with you. I will always be there, fighting in your corner. Love you forever (or until I die) <3
2. strategically place spoiler tags. now it's funny, so you HAVE to send it, or go to jail for the crime of
"not committing to the bit" haha get cherished, losers!
