friends, unfortunately I am in need of some help again to keep a roof over my head

we are moving out of this flat on the 17th (in 10 days) we got for the month, and nowhere to go with very little funds so far

I am trying to raise about 1500 Euros while I am interviewing and applying to grants

Pay Berrak Nil Boya using PayPal.Me

Go to paypal.me/berrakn and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

huge replay value, lots of different builds, great colours and contrast... but the best thing is just how musical it all becomes! 🥰🎶

The WORST thing about getting published by Devolver is that we had to get rid of this

list 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours with no prep

1. How 20th century classical composers made extremes meaningless and how I like it better that way
2. How Rain World trancends being a game. How the joy I find in the game conflicts with some design decisions and lore
3. Vulfpeck
