Noah J. Nelson, Immersonaut Prime @noahjnelson.com · Jan 28

Sometimes it feels like I beg for a living on the Internet. So I don’t post this as much as I should.

Which also doesn’t help with the feelings of precarity.

Somehow we’re still at this 11 years in, which is great.

No Proscenium @noproscenium.com · Jan 28

NoPro & Everything Immersive exists thanks to our Patreon backers.

Just $5/month is all it takes to keep us going and with enough support expand our reach.

This year our goal is to have over 750 paid backers and $5k/month in pledges. We have a long way to go.
