Hi Bluesky!

I make null/void deathscapes and sunken monuments to mankind's eternal hubris

I also made a retro-futuristic cyberpunk game, Jazzpunk

who'd have thought that supporting the people who make your favourite music, tv shows, books, movies, videogames, jewelry, costumes, paintings, sculpture, etc ... would pay off?

who'd have thought they were valuable members of society all this time??

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."

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

“Wikipedia is this economic anomaly. In many ways, it’s sort of magical that people will just volunteer without explicit economic incentives to create artifacts that are meant to share knowledge with everyone in the world”

is this for vehicular combat, or just something adapted from car wars?
beetlenaut.bsky.social
Ive never heard of this thing but now I wanna check it out

this is much better than the advice I got when I showed them an early build of Jazzpunk

I wish I had more access to strangers, to see how they are processing my game on a narrative level, so I could veer/steer away or towards their theories of the world Ive built
