No one can. This 996 is nonsense and it will just burn people out and be counterproductive.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

That’s like throwback robot arms. I can sort of see where they are coming from but I also think we need to not go overboard on these things. Anyone who knows Peacemaker knows he’s 110% not a not-see. In the season 2 opening, it doesn’t come across that way at all.

Check out my story on”The Books with the Orange Spines”, inspired by seeing vintage 2ed AD&D books in a games library with @stickydoodler.bsky.social

When given opportunity to write some D&D poetry, you say "Hell yeah" and do it.

Many thanks to @edmondchang.bsky.social and Suzanne Richardson and fellow authors on this anthology of creative writing inspired by D&D.

This is a huge hurdle for me. Canva is really helpful but I feel that I really need to up my skills.

I can see why they did it but it kinda irks me that digital games are the norm and tabletop has to use a qualifier before "game". hrumpf! /old /cranky

Oh dang, I wish I would have seen this sooner, though I think I was on the road at the time.

Well said! This is my home and my community too and we're awesome.

I've been promoting our next DMV tabletop game event, but this morning it feels wrong to post without comment.

Yay indie collectives!!

Sticky Doodler @stickydoodler.bsky.social · 26d

Something that just blows my mind is how you can just talk to your FLGS or LBS and just... get your indie game on their tables and shelves, and into the hands of eager players!

And when you do it as a collective, you can build a community around your art!
