If you want to buy from dlsite internationally, they have a third party points gift code thing which works but less bonus points than buying directly from the site. I'm sure something similar can be done for different sites

Right this second I'm mostly okay, but I'm thinking ahead to the end of the month, and I haven't had quite as much work come in as I'd like to be sure I'll make rent at that time. Contact me if you'd like some closed captions made for your videos, or you can still buy my stickers!
