This is my most interesting takeaway too. People think this is a AAA only thing, presumably because a) that’s the most visible stuff and b) that’s what they dislike and see as ‘deserving’ failure for one of many reasons. I think many also assume what they’d group as ‘indie’ are independently funded

Seeing the sheer amount of "but indies will save us" in response Mike's post has me feeling real... sad. I don't think people can truly understand how the things Mike is talking about effect the indie games that do get funded or the financial realities of self-publishing.

I didn’t realize I missed RTing so much? I’ve been passing personally curated memes to friends for years, but it’s not the same. There’s something deeply satisfying to finding someone on the internet saying something so unexpected and resonant, you need to add it to your social media persona feed.

You get 20 extra characters on Bluesky which is great because it means, when you copy your old tweets into Bluesky you can always add “THUS SPOKE THE LICH!” to the end and it will still fit.

I took a long social media hiatus form The Other Place, but I’m back, lovelies! I’m here to chat remote work, running studios, sustaining your human energies when you are inclined to sacrifice them for the art, and indie game love. Have a photo of a pup. As a gesture of goodwill.

You are up to date.
