So, I write articles monthly for free, and if people like them, they tip. This helps me pay down my medical costs. I need about $6,400 to try to get back on my diabetic care. That's life saving stuff! So I'd be very very grateful if you shared my work or tipped me at paypal.me/stompsite

Did you know that there’s a bookstore at #GDC? It’s usually easy to spot & popular because people love browsing #gamedev books at a gamedev conference. But this year, it’s hidden behind the GDC merch store (North Hall ground level). So please visit the bookstore! Until 7pm today 9am-4:30pm Friday ❤️
