I like to say that I release games because it makes it sound like I keep them in some sort of cage and they growl and snarl and howl inside and I open the cage's door and they run out into the wild so I can say "it's out now" like a warning

a general PSA from an indie developer: if you don't like the theme or aesthetic of a game, please DO NOT leave a 1-star review over it! you can actually move on with your life and forget about it! the moment you realize This Game Is Not For You, you can leave!!!!!

A 1-star review on itch.io made 43 days ago, saying: "If you don't like christian religions stay away. I, myself hate christian themes so I cannot recommend this VN."

This post I came across on Tumblr is SO GOOD, not only am I making these all my rules to live by in 2025 but I think everybody should strive to follow them too!

A screencap of a Tumblr post. It reads:

25 ways to be a little more punk in 2025.

1. Cut fast fashion - buy used, learn to mend and/or make your own clothes, buy fewer clothes less often so you can save up for ethically made quality.

2. Cancel subscriptions relearn how to pirate media, spend $10/month buying a digital album from a small artist instead of on Spotify, stream on free services since the paid ones make you watch ads anyway.

3. Green your community - there's lots of ways to do this, like seedbombing or joining a community garden or organizing neighborhood trash pickups.

4. Be kind stop to give directions, check on stopped cars, smile at kids, let people cut you in line, offer to get stuff off the high shelf, hold the door, ask people if they're okay.

5. Intervene - learn bystander intervention techniques and be prepared to use them, even if it feels awkward.

6. Get closer to your food - grow it yourself, can and preserve it, buy from a farmstand, learn where it's from, go fishing, make it from scratch, learn a new ingredient.

A screencap of a Tumblr post. It reads:

7. Use opensource software - try LibreOffice, try Reaper, learn Linux, use a free Photoshop clone. The next time an app tries to force you to pay, look to see if there's an opensource alternative.

8. Make less trash - start a compost, be mindful of packaging, find another use for that plastic, make it a challenge for yourself!

9. Get involved in local politics - show up at meetings for city council, the zoning commission, the park district, school boards; fight the NIMBYs that always show up and force them to focus on the things impacting the most vulnerable folks in your community.

10. DIY > fashion - shake off the obsession with pristine presentation that you've been taught! Cut your own hair, use homemade cosmetics, exchange mani/pedis with friends, make your own jewelry, duct tape those broken headphones!

11. Ditch Google - Chromium browsers (which is almost all of them) are now bloated spyware, and Google search sucks now, so why not finally make the jump to Firefox and another search like DuckDuckGo? Or put the Wikipedia app on your phone and look things up there?

12. Forage learn about local edible plants and how to safely and sustainably harvest them or go find fruit trees and such accessible to the public.

13. Volunteer - every week tutoring at the library or once a month at the humane society or twice a year serving food at the soup kitchen, you can find something that matches your availability.

A screencap of a Tumblr post. It reads:

14. Help your neighbors - which means you have to meet them first and find out how you can help (including your unhoused neighbors), like elderly or disabled folks that might need help with yardwork or who that escape artist dog belongs to or whether the police have been hassling people sleeping rough.

15. Fix stuff - the next time something breaks (a small appliance, an electronic, a piece of furniture, etc.), see if you can figure out what's wrong with it, if there are tutorials on fixing it, or if you can order a replacement part from the manufacturer instead of trashing the whole thing.

16. Mix up your transit - find out what's walkable, try biking instead of driving, try public transit and complain to the city if it sucks, take a train instead of a plane, start a carpool at work.

17. Engage in the arts go see a local play, check out an art gallery or a small museum, buy art from the farmer's market.

18. Go to the library - to check out a book or a movie or a CD, to use the computers or the printer, to find out if they have other weird rentals like a seed library or luggage, to use meeting space, to file your taxes, to take a class, to ask questions.

19. Listen local - see what's happening at local music venues or other events where local musicians will be performing, stop for buskers, find a favorite artist, and support them.

20. Buy local - it's less convenient than online shopping or going to a big box store that sells everything, but try buying what you can from small local shops in your area.

A screencap of a Tumblr post. It reads:

21. Become unmarketable - there are a lot of ways you can disrupt your online marketing surveillance, including buying less, using decoy emails, deleting or removing permissions from apps that spy on you, checking your privacy settings, not clicking advertising links, and...

22. Use cash - go to the bank and take out cash instead of using your credit card or e-payment for everything! It's better on small businesses and it's untraceable.

23. Give what you can as capitalism churns on, normal shmucks have less and less, so think about what you can give (time, money, skills, space, stuff) and how it will make the most impact.

24. Talk about wages - with your coworkers, with your friends, while unionizing! Stop thinking about wages as a measure of your worth and talk about whether or not the bosses are paying fairly for the labor they receive.

25. Think about wealthflow - there are a thousand little mechanisms that corporations and billionaires use to capture wealth from the lower class: fees for transactions, interest, vendor platforms, subscriptions, and more. Start thinking about where your money goes, how and where it's getting captured and removed from our class, and where you have the ability to cut off the flow and pass cash directly to your fellow working class people.

I've been reluctant to post but: I'm a trans woman and I do stuff(in alt text) for creatives in visual novels. I'm safe now, but yesterday I finally broke down from everything. (In comments) Community: www.patreon.com/c/vndevtalk/ Direct Support: makevisualnovels.itch.io/make-visual-...

Sealed with a Kiss Jam. It's a new competition I host. I'm also hosting Make Visual Novels! Asset Jam and Spooktober Visual Novel Jam, all which encourage developers to make and release content their readers want at the time they want them, I work with businesses that support visual novel developers in their products or services to fund the competitions and in return help them reach their goals. To date, I've personally negotiated over $15,000 from businesses and organizations, all of which has gone back to the community through funding websites and services required to keep them going, hiring members of our community for work for the community, navigating and advocating for visual novels and their connected creatives and of course competition winnings.

Don't be engineered! This is Discord security and safety infographic I made to educate my community and the communities of our friends to harden them against social engineering and common threats.
Text: Signs of Social Engineering on Discord
This person is not someone you ordinarily communicate with.
This person does not post in any of the servers you share.
This person cannot be vouched for by anyone you know.
This is someone you know, but the way they communicate is very different or out of character.
This is someone you know, but haven't spoken with in some time and they've included a link, attachment, or demand.
This person has communicated to several others privately with the same message and/or requests.
The message contains an unsolicited link to a Discord server.
The message contains a link that is a near-miss misspell of a known site. (e.g: discrod.gg.)
The message contains a look alike sub-domain on an invalid domain (e.g: discord.freestuff.com)

The message contains a file (game, or other attachment) you were not expecting.
The message is highly urgent, or time sensitive.
The message implies gaining something of value.
The message implies a threat or consequence.
The message requests you to look at compromising pictures or screenshots of yourself or people you know.
The message is uncharacteristically full of misspellings and bad grammar.
The message is uncharacteristically formal or informal.
The message requests you take an action, like clicking a link, downloading something or providing information.

The person never enters the 'Person is Typing...' state.
The person has responses that are nearly immediate.
The person never responds to you.
The person responds to you, but their writing isn't consistent with their first message
The person isn't forthcoming with your questions.
The person becomes irate, agitated, or insistent.
The person refuses to speak in a non-private setting.

A picture of witch with brown hair and green hair tips in front of a red curtain with a cool tone washing over the scene. This is Lime, one of the mascots of both the community and the main mascot for the Spooktober Visual Novel Jam. While all of my girls are mascots for something, they're all also bots that operate in our community, each of which brings features that few other communities have the luxury to have. I've been programming as a hobby for around 20 years now, and one of the ways I share that with my community is through them.

Lime has audio related features and can help developers convert files, normalize audio levels
Lemon, who you can check out over at @vndev.bsky.social, manages our external social media, including sharing weekly discussions and reposting community members posts though a self service system.
Cherry manages our VNDev.Wiki, and is gives our community means to grab useful information from the outside and display it in our chats.
Plum is our Discord management bot, in addition to providing fun commands and mini-games, she's built with my custom made anti-bot, anti-spam logic to protect our community from even the most determined spammers.
