Hello friends. I need work. A. to survive and fight, B. to make space for more art in the face of our dystopian present. I'd be amped if that work came in the form of music, sound design, sonic art and activism.

My wheelhouse is dark and dirty electronic for my personal work but I am an ex-pro who can remix damn near anything and can bend sound design to sonically fit cool projects. I have references. Some friends here on the feed might like to chime in to help my case?

I am available for donate what you can commissions for game assets, remixes, loops and beats, soundtracks, media tech support?. Keen to hear your ideas.

OR

Would you care to check out some dark dance, industrial, synthpop, powernoise, horror and dystopian soundtracks? This is a great time to donate anything at all, if you can, for my always free to download open catalogue [did you see my recent covers album release?] which thanks to your help is growing and hopefully much more this year.

https://music.control.org

OR

If you are in a decent place and might like to just send a few bones my way. This helps plan my year to not just be more productive and active with my own music outputs but also able to do collaborations, remixes for others, and my general backstage artist support and activism for the bard class.

Whatever platform you can tolerate using, I'll add to the kofi progress bar. I know there are many pressing and apex issues pushing us all for time and resource, so I really appreciate anyone that wants to help us go down with a good angry cathartic stomp. I am lucky to have a secure home but as I've shared in the past, I cannot work in public spaces so I subsistence farm and universe willing, make noise with my friends.

I hope to see you at this years web concerts and in the feed.

Stomp in solidarity.

There should be more game designers in politics.

Seriously - making rules that adjust interaction and behavior in positive ways that benefits the system and vibe we would like to create.

Instead of making negative rules, like "pay a fine" - people tend to do better making positive rules, like when Sweden did a short-term speed camera lottery in 2010 - entering people in a lottery when they follow the proper behavior.

Olá, Fediverso!
Sou programadora e #gamedev generalista.

Tô no fediverso desde 2022 mas usar redes sociais nunca foi um hábito, não vejo muita graça, mas espero conseguir compartilhar mais coisas dessa vez.

Could you help me find #ttrpg #games focused on disaster relief, first responders, firefighters and similar?

I'm interested in both narrative and crunchy, I want to analyze #stories and #narrative placement of the player agency, goals etc.

Bonus points for narrative analysis of such games, board games, similar video games etc. I think Pandemic Legacy would qualify.
