Wanted to do a quick thread about how to support your favourite creators now that nazis have ruined ad revenue.
Patreon’s the best. Cold hard cash every month. Just a dollar means a lot - it’s both financial help and massive moral support
If they don’t have a Patreon, tell ‘em you’d pledge if they did! They might be avoiding it because they’re worried they’d get no support
YouTube Red is good. You skip ads, but YT then gives some of your subscription fee to the people whose ads you skipped! It’s quite a bit
Getting more people to view is good. More views means more ad money! So promoting videos on Twitter, Facebook is good
Posting that person’s stuff on Reddit is massively helpful. Reddit’s great for views but creators can’t pimp their own stuff. You can!
And finally some other forms of support: leave nice comments & send nice tweets, hit 👍, be patient, give them the freedom to try new things

The Gamer Babies are at it again
Total War: Rome II is currently getting review bombed on Steam. Despite positive reviews since launch, its suddenly had a huge influx of negative reviews in the last couple days.
Must be in response to something that Creative Assembly recently changed, right? Nope!

Here’s the new episode of Designing for Disability. This time, we’re looking at colourblindness and low vision!
I know these videos are never going to do gangbusters in terms of traffic, and will attract shitty comments (some of which I’ve deleted), but it’s an important subject and I’d be wasting the amazing platform you’ve given me if I didn’t do stuff like this. Cheers!
Most of the negative comments I get on these accessibility videos boil down to “this is nice, but it’s a waste of development time for such a small portion of players”. This is a cosmically bad take.

When I was a kid, I was wowed by Penny Arcade’s Tycho’s writing style. I didn’t understand what the fuck he was on about half the time, which I just assumed meant he was really smart
But looking at the site today, I’m realising that I *still* don’t understand what he’s saying unless I re-read everything twice and parse every word carefully. Look at this sentence on why he doesn’t like Undertale
And I’m left with the conclusion that I’m either still a stupid child *or* if he just fails as a writer to deliver his points clearly and coherently because he breaks, like, most of George Orwell’s rules for writing

1. 🚨 Patreon Rant 🚨

I wasn’t going to weigh in on this because I’m not a #Patreon user and at this rate not sure I will ever be one but I’ve been following the commentary and have some thoughts.
2. If you haven’t been paying attention here’s an article

3. Most of the commentary I’ve seen about Sargon of Akkad (Carl Benjamin) getting kicked off Patreon with no warning has focused on their arbitrarily making up rules and enforcing them on the fly + CEO Jack Conte’s apparent misdirection.

Thread: An Old IC Guy Comments on the Bergdahl for Five Taliban Generals Swap

1. With recent rumors of legal actions surrounding the Clinton Foundation heating up, linkages to Benghazi and Bergdahl must be re-examined and not swept under the rug again, right @gowdy?
2. The Bergdahl-for-Taliban generals swap lit a fire under an old IC guy after a Benghazi summary and a report that the former Clinton Foundation CFO is spilling the beans both made the Internet rounds. How are the Clinton Foundation and the Bergdahl swap connected? Read on.
3. First, the Benghazi summary: <quote> Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to secretly retrieve US-made Stinger missiles that the State Dept had supplied to Ansar al Sharia in Libya WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission.

On this lovely Black Friday…

I wanted to breakdown a quick, profitable mindset shift for any and all trying to make money online.

What’s that?

→ How to turn your problems/hardships into cold, hard cash

¡Vámonos!
Here’s the mindset:

→ Every problem you have in life can be converted into cold hard cash on the Internet

Because you are NOT unique.

If you have a problem, there’s thousands of others out there who are having similar issues.
Solve your problem.

Solve their problem.

Make cash.

That’s the equation.

The 9 Pillars of Business Success

In this thread, I want to share with you several valuable business lessons which will make you a lot of money, if you take heed of the advice.

Before you start making millions, you really need a firm grasp of the fundamentals.

This is arguably the most important aspect of business.

You can screw up every other pillar, but if you have your market dialed in, you'll still find success.
1. Continued...

The best way to do this, is to create a customer avatar.

What are your ideal clients demographics? Ex: Age, sex, job title, political standing.

Next, what are their psychographics?

What do they want? Why?
What are their fears and frustrations?
