Supporting would be mainly helping to get this thread in front of more eyes. I'm ideally looking for co-ops or places more socially inclined than others (we do live under capitalism). I also think I'll be livestreaming quite a bit more about side projects, so keeping an eye out for that will help too (esp with supporting it).

Another way to support would be buying my work laptop. I have no need of it anymore. https://swappa.com/listing/view/LWIF54805

Every time I look at Godoy I think, “damn, this looks really good, if I were going to make a game I’d use this” and that has been going on for YEARS (and Godot still looks good)

I agree! I've been tinkering with using it for some educational 2D gamedev and it's amazing how much more rewarding and excited I feel making these games, lol

When I got comfortable writing tests, I feel like I had gained a super power. I talk to engineers and I remember how much it sucks to learn. But I try to push people to get past that. Writing tests makes you so much more confident in what you're shipping.

Big facts. The amount of cognitive load that drops over time (did this break something in registration? crap, does that still out the right events)

This is it! This is the co-op @skulbunnygalaxy and I have been working on for over a year. This beta signup is the culmination of so many months of hard work and I'm excited to finally be able to put it out into the world. Please share it far and wide!

This also expands to my thinking (and that of others I've engaged with) that tech (by itself) will not get us free. It is definitely just a tool. But tools, in this landscape, when wielded by the wrong person who can also easily convince others to do things that fuel/fund/support bad things, need to be used ALWAYS in favor of the people and not institutions that exist to extract from us.

This isn't to say I'm against anarchy. I 100% believe that the state, as it exists, and the facilities we currently champion as a means of molding the state to get to (or return to? for who?) a state treats everyone well do not work in any case presented, and that the most ideal solution is the complete dissolution of it. But doing that by pushing in a system that puts the same core ethos (finance and economics driving people versus the tangible needs of all living people) is not one that'll do any meaningful change.

I think I found the "wording" that links why cryptocurrencies and technologies that rely on it are antithetical to the concepts I understand to be critical to liberation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto-anarchism holds it to SOUND like a good thing but under this ecosystem where we haven't even tackled the social issues, these digital systems would usher a new era of feudalism that should be remained to the limits of comics and books, never reality.
