DETAILS
last year when we moved, I lost access to my already old workstation, and have been stuck on a very small laptop in my living room since. It was intended as a very temporary solution- (contd) (paypal available on DMs) #TransCrowdFund
as a result, I haven't been able to make progress on 3D projects, have had to record in a closet, and my productivity has hit some pretty hard walls in terms of windows I can juggle as I take on more work. It also hasn't been great for my posture being hunched over the laptop!
while I can play some indie games, it's certainly thrown a wrench in my ability to play stuff too intensive for this PC, especially to relax or start streaming. The site's workload is increasing to a point where I need a much better setup to do the work we want to do (contd)
ontop of this, I'm running out of storage non-stop! even the podcast has taken up a lot of resources. With the site's growth and the help of our generous patrons, we've managed to *usually* break even to keep the lights on, which we're very grateful for!
at this rate, I cannot keep up with the workload I have *and* continue to take on more paid work needed to save up for a new setup, as I'm already working more than full-time hours on the site & multiple paid commitments. freelancing is precarious!
we have some really exciting plans this year with @rebind_io both in terms of in-house content and growing our capacity to review / interview games and folks! so this is only possible with your generous support, please feel free to share the above tweets and promote this effort!
In particular, I want to start livestreaming analysis, recording narration of our existing articles, doing podcast interviews live, and committing to a 3-day a week streaming schedule, as well as expanding into video essays to expand our audience.
reviewing VR content was also supposed to be a big part of the original site, but we haven't had the means for a while to keep doing that. having equipment that can handle this means we can start looking at some of the exciting indie VR games coming out.
so thank you all! even if you don't have the means to contribute at the moment, your support is still appreciated! if you could retweet this thread we'd be extremely grateful!
