I'm at a bit of a low point. Still waiting to hear back from kickstarter about the specifics of how we navigate the VAT refund. I've had a sinking feeling in my stomach for days now, and just want this resolved. 🫠 Mostly, I'm just really tired.

Been having an absolute nightmare recently with taxes and kickstarter's pledge manager and it's making me question why I even do what I do. Does anyone know of any tax / shipping experts I could consult, or people who have been using kickstarter's new pledge manager? I could really use the help. 🙏
As someone in a Spanish household we're very happy tonight, but to be honest, after seeing how Argentina behaved I'm really relieved that I can go back to not having to give a toss about football for another 4 years. If that's the best we've got in the world, I'm good. Just kinda miserable to watch.
Fine folks making books and zines (and other things!) about video games!
All set up at @arcfestivallondon.bsky.social! Come find us at Unit 8, Copeland Park, London this weekend!

📢 Help Needed! 📢 For the next issue of APWOT we're cataloging some independent games events from around the world! 🌍 If you know of a cool indie event, venue or festival please let us know! Bonus points if it's from the southern hemisphere!
I put some subtle commentary on British politics in Small Saga. See if you can spot the political message in this clip.
I’ve been stressed about this for months. If backers are wondering why I haven’t sent out reward surveys yet for issue 6, this is why. It essentially makes shipping to the EU so financially punishing as to be not worth it.
Chris B 🐻🌈@loottheroom.bsky.social · 2mo agoI genuinely think this is the end of me selling physical books. This is just untenable for a business of my size.
My friend in Japan gifted me this welcome handbook for new Nintendo employees 🍄
Back from a truly special 3 weeks in Japan. Just feeling super grateful to everyone and privileged to be doing what I’m doing.
