Strangers on the Net by @softch by @softchaos.games is awesome enough it made me sign up for Gamefound, which I'd been avoiding—not on principal, but because I don't need one more platform. But here we are. I find it preposterous that it hasn't already funded. gamefound.com/en/projects/...

Yes! @prairieeyes.bsky.social is back with an interview with Elissa! "I used to do a lot of fandom RP, and a lot of my old RPs are just gone forever. I wish I could go back and read them [...] So in some ways this is like getting to have a piece of that memory back." comradery.co/softchaos/po...

Such a great chat today! I loved the community's questions. It's clear that folks need alternatives to the cycle of hiring and lay-offs and burnout that are so common right now. We hope Soft Chaos can help model alternative ways of working and help share what we learn along the way.
