@bennewbon.itch.ioI'll gladly add you to my list of ppl to get in touch with for Cybertopia NPC voiceovers as more come up :)
@bennewbon.itch.ioWait, you made it all from scratch?! Daaang
@bennewbon.itch.ioOmg this all looks fantastic! 🤤
@bennewbon.itch.ioI don't understand what's happening. Hearing from multiple ppl about fireworks the last few days and there were some near my place the other day too. Is there some religious festival around this time of year?
@bennewbon.itch.ioGood lawd that was a fun miniseries! It's amazing how much character development and story you can squeeze into 5 sessions! Catch them all on the Halfling Wizards YouTube if you missed it or even if you didn't, go rewatch all the big robot drama all over again!
@bennewbon.itch.ioHow many of these thry achieve? Will they take down their billionaire bosses? What will come afterwards if they do? How much damage will be done to them and the world in the process? Some of these questions will be answered tonight. Some of these PCs will survive. Tune in at 8:30pm BST to find out!
@bennewbon.itch.ioDonovan ( @phonthelegend.bsky.social ) has a score to settle with his family.
Barly ( @stellarencore.bsky.social ) has a secret mission to complete.
Zane ( @aurora-lore.bsky.social ) has friends and family to protect.
Piper ( @bachrach.bsky.social ) has an old flame to save and wants a way out.
@bennewbon.itch.ioIn about 2 hours, I'll be going live running the finale of my End Stage Mechaclysm miniseries over at twitch.tv/halfling_wizard_prod
It's been a helluva topsy turvy 5 session ride and it's going to be an absolutely explosive finish that'll hopefully tie up a bunch of story arcs that have sprouted.
@glitzydemon.itch.ioReposted by @bennewbon.itch.ioI need to bring something positive to the table to counteract the shitstorm. 💪🔥 So for Movember this year I'll be promoting/ featuring/ spotlighting SOLO / DUET GAMES BY TRANS CREATORS - if you're Trans and want me to feature your game, hit me up here or via email (in bio) 🥰
@bennewbon.itch.ioThat sucks :/ hopefully we can redeem this experience with a much more satisfying end of story tomorrow!
@bennewbon.itch.ioMuch like governments' heavy handed responses to protest, the powerful have forgotten that the point of unions is to give workers voices. If you don't listen to our voices, if you won't talk with us, what do you honestly think the alternative will be? We're not just gonna meekly disappear
@bennewbon.itch.ioThat Tim Schafer in this interview suggests there is nothing he could have done just shows what an ineffectual mouthpiece he is. The sort of boss who is only any use when things are going good but apparently feels powerless to fix problems (or perhaps even realise they exist!).
@bennewbon.itch.ioThis adversarial attitude towards unions needs to stop. What many ppl miss is that not only do workers need unions, the businesses do too. If your workforce is having issues a union can help with, either they won't be as productive or they're just gonna leave you. Unions can help fix those problems.
@bennewbon.itch.ioOmg Bunnies on the Bus! Yes! They love it!
@bennewbon.itch.ioWhat a depressing read. I assume at least some of that animosity was due to rw assholes, indoctrinated into completely baseless union hatred, who clearly went around spreading lies to everyone. That's honestly a really tough thing to combat
@bennewbon.itch.ioJust what I've been needing! I already can tell this is going to be dang good!
@bennewbon.itch.ioThat sounds perfect!
@bennewbon.itch.ioDunno if this is something @writersguildgb.bsky.social can help with?
@bennewbon.itch.ioOh no 😢 🫂
@bennewbon.itch.ioIt always comes back to "great replacement theory" /sigh
