Ever since I left the fast food kitchen I've been feeling better and throwing myself into my real passion for making games.

The last few have been pretty well-received so I've been leaning more and more towards taking my girlfriend's advice and opening up a Patreon for those interested in the furtherance of my art to support me financially.

The only paid patron rewards I can think of would be to let people of certain pay tiers request me to draw specific types of sprites (a certain quota of monster/attack animation/weapon/map graphic/hero battle animation sets per month) and weigh the advice/requests of all paying customers a little more than suggestions from anyone else (like keeping up a database of item/spell/monster names, appearances, and gimmicks suggested by patrons and putting the names of anyone whose ideas I used in the credits).

One big problem with Patreon, though, is how vulnerable it makes creators to mass flagging attacks based on "wrong" things they say or believe outside the site itself and I as it happens believe many things the political establishment doesn't want people to believe, and I would not compromise or apologize even if that worked (it never does; look at literally anyone who "apologized" after getting "canceled" and harassed by the Twitterati; they remained canceled afterward because evil doesn't care about people, only about power with which to further its own agenda).
