Nothing quite demonstrates the generation divide like how both me and my dad are/were MMORPG players, both of us play lizardfolk monks, but in his case in Everquest the Iksar were legit humanoid lizards whereas mine is an Au Ra kawaii uguu anime girl with a few patches of scales and horns
To add to this, back in his day you had to join a guild to do content and his was a bunch of well-paid engineers and lawyers, who he knew and worked with IRL, whereas I just queue up the roulette and do stuff with randoms and never talk to anybody
Got the old login credentials so I could make the comparison
Hey there. This isn’t a very easy post for me to make, but things are not going great for me right now. I’m in a position where I’m really sick (by no means life-threatening, I just can’t work) and I have a lot of bills due this week. I’d like to ask if any of you could spare a few bucks to get me through. One of the themes of Kentucky Route Zero is the crushing fist of capitalism squeezing the life out of all of us, and boy howdy am I feeling that right now.
Here’s a link to my paypal. Truthfully, it’s the paypal for an old podcast that I used to do with my wife, but that’s the only account I have linked to my bank. I promise I’ll use this money to make my car payment and not as backdoor funding to revive a podcast.
I’m really grateful for anything you can give, and I completely understand if you can’t. Additionally, I’m working on putting together a Patreon, which would give me the twofold benefit of a few extra bucks a month, as well as the impetus to do more extensive research into the strange and wonderful world of KRZ, and the many influences Cardboard Computer draws from.
Thanks,
Michelle
Gonna give this a daytime bump. Thanks to the folks who have helped so far. Things ain’t great, but they’re closer than they were eight hours ago.
Landslide by Fleetwood Mac except it’s playing through your car’s old radio cassette player as you drive alone through the desert at night. As far as you can tell, the nearest human life has got to be wherever that distant thunder is rolling in.
