Hey. I appreciate the interest, unless that was a tragic misclick, which would make this kind of embarassing. This is the part where I admit that I don’t really like dealing with money or being prescriptive about how people use it, but also want to let anyone interested know what they’re in for.

OKAY BUT HOW DO I GIVE YOU MY MONEY

One-time:

• PayPal.Me: I get ~95%. I will see the name associated with your payment method.
• Streamlabs: I get ~95%. I will see the name associated with your payment method, and if I’m streaming, there will be a dumb noise that I’m at least somewhat obligated to acknowledge, xd.
• YouTube (Super Chat): I get ~75%. I don’t see anything except your YouTube display name.
• Streamlabs Merch: I get ~50%. You get a shirt. IIRC this doesn’t expose your name, but I’m not certain: if this is important to you, let me know.

Periodic:

• Patreon: I get ~95%.
• YouTube (Membership): I get ~75%. You get a set of emotes and a badge next to your name in chat. Be aware that I may move away from YouTube chat in the future and host my own shit; I’ll cancel your membership so you aren’t charged if this happens.
• Twitch: I get ~50%. I don’t stream to Twitch currently, so this is probably a bad value proposition, but if you have a Prime subscription that is desperately in need of use, this does give you a few emotes on Twitch and Discord.

OKAY BUT WHERE DOES THAT MONEY GO

Rent, food, hardware and server costs. I live very frugally so that I can spend as much time as possible doing interesting shit; I will never waste your money.

OKAY BUT WHAT DO I GET OUT OF THE EXCHANGE

I don’t really have an incentive structure for this shit, but anything “periodic” gives you keys to HITBOX DIMENSION’s “whales” channel, where I occasionally share shitposts and drafts, talk about meta stuff with people who are likely to be interested, and I guess people post selfies. Anything related to video platforms also gets you those associated perks. :D?

On a broader level, my life will probably be a little easier, and the quality of the things I make and do tends to improve as my stress decreases. No guarantees, I’m a moron.

OKAY BUT ISN’T THIS PRESENTATION KIND OF OBNOXIOUS

Yeah, I guess it might rub some people the wrong way—sorry if it seems patronizing or weird. But faceless donation links bother me than…whatever this is, I guess, and if I were in your position I’d probably be vaguely interested in how to most effectively use the money I’ve set aside. Anyway, here’s a cute girl for your trouble.

WOW THANKS SHE’S ACTUALLY PRETTY CUTE

That’s Tana from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, and she’s real fuckin' good. It’s a decent game too, bite-sized little tactics challenges with great music and really clean spritework. Highly recommended.

WAIT, I SAW THE CUTE GIRL AND DISASSOCIATED, WHERE IS THE ACTUAL PAGE CONTENT AGAIN

Completely understandable. Here you go.
