As some of you may have seen on Discord, I'm working on a new State of Homebrew post for next year or so, with another survey. I would love your help taking the survey and sharing with anyone you think would be interested in participating. This one is anonymous if that is any help. It's titled 2025 because although I'm hoping to post this a year from now, these take a long time to write and I wanted to be realistic about when it might come out. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScsdCjehSUEO-Dl2Gn3HMM2zsgf5IZj-j05VngIGfdzEK2vQQ/viewform?usp=pp_url

Haha I’m pretty chill about just about any pronunciation, but the way I say it is scra-bins

That makes sense to me, tools like NESmaker and GBstudio have done a good job promoting their offerings to larger audiences beyond this community, attracting folks who just be virtue of learning about these tools are feeling the itch to try their hand at programming for these consoles. In those cases I could see indie games as their only frame of reference. I personally like the term homebrew, and I think that aftermarket and indie can refer to similar, overlapping things. The arrival of industry vets with financial muscle to make new games certainly blurs the lines, and ultimately people should use the terminology they feel fits them. What’s important to me is that there isn’t any elitism where one person is insulted that a term like homebrew is applied to them. It’s all amorphous and we want to support each other, be what you want without being defensive.

We get it, you style yourself an intellectual. How about we get back to the actual topic?

To be fair, Tanooki is some white guy who’s never had security eyeball him while he’s gone shopping, or had to fear for his life whenever he’s been pulled over by the police. He’s never known people staring at him in his neighborhood with glares that communicated that he didn’t belong. He never had someone assume he was dumb or a criminal just from looking at him. So of course he’s going to casually dismiss anything that recognizes and brings attention to discrimination to peoples who have endured real hardship, because he can’t handle the fact that someone besides him is ever the victim. Haha we get it, your lame racism joke didn’t land. You can’t be bothered to crack open a book or do a simple google search. Nobody cares that you’re over “specialized” holidays. They aren’t for you.

That’s the crazy part. I work for the Postal Service and I didn’t get it off the first year because their attitude was that they couldn’t shut down the mail on 3-days’ notice.

Are you seriously equating a holiday commemorating the announcement of the end of slavery to slaves in the Confederacy to cheeseburger day? What the hell is wrong with you?

Added Homebrews Connexion and itch.io to the header of the OP, thank you for the suggestions!
