Bad News

In case you’re wondering why I’m not posting much, my father died of a heart attack recently and things are not going well.
I don’t really feel like going into it further than that.

My shoulder still hurts. It’s been almost two years now and I’ve lost hope things will ever improve. I’m also dealing with an opportunistic infection right now, due to a weakened immune system, apparently from being depressed / stressed out.

One stress factor actually being my Patreon… More and more I feel like keeping it going is unethical in a way, because I know I won’t be able to ever finish this comic with the way my health is going.

Not sure what I’m going to do.

Anyway… that’s all for now. bye.

Patreon alternatives.

Patreon is probably always going to be my main thing, but the issue with the fee structure changes, which they didn’t go through with mind, may have soured some people on it. And then of course there’s people who want to make one-off donations every now and then. Plus it’s always a good idea to not put all your eggs in one basket.

So for the one-off donations there’s now my Ko-Fi.

And for a Patreon alternative there’s now my Liberapay.

Liberapay is interesting because it’s a nonprofit so they don’t charge additional fees. It’s different from Patreon in that you have a wallet there that you charge and then slowly use up, that is how they reduce transaction fees. Also, no rewards or anything there, which is fine by me since I don’t do rewards right now. If I ever offer real rewards on Patreon, I would keep them behind the paywall only for a limited time anyway.
