i know not many people would want to read a 10,000 word article about the minecraft end poem and how the author, Julian Gough, was never fairly compensated for his work and has made it public domain.
But it's a very well-written and heartfelt read, and he makes it very clear that none of this is a cash-grab and despite the fact that he is essentially a starving artist in this capitalist society, he only mentions his financial struggles despite Minecraft's huge huge success at the bottom of this article and not in the tweets so as to not dilute his message.
Anyway, I just think it'd be cool if those who are able to could support him in some way whether it be subscribing to his substack or donating to his paypal (that's linked in the article, you can ctrl + F to find it easier), that's all.

Kevin is my lil wildcard. He's aroace. He's gay and in love with Aaron. He's gay and in love with Andrew. He's gay and in love with Neil. He's gay and in love with Jean. He's gay and in love with Jeremy. He's gay and in love with Andrew and Neil. He's gay and in love with Jean and Jeremy. He’s straight and in love with Allison. He's bi and in love with any of the above. He's bi and aro but it takes him a long time to realize it because he's with Thea and they seem to feel the same way about each other so clearly that is what being in love feels like. He’s only into casual sex. He’s incapable of being casual about sex. He's genderqueer. He's cis but likes being called princess. He’s straight but has such intense relationships with men (Andrew, Neil, Jean, Riko) that he spends years questioning his sexuality. He's ace and biromantic. He’s queer but his head hurts if he tries to figure out exactly what that means. He’s a shapeshifter that changes depending on my mood, but every version of him makes complete sense to me.

I love that Arthur has a chance to be sleeping when you load up the game, it implies that when you log out he just goes "welp, it's nap time" and next thing you know he's going honk shoo honk shoo against a rock in Rhodes

Me before completing the forest temple: okay I get that ocarina of time is fun and nostalgic for people but it’s a bit of a stretch to call it one of the greatest video games of all time
Me after completing the forest temple: By revealing that Link is not a Kokiri, but a Hylian, the game effectively strips him of his humble origins amongst a group of people that already fail to recognize him in his adult form. Thus, kokiri village instantly becomes a location that is no longer Link’s home in any sense, exacerbated by the fact that the game now loads up in the temple of time instead of Link’s bedroom— he is a stranger in the only place that has ever been familiar to him and he is depressingly reduced to his destiny alone. However, the subsequent introduction of the time travel mechanic, which allows the player to travel from the horrific apocalyptic future back to the idyllic past of Link’s childhood, gives new meaning to the idea of this “destiny”. In effect, Link is not a stock “chosen one”, but a protagonist who consciously decides to fight onwards. Link’s dual existence as a child who knows the grim future and as an adult who was powerless to stop disaster gives a sort of desperation to his character, because while it brings the player relief to revisit the Castle Town that is populated by cheerful villagers instead of lurking zombies, the story can only be progressed through the acknowledgement of reality — the decision to make those seven years pass again. Therefore, both the player and Link as a character must be proactive in their heroism and make the conscious choice to struggle onwards despite the darkness that permeates—

"My head's been wet with the midnight dew
I've been down on bended knee
Talkin' to the Man from Galilee
He spoke to me in the voice so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of angel's feet
He called my name and my heart stood still
When he said,
'John, go do my will!'"
