Dwarf Fortress and Pukebeard are my two patreons to point at.

I have gotten more hours of enjoyment out of Dwarf Fortress than any other video game... and I think funding small creators helps spur innovation in content. Find some niche creator doing something you love, give them 10/video or whatever their medium is, help them go independent.

Holy hell, DF somehow never dawned on me when I was deciding which patreons I should support a whileback. The amount of fun that game has provided is insane for something free.

Context: I used to work onboard ships, 5 weeks at a time, with really shit internet. And once I'd exhausted all the media I'd downloaded while at home, DF was what kept me entertained for four years.

Subscribing as soon as I'm back on my PC.
