Can you explain a little more about the impact the hermit charity fundraiser had on the operating budget?
i was going to go back and find my discord messages about it from the time, but i have a far more reliable source available - the gamers outreach press release/blog about their annual report. (and, for posterity's sake, the actual tax audited annual report itself for 2022 is linked in that same blog, it's just a pdf download, which is why i'm not linking it here.)
there are a lot of things to be said about it, but honestly, this paragraph i think says everything:
for context, the hermitcraft charity stream raised $439,599. if they raised $4.2 million that year, that means that we raised a full 10% of the money they raised that year.
elsewhere in the article they mention directly ways that the hermitcraft charity stream made an impact on their 2023 plan, how they handled the go karts, and other ways things changed because of the fact that they had that much more money than they'd had the year before.
which is still kind of insane to think about, really, but i cannot express enough: we made an impact on the operating budget of this charity, and their ability to actually deliver their promise of go karts to children in hospitals around the us.
which is pretty wild, right?
i'm excited we're doing it again this year. lets see if we can give them 10% more moneys again, yeah?
The reference you have for Three scs's mask goes to a 404 link, do you have the image saved?
so, i can at least find the reference in my discord conversations! this is the reference i was using, although you can use another version of the idea of "red venetian harlequin mask" as needed, the more important thing to me was the general vibes here than the exact mask!
this is the same charity they worked with in 2022 for the charity stream then, that make the gaming carts for children in the hospital! if you haven't been following the hermits on twitter, you can see that they've been being delivered.
and if you weren't around for the charity stream then, i need to express that, after checking the charity's financials afterwards, We Made A Bit Of An Impact On Their Operating Budget, to say the least. let's see if we can do that again, shall we?
