@CaseyRoo_ , @RazorsEdgeRaz , and @bansheebotpete are pillars to the community, genuinely wonderful people, and are far too nice to say this, but I will. The price hike was nearly 300% from $500 to $1400 for ONE 10x10 booth. All three of these amazing artists get TWO booths every year, which would now be $2600. Blaming the "growth of the GCX Conference" while simultaneously receiving corporate funding reeks of greed. This is in addition to the severe LACK of promoting Artist's Alley on GCX's side, for which they claim these artists' are making "so much money, traffic, and exposure." GCX was transitioning from "just a Destiny conference" to an amazing gamer destination vacation conference. I was really looking forward to GCX27, but I can't in good conscience support this until this situation is rectified. Please @GCXEvent make this right. Especially in an age of combating AI slop, we need artists like Casey, Razor, and Pete. (and yes I paid the 8 bucks to say all this, so sue me lol)

Falls ihr im Büro einem völlig übernächtigten Sysadmin begegnet: Sagt kurz Danke im Vorbeigehen. Nicht stehen bleiben. Nichts fragen. Einfach Danke.

‼️ BREAKING: US lab giant Quest Diagnostics was hacked. A hacker broke into Quanum LSM, the system clients use to order tests and view results. Quest says patient health and personal data was accessed. It put the system offline and pointed clients to paper order forms.
