I'm a game developer, professionally!
You may know me from things like: Where the Water Tastes Like Wine, The Museum of Mechanics: Lockpicking, Gone Home, Bioshock 2, or maybe something else.
Right now I work as a Technical Narrative Designer at Remedy Entertainment in Stockholm, Sweden
Perhaps there are other aspects of my personality that may also be revealed here on this website
oh this article is from last year, trust me it's so much worse now. average inflation is 10% is very much an average, cos materials costs have basically doubled. i'm really not fucking kidding.
i'm just trying to like, get family help to make my bathroom livable (and not a crumbling, mould-infested, cardboard cutout of a bathroom it is rn). and some initial quotes of like £9K late last year are not like £13K.
really fucked country. i think everyone knows it's all gonna fall in on itself at this point, incumbent government is the crisis and all that, we're just stretching ourselves thinner and thinner to try delay it.
honestly, for the most part i think it just falls on renters bc all the flats around me that have been bought up by property management companies or private landlords have had the rent jacked up sometimes 100% increase, utilities and council tax very much not included.
