👾 Side‑Quest from Your Editor

Hey Trend‑Trackers—

Keep reading to know how to get a lifetime access for free.

You know me as the guy who dissects internet currents every morning, but my life has another lane: I make video games. I’ve designed arcade‑style titles for billion dollar companies.

Why mention this now?

DreamCon—one of the country’s biggest Black‑owned pop‑culture cons—just invited me to premiere my latest game on the show floor and feature it in a con-wide video game high score contest (May 30, Houston). Stellar news… but it’s short notice so its’ definitely coming with some costs that dreamCon does not cover.

The plan: REVERSE‑AUCTION fundraiser

Tomorrow (10 AM ET) I’m running a reverse auction for lifetime subscriptions to software packages that I have created especially for creators including the Summary of the Internet Social Media Coaching app

  • Starts at $1

  • Every purchase bumps the price by $1

  • Final buyer gets a full refund + cameo in the game

And that’s your answer. Be the last buyer at the reverse auction and you get everything for FREE. Or be early and get it just for $1. The faster you move the better your deal.

👉Go to reverse.bookifier.ai to learn more.

Jump in early for a steal, or time your move and try to be the last buyer who pays $0. Either way, you’re fueling an indie game showcase that means a lot to me—and to Black dev representation on that stage.
