<h1 style="">Hi! I'm <strong>Kris Lorischild!</strong></h1><p style=""> I'm an independent writer and editor living in Southern California. </p><p style=""></p><p style="">In 2018, after working for 10 years as a journalist, I released&nbsp; <a href="https://direkris.itch.io/you-are-jeff-bezos" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">You Are Jeff Bezos</a>,&nbsp;a text-based adventure game where you assume Bezos's identity and spend all his money. It got a little bit of attention and led to working full-time as a game developer: I was narrative co-lead and localization editor for Spry Fox's critically-acclaimed&nbsp;<a href="https://cozygrovegame.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cozy Grove</a>,&nbsp;I've served as an editor for Riot Games and Choice of Games, and I am formerly the financial director of&nbsp;<a href="https://critical-distance.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Critical Distance</a>, a non-profit dedicated to the curation and preservation of good games criticism.</p><p style=""></p><p style="">At the moment I'm relying entirely on the generosity of friends and patrons like you to get by, so anything you can afford to give will go directly to covering my basic living expenses. <img alt="" src="https://i.imgur.com/00T7lcj.jpg" title=""> <em>Some (generally) nice things people have said about You Are Jeff Bezos.</em></p><h2 style="">Rewards</h2><p style=""> Donors at any level receive access to exclusive previews of my upcoming work, including IF beta builds, prototypes, and excerpts from my totally rad space novel. If you are fond of&nbsp;<a href="https://direkris.itch.io/you-are-jeff-bezos" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">You Are Jeff Bezos</a>'s dry humor and metaphysical headtrips like&nbsp;<a href="https://direkris.itch.io/displacer" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Displacer Beast</a>, you definitely want to be in on this. If you pledge at the $10/mo tier or higher, you'll also receive exclusive Caturday candid shots of my beloved cat Jason, seen below in one of her many outfits.</p><p style=""></p><h2 style="">Here's My Cat Jason Inquiring About Your TPS Reports</h2><p style=""><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52200172612_7ba22552da_b.jpg" title=""> <em>Yyyyyeaah, I'm gonna need you to come in on Caturday...</em></p><h2 style="">Other Ways to Support</h2><p style=""> If you're unable to support me on a recurring basis, you can also send a <strong>one-time donation</strong> via PayPal <a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=LXUX6QG6XKGJU&amp;source=url" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">here</a>.
