    I can be found on twitter and I make stuff surrounding Hellhounds. Even set up a Patreon for it but nothing has really taken off.

    A tossed aside storyline

    I decided to release all my previously planned storylines that I had drawn up and I have a LOT of them, and some are vague, some are detailed, and more than a few aren't even MLP related. I think that by having to throw my ideas out in the wild, I could re-examine them. Ideas are only as good as the execution, so I don't believe any of them are good due to my failure to complete the stories

    Rock and Stone! Some writing prompts on the side

    So update from last time. I managed to find a new job by pure chance, and how I got hired is a tad strange to me. So I was walking around looking for buildings that had the whole "WE ARE HIRING" poster on the front, and whilst waltzing past some building under construction I took a look at one of the papers plastered on the side of it. Within a second of me stopping in front of the building to

    Compulsive lies

    I tend to lie through admission rather often. It's a bad habit of mine that happens either on accident or on purpose, and my most recent lie through admission would be in regards to my work. I quit my job. Had a two, more like three, week notice too. This important news has not been conveyed to literally anyone of my friends or family. This is not the first time I've done this, albeit the first

    Late Merry Christmas

    Here's another log for the sometimes monthly diary so I don't ever forget who I used to be once the years pass by. I don't particularly celebrate christmas all that much, but merry christmas all the same. This year's holidays was both disappointing and wasn't at the same time, and for a reason that makes me feel like a hypocrite upon trying to type it out, since I generally disliked

I be so salty · 2:42am Jan 3rd, 2017

I got a game called Salt and Sanctuary and so far it has been wonderful. Hell I even killed a dragon then gained the powers of spider man for some reason. The thing that's got me so salty in this 2-D version of Dark Souls, is that co-op in this game is utter bullshit yet amazing. Let me explain, the co-op in this game is local only, and was originally made for ps4, but when transitioned over to PC the co-op became shit. Also in order to use a shield you have to press CTRL how is that a convenient button for a vital tool?! So let me list off some things that has me salty-
1.The PC port was neglected
2.Shields are utter shit
3.Magic is bullshit as it decreases you maximum stamina bar
4.And if you join the wrong covenant half the sanctuaries you go to won't be viable bases
5.Bows are essentially useless with the PC controls as you can't aim with them, and yes there is arrow drop which hinders the range incredibly
6.Did I already mention magic?
7.Ugrading your equipment is a tedious grind and overly expensive though in later parts of the game it becomes less grind
8.An entire map with accurate archers and thin platforms where it only takes a tiny nudge to die of fall damage, also tons of poison
9.Also in the previous thing I mentioned there are also platforms that collapse after two seconds of standing on them
Here are 9 things that make me salty, but now let's mention the 9 things that have me praise this sanctuary.
1.The armor is extremely diverse as is equipment fit for many scenarios
2.The lvling system is wonderfully diverse, as well as classes
3.Upon death the thing that kills you absorbs the salt you held to make it stronger
4.Instead of using currency to lvl up you use salt, and the currency is GOLD beautiful GOLD
5.Upon Death you also get revived by a cleric at a specific fee depending where you are
6.There's fuckin alchemy...enough said
7.There are diverse brands in the game that grants your character special abilities such as gravitational changes to the environment
8.There are diverse charms to add bonus for different equipment sets that work with rings
9.The bosses are creepy...and interesting...except that dragon he wasn't that interesting but he did look cool
And that concludes my report for Salt and Sanctuary hope ye liked it:twilightsmile:
