I like writing about the worst day of a character's life; it lets us see the mettle inside. (Pronouns: RB/20 )

Hello! I hope you're doing well. I recently read your amazing [story] and thoroughly enjoyed it. The title caught my attention, and the story turned out to be even better than I had anticipated. The characters were really well done, just like the entire narrative. As soon as I finished reading, I thought that this story would look fantastic as a comic. It inspired me to suggest converting it into a comic format.

Sins of a Solar Empire 2 · 11:33pm August 17th

I've played hundreds and hundreds of hours of Sins of a Solar Empire, of SOASE: Entrenchment, and of SOASE: Rebellion.

LOVE those games.

Needless to say, I bought SOASE2 as soon as I could.

I've played about 8 hours. Non-spoiler review below.

In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming · 11:41am August 11th

I'm not going to post a link so as to not look like a spambot hacked my account.

However, having said that, I just played the pre-alpha demo of "Worshippers of Cthulhu" on Steam.

I would say it's still an obvious early version and a bit janky still, but very promising. The gameplay reminded me more of "Tropico" city-building genre more than anything else: recruit citizens, build housing and production buildings, balance your economy.

Movie review · 11:35pm June 15th

I'll keep it short because I don't want to make accidental spoilers:

Inside Out 2 is one of the best movies I've ever seen, and it's writing is beyond sharp.
