The few select people who have played the underrated Phantom 2040 (SNES/Genesis) can finally rest because I figured out the game's over 20 ending variations and how to trigger them.
I made a FAQ which will hopefully help millions of present and future gamers

Was hoping to go to sleep earlier, but having bungled my way through a stressful day, can’t even get sleep right today. 😔

The only real problem with Darkest Dungeon 2 is the narrator will pop up in your head uninvited whenever you encounter the slightest issue in the real world. “The rancid discourse was far from salubrious, and rankled the jangled nerves of the traveler”.

Resuming recording for this project later this week. Normally I'd give hints at what might be coming up, but nothing specific here except the intention is for it to be uniformly HEAVY.

It's been just over a year since leaving Dark Horse and I've grown a lot as a freelance editor. I'm really eager to get back to editing more comics and graphic novels this year, especially for authors in the indie space.

Today I was laid off from Dark Horse Comics. While devastating news, I'm so proud of what I helped make there and am grateful to have worked alongside such amazing coworkers and creators.
I'm not quitting comics yet, so if you or someone you know needs a savvy editor please reach out.

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?
Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

I made this from guitar and bass samples to try and emulate my own preference for those sounds. Its a minimalistic take, think Terry C Riley rather than some pop effort.

A good majority of the artist you like and follow use Discord to talk to commissioners, for many like myself, this is a dig into their livelihoods and makes being an artist that much harder.
Cancel your Nitro if you have it, corporations listen when their wallets take the hit.
