With the death of Cohost soon, I made a neocities and imported all my important posts to it. If I get a decent enough following here I will post when there's new stuff on the site

Here's my YouTube also if I ever feel like making a video again: youtube.com/@UmbrellaTerms

It appears our beloved Rebecca Heineman has now passed on. She lived her life in such a way as to leave a trail of joy in her wake next to a long list of creative accomplishments. She was a fixture in many communities and a titan in games history. Becky was the best kind of person.
