Lua may not have gotten a guest in centuries, but that doesn't mean she's forgotten how to put on that showtime smile. Meet her and the rest of the merfolk in Aqua Di Amor! Current version now available on Itchio and Newgrounds

Two years ago today, my team and I were fired from the outlet that we rebuilt from the ground-up and put a ton of love and work into.

Next weekend we get to celebrate two years of independence, building something better than what came before, and the best community on the net.

Time flies.

Contrary to the UNE's claims of "unifying humanity under a common banner" the state it birthed was conceived through fear, greed, violence, and corruption. The nation's reference to these conflicts as "Unification Wars" highlights its hypocritical origins.
