I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.

I caught myself thinking "have I even played Night Puncher 3?" as if it were a real game and not made up for a single page of my comic.
But seriously, Bone David is only a meta pick because the hitbox on his Forward Heavy is busted.

Every time I hear that someone has “rizz” my immediate reaction is to picture Rizzo the rat in his letterman jacket and backwards hat, and then if I think whoever we’re talking about is at least as cool as that I go “yeah”

"The time for a softer, gentler Apocalypse World was gone."
Apocalypse World: Burned Over represents the complicated ways that both the Bakers and reality have changed since the original RPG's release.

Apocalypse World: Burned Over is kinder and much angrier
