A very long and difficult post.

The future of JL8 is uncertain. This is an difficult post to make for many of reasons, not least of which is that there are lots of people here in the States having much more difficult times, but I’ve been putting this off until the last possible moment, and it feels like it’s finally arrived. JL8 has been largely inactive for years until very recently. The lack of updates was never due to a lack of interest or desire to produce the comic, but because of a myriad of health issues—that I’d prefer to keep personal—that I’ve been struggling with since late 2018 that have been preventing me from working on the series with any degree or regularity. As I’m sure anyone can surmise, not working on a comic regularly is not a great way to find success when you’re trying to live as a cartoonist. So much so that at the beginning of this year, my wife and I had a serious discussion about whether it was time for me to accept that I’m no longer capable of making this my living, and that I need to move on. With the writing so clearly on the wall, and with a LOT of help from support networks, I threw myself into the work in a way I haven’t in years. So far in 2025, I’ve produced and posted more pages of JL8 than I had in the past four—nearly five—years COMBINED, even with occasional spates where my health prevented me from working as regularly as I’d liked. I was, and am, determined to save this project that I love so much, but the reality is that it may be too little, too late. Nine months into this return, and the needle doesn’t feel like it’s moved much. To be clear, this is a financial problem. I wish that we lived in a world where that didn’t matter, and people could make art for the sake of it without having to worry about how they’ll put food on the table, but that’s not the world we live in. As it stands, it requires about 30+ hours of work per week to maintain the current JL8 output, and that’s only if I have other things—commissions, shop orders—to also work on. If I d…

Same and there is no end to my disgust
First of all it is patently evil to refer to people as infectious diseaselike aliens
Secondly from a lore point the UNSC/Covenant *are the invaders.* They're the ones that showed up to a place they didn't belong and did some shit they weren't supposed to

I asked Microsoft PR about this—specially the DHS using Halo IP to recruit for ICE—and the company declined to comment.

One thing a lot of my friends missed from other social media platforms was interacting with venerable Japanese game devs. To that end I've made a list of folks I know are here, focusing on devs whose games you will have heard of. Please share and tell me who I'm missing! go.bsky.app/5R1tEtT

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly.

Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.

Stay safe out there.
This picture is from about 5 minutes after being hit. A visible bruise is forming on my right cheekbone and by my right eye.

Anyone with a unity account should vote for us in this community choice award because it will be very funny if unity were forced to give an award to some of the loudest whistleblowers of the licensing issues in 2022. Imagine them having to give that team an award.
