Just made a little video essay exploring some of the weird rhetorical arguments and narratives created by Civilization 6's systems and mechanics.

Another #DnD Character theme in the box. This time it's the warlock Naved and their newly uncovered pseudo destiny. More of a progressive piece with lots of time changes and some saucy modulations.

Made a small #satirical #essay about the future of our #digital feudalist lives. It's not really satirical. And it's not really about the future. It's more like just a description of what life is right now. With maybe just a bit of hyperbole.

Another character theme for my #D&D campaign. This time Triandra gets the special treatment. A very weird of off kilter track with some odd time signatures and some synthesizers mixed in with flutes.

Whenever I have a long term #DnD Campaign I make themes for all the characters. Here is the one I made for the Tiefling Artificer Alkaline. A little #classical piece featuring the Music Box.

For those who may be interested, I have started a procedural novel that I plan on releasing chapters on whenever they are ready. It's a post apocalyptic dark fantasy novel called Far Beyond the Seams. First chapter is out now!

Watching the state of the union. Democrats looking like a bunch of flacid cocks holding their little resistance paddles while a facist dictator eliminates every ally they have around the globe. Like come on. Be like the Al Green. Get thrown out. Make a ruckus. Do anything.
