My brain is simultaneously teeming with creative energy and dammed by a stubborn lack of motivation. Need that levee to break.

About to do a Super Nintendo transplant and watch Blade on the PS2 as god intended.
Two super nintendos sit on a blue towel in the foreground. A Sony Trinitron is behind it, Blade plays on it.

I was a college freshman when this game came out and I remember both my roommate and I really hating this boss. The online multiplayer of KZ2 was relentless. Not particularly fast-paced. Rations/munitions were sparse. Made for really strategic play. Frigging loved it.

Oh yeah, screw prime day (unless you're supporting the indie authors who rely on it) and buy from mom n pop shops, indie publishers directly, bandcamp artists, etc.

Also, libraries exist.

@voidcon.bsky.social Dammit! Go visit! Cool folks are there. I am missing y'all from afar. Be cool. Be weird. Be kind. Be one with the void. Melt into the scenery. Collapse into yourself. Embrace the abyss. 💀💜🤘

Coming this November!

Cerulean Sky is a story about absolution set in an America that’s been ravaged by a disease that turns people incorporeal.

It’s my love letter to The Stand!
