Great delivery from @hollowpress.bsky.social - It’s the 3rd book in their Vermis series.
They’re strategy guides for a Dark Souls-style game series that doesn’t exist.
It’s a brilliant concept, with deep lore, incredible writing, unnerving imagery and well thought out mechanics.
Seek them out 👍

Anyone else worried about companies not wanting you to own anything?
We pay to ‘access’ video games, despite owning a physical disc or cartridge.
Instead of owning music, movies or software, we ‘subscribe.’
At any moment, companies can revoke that access or hike prices.
Awful shit.

Just finishing up a new NG+ run on Dark Souls 3, with both DLCs done.
Only the Soul of Cinder left to go 🔥
The Gael fight remains one of the series’ best. This is by far my favourite trilogy of games ever made.
I’d love a shot at writing the official Dark Souls comics. It’d be a dream come true 😳

Eyyy. This is cool news to wake up to!
250 sales may not seem like a lot, but it’s tough out there - in terms of getting your store seen online, and the economy at large.
So a huge thanks to everyone who has ever bought any of my comics 🙏

Killtopia’s second arc begins with Neo Tokyo being hit by a mass mind hack. Our cop duo have to hunt the hacker down before their terror goes global.

Saw this coming a mile off. Facebook has made its feed borderline unusable due to the amount of ads, so it’s obvious they’d start charging for an ad-free membership.
Tech bros are not your friends. It’s all about extracting as much profit from you as possible.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."
