The 80s were obsessed with the 50s, now we're obsessed with the 80s, time is a flat circle.

I think the most alarming thing about this particular workplace is that "keep out" has been written on the door in such a way as to only make sense from this exact perspective, from all other points of view it will be incredibly distorted.

Also that baby is gonna die

Either! There is a self-contained little skill driven system if you want to use it, but you could use anything else you want for character stats and conflict resolution. Then use the narrative oracle outcome system from my book, in conjunction with tracking things like relationships and goals.

Well, it's your lucky day! Assuming that you're lucky day is actually at some undetermined point in the future when I finish this thing.

Be a cape or a mask in the world of Crimr, or take on arcade esports in the world of 20XX. Maybe get a sneak peek of our next game's setting, a magipunk dystopia, too.

I'm in early stages, and can't promise everything, but that's the ambition. So ride along if you like. patreon.com/fictionfacto...

If this works out, my plan is an itchio release like my visual novels, free / pay-as-you-want. If you'd like an early look and provide feedback, I'm gonna drop a draft on my Patreon backers within a month.

And to entice... it'll have special rules for Arcade Spirits and Penny Larceny's settings.

Proof positive that "vtuber" does not a set of values ascribe. Anyone can be a cute anime waifu uwu~ even an abhorrently repulsive excuse for life uwu~

Still, pretty nice to know that I have a relatively rare shirt here. I've been supporting desert bus since the very first year, and plan to keep going as long as they do. The VST is doing an amazing job, so pat on the back.

I found it! This was for the desert bus documentary backers. vst.ninja/DB10/prize_a...

It was a clear plastic bag and the sticker holding it shut just had the DB logo. Here's a flatter picture of it. The tag on the neck does read canvas as the brand. It's possible this is not from DBFH given it just says desert bus on it. Maybe it's blue leg? I have no idea where I got this.

Dang, ancient history. And it was still in the shipping bag. I'd say I'm a hoarder but I have an excuse (I'm disabled and can't move stuff around easily!)

I don't know! An ongoing problem for me is "open package, set down contents somewhere, forget about them for years and years." I found this sealed in its plastic bag while cleaning my room recently, and decided to pop it open today. Could've been anywhen!

2022, nothing since. And that screen is way inferior. The 13 mini has the best balance between size and resolution for a small phone.

Heck yeah. You do you, fam.
