Return of Obra Dinn is one of those games that you can only play for the first time once, and that amazing experience is something that sticks with you a long time. Get this game if you can.

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

I was let go from my day job. So until I get a new income I'm a full time author. So if you want to support an author my novels are 0.99 or you can sign up for my newsletter and get books for free. Links in comments or bio. Until then my cat is enjoying my book from her box.

The federal government has occupied Minneapolis. And everyone can see the abuses that come from this situation day in and day out. Even people not protesting cant keep their kids safe. Now imagine 77 years of this.
