"A Poor Tavern Story" Out Now on Itch.io!

Hey y'all! Just a few hours ago, I released the Twine game adaptation of "Just A Bad Tavern Story" (with a slight rebrand) - it is a short browser game, easy to get through in about five minutes, and it has a few little interactive extras seeded in that weren't possible on the website. Here's the gist, and thank you for reading!

---

Bedtime stories don't have to just be for the little ones; pull up a barstool and listen to the old man's tale, and you might just learn a thing or two. You can read the story in its original form on this very website under the Prose tab.

Note: This game saves your current page using your browser's local storage, meaning that if you run the game again, it will return to your last visited page. But don't worry! Pressing Restart at the bottom right corner will bring you back to the beginning, with all progress cleared.

Why I'm Spamming Old Unreleased Content

I'm sure you'll notice the growing log of crappy, unfinished content that I have shoved onto the site as of...well, today. I came to this realization a few weeks ago, but relating to my unfinished games moreso than documents, and that was how many things I create yet never show to the world. Bad or not, I shouldn't leave content dormant and hidden when it could spark a better idea in someone else. This influx is partially to get some ideas out of my head, but it's also to hopefully help someone else bring about their own. So, I hope you enjoy these posts. Seeya :)

Learning to Love in a World of Hate (The Elder Scrolls)

This is a lorebook within the Elder Scrolls universe that I wrote for a lorebook contest back in 2022. I hope you like it :) --- My mother and father fought often - one worked a mill, the other a kitchen. They never lied nor put their knuckles to use, but brutal honesty lays the truth harder than a fist ever could. Our trips west were marred by icy demeanors and frigid replies, colder than the Alik'r heat had any right to allow. Yet they never parted ways. Not when I was a seed, not when I was a sapling, not even after my trunk stopped growing and my limbs stopped reaching. I admired that. The dedication, the desire to see things through despite their misgivings. I didn't always understand it, but as the years wind down and my light dims further, I think I finally see it for what it was. Love, real love, isn't dictated by constant adoration and pandering, but by cooperation and understanding. Passion is spicy and short - home simmers long and sweet, rooting beneath the surf...

Assassin's Creed and Post-Halloween Clarity

Hi, another lie from me. This is not the correct posting date, and this is not the Halloween post; I sat down to write about my spooky Hallows Eve, but realized very quickly that...I don't care. I actually don't want to talk about Halloween at all, because something much more relevant has taken my interest: Let's talk about why my Assassin's Creed Syndicate review won't be here for a long time. And, in the process, I'll be giving my current thoughts on the game that have brought me to this moment. The Good To be clear, I do enjoy the gameplay of Syndicate. This title has a bunch of mechanics that all play into the experience of taking London back from the cruel grip of the Templar Order. Different mission types that vary wildly in objectives and optimal paths, a focus on upgrading your skills and your gang to show the Assassins' growing influence, and a very methodical path to beating the Templars through simply exploring the map. As for the characters of Ja...
