He/him.
Writer. Hopes to find a literary agent and/or get published. Considering self-publishing, but not in the right space for that yet.
Yeah, Douglas was the first celebrity death that really hurt badly, and I'd like to think he would have aged like Sir Terry, but I worry he would be another person on the wrong end of the whole TERF shit.

I didn't watch the whole almost 9 hours (that'll be what Youtube is for,) but thank you so much for playing the game for us. I always love watching your Underdelta Let's Plays.

To be fair, I was pretty sure I was, too, but I still liked it being certified. Now I can show it off as proof! It's like that Harley Quinn scene in reverse.

Oh god, that gacha system. After I beat the game, I probably spent as much time trying to get the remaining Blades as it would have taken me to just replay Final Fantasy 6. After getting all of them except KOS-MOS, I realized how low my odds were and just couldn't go on anymore.

Anyway, I know they'll never do it, but I'll give them huge props if the post-credits scene of the Smash Brothers movie is the reveal that it's just a bunch of kids playing with their action figures.

Do you think they'll cut right to Tabuu, do some sort of "Legion of Doom" with Nintendo villains (which is basically Subspace Army without Tabuu anyway), or pretend that the biggest danger to Nintendo's entire lineup of heroes is a big hand?

My fan cast is Gwendolyn Christie, but that would really only matter in live-action.

Nyeh heh heh! At last, Papyrus is popular! He's sure to get into the Royal Guard now!

Do you have a Taz season ranking? Here's mine.

Balance
Vs. Dracula

Steeplechase
Amnesty
Ethersea

Graduation
Abnimals

The gaps between the three tiers of seasons is intentional and vast. I had to put some thought into which Travis season I thought was worse.

How did you like the live show? I'm only half an hour in so far, so I can't comment. Actually, how did you like Vs. Dracula overall?

There's a reason a lot of people call Marche the villain of that game.

This is far from the biggest issue with this season, and it was nice hearing Johnathon Colton again after so long, but how could they be at "the height of their powers" if there's an exp system?

I both empathize and feel the same way. On one hand, I know you're way worse off than I am right now, and I wish I could do more to help besides Patreon money. On the other hand, I've written 12 novels and 5 screenplays! I'm in my mid-forties! I don't want to shout into the void anymore!

Here are Natie, Buster and Chester. This is the only picture I got of them sharing the bed together like this.
February 3, 2025 at 4:43 AM
I value you and all the work you do. Outside of your Patreon, please let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Though, for the record, of all that, maybe half of the novels and screenplays are ones I'd be willing to show anyone not in my immediate family. The early stuff before I found my voice was rough. I also have a bunch of video game design documents from when I wanted to get into that more.
