  So. 365 days ago I published Axial Disc 1. I don't think I have to explain what Axial is or how it turned out considering the people who read these are like the most core of the core audience. Unlike... Continue reading

  Man, isn't it wild how we can just... make anything? I think it's insane! Art gives us so much power, effectively limitless power depending on your circumstances. And despite that, I have always loath... Continue reading
