I stopped rewiring my latest bomb and spun my chair around.

“Hime! What’s up, love?” I asked her with the levity of a man who knew his struggles were coming to an end. 

Orihime looked at me with a frown, and I couldn’t help but think that she should be smiling more. I didn’t like ho...

Anton didn’t know what to do. 

The duke was obviously a greedy son of a bitch if he was willing to go so far as to mix a quarter of the coin’s weight with junk metal. That was … that was unthinkable. Anton wasn’t a merchant great enough to understand just how bad it was, but he understood that once the news ab...

Collection: "Solo Killing" pixel art

A heavily modified Achilles-class assault aerodyne dropship.

The yellow-ish ports with red lights are ASF/drone bays. The dark grey circles (not the light greys) are weapon turret slots. The protusion underneath bridge (white and orange) is the spinal cannon.

Kitbashed with Magellan Protectorate parts (Starsector mod) (the Schooner and Merchanter) and roughly finished the bottom half as best as I can.

Vicky stared at Alan, her husband, and couldn’t help but feel … frisky. 

Whatever his martial art cultivation thing did to him every day, she could see the result on his body. He only ever became stronger and more handsome. And Amy, who took to cultivation as well, also grew more beautiful everyday.

Winter passed and I greeted the Year of Our Lord 1305. 

My people managed to go through the harsh Alps winter with very little damage to show for it. Compared to the other cities nearby (Lindau and Chur), there were very any people dying from hunger or exposure. This had a lot to do with the fact that I provided small...

So.

Apple is being Apple again. Starting Nov 2024, Apple says it will remove all third-party billing system and only use its purchasing system on iOS and subject Patreon to an additional in-app payment fee of 30%.
