I'd support a Patreon. No bullshit.

I'm tempted to say "I've lost better friends than you" to a lote of people lately. I'm not sure what I ever want to say to the better friends that I've lost, though.

Bio
Twelve years ago, I said something on this website that continues to embarrassing me to this day. I was a stupid kid, like most, but I've never quite gotten the taste out of my mouth. Anyone who knew me at the time can tell you about it.
I love this website. I'm pretty sure my phylactery is stored wherever the webserver is and a significant chunk of me will just disappear when it ceases operation. Until then, it comforts me. I should go to the hardware store and paint my bedroom walls with the same soft, brownish grey that the background color has been for the last twelve years. Some of my friends can't wait for the site to go offline but I don't know of any other places that offer the same sense of community.
I'm an omni-gamer. I like board games, tabletop roleplaying games, admire tabletop war games, suck at riddles, and have an absurd library of video games. Survival horror is basically my favorite genre. Otherwise I'm a fan of esoteric, occult bullshit and punk rock. But disco's cool. Disco is what humanity sounds like when it chooses to be happy. Between you and I, I'd like to hope that the days of my life can sparkle like a disco ball, accreting like sparks from a grinder held up against the unwavering dark of deaths own shadow. Burn baby burn.
You and I, we're gonna die. We should be friends first, though. Write some checks we can't cash and make eachother smile. Make believe for a while.

Is NR volunteering to personally fund Andy in this very expensive endeavor? That's incredibly kind of him. Everyone, give NR a round of applause for his generosity.
I see what you're saying. But here's something I mean with every fiber of my being: Fuck traditional publishing. For a beginner, webcomics can be free. Make your art, literally print it on toilet paper and abandon it at high schools and in coffee shops. Why would you want to waste your money so other people can disregard you alongside a thousand seemingly identical products when you can do it yourself and grab your audience by the throat?

Because I'm lazy and too much of a coward to submit my work to the critical public, so I stay here in my comfort-zone where I can get cheap dopamine hits from the occasional Like or Thank.
You should change that, man. I believe in you.

It should be noted that when the Joker said "everyone," the implication was "the nameless rabble of NPC civilians that the Joker was starting to influence into doing increasingly chaotic things," and that it would simply be a one-off post to further that story arc while Batman was doing other stuff. Somehow it became a completely overblown battle royale and I ended up scrapping the Joker's plans altogether.
Why is it that you haven't published a comic?

That RP is incredibly influential and important, so no.
You mean to the twenty of us who participated? For it's significance in our respective psyches and cosmologies. I suppose that without it I never would've developed as a philosopher, as I have (as pretentious as it sounds, I do mean philosopher--not sage) because I wouldn't have researched Snyder's predecessor, Morrison. I loved it, and would gladly crash it again with a third character, but I can't place the sovereignty of that exchange between the lot of us above the entropic psychic bioweapons we tout today.
The people I met through the roleplay (yourself included) provided emotional support at a trying time in my emotional development. So I suppose, sure, it cemented certain bonds that I consider worthy of maintenance, and was therefore worthwhile. It was influential and has shaped a literal dozen or more games that followed in it's wake, therefore being important in the canon of a decidedly non-canon meta-canon, but I can't say it was necessary.
We all live. We all die. Regardless of whether we eat, sleep or have shelter (or thought-provoking entertainment that provides a sense of accomplishment or self-worth). Do we need life? If we're just bullets in the wind, waiting to rot in the dirt between the bones of whatever corpse we plant ourselves in.
I don't think that the game itself, an infinite game with no winning conditions, can really be called necessary. Well, I actually do suppose that it existing on this board was necessary to inspire the rest of us to imitate it's trappings to this day. But it's all for naught, really. Not that it being unimportant makes it any less personally valuable.
I suppose my gripe here is really that necessity is often treated as something concrete that is absolute. But priorities--each man must arrange his own priorities, making their value as steadfast as an ice cream cone under the sunshine. I like ice cream. I like life. I like death and I evidently like rambling about the ultimate insignificance of everything I would love to last forever.

And both were unneeded.
The entire roleplay was unneeded, my friend.

Were you there?
Yes I was. I was there: Twice. As a Talon and as a GL.
Now, for the edgiest thing I've said all week: Even with the degree of negativity associated with the event, I don't regret Robinson Park had happened IC, in spite of it being quite contrived.
Nobody free associates like NR.
I'm a regular Typhoid Larry.

Careful not to cut yourself, the edge is pretty sharp.
