T w e n t y S i d e d
Just a little bit this week.
Played some Rimworld. Maximizing melee stats has been funny, I accepted a quest that had my colony fight off 48 cougars in exchange for ~600 gold and some armor. My colonists faired quite well, having only the loss of a hand as any injury of significance.
We got a new fridge today. It keeps things cold.
How’s everyone else this week?

Free Radical
The product of fandom run unchecked, this novel began as a short story and grew into something of a cult hit.
