I have discovered the ultimate way to keep yourself grounded: get yourself a cat. No matter how well things are going for you, your cat still barely tolerates your existence.

New Lovecraftian book recommendation: Red Equinox by Douglas Wynne . If you need horrifying monsters from another reality, he’s got you covered. If you want scenes that will stick with you after reading, he’s got you covered.

I just wanted to say a quick thank you to our Patreon supporters. You are all awesome and I love you in a non-icky way.

I hope you are all having a great day and your enemies are struck with a sense of existential angst.
