Comic 'The Hookworm Offensive'
I drew this comic a while ago and apparently forgot to post it. I probably procrastinated since it will be on its own line in the gallery thumbnail grid. Please pretend it is still relevant. Thank you. Read >>

ExtrudeX Kickstarter Scam Video
In this video I evaluate a kickstarter for a 3D printer filament recycler that I believe to be a scam. The demonstration video is deceptively edited to show the machine doing things that it cannot actually do and the entire concept is a bad idea. Watch Here >> Watch on YouTube >>

Bernie Off The Top Rope
On the subreddit /r/FunnyAndSad, there is a robot/shill that does nothing but cross-post links to /r/democraticSocialism . Today it dropped all pretense and posted this Bernie Sanders meme. It got upvotes despite not being funny or sad. I edited it to be more of both.

I have summarized and rated all of the anime I have seen. There may be some things missing and out of order because there is a lot. Read On >>
2019 Failure
I didn't post anything in all of 2019. I'm adding this post in 2020 so the 2019 page isn't empty.
Visual Basic Games
I've uploaded a bunch of visual basic games that I made in high school. I updated them to run in windowed mode and have proper timing on modern computers, but I have not attempted to fix any bugs. Strangely, many of them run slower on a 3+ GHz computer with Windows 10 than they did on a Pentium-200 with Windows 95. Thanks Microsoft. Source code is included.

Perennial Ocean2 Elevator
Believe it or not, I'm still working on this game. I have implemented many gameplay features - at least that's what I think until I go to put them in a level and something goes wrong. Anyway here's an elevator thing that totally works and doesn't get you stuck in the floor at all. Watch Video >>
