Among other things (like the constant drubbing the Flash comic was getting therein, discussed on my Bluesky), I noticed the repeated references to the desire to make the android ...

To repeat myself yet again, a single vote is nothing to be ashamed of, given the relative number of votes I received and the number of high quality titles folks had to pick from! And today’s ...

This was regardless of whether of not you were viewing the “mobile” version of the site or if you had the “View Desktop Site” option selected. Apparently, in Mobile ...

Maaaaybe.](https://www.progressiveruin.com/2026/08/14/did-i-almost-include-a-picture/) _2026-08-14 · Mikester · Mike Sterling's Progressive Ruin_ First off, a few notes about the site. Yes, I tinkered with the appearance a bit, bringing it a little more in line with What Had Come Before. The post titles are now all caps again, we’ve got serif fonts back, and most importantly, I’ve brought the comments and category links to the top of ...

It was a fun run of books, with each chapter (more or less) delivering wild twists and shocking changes. It ...

This new template for the site should function a little better with different sized screens, I’m certainly hoping. (A note to folks using their cellphones…clicking on the three buttons and selecting “desktop site” (or however it works in your ...

I’ve been working in a secret laboratory, tinkering with templates and japing with jpegs, and I think I finally found the right formula to freshen up this site. I won’t bore you with details (“What? Who are you, and what ...

And while it seems strangely archaic to do something like this, ...

(And the time before that I just kept yappin’ about the Barry Windsor-Smith cover.) Now, why triple-sized I’m not exactly sure. To use a variation of an expression ...

But like I noted yesterday, my initial attempt at my Monday post someway, somehow, caused a glitch in the matrix here. Comments couldn’t be posted on the post, and for some folks the site as a whole wasn’t loading properly. Well, I managed ...

I’ve been running tests (you may see “test” comments from me here and there ’til I get around to ...

For a long time I’ve pushed for ... Read more
