I’ve been engaged in a long quest to free a land from the scourge of pixelated evil. It’s been hard on my thumbs, and earned many eye rolls from my wife. And I’m still not done.
I want to do some writing, but I guess I just haven’t wanted it enough to actually put away the game.
You may now call me lame if you want.

You’ll be at Ad Astra, yeah? (So I may mock you in person, of course.)
I should have mentioned you were exempt from the offer.
