Prompt: A story set in the Wild West. (Weird West Optional)

This game is not made with love. It is made with pure spite.

However, in my blind stubbornness, I got a little too ambitious compared to my actual writing skill, so the game is only half finished. But I will update the game still.

Thanks for reading.

I did my part.

Looked a bit into this one, seems like the guy was banned for "inappropriate comments", which from what I can tell (since I'm late and have only seen a couple deleted ones) included things like: "the moderation team is wrong and the forum should be lighter with it's moderation", "you shouldn't arrest someone just because they called you names", and "self-harm is ultimately a personal choice and you shouldn't blame people who bullied you for it", et cetera.

Which, y'know, not entirely sure about that last one myself, but those former two were causing some major seething within the CoG loyalists.

That last guy who posted in the thread (before Mary literally gave him no way to respond to her final post just to get the last word) is the same guy who just pulled his game, right?

Wonder what's gonna happen there, since that was for sure the deciding incident on them losing a major writer and consequently a lot of money from both that and future games. I want to believe that the no-talent mod lady who just gagged and talked down to an actual published writer will at least get a stern talking-to and revoked mod status while the others backpedal, but I don't think that's goin to be a thing. More likely just doubling down. They all think the same over there, y'know.

CoG is a dying platform. Good news for literally everyone else.

Understandable.

I did my part.

Oh man, it even glows. That's neat as heck.

Very tactical ornament placement, as well.

I could not decide on which template to use, so I made three of them. Thanks for including audience participation this year.

Merry Christmas, MHD.

Merry Christmas, my friend. I am also bundled up and seriously considering making hot chocolate.

My favorite part of Christmas is actually seeing that other people are having a good time, because I like seeing people be joyous. I also like being able to see my family, for the most part, as well as wearing sweaters and jackets in a part of the world that is usually on fire.

I hope you, and anyone reading this, has a nice holiday season.

I realize that I never actually gave my opinion on this here, but it hasn't changed:

Healer is still the best one. It's the only one of the group that has no obvious downside unless you actively choose to be a bad person. If I had magical healing powers, I sure as heck wouldn't keep them to myself.

Hunter is the worst one, because by choosing this, you are making the conscious choice to bring monsters into the world, that will kill people, just for you to fight. If you pick that one, you're an asshole.

We're all a little autistic here.
