Well thank God people with moral values still exist in this country. I wasn't sure for a minute.

Yes, people are "doing something".

NINETEEN STATES have joined the suit so far. In a climate this divided, that's not nothing. That's SOMETHING.

Many of the people in power know this is wrong. Others are realizing that people aren't going to stand for this forever. Keep the pressure up. Don't give up, don't give them your despair.

And don't fall victim to the illusion that nobody is resisting. The fact that you haven't seen it means it is being concealed from you, not that it does not exist. Much is being done and will be done without your knowledge. Do not let the assumption that nobody ELSE is fighting cause you to abandon the fight. That is precisely what they want to achieve.

This can be turned around. Even if you don't believe that, it doesn't hurt to act as though you do.

Keep pressing.

Mind Blind, Now With Twenty Percent More Bruschetta

The cover art has been ordered. The Patreon demo updated. The public beta planned for this March, because it's been five years and this is ridiculous.

Oh, and the game is finished. For realsies. The code doesn't even accidentally send you to the nineth level of hell anymore (that's my next work).

Public demo has also been updated and moved. As thanks to everyone who notified me, it now includes up to Chapter 12. Enjoy the party:

Every time I see art of Kaidan glowing, I remember the line from the Citadel DLC where he says that he also glows blue when he's drunk, and I truly believe that there was a scene like this at some point in his and Shepard's relationship.

Kaidan (drunkenly stumbles into the captain's cabin): Shep- Sheprrrd! Sheprr... I just... I just wanted to say that I... that I love you and I need you and I'LL NEVER LEAVE YOU AGAIN! And when it's over and we win, we'll go to Vancouver and we'll get married and we'll adopt a dog or a kid or... something... and it'll be great. We'll be so happy and... and... MY PARENTS ARE GREAT! IT WILL BE SO GOOD!

Shepard, who has just fallen asleep after a 16-hour shift:

In college, I did a lot of digging into my family history and there are quite a few interesting characters on both my mom and dad's sides. I opened that project up again and oh man do I have a lot of amazing things that I missed from when I first started this genealogy thing.

First of all, this is Farleigh Hungerford Castle, my ancestral home on my dad's side.

Much of the buildings are in ruins, but the chapel (picture 4) still stands after being reconstructed in 1779. It was all built up by my ancestor Sir Walter Hungerford after he inherited the original manor which was constructed in the 1380s.

Sir Walter led a very fascinating life. His father Thomas Hungerford was the first recorded Speaker of the House of Commons and Walter received the same title as well as those of Sheriff of Wiltshire and Dorset. He served under three Kings of England - Henry IV, Henry V, and Henry VI. It was under Henry V that he gained a reputation as a skilled warrior, fighting alongside the king during the Battle of Agincourt as well as the Siege of Rouen. He was made a Knight of the Garter and eventually Steward of the King's Household and Treasurer of England. When Henry V died in 1422, Sir Walter was executor of his will and one of the men placed in charge of the infant Henry VI.

Sir Walter died at the age of 71 and was buried in Salisbury Cathedral. He and his wife Catherine Peverell had four children, and I am descended from their daughter, Elizabeth Courtenay.
