The Newsblade ~ Out Of Order
🕑 Added 2025-07-19 22:07:53 +0000 UTCNo new comics this week - my Surface Pro 8 keyboard has stopped reliably connecting to the device and it's the only way to charge the pen. I'm typing this on the touch screen and it's painful.
If you're a cool dude you can throw $3 towards a new one, but don't feel obligated (especially if you're a patron already). Of course the road to Episode 1000 would have some more road-bumps. We should have known! Khaaaaan!
This is my punishment for all the late nights getting the Platinum trophy in Expedition 33, which is an amazing game and you should all play it. I'd go on about it, but everything is a spoiler, it's that good.
The latest Rick and Morty was also a great episode. I'm staying regular with Dr Stone and Panty & Stocking Season 2 as well.
There is a monster-catching game engine similar to RPG maker coming out on Steam this year, so I'm thinking of making a Haunted House roguelike and taking bribes donations to determine the designs of all the monsters. I think it'd be fun to have 3 elemental variants for each Starter too, so you always pick the element you want, but the monster options won't always be the same.
Cut The Deck is still available to order, but only NZ/AU orders will be shipping for the next 3 weeks. The game is 85% fulfilled and the team need a break. You can still reach out if you want to pick up your copy at Gen Con.
I wouldn't mind taking the opportunity to upgrade to a big Wacom on a desktop - in the long-run it might be better for my hands and eyes and spine. So I'm open to suggestions about the best setup I can put together in New Zealand.
That's all for now, sorry

I can never afford merch because of shipping costs but I sent you some pen money! Remind me to upgrade my membership at the beginning of the month!

You're already supporting me so much! Thank you! I don't really need a lot of features - just something I can work comfortably on for hours at a time. Maybe I should nag Huion to send me more free stuff. :D

Threw a couple bucks towards the 1000 party. Hurion makes excellent and much cheaper drawing tablets. XPPen is also good but may lack some of the features to make up for even better prices. Both can actually be plugged into a laptop and used.
