CHLOROPHYLL AND GASOLINE IS LIVE
Hey everyone! Are you looking for a fluffy gay story between two people separated by the centuries? I just published one :D
CHLOROPHYLL AND GASOLINE COVER
Willow is a curious young woman who lives in the Yggdrasil, a city-sized tree host to dozens of villages eking out a living in the post-collapse world. On occasion, she plunges down into the dark and unmapped roots of Yggdrasil, trying to find rare plants or technological relics from the past. On a sortie to a new location, Willow finds a strange living statue that calls itself Suzy. In speaking to this statue, Willow starts to feel compelled towards helping this lost soul. However, before she can help Suzy, she must deal with the pushback at home, as not everyone believes Suzy to be the same kind person that Willow does.
So if you want to read a story about a plant-person and a robot meeting each other, realizing the separation between them, and working towards bridging the gap, consider buying Chlorophyll and Gasoline! It’s on amazon, only 1.99, and a paperback version is coming out soon!

Several people have asked over the years if I’d ever considered making Violet MacRae a man. I feel now is the time to state that I definitely see it as a possibility, we’d just have to rename the character Violet MacRoy, because that’s how last names work, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

best moments in gaming journalism
journalist gets real yakuza members to play yakuza 3 and asks for their opinions on its authenticity
that’s it
highlights:
“What’s with all the fucking gaijin in this area?” “Dude, don’t say that, use gaikokujin, it’s nicer.” “Oh, shit, right. What’s with all the fucking gaikokujin in this area?”
“The breaded pork cutlet bento box is like mega power. More than ramen. That’s accurate.”
all of them start dragging kiryu for his shitty cheap shirt for five minutes
“Shooting people sends a message.” “So does shooting anything.”
(after being told that massage parlors, mahjong, and hostess clubs were cut from the US version) “I feel sorry for the people who bought the American version. SEGA USA sucks.”
S: I don’t know any ex-yakuza running orphanages.
K: There was one a few years ago. A good guy.
M: You sure it wasn’t just a tax shelter?
K: Sure it was a tax shelter but he ran it like a legitimate thing. You know.
HOW COULD YOU FORGET THE BACKSTORY THOUGH

JAKE ADELSTEIN COVERS THE YAKUZA BEAT AS A FREELANCE JOURNALIST AND JUST HAPPENS TO KNOW THESE DUDES
If I recall correctly, this is the reporter I wrote on Twitter to consult on the Yakuza in Ragnarök, specifically to make sure I wouldn’t be killed for using them as fictional villains.
