It’s sort of funny how set you can get, working in a certain way, with things in a certain place. It’s sometimes difficult to imagine that there might be a better way until you move a few things around. Now I have a new keyboard, the position of my drawing tablet doesn’t strain my shoulder, and my monitors are all at a very neutral height. I even ha... 7202026-08-24T00:00:00+00:00 2026-08-24T00:00:00+00:00 https://eturnip.com/posts/720/ Owen McManus After writing a few new stories, I have to edit them.

Since I played Kung-Fu Master, I know what Thomas, the kung-fu master would do. He would punch and kick his way through a lot of unknown guys. Way more than several. It’s a full regiment of unknown guys. Way more guys than would ever fit in the Devil’s Temple. A KUNG-FU MASTER, THOMAS AND SILVIA WERE SUDDENLY ATTACKE... 7172026-08-03T00:00:00+00:00 2026-08-03T00:00:00+00:00 https://eturnip.com/posts/717/ Owen McManus It’s a holiday for us here today.
