No, you're right. BOF2 is the one with the eye ball. Just excellent less-is-more design philosophy.

Hi. I hope you enjoy it.

The early comics were rough, but it's a lot of fun to work with even though I have developed a lot as an artist under my real name. Chrono and FF6 were the best, but the opening scene from Bof2 still gives me chills for how effective it is with one sprite, some good music, and some text.

Unfortunately, I don't know much about Mike other than I've heard his name in a few socialist discussions. I don't think it's embarrassing to be a veteran. I'm definitely not an oorahing, flag waving knucklehead. It's the only time that I've had socialized medicine and other benefits. I want those for everyone now :)

I found it interesting that people are filming a bright, glowing thing seemingly intentionally designed to be visible at night and think, "SPY drone."

I can change my photo, but it's a pen name. I've been using this profile for 20+ years but I'll follow suit with the instances best practices. Thanks.

I'll share two things without doxxing myself too much (this is a pen name):

An IG told me I was an "asshole threatening national security" for being a whistleblower for the Fat Leonard scandal. Look it up, I'm one of the whistleblowers referenced in the "Discounting whistleblower warnings" in the Wikipedia article

For something specific other than the simmering Christian nationalism in the higher ranks was a case I investigated where two people who sexually assaulted someone had the whole thing swept under the rug by the commanders because they held operationally critical certifications.

It's not a moral institution. There are moral people in it , but the leadership rewards and selects a certain type of sociopath

Doing an #introduction post! 👋

A friend on Bluesky recommended this place; they really missed the easiest layup ever. I'm probably going to lurk here to figure out how best to interact with it, but it seems fun so far.

I'm a writer and artist. Unapologetically bi in a committed throuple. Mostly into fiction, music, and retro games.

I'm a veteran, but nothing has convinced me that the root cause of many of America's problems are white supremacy than having to work with senior military officers.

I wrote two complete (and one in-progress) sprite comics all set in the same universe that are story-driven, epic fantasies rather than comedy-driven stories.

If you enjoy the SNES RPGs from the Golden Age of Square Enix, then I think you will like my stories. (www.fortunasaga.com)
