Haematinon@haematinon.bsky.social · 2mo agoI’m sure I’m not the only one looking at this memorable main menu with a bit of nostalgia.

Haematinon@haematinon.bsky.social · 2mo agoI am writing a series of short articles on my Patreon about the biggest gaming exploit I ever managed to pull off: I finally beat The City of the Dark Obelisk – Extended Edition!

A fellow patreon supporter commissioned me with my take of the classic Ancestral Recall, originally illustrated by the excellent Mark Poole. Since I am a pompous artist I wrote a long article about it.
Souls are born above the Sky of Jupiter; that much, they say, is sure and true. But what else do we see when we sail up there, save for our peaceful solitude?

Lithe-bodied God, if only I could see you one last time riding the crest of the waves in joy, before departing from the Land of my Blood. You might speak to me words of comfort, and remind me of my mother, and of the others gone betwixt the dolphins that roam the northern lakes.
