Philosopher by training, poet by talent, programmer analyst by profession. Father. I used to make TTRPG and board games. These days, I mainly fight MDD. I do not belong to any political tribe. I designed a few games including Thorgal CCG.

Someone asked me for the Armor Games intro I made back in 2008 and it made me curious if @ArmorGames still uses this... YES THEY DO! Anyway here it is in 4K (or whatever socials compress it to)

He fails to see I can post about this & support my Jewish friends at same time. I lived over there. This book was written well after I'd left but well before Oct 7th - it shows the pattern & proves they're a pack of psychosexually disordered, sadistic exterminationist racists, among other things.
