So as of Saturday, I had a like...just giant wave of fatigue, felt like shit, was super feverish going from overheated to shivering cold all the time, and my tonsils were swollen and throat sore.

Sunday and Monday I started feeling better, and by Tuesday I was all but ready to get back to work....until 7 where all of the sudden I came down with like....a super fast-acting ear infection? Is that a thing? Because I’m literally deaf in one ear right now, it’s clogged with liquid and I can’t hear (save for like...tinnitus ringing). I feel like shit and i’m going to the doctor this afternoon.

I’ve literally never been this sick, this often or with this weird of symptoms before.

x.x I’m sick y’all.

Hey there gang, so as you all know I spend a lot of my spare time developing and producing tabletop games - my second one, Larger Than Life, is due out in June, check it out here on https://www.facebook.com/fossilpunkfoundry/

My next game, however, is in development and based around mecha - giant robots. I’ve got a ton of concept art already but i REALLY want to do blueprints of the mech designs.....and that’s where I’m running short. Does anybody know an artist who specializes in doing cool, realistic blueprints and schematics?

Alright slowly catching up!

 Wyomzrow About 25% now
 werewolffinder Done!
 nikaro Still On hold pending payment
 copperroach waiting for payment but I'm excited to be writing for ya again!

Tits or no tits?

Should Lucidum have breasts. I'll be honest I really love the breast-less look I've been going with lately but there's a lot more options for YCHs and stuff with traditional tits on my 'sona - and I still dig the look of Lucidum with breasts.

So what do my watchers think? If I rework Lucidum's whole narrative story (it's still in the works!) I can make either version work.

Alright! Sorry things got so rough last week - work has been wiping me out.

 Wyomzrow 35% will DEFINITELY be done this week, so sorry about the delays!

 copperroach 50% done. Should be ready to go tomorrow or Friday

I’ll be honest I miss doing Lucidum with breasts....and pregnancy with no breasts looks kinda off. Who’s in favor of lucidum with breasts making a comeback?

Ugh I’m finally home *flops over dead* ...

I’ve been at my folks’ house for the holidays, hence my absence on here - their internet is the worst, especially when there are five other people in the house using up bandwidth. I was gone from the 20th to the 31st, and then it took me 2 days by bus to get back home up here in Spokane. I’m beat.

Anyway, resting up today and recovering from all that. Then it’s on to bigger and better things in 2019! Such bigger things include:

- More furry porn!
- Finding a job so I can afford more furry porn!
- Getting my tabletop game Sauriana off the ground (more)
- Getting my second game, Larger Than Life, up and running (already dropping hints for it over on https://www.facebook.com/fossilpunkfoundry/ )
- Opening for writing commissions again
- Starting to draw again (it’s been forever, I haven’t seriously drawn anything since I was back over on furaffinity.net/user/comah )

So here’s an interesting little question for y’all....what do my characters sound like?

It’s always so easy to imagine how a character LOOKS, but what does their voice sound like?

Okay, so as some people on here know, I recently tried (again) to launch my tabletop wargame Sauriana on Kickstarter and failed.

Now I’m coming up with a new plan, and I think this time it will be viable.

For the moment, I’m reworking the game into a pen-and-paper RPG, with some help from my awesome friend  lemuel, who does his own RPG called FAPP which is super fun. While my Sauriana game won’t be furry related (well...maybe furry-adjecent :P you CAN splice your DNA with dinosaur genetics and stuff) or pornographic, RPGs all share some common elements when it comes to character creation, performing actions, etc and I think he can be a big help.

So that takes care of the game angle, that’ll probably take me a few months to write. As for the miniatures - getting those funded, I’ll be using Indiegogo instead - since they aren’t “all or nothing” funding like Kickstarter, I can basically start producing and selling models the moment they get funded, and keep going from there.

I’ll have more updates soon here after the new year, so stay tuned!

I’m through with being a victim to my own misfortune.

I didn’t get the job here in Spokane, I didn’t get my kickstarter funded. But y’know what? I’m not going to China. Fuck running away out of the convenience for a quick buck. I’m going to tough things out. Things will get better in the new year.

*Sigh* .....so it doesn’t look like Sauriana is going to be funded. The Kickstarter is at 47% with 9 days to go and almost zero momentum.

So the questions must be asked, what now?

I’m at a point where I’m damn near out of money - I’ve just got enough to maybe get me to China if i still have to take this job (also waiting on two more jobs that will keep me in the states - just awaiting their final word). I think my kickstarter failed this time because, once again, I simply don’t have the money or resources to compete with larger companies who use Kickstarter - “crowdfunding” has become something of a joke given that larger competitors like Mantic Games (who rivals Games Workshop, the biggest wargaming company there is in size and funding) use Kickstarter to jumpstart new projects. If you don’t have brand recognition or all the resources to pour into marketing and production PLUS developing your game, you can’t succeed.

So...that’s two tries now with Sauriana. I’ve invested almost $20,000 over four years into it with very little show. I just....don’t know what to do now.

So I gave you guys my initial impressions on the Fallout 76 beta last month. I’m not gonna address the many, many controversies surrounding this game since launch (like the Power Armor Edition thing), but i do want to say.....I’m done with this game.

I’ve been in love with the Fallout universe since Fallout 3, I played easily 200+ hours of that game and all of the DLC. Same goes for New Vegas and Fallout 4. I was excited for Fallout 76 because I love the world - so much so that I’ve got my OWN game in development with an Atompunk 1950s-60s setting (deliberately trying to NOT rip off Fallout’s world in my own, but the themes are similar). But after about 100 hours in Fallout 76...I’m through with it. Bethesda has done the community a huge disservice and I honestly don’t know if I’ll preorder the next Fallout game (or ANY Bethesda game such as The Elder Scrolls 6 or the upcoming Starfield) or even choose to play them unless the developer makes some serious fixes.

So what all is wrong with Fallout 76?

Half-Assed the Whole Way Through: Fallout 76 is a hollow shell of a game. I understand the re-use of assets from Fallout 4, in in some ways it’s not that egregious, but beyond designing a new overworld, it’s clear that Bethesda did the bare minimum necessary to add to their world - new creatures? Let’s just throw in some well-known cryptids from American folklore so we don’t have to actually justify or explain their existence in the game. New weapons? Uh....Gatling Plasma and maybe a new shotgun or something. New armor? One new mark of power armor and a scant few aesthetic outfits. It’s like they planned the game out, didn’t want to do any work, and were like “okay let’s just add like 5 new things in every category....that should satisfy people.”

Quest design? What’s that? Fallout 76’s quests are ALL fetch quests or “find the computer terminal with info” .....except there’s no point to them. You’re chasing ghosts the entire game. It was stated from the onset that the game has ZERO human NPCS, and barring a couple robot characters, pretty much zero NPCs of any kind - of course, while on the surface bethesda stated it’s so “every human you meet is another player” ....it’s pretty obvious that it’s far easier and cheaper to write computer text and notes, and record a few paltry holotape logs than it would’ve been to do character animations and facial expressions (hence the few NPCs being robots).

Artificial Padding: This one is the most egregious in my opinion. Survival elements make their return to Fallout, which on the surface isn’t bad, but then you begin to notice it.....hunger and thirst decrease at an absurdly fast rate, so you have to go out of your way to find or cook food and water. Weapons degrade and ammo is scarce, so you have to detour from your quests to get resources for ammo crafting and repairs. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE......you have a stash box and carry weight limited to a combined 600lbs~ (200ish on your person, 400 on stash box. They’re patching the Stash to 600 lbs, but STILL...), and when you’re collecting every nut, bolt, roll of duct tape and scrap of lead you can, that adds up FAST. It’s a shoot-and-loot game now, like Borderlands with one tenth of the charm and none of the technical prowess.....but you can’t STORE all that loot you find, so best pick one gun you love, a trusty melee weapon because you’re DEFINITELY going to run out of ammo or break your gun, and then hope for the best.

Glitches Galore: Last but not least, this is BY FAR the glitchiest game I’ve ever come across, and I played Superman 64. AI glitches so enemies just T-pose doing nothing. The game (i THINK) tries to compensate for your level, so occasionally you’ll wipe out a mob of low-level enemies only for a metric fuckload of higher level enemies to suddenly pop on your screen and aggro to you. Sometimes the physics engine fucks up so a Scorchbeast (big ass bat thing....which as it happens shares 99% of its code with the Dragons from Skyrim >.> literally) will just drop from the sky on top of you out of nowhere. It’s a mess.

So yeah....will I ever go back to combing the nuclear wastelands of Appalachia? Maybe someday when it’s been patched, updated, added to, improved, in like...a year. But right now, I’m done being burned by game devs who don’t care about the consumer.

So a little escapism really helps take the edge off, especially when you’re stressing about other stuff (like your last resort for work being going to China >.>). I’ve been playing the Fallout 76 beta this weekend and thought I’d share my thoughts so far - I used to review new games for the newspaper when I was in college, so thought I’d get a little games journalism in.

The Good:

Atmospheric storytelling is strong with this one, with the newly dead world of Appalachia (West Virginia) very haunting, lonely, and compelling. Since this is the earliest Fallout game chronologically, taking place in 2102 (only 25 years after the nuclear war in 2077), there’s this great sense that you, the character, just missed the party - no human NPCs are in the game, only corpses of those who survived - and it looks like Appalachia wasn’t directly hit by any nukes. It’s really disturbing, finding bodies of characters who might’ve died months or even days before you found them - and putting together the pieces of what happened is a very effective storytelling device.

Graphics have also been improved (modestly). It basically uses all of the assets from Fallout 4 but improves on them in almost every way.

A lot of the UI has been streamlined as well which is nice, and the crafting and survival aspects are great this time around.

The Bad:

The lack of human NPCs is a huge problem. Bethesda claims it’s because they want all human character the player encounters to be fellow vault dwellers, and to “avoid confusion” when encountering someone....but c’mon. NPCs and players always act differently in games, and with the name of characters and enemies displayed overhead there’s no way you’re going to confuse “OGKegster69broski” with an NPC with a story quest to assign you (or a raider for that matter, especially since they’ve grief-proofed the hell out of the game).

The real reason they’ve foregone human NPCs is pretty clear - it’s a lot quicker, dirtier, and cheaper to record dialog for holotapes and robots, and write a few found documents than it is to create compelling characters with dialog and facial animations.

There are a few technical hiccups as well but I don’t like to focus on those since this is a beta and also Bethesda we’re talking about.

The Ugly:
The story is pretty bland so far, completely forgettable and clearly just intended to usher players around Appalachia and introduce them to key gameplay beats. It reminds me a LOT of vanilla Destiny....which is a bad start. There’s always hope for improvement and I’m nowhere near done obviously, but after playing about 12 hours of the beta so far, I don’t expect the rest of the main quest or endgame are just gonna blow my mind.

Aaaaaaaand last but not least: the multiplayer aspect. Right off the bat today I was reminded why multiplayer sucks unless you have private servers with your friends. I was playing through the story, and another player came up to me with an open mic - I don’t have a headset, but his mic was broadcasting publicly. He walked up to my character and immediately I hear him and his friend chatting “yo dude there’s another player here, where’s the rape button I wanna rape her” ......followed soon by some conversation “yo should we give a beta key to Amir? Fuck that gay terrorist, hell nah dawg”

....seriously, fuck people. I know that’s not like...indicative of EVERY gamer, but one asshat like that gives all of us a bad name.


So yeah, great atmosphere, decent gameplay, bad story and shitty people ruining the best-left-solitary experience of Fallout.

....so anyway, as some of you might know i landed a job teaching English in China - to start probably around January next year.

Thing is, that’s like...my last ditch, completely-out-of-options option, and while it is kinda exciting, i’d really rather not do it lol.

I have a BS in English, I’ve worked for the last six years as a digital marketer, copywriter, SEO Specialist, etc and I’ve been more or less unemployed for the last ten months straight. I’m BARELY scraping by with a few freelance jobs on top of unemployment pay, and...I’m sick of it.

So like...if I don’t get a real, full-time job by January, I’m headed to China. I’d like to avoid that if possible though, so does anyone out there have any idea of where to look for full-time work? I’ve put in literally nearly a thousand applications in 2018 and have gotten maybe....10-20 interviews tops, none of which have panned out. I feel like I’ve been black listed from my career (possibly for real, my last employer was a dick).

I finally landed a new job: teaching English in China. Super exciting but I’m also a bit nervous ^^;; it’s definitely outside my comfort zone but I think it’s for the best, career-wise.

That said...anyone know anything about China outside of the stereotypes we learn here in the USA?

Is me.

I know I sort of “retired” that ‘sona not too long ago, but almost immediately I started to regret it. So my sharkself is back in my gallery, and while Lucidum may be my main character for my stories alongside Segh and Gulssk, Samantha Lutefisk is my fursona, my avatar, me.

Thought it’d be interesting to explain a bit more about my three main characters (only one of whom is really my ‘sona), with regards to their individual sexuality/gender/sex and the curses they deal with.


Lucidum

Gender: Male, MTF Transgender - although Lucidum was born male and identifies as such, his curse has him starting to question that, and he’s slowly coming around to the idea of wanting to be female.

Sex: Female (cursed body)

Sexuality: Straight/Lesbian - he’s attracted to women almost exclusively - but also sort of reluctantly bisexual, slowly coming around to enjoying that aspect of his new body as well.


Segh

Gender: Masculine, but not definitively male - he’s always him, regardless of current sex. He just kind of rolls with it.

Sex: Variable, his curse has him changing sex with each phase of the moon.

Sexuality: Pansexual - he’ll fuck anything and anyone, and deeply enjoys it.


Gulssk

Gender: Male and proud of it, deeply resentful of his female side.

Sex: Bilateral Gynandromorph - hermaphrodite condition literally split male/female down the middle of his body.

Sexuality: Straight - he identifies as a man, mates with women, and is only attracted to them....BUT...he’s extremely manipulative and deceptive, and will use his female side’s appeal if he needs to to achieve some goal.

Name: Gulssk

Species: Cottonmouth Naga

Age: Unknown, over 2 centuries old

Gender: Male
Sex: Bilateral Gynandromorph - Hermaphroditic condition, physically split male/female down the central line.

Length: 9 Meters
Weight: 1250 lbs

Title: Alförmødir - All-Father and Mother of Serpents


Gulssk was male, once - or he identified as such. Father of Serpents, as he was known, ruled the Great Swamplands of the East for nearly 100 years. The massive water moccasin was feared and respected throughout the region, yet he harbored a secret known only to himself and his long-deceased parents. Born bilaterally gynandromorphic - literally one half male, one half female, the serpent grew up a freak amongst his own kind, bitter and outcast. As he matured, he began to see himself not as cursed, but as blessed, chosen by Jormund - the Serpent God, his female side a challenge to be overcome to earn his patriarchal deity’s everlasting favor.

Rejecting his female side vehemently, Gulssk always identified and dressed as a man, binding his chest, wearing clothing that hid his wide hips and generous curves. His female half was albino, and his single red eye and soft features on that side drew attention from many within the swamplands. In Mireheart, the largest city of his homeland, Gulssk came across the Cult of the Cotton Mouth, Jormund-worshippers who saw his unusual coloration and hypnotic gaze as a mark of greatness. Gulssk was inducted into the cult and soon rose to power, becoming its Pontifex - a natural talent for deception, flattery, and edifying speeches (learned from decades of disguising himself as a man) serving him well. Those who gazed into his crimson eye saw visions of sacrifice and greatness….and those who tasted his intoxicating venom were easily wooed and manipulated - all it took was a drop in their wine or suckling upon Gulssk’s long fangs.

As the leader of his cult, he was expected to sire offspring - for Jormund demanded new serpent-kin be born regularly - and in this he was quite prolific. Though half-female, he made good use of his one functioning hemipene, breeding female serpents locked within his private chamber, ensuring they were never to be seen again - for once their eggs were lain, he would swallow them whole, consuming their bodies under the guise of a sacrficial ritual, though in truth so great was Gulssk’s hubris, so fearful was he of discovery, that such behavior was to ensure none could reveal his bi-gendered secret.

Gulssk built his power base over many long years, and it spread to every bayou and bog in the East. Each sect of the Cult of the Cotton Mouth was led by one of Gulssk’s offspring, all loyal to their “father” and god, but none rivaling his vanity - and none so cursed as he. Gulssk was large and in charge, and none questioned his mastery, his masculinity, nor his masquerade, even as he grew ever larger and more powerful by consuming other serpents encountered amongst the swamps.

On a single day thirty years ago, all of that changed. On a missionary expedition into the Nordfur territories, Gulssk encountered a Sheltopusik woman - a legless lizard race closely resembling the true serpents such as Gulssk himself. Gulssk seduced her, converted her, bred her, and consumed her, as was his wont. Unknown to the great serpent, however, Sheltopusiks were considered blessed, sacred beings amongst the Nordfur, messengers and envoys of the gods - specifically Lokai, the godess of trickery. Gulssk had committed the ultimate heresy, and Lokai was not pleased.

When Gulssk awoke the next day, his skin had become brittle and translucent - nothing out of the ordinary for a serpent needing to shed, and he was unconcerned. When that skin finally shed, however...he was no longer the man he had once been.

As the old skin sloughed from his body, Gulssk’s worst nightmare became a reality: he had become female, fully and truly. His albinistic, female half had fully taken over, his entire body curvaceous and womanly, his single breast replaced with two, his manhood gone. He screamed to the heavens, but they remained silent, for Lokai had already answered - this was her justice.

As Gulssk soon found out, his new body yearned, and hungered, and lusted for the touch of men, and the serpent, once-male himself, was repulsed by such thoughts...until he had his first taste.

Gulssk returned to his swampy home a changed man - literally. His newly albinistic tone he shrugged off, informing his conclave that it was a blessing from the god-serpent Jormund, that Gulssk had transcended his mortal flesh and become closer to the Serpent God. His female body, however, he took even greater pains to disguise, sheathing her slender new form in thick robes and shrouding hoods. And then the cravings began…and the next serpent summoned into his chambers was a male...

They mated, and true to his tradition, Gulssk consumed him whole. But when the skin shed, Gulssk found himself restored to masculinity, his scales a deep, brownish tone once more, his female half seemingly erased. This turn of fortune - however - was not Lokai’s doing. True to his blessed nature, Gulssk was favored by the serpent god Jormund, and just as war waged between deities in the heavens, so too did war rage within the bodies of their faithful. Gulssk was spared the brunt of his enemy’s curse, but at a price.

From then on, every time he ate one of his own, Gulssk slipped further into despair and madness. The monstrous serpent grew over such time, gorged upon his lesser kin, he became longer, larger, more fertile and feminine in his female body, fattened and well-endowed in his male body. He could restore himself to manhood, only to be expected to sire young for his god once more, and upon consuming the female - as was his cult’s custom - he would return to femininity, tortured by his own hunger and tradition.

When he was female, Jormund demanded he breed with men, and his lust rose tenfold, spurring the great serpent to impregnate herself, birthing more and more of her god’s chosen species. Locking himself in the depths of his conclave, Gulssk frequently withdrew to his bedchambers, amassing a harem of men to breed him in secret, pleasuring his female side in myriad ways. During thse times, the serpent even began to dress as a woman, donning silken garments and fine jewelry that accented her curves and coloration.

Gulssk timed the transitions from male to female and back again as well as he could, keeping himself in his natural gynandromorphic state as the curse shifted his form from man to woman over many moons after each male or female serpent he consumed. With patience and time he could control his body’s changes. But eventually, the ruse grew to be too much to maintain.

Resigned to his fate, Gulssk revealed his form before the conclave at the dawn of his one hundredth year as Pontifex. He shed his robes, revealing his form, a massive hermaphroditic serpent, half male, half female, split down the middle between man and woman, his partially-albinistic form having grown to tremendous proportions over his long life. Rather than recoil or gasp in surprise, the Cult of the Cotton Mouth embrassed him, a sibilant hiss of adulation rising in their ranks as they recognized Gulssk as an Avatar of Jormund, the God-Snake’s most blessed disciple, capable of breeding and being bred in the name of all serpentkind: Gulssk had become The Alformodir - the father and mother of snakes...whether he wanted the title or not.

To celebrate his ascension, Gulssk’s disciples swarmed the pulpit, forming a mating ball of over one hundred serpent-kind, with their Pontifex at its heart. Gulssk was caught offguard, bred by the males, breeding the females, skin shedding and changing sex dozens of times in rapid succession over three days as some fed themselves to him, slithering down his maw or into his womb, becoming one with their god incarnate, impregnating him, being impregnated by him, basking in the glow of a thousand beats of pleasure and prestige until they were spent. They say an entire generation of serpentkind was bred that day, and thousands of them claim Gulssk as their ancestor. Gulssk himself was distraught, but deeply satisfied in the afterglow of this orgiastic calamity.

So continuing my text-references for my characters, I thought I’d do one for Segh. He, Lucidum, and an upcoming third character are all parts of my narrative universe I’ve been developing and refining, and Segh will be sticking around for a long time to come! My shark ‘sona, Samantha Lutefisk, however, I’m retiring and also had nothing to do with this narrative universe.

Name: Segh Brackenhoof

Species: Rimedeer (Reindeer...just...y’know...don’t want to ALWAYS be associated with Christmas)

Age: 30

Height: 6’ 9”

Weight: 260 lbs

Title: King in the North

Monikers: Thrice-Cursed, Stag Queen, Doe King, Rime Goddess, Warlady of the North, Mother of Wolves, Avatar of Lokai

Segh was born to rule the North, the prince of a long lineage of Stag Kings lording over the Nordfur Realm. At war for years with  Kevastonemane of the Eastern Reaches, Segh crossed the wrong god - Lokai. As his Rangifer Legion ransacked the lion’s encampment, they destroyed a shrine to the trickster goddess. Similarly to a particular raven in the Southern lands, he was cursed for his insolence.

As was the goddess’ wont, Segh soon found that he transformed with each new phase of the moon. When the moon was Waxing, he remained male. When it Waned, so too did his masculinity, rendering him a fertile, maternal doe. At the New or Full moon, Segh found himself trapped between forms - neither fully man nor woman. Yet the young King found that he rather enjoyed his life in all three forms. His serfs and subjects cared not which form their King took, and Segh allowed himself to indulge in every pleasure and passion

Now, Segh lives a life of luxury as King, Queen, and everything in between. He has birthed a dozen heirs, and sired a dozen more, relishing his status and his life of luxury - so much so, in fact, that he now worships Lokai, and is blessed as the goddess’ avatar on this plane, powerful and fertile and virile and regal, The Doe King, the Stag Queen, the Rime Goddess and Mother of Wolves (the latter of which we do not speak of). Segh Brackenhoof rules the Nordfur Realm with a tender caress, and iron fist, and a full womb.
