Joey contemplatively looked at himself in the mirror of the burger joint bathroom.
Oddly enough, the outfit Jessie had picked for him fit perfectly. The shoes were real leather and still needed to be walked in, but he knew that after that, they would be more comfortable than his current sneakers.
Black leather boots, black pants, pur...

There were some smart suggestions on how to work with this error, such as releasing chapters 109-114 at once, which I think is a really really reall...

2025-02-23 03:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostThe change that Patreon announced in November has now rolled out. There is no added benefit to subbing through apple store, you just pay 30% extra. That 30% doesn't go to a creator or Patreon, it just goes directly to apple.
This does not affect existing memberships, but be careful when resubbing.
2025-02-22 10:50:29 +0000 UTC View PostOf course, no matter how long The Last of Us was compared to the other scenarios they'd seen today, everything had to come to an end eventually.

2025-02-12 15:54:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe following day, Joey woke up bright and early. He yawned, stretched, cracked his jaw, and cursed Sabrina.
He'd ended up sleeping over on the couch in Oak's laboratory, which the man had been kind enough to give to him for the night.
However, rather than commiserating with Joey, the man had been, if anything, more amused by his pli...
2025-02-11 21:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostSo, its recently been pointed out to me that some of the tier 1 and tier 2 patrons are having a worse experience because they don't get notified of the fact that I unlock the chapters they have access to, and they don't get an email. As a Patron myself I know that sometimes its nice to just read the post in the gmail app too.

It was only a few minutes after they had finished the battle that Joey, Sabrina and Professor Oak were sitting at a simplistic square metal table in what looked to be the lounge room of the laboratory. 2025-01-29 03:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post
I'm fairly sure I posted this already, but I can't find it in the library. Anyway, you know the rundown, give me your POV ideas for the interlude. Just finished the Harry Evans one and now its Video Game Cultivator time. The idea collection will happen public, and the voting will happen private. Hit me.
Rattata chapter in two days.
AN: This is the shortest chapter we've ever had, which is why it came out so fast. Anyway, enjoy.
