[Mr. Game & Watch]

Hey all! I know I've been rather quiet around here as of late, but you know, last month was November so I've been busy working on novels and such. I started doing journal entries as writing exercises, and I soon set upon myself to make a rather lengthy, but comprehensive history of this site. I thought since so many people might not be aware of the site's early days or how the site came to be the way it is today, it would make for an interesting read for those who are curious to know. Major warning though, it is a long read. I'm talking roughly 14,000 words, so if you have an afternoon to kill and you think you can tolerate my rambling, I will leave a link to the journal below.

Currently, the journal only covers the first five years of the site since I'm most knowledgeable of those times (in fact, I'm one of few fossils around that know anything about what took place before 2014).

SSB: Life Itself Year 1-3
SSB: Life Itself Year 4-5

If you would like to read one of my journal entries that involves SSB: Life Itself and isn't 14,000 words long, I also made a journal entry about how I got started with roleplaying right here: Adventures in Roleplaying: The Beginning

That's all I got for now, but I'm thinking about covering Year 6-7 . If there's any interest in that, I'll be sure to notify you guys. If not, I'll just go back to writing this stuff in private, no biggie.

Alright, less knowledgeable years time. These ones will be delving more into combat mechanics than the last one, Year Six especially since a lot of new combat mechanics were made during that time. I'm thinking of doing Year Eight since it would cover a bit more about Absolution, but that also nearly brings us to modern day (and if I do Year Nine then I can go full meta and write about writing this stuff).

Somewhat related, I wrote an in depth retrospective on Shade, a character I used to play around here.
