1h ago54:46

54:46

The Second Citadel has stood, tall and proud, in the Northern Wilds for centuries. It is the bastion of humanity in the region, a settlement carved out from an unforgiving land. No matter what happens, you must remember this: there are people who call it home, people who love it, people who have never known anything but it. Welcome to the Penumbra,…

28d ago18:48

18:48

This week, Arkham and Foxy battle a 200-foot-tall cyborg with all lasers coming out of its eyes and that - it also has chainsaws for hands, and can create a sonic boom just by clearing its throat. That's not entirely true - but as this is the Internet, it appears that one can say pretty much anything one damned well likes because nobody ever checks…

3d ago11:22

11:22

As the chaps wind up their dispassionate and forensic analysis of the 2024 Local Elections, a certain melancholy seems to have set in. Does it matter? What will the outcome be in the long-term? We've all enjoyed a malicious chortle - of that there is no doubt - and all the signs point to more to come; yet Foxy finds himself wondering if that's enou…

Poacher turns gamekeeper this week - it's a figure of speech, we assure you - as Foxy casts off years of antipathy towards those that presumed to know better than him (they didn't) to stand up for teachers. Arkham - who has wisely avoided pedagogues of all kinds - preserves a dignified silence on the matter. Lucky bastard.…

Out in the furthest reaches of the Milky Way float piles of things best left forgotten: trash, refuse, the runoff and leftovers of a society that wants too much and produces too much.

The chaps are definitely "on one" this week: is it the weather? Is it the tragicomedy of faux democracy? Did they get wound up by something on the television?
