When I started this blog, I had a very simple philosophy in mind: rather than pushing for frequent updates, I would concentrate on posting only a consistently high quality<\/em> of work. My vision was that someone who paged through my catalog of posts would only see a string of detailed posts about my best work, with no blatant filler to skip over. That guiding philosophy is why I average only one blog post per month– I only produce<\/em> one nice thing every month, on average, so that’s how often I have something to write about.<\/p>\n

Some months, however, I find myself not having been as productive as usual, and thus I have nothing to write about when the vague monthly post deadline comes up. Occasionally I can dredge up an older unpublished project to fill the gap– and I actually do have a really fun one from about 14 months ago that I never got around to– however, this month I’m just not feeling it. Due to personal life events and global tragedies alike, my reserves of creativity are running fairly low at the moment. But rather than let the month simply slip by with no post, I’m going to make a one-time exception and go against my core philosophy.<\/p>\n

That’s right, folks: it’s time for Spud to post some absolute garbage. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

My roleplaying group recently decided to end our very-long-running Pathfinder campaign (Reign of Winter path review: funny early on, but writing is erratic between books, and eventually it just gets boring)<\/em> and reboot with a new campaign in 5th Edition D&D. However, complicated life schedules have led to an annoyingly long gap between the end of the last campaign and the first sit-down to roll out the new one.<\/p>\n

This delay was intolerable to me, so I decided to punish my unreliable associates by bombarding them with terrible<\/em> MS Paint spam on our closed Facebook group until they get their lives together and schedule a meet. No matter how much they scream and plead for a reprieve, the barrage of horrendous line art will not end until I get my way.<\/p>\n

Behold, now, the Potato’s implements of torture, accompanied by the anguished screams each one elicited from my victims.<\/p>\n
