Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted a new comic. Things have been rough. Back in June, Patreon was bugging me about verifying my identity because I had my account setup as NSFW because of the occasional elements in my comic, like the BDSM community and rare bit of nudity. Honestly, this comic is not really that bad overall in terms of that type of content, and I didn't want to go through a huge hassle with Patreon, so I deleted my account with them. I tried to find alternatives, but nothing I found really let's me have the freedom to do this comic the way I want to, so I'm not sure how I'm going to monetize it now. When I realized that, it made me pretty depressed and lost a lot of motivation to keep going. However, last night, I had the inspiration, motivation, and energy to work on a comic, so I did.

This comic references the previous one, which if you don't remember ended with the internet being cruel to Kat after she posted a risque selfie of herself. Steve got a notification about her post and saw what had happened. Presumably, he's going to reach out to her and find some support, but this is Steve we're talking about, and he's not exactly good at that sort of thing. I've been thinking about Steve lately, and I wanted to use this arc as kind of a rework of his character. His role in this comic was meant to highlight a particular type of gamer who I now realize is pretty toxic, and I'd like to steer him away from that arctype to be more the kind of character I'd like to see in this comic. He'll still be my go to for breaking the 4th wall and giving meta commentary on my comic, but we'll see a softer, less toxic Steve in the future.

I noticed that the picture for the link to Top Web Comics is finally displaying properly again. Please vote for me.

I renewed my hosting for another year, not knowing if I was coming back to working on this comic or not, and it was pretty pricey. As I said earlier, I'm not sure how to monetize it now, which means I'm stuck with the bill of maintaining this place on my own. If you have any ideas for me, feel free to comment on this page or reach out to me on social media. Things are pretty uncertain these days, and I don't know how long I will still be employed in my day job, so trying to make a living as an artist might be the only way to survive.
