sean morley @seanmorl.com · 06/08/2026In future i probably will but at least one of these gives a little too much away that id like to keep a surprise while the show is still running. 110

sean morley @seanmorl.com · 27/07/2026this year i think people are finally going to realise what a major cultural schism the uk north-south divide is. for example, in the south people call late game elemental magic things like "firaga" but up here we just say "fire 3". 0195
