Weather permitting, every 2 weeks I plan on hitting the range to woodshed my precision shooting skills. This Saturday was no different, but I was on the fence about going. It was cold (high of 45 degrees with a feels-like in the low 30s). It was windy (17 MPH cross winds with 27 MPH gusts). ...

Yesterday was a banner day. I got my new Bushnell Match Pro 6-24×50 scope and mounted it a couple days before; No cheap “Sniper” brand scope for this guy anymore. I tossed it (with the Bushnell sunshade and scope caps) on the rifle with a set of Arken Halo Precision Md (1.26″) rings, and ended ...

This post, like others that will follow it, is a continuation of my Gambling On Life series. So, it finally happened: I decided to visit a rheumatologist and find out what is wrong with my body. The first visit was a whirlwind: Paperwork, discussion on symptoms & past treatments, examination of my joints, 7 vials ...

It’s no secret that I am a fan of precision shooting. I run a gaming news site that focuses on (among other genres) sniper games. Local folks whom showed any sort of interest have no doubt listened to me wax on about my youth, trying to calculate DOPE (Data On Previous Engagements, used to figure ...

I’ve been involved in the game industry in one way or another for a long time. I got my start as a modder; I did level design, texture design, music as well as some coding, even flirting briefly with a small gaming studio startup. I also wrote in the gaming industry for a bit before ...

2 new releases are finally available for everybody, instead of just for Patreon subscribers (you did check out my Patreon, right?). Get them both at Pain Propaganda here. Suffer My Love is the remastering of the old, old tune by the same name, and is available on numerous platforms for you to enjoy. My Survivor ...

One of my passions as an artist is to embrace all the “happy little accidents”: The seemingly random accidents that end up creating something uniquely attractive. Every piece of mine has these, whether we’re talking about my modern AI-influenced works or my ancient pieces from so many years ago that they have been lost (like ...

If you’re an artist, geek, or someone who frequents the internet at some point every day, you’ve probably heard about AI artwork. I myself have written about AI art.. A bit. As AI art becomes more evolved and common, artists will need to distinguish themselves so they stand out awash a sea of visually interesting ...

So, with the launch of Pain Propaganda, I finally have a little time to “breathe”. Of course, taking that time is a bit of a challenge when you’re a workaholic. I’ve got little fixes to make to the site. I’ve got to get ([RE]DIS)INTEGRATED sent off to distributors. I’ve got to get serious about my ...
