Patch Notes for the Real World: AG Update + Life Drop

Appalachian Guard remains active, Averian Landscaping is thriving, and Lost Souls is consuming what's left of our sanity. Meanwhile, Damiix is juggling college, chaos, and everything else.

A quick update from Damiix for all who follow our activities: Appalachian Guard remains fully active and committed to its purpose. The challenges are ever-present, but our dedication to what we do endures. I also want to give a massive shout-out to Psycho for her amazing and tireless work in both Appalachian Guard and Averian Landscaping – truly, we'd be lost without her.

However, even the most dedicated among us must occasionally adjust their priorities. As such, I need to announce a temporary shift in my personal commitments. Many of you are aware of my involvement in various other endeavors, such as "The Ministry" and other related activities. While important, these undertakings will now take a secondary position. My primary focus has shifted to the demanding, and frankly, somewhat soul-crushing pursuit of college studies. Yes, it seems even I am not immune to the call of higher education. It's a significant commitment, requiring considerable time and mental fortitude, and I confess, it's slowly draining what little free time I once possessed.

Fear not, for not all professional endeavors are being curtailed. Averian Landscaping remains fully operational. Should your property require professional attention, or if your yard seems to be experiencing an inexplicable surge in, shall we say, unusual growth, our services are still available. We can manage the unruly, clear the overgrown, and perhaps even offer advice on how to deter particularly stubborn garden pests (the two-legged kind included, on occasion).

Yet, where the true core of my current creative (and darkly humorous) efforts lies, is within the development of Lost Souls. This is where the majority of our current energy and focus is being directed. I'd like to extend a special thanks to Shea for his relentless, and often soul-crushing, work on the Lost Souls Development Team. We are investing significant effort into this project, and I anticipate that the forthcoming results will be both highly engaging and appropriately unsettling. Think of it as a significant new undertaking, but with more sarcasm and significantly less corporate jargon (usually). Oh, and a little nod to Mycelium for chatting about Lost Soul News and potentially stepping in as an editor along with Shea; every little bit helps keep the madness organized.

Thank you for your understanding as I navigate these new, equally complex paths. Appalachian Guard continues its important work, I am merely adding a few more textbooks to my personal collection, and Lost Souls is shaping up to be a truly... memorable experience.

May your days be free of unexpected audits,
Damiix
