Apollo come back

That one Apollo's phrase about getting drinks.

My Traveler got a new helmet but it's in question bc of its brightness. I like -null- on their robotic level too, but they're not triangular

I added these pics only on twt but I want them here too. Babygirl

And I found out that there's an Interceptor ship library with almost 3k variants (bc I got despaired to search for the ideal ship) and there were no completely black ships of the type that I wanted. Maybe I would look for black-green then. I like how they transform. In my play I've found only 2 ships of that bulky type, maybe they're rarer. Thinking if it might be less maneuver and there might be more crashing into things, but I already crash fully into things, wouldn't make a lot of difference.

With organic ships it's sadder bc I didn't see any white-black-purple in the list, and I've found the two like this in my systems, and the two of them were without wings that I wanted them to have. Also, one pretty trans ship in my list. I wish that you could recolor these types of ships. But at the same time, it could lower a special feeling of finding that one exact perfect ship (also, after reloading for finding it the game changed some creatures, like balloons to the stars. So idk even if to keep trying the reloading).

I still get a feeling that something might be in the waters waiting for me. Somehow was surviving the discomfort in the stormy nighttime wave rodeo in the ocean bc of fishing. I FELL OFF THE FISHING STATION. Idk how I feel uncomfortable towards these deep waters and still go into them with interest.

It seems that insect limbs are unobtainable after how many times I was fighting with brood queens. It will be sad if it is, bc I couldn't find where to get them now. Maybe, at least, I would get robotic parts with Autophage quest. Or they're vaulted too. I get it, special time events. But this always saddened me when I was finding out abt the game too late and the things were forever locked for the players like me

Apollo

I get very confused with their arms and Steam screenshots get pixelized noticeably for some reason (it doesn't give too much trouble just that I don't like this very rough look over edges and details when in the game it looks okay). It's always harder for me to draw robotic things with perfect geometrical forms than biological ones

RE: smg4 Mr Puzzles

TL:DR I do not want to cancel the show, I don't want it to cancel me.

So I have been forced, basically, to make this statement as I am being asked about this character or 'introduced' to it (and the incoming new show) against my desires. I have deleted all previous posts about my encounters with this problem long ago for personal reasons that will be apparent, but people don't know about my situation and do deserve an explanation. I will keep this post short for my own mental health. This is the first time I have disclosed any of this information to the public, and it is hopefully the last. My silence has been a part of my uncomfortable situation, but it's clear the world won't let me try to just ignore it any longer, so it's full disclosure time.

1, Yes. I know about Mr Puzzles and his uncanny resemblance to RGB, my character from the on going comic The Property of Hate, who pre-exists Mr Puzzles by approximately ten years.

I did not, as a consequence, base RGB off Mr Puzzles...

2, I have received very violent and manipulative hate mail from fans of that character over the past few years due to this similarity, many threatening to slander me via cancel culture to discredit my own creations. The worst of these messages almost caused me to commit suicide which close friends can attest to (this period coincided with the death of my father which they used against me to full effect).

Since then the hatemail has been less frequent, but continues, and I am afraid it will pick up again with the advent of this new show.

3, I have contacted the smg4 management about these issues, to no avail. My first email was a request to tell their followers to cease sending me hatemail, which they did not attempt in any way. They have never responded to the large overlaps in terms of RGB's design, and when I finally sent them an email via a lawyer as a last resort (which cost me £4000) they did not respond. Please note that I did not ask for a cease and desist, I only wanted the hatemail to stop, and perhaps for them to alter Mr Puzzle's design very slightly to be a little less like RGB's. I even made this simple suggestion as an example:

Despite going out of my way (against the lawyer's wishes) to phrase the letter in a none-hostile manner, and offer them an alternative, they did not reply to this email at all.

I am a disabled indie cartoonist; I do not have the money to take further legal action, and in any case I do not want to. I hate conflict, and the emotional toll of sending that email alone was enough to make me miserable and exhausted for months. All I want is to be left alone, and for people to know that RGB was invented first. I cannot afford to do anything to protect myself or make anyone listen legally; this post is the most I can do, and it is the only post I intend to make about it.

that's it. that's the whole situation. please do not message me about the show, or the character, as both are very distressing to me: if you do I will either delete the message, or block you, depending on the angle. I have blocked all related tags, and I will unfollow if I see posts, so I am doing everything I can to take care of myself in a non-aggressive fashion. I have only made this statement so that people understand.

a small example of some of the hatemail (which was preserved only to be sent to the makers as evidence which, again, they did not respond to) below the readmore. read at your own discretion, it is unpleasant.

thank you for taking the time to read this.
