Get in Nerevar, we rebuilding the 6th house.

Hello, it's me, your Red40 Penguin, Kernel.

I just got out of my marriage where we had a plan all worked out. Her income alone was enough to carry the household, and I had a job prior that didn't pay as much and required a lot of sacrifice on both of our parts. We came to a decision for me to leave this job due to her wanting to be closer to family, along with other factors. We were mid-execution of our plan to get closer to her home when I was blindsided by some not-so-great info regarding our relationship, what I thought it was, and what it was to her. Now we are separating. I am scrambling to find a stable income while also paying off debts my partner and I accrued over the course of our marriage, paying for attorney fees, closing costs, and general life expenses. In addition to this, I have been working on a passion project in my free time.

It's probably what has brought you here. Thank you all for the support on said project, it has been a pleasure to create and make you all laugh, while also expanding my skills and understanding of the tools and methods used to create video games and content online. It has given me a new perspective on the entire industry. I would love to create full-time eventually but until then I need to get things sorted.

To be completely honest, I have been against the idea of setting up one of these or a Patreon or anything like that for the project. For what I am making, the idea just doesn't sit right with me. Even now writing this I feel gross. So please, if you just stopped in to check this out and see what's up, that is more than enough. The project is going to be completely free to use for everyone, forever. I will NEVER paywall it. There will be no benefits to you donating. None. Zero. Even still, I hate that I am in a position where I feel the need to create this, but I have only myself to blame.

I am safe, I have a bed to sleep on, and I have begun my job hunt, but these things take time, and I have bills to pay during the interim. Please, I cannot stress enough, feel zero obligation to help. It was my poor decision-making that placed me in this position, and it arguably should fall all on me to get myself out. Also, there are people on this site who could use your help WAY more than me. Any support, financial or otherwise, is appreciated more than you can know. I'm not sure I would have been able to get as far as I have with this whole "Life" thing recently without the community. So truly, thank you from the bottom of my penguin heart.

I will be working on the project in my free time as always, working to make you all laugh, and to keep on smiling till I can get a "finished" version in your hands. That should be pretty soon! Looking forward to hearing about all your journeys in Skyrim with Dagoth. (P.S. I left a little Easter egg at the Throat of the World venting my frustrations with my relationship. It's a bit personal but if you took the time to read all this, I'm sure you'll want to check that out, you little gossip queen you.)
