Welp.. been hunting down a couple books for some time now 'cause they've been out of print. The other day was chatting with my father and got the random thought of checking it out. Sure enough I found them (and they're on the recent tab, so it was a recent event) and ordered them. Just in time too, 'cause just now I checked the publisher for an update on my order and the website had a big, red flag saying all orders past today will only be expedited after mid january!

The books in question are Vermis and Vermis 2 by the artist Plastiboo. For those of you who don't know, Vermis is a manual for a game that never existed, in a very macabre, dark-fantasy style art-style reminiscent of old adventure games. I find the whole concept fascinating and the world building Plastiboo did, very eerie and creepy. That's was my treat to myself. Check out images of it and you'll see Plastiboo's very iconic art style.

On a side note and given all the AI shenanigans going on, kinda make me want to do more traditional stuff (tho Plastiboo's is digital mind you). Makes me wanna dedicate more to SFW stuff too, what I love the most about stuff like this is exactly my problem in my storytelling, that I feel the need to justify or explain everything, when not only I do not have to, I really shouldn't. Mystery is the best spice after all.

That's all for the Lastik, stay cheeky y'all.
