ADP lives….yet again…well, technically it never died.
THE RIGHT NOW Let’s just ignore the fact I haven’t posted in quite a bit (or that I started this project 13+ years ago). To be fair, I have…
Blake Stone gets a glow up (PART 3)

Shh…just sneaking in a post
Took a self-imposed hiatus on personal hobbies (reading, modding, gaming, drawing, etc) until about fall of 2019. Real life is just very demanding right now and will let up…
