About HyperTextHero

HyperTextHero is no hero, but plays one on the internet, flying between work and play to brighten the day.

This is a place for writing about flights between realities especially as experienced through computer simulations and video games where one can be a hero or fool without risk of getting hurt.

Fighting battles and wars in real worlds is tiring, and most often futile, and I wish everyone would use simulations and play to vent their fury instead.

Since we don’t, I try to understand things and to practice for a time I may need to help defend against humans, zombies, aliens, asteroids, viruses, and storms by writing and playing while talking on the internet.

When the moon is full and owls glide in the night I venture out for design and photography work. See the project brief if you want me to help you make or save money.

Contact me by writing an email to simon@hypertexthero.com.

I sometimes throw digital paint on walls at internet places like Twitch, YouTube, Ko-fi, HN, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, Instagram, and TikTok,, though most of the time I publish here at hypertexthero.com

If you enjoy my work come and laugh or cry at my stream on twitch.tv/hypertexthero, buy things at my shop, and help me brighten life with light from suns and lamps, zaps and bolts of magic, and firebally explosions.
