About HyperTextHero

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 practice for a time I may need to help defend Earth from humans, zombies, aliens, asteroids or viruses by writing and playing while talking on the internet, and my goal is to contribute to a world where kindness, relationships, and skills are valued more than status, careers, and money.

Once in a while, when the moon is full and owls glide in the night, I venture out for freelance graphic design work for selected clients. See some past projects on my portfolio.

If you enjoy my work please consider subscribing to my channel at twitch.tv/hypertexthero. This helps me continue making things I hope brighten life with light from suns and lamps, zaps and bolts of magic, and firebally explosions.
