Welcome, what's your poison stranger? Yeah, I think we might have some of that back here, let me pour you one.

You can call me Eddie, or Mashy if you like. I'm the proprietor of this finest of bars. I'm a PhD Candidate in Philosophy with a passion for table top games, media and art in all its many forms, and I live in Michigan with my fiance and our three cats, dog, and jumping spider. I have also in recent years grown exhausted with the direction in which modern consumer tech is going--rather than developing, it seems to be degenerating rapidly, in both quality and function. Coming to this realization has motivated me to begin removing my dependence on smart phones, social media, and addictive websites designed to keep me scrolling endlessly, e.g. tik tok or youtube shorts. Much more recently, I discovered this quiet movement of creators here on the indie web, and immediately have fallen in love (shoutout to the youtuber onionboots or onio.club for bringing this to my attention, as it seems he did for a whole wave of people). So, I will be slowly and steadily building this website to both share things I like, to store useful information for my ttrpgs I run, and whatever else I feel like. It will never be perfect, but it will be mine.

Oh, I see you finished your drink, shall I pour you another, or will you be wanting to settle up your tab?
