In loving Memory of Yu-Gi-Oh! Creator Kazuki Takahashi

A story by Necrolicious on .

I’m incredibly sad to learn the news of Kazuki Takahashi’s death. Yu-Gi-Oh! was a huge inspiration for Gothest & there’s a lot of references to it throughout the game. While there are many other games that it drew influence from, it’s arguable that Gothest might never have come to exist if not for Yu-Gi-Oh! since it’s what first inspired me to start coming up with my own card games back when I was an 11 year old kid too poor to be able to afford real Duel Monsters cards. I never dreamed that I’d end up on a level where we could collaborate or anything, but it would have been cool to at least meet him & tell him how much he inspired me some day, but now that can never happen…
Still, his legacy lives on! His contributions to card games, anime & manga will continue forever, & he will always be remembered as one of the greats!

I’ve Minted My Website on the Polygon Blockchain

A story by Necrolicious on .

That’s right, an NFT of my entire website now exists (but it’s not for sale)!
I first bridged it from the Etheruem blockchain to the Polygon blockchain so I wouldn’t have to worry about paying gas fees. Now I can update it as often as I want so you can view all the same memes that you would find on Necrolicious.com on Necrolicious.crypto (just be sure you’re using Brave or Opera browsers for native support or install the Unstoppable Domains extension for Chrome/Mozilla). I plan to update it nightly around midnight.
