Salutations, Reader.
This Infanteer has endured much wear and tear from decades of Cyber Battle and will be submitted to the CCC. (Combat-Casualty-Care) You would think that writing and drawing imaginary futuristic war stories is a relatively safe occupation. The last 3 years (1155 days) have been burdened with severe Discopathy (Degenerative-Disc-Disease) or, more colloquially, a neck hernia. Something that has plagued my personal and professional life these past 15 years has now reached its inevitable nadir. This past year was exponentially debilitating; I stopped doing carpentry in 2021, but lately I can’t even hold a pencil. Reaching this Low-Point means I must choose the Surgical-Option, as conservative methods have failed to return me to the drawing-board. If you wish to see me back in Operational-Status, become an Army-Buddy in the Mega-War against Demon-Scum: JOIN THE INFANTRY!
OPERATIONAL-STATUS WO1 BABY-ANGEL: NOT-AVAILABLE TILL 2025?
As I write this, no date has been set for the Surgery as of yet. Even so, following cautious estimates, the Operation will be no sooner than September, and I guess most likely in October. Adding another six to eight weeks of recovery, I’d be glad to have Christmas or New-Year without radiating pain or discomfort. *View link below to see animation of INSERT-DISC procedure.
This Is Where The Narration Turns To; See you on the other side?
Seriously hope this is the last entry of the Covid-Dairies? All I wanna do is draw Comics & Cards! Yet, as explained, I am prevented from doing so by a collapsed disc in my neck and in need of surgery. Post-Op I hope to return to The Mission and continue without further disruption of health and concentration due to pain. Either way, this is where it definitely becomes Do or Die!
In short, this is an Out of Office Notice: See you out on the Battle Grid in 2025!

The above design is a redrawn and vectorized version of the StarArena Beta Battle Box made twenty one years ago. If you think about it, the Nerve-Entrapment has been a blessing in disguise, certainly well concealed and/or camouflaged, and excruciatingly painful! Nevertheless, each time a Big Attack takes place, StarArena® receives a Steroid Injection of sorts when I am in recovery.
Some of the most Memorable Moments in Hell were… 2009~2010: I got back into drawing and refreshed the StarArena® Project, successively creating new or updated Game-Boards, Modems, and Miniatures! 2021~2022: The most antagonizing visit to the Infernal-Regions yet, nonetheless brought us this Encyclopedic-Website and made me finish the Story-Design.
Come 2024, I am too tired to combat another attack, and the Cervical Radiculopathy reaches its most debilitating state. I don’t even attempt to draw anymore so as not to agitate my cervical region and avoid any possible anguish. Even so, as one makes an effort to retain some feeling of usefulness, a project is started with Unicool Games.
