04/01/24: April Fools yet again

Hope you all enjoyed this year's little gag. While the style and casino rebranding were obviously a joke, the roulette mechanics were very much not! R/S/E roulette really does involve Taillow and Shroomish cheating for you if you have them in your party and an elaborate chaotic decision tree determining that rolls are more consistent if you have Taillow and Shroomish with you and play in the morning. I have been dying to show you all this madness for over a year now of intermittently working on this article and the simulations in between having to do other things, and truthfully there are still a few more things I want to do for the simulator, so you may see a couple more updates to the article.

I've now reverted the style back to normal and added a writeup about this year's joke to the April Fools' Day joke archive, with a lot of rambling about the 4+-year history of my analysis of R/S/E roulette. Thanks once again to Quiara for prompting all this, and to all of you for your patience!

Welcome to THE CASINO OF DRAGONFLIES. After a couple of years of growing pathological obsession with the game of roulette, and the many e-mails I have received with offers to make me rich if only I would add links to the top casino games to my Pokémon website, I have finally faced the depths of my addiction and embraced the site's destiny.

01/31/24: Groundhog Dave

I've put up another new Morphic AU extra that's been a long time coming, Groundhog Dave, featuring Dave in a time loop on the day of chapter 13 of the fic. Please mind the content warnings on this one, since it's heavier than usual; it includes strong and demeaning language, gun violence, character death, suicide and suicidal ideation, and existential horror. It also spoils the ending of Morphic, and will probably not make too much sense without having read the main fic.
