Baby Gabs was so over the top and resourceful. Like, this is how she bums a ride to Xena's village in episode one. 😆 She's so wonderfully dramatic. I love her.

Simon lifted his shaking hand, pointing the switchblade at the man slowly backing away. “That man—He—The cabinet—” Simon stumbled over his words, unable to get a coherent sentence out.
Ebb’s gaze followed the pointed tip of the blade, but as she turned back to him, her brows only creased with worry as she slightly shook her head. “Simon, calm. There’s no one there,” she said, her voice meek as lowered his hand.
“What, no—He—” As Simon’s gaze snapped back to where the man had just stood, all he had been met with was an empty kitchen.
Simon is a down on his luck twenty year old, struggling to survive on the streets after he was thrown out of the orphanage with no higher education or a job to fall back on. So, when he stumbles onto an ad, promising a handyman job at the Pitch Manor, one that offers him not only money but also a place to stay, Simon takes it without a second thought. But as he begins his work for David Cadwallader, the owner of the estate, things quickly begin going sideways; the house is never quiet, groaning at night as if it is alive, lamps lighting up with no one around, and most unsettling of all, a ghostly figure that seems intent on scaring Simon into an early grave.
A massive massive thank you goes out to Pal, who created incredible art for the first chapter, as well as the cobb mods for putting this entire even together. Putting this together has been a pleasure :)
The "Servant Of The People" / "Kvartal 95" / Zelenskyy-Fandom reached a point that whenever something happens, we are like: "Wait...we have a video for that where they / he already talked about that / predicted this".
Did You Know that Halo: Reach introduced a new design pattern of Covenant assault carrier? Only briefly seen at the end of Long Night of Solace, they've since made a few sporadic appearances over the years, including in Halo Infinite!
The design was adopted by the fan-made Sins Of The Prophets (SotP) mod, who gave it the fanon name "Esgem". This is how it came to be featured in Halo Infinite; an image of the recreation made for SotP by Malcontent1692 was used in the skybox of the multiplayer map Highpower!
