Purchasing my first Stellar Set item in Obsidian Knight RPG.

The buff percentage increases with each item of the Set you collect.

They say that the Stellar Set is best due to its Melee Dodge; however, when I look at the stats, the Delirium Set seems to have the same perks.

I went with the Stellar Set to be on the safe side.

Hello everyone,

My blog is back up.

I have had it scanned and reviewed by a WordPress security team and am assured that there are no issues. Going forward, I will be working with the same team to ensure that the site remains safe.

It may have been preemptive to take it down but I would rather that than to take any risks.

Somebody seems to want my site to disappear from Google rankings and that is the campaign being waged against me.

I truly appreciate your support and kind words.

Hello everybody,

I’ve been dealing with constant attacks on my blog since November 2025.

Recently those attacks have increased.

I do not house any private information on my blog besides email addresses of people who left comments and chose to enter an email.

A few weeks ago, in the face of constant attacks, I took the precaution of deleting all email addresses from the website to ensure if the worst happened, nobody’s email would be taken.

Yesterday, I saw an error on my site and I remain suspicious of it. For that reason, I have taken the precaution of turning off the site for now.

I write this message just in case something is wrong. I will not be sending out any emails so you shouldn’t expect any from me.

If you want to make quick work of all things Squid-World (including destroying shielded squid ships and taking down the odd Veracitor), try out my two favourite weapons: The AR-2 COYOTE and the S-11 SPEARGUN.

I recently shared how I was free-to-play and had a 97% Match 3 win rate.

Here is a detailed guide to for beating the Township Treasure Tree and Green Machine Events.

Township has two alternating multi-day Events: Treasure Tree & Green Machine. Both of them carry a significant T-Cash payload, should you reach the summit. Following on from the recent T-Cash Economy Shift, I thought I'd

Hello everyone, I’ve been pretty successful with Township’s Match-3 game, but it was a rough road to begin with.

I now have over 30k in T-Cash, a 97% win rate, and haven’t lost a level in a long time.

I created a guide and Youtube video to share my process; however, in simple terms, I created 2 key rules for beating this game (Match-3).

1. At the beginning of each level prioritise making space to work, and doing the best you can with your Boosters.
2. Know when NOT to play the Match-3 game (which is mainly when there aren’t any good Match-3 Events on).

You can read the full, detailed guide here: https://oldcynic.com/township-match-3-save-your-cash-beat-any-level

And the Youtube video (which shows rule 1. gameplay here) here: https://youtu.be/aE2QhoNo210?si=8I_a53r-9BcXTOEO

I don’t share these tips lightly because I know how difficult Township’s Match-3 game can be, and while they can’t make you win every level, I genuinely believe that these tips work.

I hope they help!
