Paypal and Payoneer no longer work in my country, so I can't get money from Ko-fi, Gumroad, Buymeacoffe and ComicAd (the ad banners here).
The only tip jar I have left is Boosty. It accepts Paypal, all cards, any currency, then it converts it into rubles and sends to me. Boosty works the same way as Patreon + accepts one-time donations like Ko-fi and allows selling ebooks.

With human life getting longer and longer thanks to E.L.I.E. the game of power became more complicated as well and couldn’t be completed just in a single human lifespan anymore. Because death no longer was the end of everything, it became a routine reboot, a change of body, a minor loss worthy of several years a person spent to get over a new brain.

This is the world the little boy has to learn to survive in and the board games he is playing with his father now is just a first step.

A game that has no ending already exists in our world. It's called Monopoly.

Such a great way to show the difference in mindset between the Atlanteans and well, the readers! There’s a song that uses poker as a metaphor for life (and death) but “knowing when to fold ‘em” would be an alien idea to body-thieves, yeah?

The games people play always reflect their lives, so I thoght that talking about games here would be a good idea.
