You're here for one of two reasons; firstly, maybe because you are having issues with this part of my site, which is almost definitely due to having an outdated browser.

<guru>"Hm, well... Video games, movies, music, television, the basic four answers everyone gives. He does have an almost unhealthy relationship with television. He enjoys both performing and //ingesting// comedy. Those pens that have four colors in them? He loves those. He has an unsettling interest in animation, and occasionally he'll play d20 games. He enjoys game design, and he sincerely appreciates that someone both ''actually'' asked this question and read the answer."</guru>
<player>//"Aww."//</player>
<guru>"Yes, $name, his heart is //warmed.// So, any other questions?"</guru>

<guru>"That is... an //odd// question to ask, but an easy one to answer! Spiders, grocery stores, dying, the dark if he just saw a horror movie, and not achieving what he deems to be 'success.' To be clear, the grocery store thing, that wasn't a joke. They really bug him out."</guru>
<player>"That's a bit off-putting to hear. Who the hell gets nervous in grocery stores?"</player>
<guru>"No, no! It's disarming, if anything. It's humanizing! ''That's'' how you interpret the answer to that question, okay, $name? ''I'm the Guru.'' ''//Trust me on this.//'' Regardless, is there anything else you would like to know?"</guru>

<guru>"Yes, yes, as we all know, hyperlinks are a common part of speech. Anyways, you also could just email him at</guru> <special>dillcoyne@gmail.com</special><guru>, that's all that his //'Contact'// displays, anyways. What else would you like to know?"</guru>

<player>"Why is //this// happening at all? I just wanted to know a little bit about Dillon, and it's all taken a very strange turn..."</player>
<guru>"It is simple, $name. This is the result of a bad idea he had at 1 AM. It was made using [[Twine,->https://twinery.org]] [[SugarCube2,->http://www.motoslave.net/sugarcube/2/]] HTML/CSS, and a //dash// of simple JS. He thought this would add some personality to his website."</guru>
