Last updated: probably never. Effective: the moment you loaded this page, which is already in the past, making this retroactive, which feels a little unfair but here we are.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By reading this website, you agree to these Terms of Service. By not reading this website, you also agree to these Terms of Service. Existence in a universe where this website exists constitutes agreement.
If you disagree with any part of these terms, please close the tab, take a walk, and reconsider your relationship with disagreement.
2. What This Website Is
This is a personal blog. It is one man’s attempt to think out loud on the internet. It contains posts about RimWorld, manga, video games, food, cypherpunk philosophy, and whatever else seemed important at the time. There is no overarching thesis. The author is a work in progress.
There are no ads. There is no tracking. There is no algorithm deciding what you see next. You are, for perhaps the first time today, completely in control of your own experience. Take a moment. Breathe. It’s okay.
3. What This Website Is Not
This website is not:
- A platform
- A brand
- A content vertical
- A growth-hacking opportunity
- Your data
- Optimized for engagement
- Responsible for your opinions after reading it
4. Intellectual Property
Everything here was written by Gus. You are welcome to read it, share it, quote it, print it, or tattoo it on your body. You may not claim you wrote it, sell it, or feed it to an AI to make money. Feeding it to an AI to learn something is fine — that’s basically just reading with extra steps.
5. User Conduct
There are no users. There is no login. There are no comments. If you are somehow conducting yourself on this website, I am genuinely impressed and would like to know how you’re doing it.
6. Disclaimer of Warranties
This website is provided “as is,” which is the most honest thing a website can say about itself. No warranties are made, express or implied, including but not limited to: warranties of fitness for a particular purpose, warranties that the author knows what he’s talking about, or warranties that any given post will have a satisfying conclusion.
The author is not a doctor, lawyer, financial advisor, licensed theologian, certified RimWorld expert, or your father — though he has opinions that might make you feel like he is one of those things.
7. Limitation of Liability
In no event shall the author be liable for:
- Colony wipes resulting from following RimWorld advice
- Arguments started by forwarding a post to a family member
- The time you spent reading this TOS
8. Privacy
This website does not collect your data. It does not know who you are. It does not care who you are in the Silicon Valley sense — it cares who you are in the human being sense, which is to say it hopes you’re doing alright.
If you email Gus, he will have your email address. He will use it to reply to you. That’s it.
9. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of Louisiana, the state of Texas (where the server probably is), common sense, and — in cases of conflict — whichever of those feels most reasonable at the time.
Any disputes shall be settled by a reasonable conversation, failing which, prayer.
10. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be updated at any time without notice, at the author’s sole discretion, probably never.
11. Contact
If you have concerns about these Terms of Service, please ask yourself: why? Then, if you still have concerns, you can reach Gus at gus@gusguidry.com. He will read it.
Thank you for reading the Terms of Service. You are statistically unusual.
