Shadows of Aethro - Kalismor

Kalismor: The Stargate Incident

A Mayor’s Regret. A Colony’s Funeral. A Very Cool Portal. Things were looking up in Kalismor. Under the ever-busy eye of Mayor Paul, the colony had flourished on the lava-ridden wilds of the Forge World. Homes were built. Farms planted. Guards trained (sort of). People were happy-ish. But something was missing. So Paul, in all his restless brilliance, decided to build a Stargate. Or at least, something that looked like one. Using blackstone, obsidian, and a stubborn refusal to read the safety ma

Legal Survival Guide for Hosting Providers: How to Write a Real ToS & Privacy Policy (And Not Get Sued Into Oblivion)

🧾 SECTION 1: TERMS OF SERVICE (ToS) Your ToS is your legal fortress.

Patch Notes: Week 3!

🎉 Fatherhood Patch Notes – Week 3 🎉 This week we celebrate a major milestone: Dakota turned 7! From his wild sense of humor to his giant heart, he keeps us laughing, learning, and occasionally losing our minds (in the best way). We’re so proud of the kid he’s becoming, and grateful every day to be his dads. 💬 Personal Note: Even when he drives us nuts, Dakota’s kindness and love for others is something we treasure deeply. It’s a core feature we hope never fades. 🧡 Thanks for following along as w

Yes, I Said "Hiring" — No, You're Not Getting Paid (Yet)

Why My Minecraft Servers Are Still Alive While Yours Are Listed for $45 on ServerList Graveyard Let’s get one thing straight: I’m not just some dude renting a $5 Minecraft realm and playing CEO. Aethro is a registered business in California. This is a serious project, run with structure, sustainability, and a future in mind—not some throwaway Discord fantasy. I’ve been running game servers since I was 16. I’ve hosted Minecraft servers longer than some of you have known how to port forward. Thi

New "Body Type" Options in Games with Character Creation

For todays topic will be for the Gaymers! So I have notice on a lot of newer games, they have started to use a new "Body Type" option in character creation! I personally like this as now you don't have to pick a single gender. Starfield(Bethesda's Space Game) also has They/Them Pronouns to take it a step further. Now the question is will other games follow this same example? What do you think? Let me know.
