Hi everyone, this is Gladiatore.

Over the last few months I’ve been mostly absent. Unfortunately, I’ve been diagnosed with a serious illness, and I’m currently on medication to slow it down and manage it. It hasn’t been an easy time, and gaming naturally took a back seat. But I’m trying to get back on my feet, step by step, and start playing and hanging out with you again.

I’d also like to apologize for using this space for something that isn’t directly related to games, but this means a lot to me.
I turned the real story of a young worker into a comic: she was exploited at work, sent home with no protection and without being properly paid. The comic is my way of giving her a voice and trying to help her in a concrete way: 100% of what is collected goes directly to her, to help with rent, bills, and to let her live with a bit more peace of mind.

I know this is a gaming forum, and I completely understand if someone doesn’t feel like getting involved. But if you feel like reading her story, sharing it, or even just giving some feedback, that alone will already mean a lot to both of us.

Thank you for your time, for your hospitality, and for all the support you’ve given me over the years as Gladiatore. I hope I can be back playing with you like before, very soon.
If you’re curious and would like to read the comic or support her, you can find it here:

Thank you again to all of you, and sorry if I’ve used this forum to talk about my comic.
I really appreciate your time and understanding.
