It's a semicolon and used to link two independent clauses in the same sentence. I use them a lot, but then maybe my writing is very idiosyncratic; I use em-dashes a lot too.

As indepedent and freelance writer and designer, yes. Haven't actually published in a few years but I'm planning a Kickstarter.

Other way around! The wargame came first, then I think the RPG and novels were concurrent. I've got some friends working on the new edition of the RPG, so I've got high hopes.

9 year old me is very with you on this.

I like pineapple on pizza, but I think that was covered already.

I'm far too lazy to go back looking for the moderator post about sharing opinions vs. discussion getting the thread too heated. Or was that the RP specific thread? They've started to blend together a bit in my memory.

Just got this weird whiff of smoke. And where there's smoke, there's fire. I don't know if it's an unpopular opinion around here, but personally I'm very anti-fire.

I was really angry around winter 2016 and Spider Jerusalem felt right. I'm just too lazy to change it right now.
