People who only read nonfiction make me uncomfortable.

Happy #caturday

Imagine being the guy that makes Gavin Newsom look like a hero.

Yeah, this about sums it up.

I've been busy and I've got ADHD. So time, understandably, has gotten away from me. Happy Pride Month, and happy Men's Mental Health Awareness Month. I'll leave you with a quote from the late and always amazing bell hooks.

Love me some bell peppers.

Once again I will remind people. Regardless of the political complexities of this conflict, the moral question is a simple one. Genocide is wrong.

There was once this great local band from my hometown called the Burning of Rome. Their singer gave me their first album. It was fucking amazing.

LoTR is not a good comp title in 2025, no matter what you think.

Apparently this translation is super faithful to the original text. I'm hella excited, and I'll probably start tonight or tomorrow.

It's really strange to me how there's so many "fantasy fans" out there who swear up and down that the genre began with Tolkien, and hasn't changes one bit since.

The blockade of Silent Witness I, sadly, must wait. I've got a book to finish.

Got the render for Book 1 from my artist today. Holy shit, it looks amazing.

My buddy just released an interactive fiction on itch. Go check it out, it's as funny as it is dark. It's also free.

We creep relentless forward. Which means we are still on track to hit the deadline. Now all I have to do is not collapse into a ball of stress and panic.

Shame them back into their pathetic little holes.

While I'm on the general subject of "AI," let me just say that it's a real dickheaded maneuver to tell an actual artist that their work "looks like AI." Their work doesn't look like "AI" because they're aping what "AI" does; it looks like "AI" because the "AI" company fucking stole from them.

Don't pick fights with the scarfs. Don't pick fights with the scarfs. Don't pick fights with the scarfs. Don't pick fights with the scarfs. Don't pick fights with the scarfs. Don't pick fights with the scarfs. Don't pick fights with the scarfs. Don't pick fights with the scarfs.

Dope solo on this one. Give it a listen. youtu.be/65wzpsCRhWU

One of these days, I'm gonna fight the sun.

Let's make one thing absolutely fucking clear, ok? If what you call "labor-saving tools" are tools that OBJECTIVELY produce inferior results then they OBJECTIVELY CANNOT have a positive effect on productivity. Being productive does not mean just do shit quicker who cares if it makes sense.. JFC!

Somewhere in the back of my head a little voice is pounding on the table and gleefully chanting MAGA ANTIPOPE MAGA ANTIPOPE MAGA ANTIPOPE

Wrapped the planning for Book3 today. ~25k words to go, should have everything written by the end of the month. Sometime around August for Zon is likely, but I'm gonna shoot for July if I can swing it.

I'm gonna move to the mountains and take up astrophotography.

How tf do I sign up?

I have been binging this album HARD ever since it came out. Go listen. Do it now. bloodyvalkyria.bandcamp.com/album/in-our...

Early Act I in Clair Obscura. If you needed any evidence that gaming isn't dead, this is it.

Why is Invert Vertical not the default for every game out there? Same for fixed minimaps.

Apparently, romantasy is now conservative propaganda? I stg, the arbiters of "real literature" need to touch some fucking grass.

While intellectually I know full well that rivers always flow from high to low, I find rivers flowing from south to north deeply unsettling. This has been today's lesson in the tyranny of cartography.

So glad I was never really in to any of Neil Gaiman's stuff.
