67,000+ words. I don't know how much of the novel is going to be left after I cut out what remains of the previous draft, but I know for a fact that the new, refined story stuff is going to make it exceed 70,000 words. I think I can finish this book this year. Fingers crossed.

Speaking of Teslas, those cars are already ugly as shit, but why do they also have an option to be colored like shit. What kind of delusional mfer willingly buys a matte, shit-brown Model X?

Earlier this year I saw a Cybertruck drive through my town on two different days. The other day, I saw a Rivian driving down that same road. I really hope it's the same person, because it would be so damn funny.

Google just told me I could chat with Gemini inside Chrome itself so I went into the settings and immediately removed the shortcut to chat with Gemini.

Immediately broke my promise because I saw someone say that the presidential limo weighs 10 tons and I had to ask how much it weighs if the president isn't riding in it.

I've learned that not everyone wants to hear my stupid opinion. So instead of using the Discover feed as window shopping to deposit my textual fecal matter, I've just been using it to find new people and people I knew from twixter.

I've just realized the whole "Mina's very presence is enough to slowly bring life to the Wastes" is not only irrelevant with the new lore, it's actually just a bad storytelling device entirely. I'm going to have to cut it out, or replace it. Fortunately, I also wrote a lot of new stuff.

Wuthering Waves's raytracing being limited to the 4000 cards is such a scam. I found an ini and a db tweak on reddit that enables it on anything, even my 2080 Super. Runs fine pretty much anywhere with Balanced DLSS, except in Raguuna where it struggles to exceed 45 fps. 3000 series would crush it.

.....uh oh Y'all I got past two chapters before I reached another one that needs to be rewritten. There's just something fundamentally off about Mina's time at the blood tribe and I'm not sure what it is.

I actually hate the "lol the giant asteroid will deliver us from this suffering" jokes. Are there any other people in the progressive movement who think that humans are actually fucking amazing?

Sorry to all the artists who replied to that one post but I'm also an artist struggling to reestablish themselves on this platform so I will not be commissioning any of you for the foreseeable future.

Finally reached the start of the second half of the story post-turning point. The revised lore is finding its place snugly within the existing narrative. I also came up with potential new and creative ways for Mina to utilize her unfinished magic ability.

Not to joke about a serious topic but I haven't watched a movie in theaters in almost a decade and honestly I don't even feel like I'm missing out.

Genshin is so weird because it's like here's peak fiction but it's buried under 300+ hours worth of pointless dialog boxes and frustrating game design. Shit's so far down it's no wonder that the further you get into the story, the more you learn about "The Abyss".

Can't wait to turn on Framegen in MH:Wilds just so I have something to blame when people find out I'm bad at Monster Hunter.

Just feels unfair that I have to wake up and witness man-made horrors beyond my comprehension daily.

AI bros: these programs have gotten so good at generating images that you can't even tell they're AI anymore. Me, who can still tell they're AI generated: 🤔

Just learned there are people on this site who don't like the Game Grumps so the idea of deactivating this account has already begun to creep into my subconscious.

Why is my Discover feed full of people talking about elves. Did something I say trigger it or are we all suddenly obsessed with elves? I mean they're pretty cool I guess.

Got past injecting the new chapters into the story and have now shifted gears back into editing mode before I get the inspiration to do it again. I'm going to have to cut out a LOT of stuff that's no longer applicable to the story, most of which was breaking the flow of the narrative anyway.

Just fyi if your account has 0-1 posts on it and you're in my replies with that "democracy is dead" bullshit: I know what you are and I'm blocking on sight.

I have to stop responding to people with large followings because it's actually kinda easy to get perceived on here and I really hate the attention lmao

I wish I could use my power to spot and recognize a minimized Honkai Star Rail avatar while doom scrolling for other, more useful things, like knowing when an assassin is about to ambush me, or making friends.

Everyone and their mother has been playing Marvel Rivals so I guess I am too.

I used to be a SpaceX fan and now I only watch Starship launches for the failures and not for the successes. Going to Mars on a trail of blood is pretty fitting for the planet named after the god of war but likes idk I'd rather we got there peacefully and not funded by the blood of innocents.

If you're mad and find yourself yelling that you want someone launched into the Sun, take a moment, calm yourself, and remember that it takes a lot less Delta v to launch them out of the Solar System instead. You can be mad, but that's no excuse to be inefficient with propellant.
