Not bad

I've been grinding Metal Slug 3 for a few days now on the Vita. Gorgeous game, but it's brutal. The final mission is simply too much, definitely sours the experience, this should have been more focused. Bombastic, but on repeat playthroughs you realize that the spectacle wasn't worth it.

I'm now learning that you can write sci-fi by doing whatever the fuck you write anyway, just add a spaceship or two

Seeing AI generated commercials is one thing, but having to suffer through one on the big screen before the movie is just another level of nausea

Keeping an E.Y.E. on this

Friendly reminder that QA testers are not to blame for video game disasters, they are not in charge of allocating time & budget to fix issues they are 100% aware of.

what the fuck

!MARKETING! menjetek ki erre a szarra, kérdezzétek meg valamelyik kiadómat, van-e még valamelyik könyvemből, vagy nem tudom

My illustrated editions of "The King in Yellow" and "The Great God Pan" are availabe in Italian! Via L'ippocampo Edizioni.

Update: Following yesterday's news that SAG-AFTRA had reached a tentative agreement with signatory companies such as Activision, EA, Disney, and Epic Games, the union has announced that the ongoing video game actor strike will end at Noon PT/3 p.m. ET. www.gameinformer.com/2025/06/11/v...

This lawsuit is brutal. One of the exhibits is the letter Universal sent to Midjourney, including a quote from a 2022 Forbes interview that I bet midjourney regrets

Submitted the story. You know what I did to celebrate? Wrote another one

Every time I write fantasy, I write with Whelan in mind.

Daughter: "I'm not going to watch Star Wars, it looks disgusting"

As for reading, Gene Wolfe's The Fifth Head of Cerberus - a twist on Le Guin's early works, in the first story I notice hints of Proust, the second is more awkward. Not an easy read, hope it will be worth it.

So we built a pig balloon and a Rubik's Cube in Minecraft

Fantastic news

I am absolutely delighted to announce that I have finished a sci-fi story. I hope I didn't butcher it, because editing was a bloodbath. It's ~50 characters under the upper limit for a publication. It's still long, almost 6000 words, a real rollercoaster... but I just can't come up with a title.
