Dr Who meets Game of Thrones! Get lost down the wormhole, but know I cannot save you. Free on Kindle Unlimited. Available on paperback and ebook. amazon.com/The-Archives-of-E…

Proof copy arrived! What do we think? It’s a YA Scifi, post apocalyptic cult meets space opera.

I don’t mind that Crimson Desert is a ripoff of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom and other games. I liked those games, and the worst part of beating them was not being able to play them for the first time anymore. Now I do.

Okay who else is playing Crimson Desert?

So, my jam was Princess Bride. In high school band, we were on a bus and that was the only movie on a long bus ride. I was the only one that wanted to watch it and everyone else rolled their eyes. By the 3rd act, everyone was dialed in. A good movie is a good movie.

To the MMORPG player that just revived me: you are a saint & proof that we’re not just a bunch of trolls.

Stop everything and go listen to the Hanz Zimmer version of Pompeii. Happy Friday.

If we’re not supposed to pick our nose, why are fingers nose-sized?

Thought experiment: If spacetime is the “thing” you traverse when traveling thru space and time, what do you traverse while in the “hole” part of a wormhole? What would it even look like considering even light traverses spacetime and you need light to see?

One good thing that came from AI: Instead of being tempted to read clickbait articles just to get a swarm of adds, I now just ask ChatGPT what the article is about.

Remember that game when we were kids where we’d try to slap the backs of each other’s hands and fake each other out? That’s the parry/dodge system in Expedition 33.

Is it just me or is literally every video on TikTok a commercial now? I counted 11 videos before I got something that’s wasn’t an ad.

What are everyone’s plans this weekend? Productive or fun?

Someone needs to act out what it would look like IRL for Assassins Creed parkour, but with someone playing that’s awful at the game.

My first Assassins Creed game is Shadows and I’m loving it. Strange because I saw a lot of hate online, but am beginning to think it all came from that one YouTube guy that drinks slurpies all day. #GamingCommunity

While waiting for beta readers to finish In The Valley, I’ve been diving into Elden Ring. Currently stuck on Maliketh. He feels impossible, but that’s a familiar feeling in Elden Ring.

Mistborn was Brandon Sanderson’s 18th book. I had been really frustrated with selling my books and querying my manuscript before I heard him say that. I don’t know what my new strategy will be, but I have comfort knowing that success isn’t divined from on-high to those famous debut authors.

Toddler: Is it true that cat’s toothbrushes are their food? Me: Yes I think you’re right Toddler: Why don’t we do that? Me: I…I don’t know. Toddler: We should.

I see a lot of folks posting their successes in writing, which is great. Anyone else experience the opposite? Like a pit of despair? Anyone else? 🦗 🦗
