STOP ⛔️ This is a WIP checkpoint
QRT with your current WIP

my next novel's manuscript is almost done :-)
i have grown completely infatuated with writing these characters, so here's a diversion they went on, in-between important places

We pass by a few hatches in the ground that have the Vasthi word for 'FLOODED' on them, and more than a few possible exits out of the spillway seem to have collapsed, or been sealed after-the-fact to keep out water. Doesn't rain here anymore but the sea is close enough to cause problems.
Eventually the way to proceed gets a little convoluted. The train tunnels take an unwelcome bend westward, so we try to cut through an exit that heads upward on a bit of scaffolding, but the heavy metal door is both locked and sealed behind with concrete. We backtrack to find another door of the same make with a sign in Vasthi, and Rhodes gets us in with a more complicated lockpicking attempt, something with two metal bits and a while of tinkering. Swears under her breath some, but we get through.
On the other end is a pretty striking place, odd and dark and not altogether easy to understand. "This was outside at one point, I bet," Rhodes says.
"Shit, maybe." The ceiling is held up only in part, and only in places—concrete bulging downward from the weight of a city atop it, with pillars from what was once an overhang above a train station holding it up. More like a cavern than a tunnel, and then hewn out in places manually by people trying to make more passageways. More signs than we've seen yet, none in Colonial Common. Modern electric lanterns held in by cheap wrought iron pitons, with long power cords going into the distance one way and another.
"Okay, getting somewhere," Rhodes says, now. She stands with her hands on her hips and leans forward to read the intricate details. Not quite a map but closer than we've had. "Corundum Town gets mentioned here. Plus some other shit. There's... ah, ah... a way down to Little Hegemony, but it's kilometers and kilometers off."
I shake my head. "Don't need that. Just need someone native to trade with."
"Yeah. Someone dug a tunnel to Varre Trading Post. Or, uh, I guess it's just Varre... Post. There's probably people there."
Makes me g…

Nintendo's deal is copying Disney. It's why they tell stories about how Zelda was inspired by Miyamoto exploring caves as a child instead of just copying Tower of Druaga, for instance. It's why they refuse to talk about other studios. They want to lock you in from childhood and create disney adults.

Anyways I visited the Nintendo museum last year- seeing its history in perspective made me realize games are more of a means to an end for them - IP development in the hopes of becoming a Disney. They had some artistic streaks in 80s-00s but I think it's mostly gone now in favor of growing more

The PS2 truly is the best console ever because it is constantly becoming more powerful. Each time we say something "looks like a PS2 game" we're talking about a game of a higher fidelity than the last. What the PS2 is capable of in 2025 is so far beyond what it was capable of in 2003. That's amazing

insight into her methods #flowersteel

A woman sitting one leg over the other in a chair, looking to someone off-panel. She has lipstick, eyeliner, and her hair is swooshed over one eye. Her visible eye have cross marks on it and are bright red. She's wearing leather gloves and a button up with a skirt and long nylon socks on with boots. Dialogue for her says "A nation is simply too big for someone to die for. Unless you instill a deep sense of patriotism, it's a hollow ideal. Especially since this colony remains so hellish for the ones we conscript. A nation is too big. But a friend? A family member? A lover? Those are easier to die for."

"I felt my ankle starting to go."

And then...it didn't.

Inside a new technology sweeping the NBA, known as a "seatbelt for the ankle" - could it solve the most common injury in sports, and perhaps even make a dent in other major injuries?

For @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/better...

A High-Tech Ankle Guard Is Helping NBA Players Stay in the Game

BetterGuards has teamed up with the NBA Training Association to outfit players with its adaptive ankle brace. The pro ballers are avoiding serious injury while evaluating the stabilizing design.

Doom RPG (2005) was a turn and grid-based RPG by Fountainhead Entertainment and id Software for mobile phones. Something horrible has happened on Mars and the UAC is sending you to fix whatever it is. Rip, tear, talk to NPCs, find keys, and level up until it is done! (a flip-phone demon thread)
