There is this one smaller unknown book in Picard's quarters in season 4 of #StarTrekTNG that is evading me. Here it is seen in "Qpid"↖️, "Suddenly Human"↗️ and "Devil's Due"⬇️. It is not one of his Shakespeare books but I have no clue what it is, the one illustration seen also isn't helping...

Do you own the original Fire Emblem on GBA? How much did it cost and where did you buy it? Some answers will appear in the magazine.

Contemplating buying job lots of consoles for repair, modding and resale. I have the tools I'd need already.

Still looking for someone, haven't found a single person so far (that I can contact). I have a 46-episode script that I need translated. This would be a paid job!

Sena Bryer @senabryer.com · 11d

Completely unrelated to my 2am doomposting but does anyone know an English to Japanese translator, ideally with experience in screenplays?

Childhood phone numbers are really useful for when you need multi-digit security numbers for things. My dyscalculia means I can't usually remember numbers, but I can 'hear' my Dad say our old house phone number, so I use that for things.

Newgrounds has a very helpful guide for detecting AI audio over at www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-in... for anyone interested in catching AI-generated music. Don't rely on any service that uses AI for detection, that's just using slop to find slop and you'll get false positives/missed catches.

And apparently I am also anemic.

The doctor also wants me to go for a chest x-ray to rule out other potential issues. Yay.

Can today stop shitting on me from a great height, please?

@littlerecordgirl.bsky.social @sayem.zone After the past couple of weeks and losing my job I am doubting my entire ability to string sentences together.
Please let me know if you come across any positions I can apply for

Found out that Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads, if you need another reason to quit using it.

Hey @timeextension.com do you need a writer?

Nightblaze, the Phantom Thief @blazingskies.bsky.social · 1d

Does anyone need a gaming/tech journalist?
If I was any cop whatsoever at video editing I'd be considering starting a youtube channel out of desperation. The game/tech journalism space is not in a good way.

So much for things going well. CEO of the company I started work for the other week just fired me. He was harsh and critical from the start towards me.
So I'm looking for a job again

Last I checked the UK Passport didn't permit non-binary designations anyway, because the Gov doesn't think we exist.

Hey does anyone have any recs for books or articles on what the cops could be replaced with? Not 100% sure where to start

I'm a *tech journalist* and I take a fucking notepad to events for note-taking. It is much lighter than a laptop, for one thing.

Nightblaze, the Phantom Thief @blazingskies.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, I get you. That makes sense. Thanks for indulging my questions :)

Interesting. The first two Diablo games, for instance, had horror elements and used an isometric design, along with procedural level generation so you had no idea what direction was correct.
However, the characters power neutered the horror. Is powerlessness a vital aspect?

Thank you, hun. Yeah, I think you are right.

The immediacy of first-person is why Horror works so well in VR. I'm of the opinion that Fatal Frame/Project Zero would slay in VR, for instance.
