Ok #Readers of #Booksky - I'm looking for a little assistance in publishing - everything is ready to go, but my bank says no. So I'm hoping to crowdfund this a little to reduce strain on my account.

Not wanting to loose a share of capital I'm doing it myself.

Cool, I guess?

Nobody cares, but I had a minidisk player for about a year or so. I transferred a bunch of my CD collection to MD... Maybe listened to a couple hundred hours of playback.

Then physical media died.

And only further undermines the VERY CORE concept of blockchain secured 'asset' value. Eroding public perception.

If you can just 'mint' whatever, whenever- that isn't it chum.

We can do that with the cash of the world. Don't bring that into 'secured' digital format if it isn't in any way secured!

Just saying: these pins exist. Some folk may care, some not 🤷

Do you have any positions open in say: Grimsby, UK. And are those positions "mooch about the house, play vidya and occasionally work on hobby games stuff"

If so, Where can I apply? I think I'd fit the role well.

In fact, let's skip the application and hit right to interviews-just DM me about this.

What was it? Tell, tell!

you made it sound cool, you can't leave us hanging...

Honestly, there are too many games that /demand/ time investment & without wanting to sound like a grumpy PITA- I just don't care.

Fallout 76 was horrible for SUCKING away my hours.
Those are my hours, I want them back.

I gave up '76 for that reason, and other games too. I avoid timesink games now

Looks better on you that it would on me.

If you are willing to shift on budget a little, I'd love to collab, I can raise £5 without much effort.

Am willing to shift to maybe a tenner if I can meet @erikaishii.bsky.social

Call me. This offer won't last long (I may need the fiver to buy a coffee...)

Me: "My eyes always ache after painting."😫

Also me: "Yes, I should add a little detail to the astromech or this X-Wing"

And now that I can see the 8x zoom, I'm annoyed that the left wing colour-chevron is a little wonky... That needs fixing.

An extreme close up of a tiny model based on the Sci-Fi spaceship X-Wing from Star Wars, painted in a military grey with blue squadron markings and the astromech of the vessel is dotted with red markings. Next to the model is an English one pence piece to show the relative scale of the model.

@authorstuartmiller.bsky.social I know from past experience that we don't see exactly eye-to-eye, but let me play devils advocate here: To say he had no 'reason' is a curious position. Luigi has put forward many reasons for his actions.

If you consider them valid or not is another matter.

I Wish I had the confidence to carry that message.

G+ was amazing - I LOVED the 'circles' feature so easy to find your people.

Then like anything Gurgle does- it got canned off.

Today has been 'a lot' I've done about 8 hours of editing work on my soon to be released book...

And my brain is so very exhausted.

Yet- I can't stop. I now have to do prep for my RP game tomorrow & get ready for a social thing on Sat & an RP I'm in this evening.

And more besides... 😵
