Writer, artist (on occasion), and Penguins fan. I make horrible things happen to imaginary people. Pro Oxford comma. Pro em dash.
I've been writing seriously since 2007, but only feel like I got a handle on things within the last few years. He/Him.

Intro time? I'm a writer, mostly of space operas, but I do a lot of genre hopping/genre mixing. Sometimes I dabble in epic fantasy, sword & sorcery, and horror.
I went to school for computer animation in the late '90s, but it'd be charitable to even call it a hobby at this point. #writingcommunity

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes.
Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

I've reduced the price (temporarily) of Bis Rose (for a Black Friday sale across online vendors). But because I'm brain-dead, I've done it now so I don't forget for both Amazon and Itch.

Using AI to churn out a book no more makes someone a writer than working on the Hostess production line, pulling a lever to wrap up a Twinkie, makes that person a baker.

If memory serves, with Garrett Rank officiating, this is five consecutive periods where the Penguins opponent "comitted no penalties" during the course of play. What a joke.

Were there some Rick Astley fans in the original Sega 'Sonic Team' back in the day? I was expecting to hear the Sonic the Hedgehog stage clear theme at the end of this. 🌀💨

Game publisher execs are about two more fads away from putting all their faith in literal magic beans.
They went all-in on services, all-in on NFTs, all-in on AI. Every time they’re convinced they’ve invested in a divine cure-all.
They believe in magic the way a child might. Except kids learn.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.
OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.
A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

I haven't had any in years. It's not a surprise, really. The way my town is setup where I'm at just isn't as easy to walk to. But I'm struggling to think of the last time I didn't end up eating all the candy myself.

Can't draw it up any better than that. Not a great decision by the computer's defense to chase me into the corner on a 2-on-1, though.
