Has thought. Writes 3000 words that have no place to be. Sigh. I love a good first chapter, but the rate at which I write first chapters of books that will never be is upsetting.

I could write a paper on HBOs "Warrior"
I'll try to keep it brief. I'll fail.
I'm embarrassed it took me so long to watch it. I was excited from the moment I heard it was going to be made, Bruce Lee's ideas for what became "Kung-fu," only starring actual Chinese people.

I was just editing and thinking about my favorite words. Cacophonous. Lithe. I can't describe loud or slithery seductive without them. I SHOULD, mind you... but I refuse.
This story I'm working on I think has all of them.

My first concert was #weirdAl in the mid to late nineties with @jenn-homer.bsky.social and Mark Brewer… wild to me to be sitting here for them #BiggerAndWeirder tour with my boy (his first concert)… also the only time I’ve seen the same artist in concert twice…

Things that will make me hate your game #64
I've said this one before I expect... when you make me run or navigate from the spawn or save point for two or three minutes to get to the challenging fight that I will almost certainly have to do a few times.
Today its the Jotunheim Gate in AC: Valhala

Playing #Fallout 4 and having something of an existential crisis... I accidentally triggered branches of the BOS storyline TWICE thinking I'd be able to abort or back out... and now I have a situation where those psychopaths are shooting up the Railroad... (continued)

I know Doom fairly well... and I see a path here, I don't know if the #MCU is going to take it... but it is absolutely reasonable...
#DoctorDoom in the new #Avengers IS #TonyStark, but he has no real idea of that... The real... or "responsible" doom in question is a proper Victor Von Doom...

Installed #JediFallenOrder for at least the third time, because I'm unsure if I finished it. I know for a fact this is the reason I installed it last time as well. I don't recall the outcome of this experience... but my gut says once I had it installed I realized I had.

I finished up season one of Fallout. I'll admit the thing I wanted most of all, Clancy Brown showing up for 5 seconds to say "war never changes" didn't happen. It probably would have killed me as the awesome cherry on top... But still, it would have been perfection.

I'm ALMOST jealous of the people watching #Fallout who have no idea of the lore...
I'm PERPETUALLY grinning... even when horrible shit is happening... there is SO MUCH LORE in every scene it is distracting a tiny bit from the story...

Akira Toriyama died a week ago and I heard nothing about it.
It is a sad thing. He was an influence on my art, possibly the single greatest influence on my art, years before I knew his name.
His character designs in Dragon Warrior absolutely became the foundation for all of my characters.

I was going to go with @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com or Clive Barker... though they I don't know that they would would change it as much as improve it, given that I'm the writer I am because of them...
But then I thought of Poe rewriting basically ANY of my stories as a poem, and I'm 100% there.

An open world game set in my fictional city of Santa Cerena. You could get murdered by vampires, or wolves, or angels... or you could join the Bloodied Feather Clan... or let Leo the cab driver take you all around the city telling you all about his two thousand years of wandering... so many options.

A game studio wants to turn one of your works into a video game. Which book and which game genre?

#HorrorWritersChat question 5: Someone wants to make a musical of one of your horror works. Come up with some song titles!
Just from the Madness storyline, which would make a great musical probably...
Screaming Trees
Crazy, Ancient, Pretty, and Dead
Eat My Apples
A Taste Of Mother's Madness

@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com I am, just now, listening to the #Sandman audio play... on Audible (I know, I should be ashamed).
Having consumed all versions of it at this point, I can say the Audible version of 24 Hours is by far the most terrifying. Letting all that loose in our heads? Brilliance.
