It's a Month of Rain & Reads, and we do take a little time for reading ourselves, too.
Today, we have a review of The Drowned Heir, by @authorizedmusings.bsky.social, which is also a contender in the SFINCS novella competition.

All interest, vaporized
Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

The spooky season is gone, so it's time to return to regular 3d art. Today, I have a quick render from the time I was testing my new PC and the new graphic card's capabilities, and I just wanted to make something "quick and pretty."

I often wake up at 4-5 am. I enjoy that time as it's quiet and serene.
Until you have two neighbors loading their vehicle loudly, slamming doors, shouting to each other, and using a duck lure while most of the complex is still asleep.
I can't fathom how people could have gotten so inconsiderate.

Dear business, if I don’t recognize your number or it’s not local, to make me call you back, you better state a very clear reason why in the voicemail you’re leaving.
Otherwise I’ll assume you’re a spammer/scammer which you probably are anyway.

I have very ambitious creative plans for the last months of 2025 and for the whole 2026.
Realistically? There's no way I'll get all of that done. But I'll try anyway and if I complete half of my goals, I'll take it as a win.
