I really need to update my Carrd with the new books and refurbs, so it's time for a book listing thread for the new pin!
Note that most of my stuff is on Amazon (because no fees in the self-pub), most of them should have ebook and print copies, AND I'll include some relevant warnings for each. :3

In the dark of an abandoned building, a young cat seeking answers meets a figure wearing RCGs. But all is not what it should be.

Korps: The Shieldfox Saga
Hi, and welcome to my little section of the Korps continuity! I had written a very basic intro story a few years ago but left it for a long time for many reasons, mostly to do with having so much work...

Lomby loves the gains he has made at the gym (especially the back squats) and the softer bod. More squats means more food later. 😋

Fuck you, why are you ascribing more philosophy and ethics to why a machine should be allowed to function than to actual real people whom this thing is devastating through stolen effort and valor.
It can't think. It cannot create something new. It can only regurgitate what exists in its system.

Woke up early because of a fucking stress-dream, so that justifies putting another HeroForge liondad onto the pile, no?

Every time I see a "german shepherd" fursona that has light underbelly, black muzzle and ears, but no saddle.. I just chuckle with the knowledge that they know shepherds so little they can't tell the difference between a gshep and a malinois.

So productivity is down, jobs are being yanked for a machine that isn't accurate, making mistakes that any human would be accosted and fired for... and yet there's a *possibility* of it being TRUE?
Every day we learn new things about how it's a problem, how is that hype in any way justified?

I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

The number of times a math teacher—usually well-intentioned!—told me that I would Need This As An Adult…
Do you know how many times in life I’ve actually had to find a cosine? Or how little the quadratic equation has figured into my existence?

Those who weren’t resigned to the Math Idiot Garbage Bin as kids may not grasp how much “if you’re bad at math, you’ll die in a ditch and all will be better off for it” sentiment was floating around in the 90s and 2000s, but it sure felt real to me.

The book club scam has taken an exciting new leap forward. I got one today from a "curated literary platform and newsletter" that, unusually, offered a link to its website. I'm in edits, so obviously I took the opportunity to procrastinate. /1

Our Assistant Manager position is cursed.
In 4 years of working at this store we've had five, and now have to look for a sixth because the most recent just quit.

OK, did some testing of things last night and, while not exactly a 1-to-1, this is a pretty damn good translation of a coaster for me! Original from RCT1/2 on the left, translated to Planet Coaster on the right; a little fiddly but I basically saved the design to upgrade for modern gen! :3

...first of all, it's a coyote now but I was a wolf when I first got into the fandom 15 years ago. SECOND, the twist is that it's a relatively-benign coyote. :3

...ohhhhh I might be in the middle of a burnout phase.
Probably because I did 285,000 words in total between March and November of last year (original version --> rework of "Adventures"). Which is honestly kind of fast for me(?) and definitely more than my "normal" for one project.
