Roses Under Glass: Chapter 2 is live now!
Twenty years ago, Prall Sabik killed the Empire. Now she's trapped in the world she helped create with the monsters that have sprouted up in its place.
Let's meet a few more of those monsters... bit.ly/4tCmN7f

Now for the absolute hardest part of any writing project: coming up with a title for this chapter...
Extremely good and hot "unknowable alien kaiju x DEEPLY autistic pilot" horror-almost-romance. Not that I've read a TON, but it's also definitely the hottest oviposition scene I've ever read!
If I have a "criticism," it's that Lark's characters are just so good I want MORE. Hoping for an epilogue!

November doesn't know what to do, but luckily for them, they're piloting an alien biomech that can make decisions for them.

Forgot to share the art @charlatanmonarch.bsky.social did of my Girl Frame pilot: Aurora the EXTREMELY skeevy Oldgen, currently piloting CONSUME.
Current identities include Old Dog Still Bites, Wild Abandon, Dangerous, and Predator. Tags include... some stuff I probably shouldn't post on Bluesky!

I try not to give too much oxygen to people and things I don't like very often, even just to dunk, but Jesus Christ if the name "Mewgenics" wasn't enough of a red flag for you this kinda shit is a shrieking klaxon from orbit, lmao: www.rockpapershotgun.com/edmund-mcmil...

Not ever pilot is destined for greatness. Some pilots don't even get the opportunity at any more than mediocrity. Unremarkable quickly becomes redundant.

Only 48 hours since I got glasses, so it may be too early to tell, but I am very cognizant that I've had some degree of headache every ~3 days for the past two years and so far I haven't had even a whiff since Monday.
Genuinely just kinda thought "oh everyone gets lots of headaches" the whole time.

Okay, I'm definitely not actually finishing final edits in time to publish today. Hopefully tomorrow.
HOWEVER... I am really cooking with this one rewrite in particular. Actually just giggling and rubbing my hands together like a madwoman between typing.

About halfway through second round edits on Roses Under Glass part two. Shooting to release it this Wednesday!
I can still vaguely remember when this was supposed to be a short little side story for funsies... Just looked up the release date for Chapter 1 and saw it was all the way back in OCTOBER.

wife keeps seeking reassurance for her over being a sadist and it's good to remind her that she has nothing to feel guilty for since being a sadist makes her better than me and gives her a divinely granted right to subjugate my will with hers

Me before getting glasses: "Hmm... I'm just not sure I actually need them. Maybe the optometrist made a mistake and my eyes are fine. Maybe I was making a big deal out of nothing."
Me after putting on glasses for the first time today: "Hahahahaha, Jesus Christ. What the fuck."

Okay well apparently I liked it enough to go back and work on beating Nioh 2.
They sniped my ass by offering a demon snake helmet for beating the demo boss within a certain window. I am such a sucker for both the snake thing AND ALSO beating my head against challenges within arbitrary limitations.😔

Nioh 3 is definitely interesting... Not sure if I'm jiving with the new open-world structure, but I can see the idea of taking the almost Metroid-like exploration elements from the previous two games and make it a much bigger focus (e.g. you explore, you get stronger in meaningful ways).

Another thing working in game dev has taught me: I need to scope creep MORE.
I've been a fixer and the Voice of Reason for coming on eight years now and it seems I've reached the point where my bosses need to tell me it's okay to think bigger and do weirder. Obviously that's not the case for most.

Grad student seeks career counseling and is told she should really just switch her research track to "practical sex work."
It's MUCH more lucrative and everyone agrees she'd be better at it anyway. In fact, they already changed it for her and informed the administration, so she can start right now~

Nothing has opened my eyes to the value of my own profession like working with a large team and seeing just how many people fucking HATE reading or writing so much as a Slack message.
People will record a 20-minute video of themselves explaining something rather than engage with two lines of text.

Fuck, I think I got over my post-burnout writer's block so hard that literally all I want to be doing now is writing.
