I've accepted that there's no way I can finish Ch29 in a way I'm fully happy with unless I do it from on my computer (so it's easier to move things around), which means I can't do it until I get back. This is giving me space to think about big pre-canon clone angst, however.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

I hate to say it, but I think I need to do a hardcore edit on this chapter and I probably need my computer to do that properly. (Moving text around on the app sucks.) But I won’t be at my computer again… Until next weekend…….. <— upset about not being able to update sooner

If you think you'll want to stop shaking Solis once the current problem is resolved, haha, well. He is a bug of many talents.

We're socialized to constantly apologize for being too outwardly excited about things, but this world is so full of terror and misery that I'd rather see those bursts of light and passion shine through the cracks wherever you can find them.

Also, if you're into clone problems (I am), there's more of that coming up, too.

I'll say it again: this gen AI plan is ludicrous and if they proceed, it will have immediate, catastrophic effects and hurt SE's reputation. If you work at SE and you're reading this, know I am 100 percent on your side and I will always defend your work from your bosses in public when you can't.

Because SE's QA people are probably not in a position to defend themselves and their jobs in public, I want to spell out some of what it is they specifically do for us localizers, because nothing I've written here is rhetorical. SE QA acts as a final check on our work after translation and editing.
You don't need me to tell you this is yet more good money being burned after bad. But as someone who's worked with that QA team, I'll say they're unsung heroes who truly play a huge role in maintaining SE's reputation for high quality locs and to attempt to replace them with AI is deeply insulting.
Square Enix wants 70% of its QA work to be handled by generative AI by the end of 2027, in partnership with the University of Tokyo's Matsuo-Iwasawa Laboratory. https://bit.ly/4qKdyQR

Hi, I’m Sunny. I’m a hobby OC artist making a story called No Graves, about inappropriate work relationships, an emotionally distant lesbian single father, and coping with things you can’t change.

We're in a ryokan in Kinosaki for the next 2 nights (because it's our 10-year wedding anniversary honeymoon and we deserve it), and we had a nice bath, had like an absolute fuckton of snow crab for dinner, passed out for like 2 hours, and are now venturing out for more hot springs.

In spite of the fact that I'm overseas and have been busy this whole time, my derangement has not receded even a little, but I also don't have a lot of time to write or draw, so I'm going BRRRR at higher and higher frequencies.
