Worldcon is over and I had a blast.
Perhaps one day I'll be lucky enough to attend another one. Here's hoping they come to Seattle again within the next few decades.

I also sometimes do YouTube videos (rendering takes forever, though, it's infrequent). But I did try my hand at some basic ship combat a few months ago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwQD...

Cool modern thing that wasn't possible in the past: Sitting in a panel and getting book recommendations and I'm able to go to my library website and place holds on ebooks during the panel.

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.
And now, you can use it, too.

Aspiring writers, here is some advice:
* Unlearn the "You must always have a punchline or be quipping one liners" you learned from the MCU. This is one of the ways works talk down to you - because they think you have a 5 second attention span and tune out if there's no joke.

While I'm on the general subject of "AI," let me just say that it's a real dickheaded maneuver to tell an actual artist that their work "looks like AI." Their work doesn't look like "AI" because they're aping what "AI" does; it looks like "AI" because the "AI" company fucking stole from them.

This is the battleship by itself. As the largest military assets, battleships rely on their shuttle bays for logistics transfers - either by docking to stations large enough to accommodate them, or via underway replenishment by shuttles and other smaller ships.

If artists promoting their wares and posting art annoys you, you should unfollow me right now. In 2025, I am posting WAY more about the things I make, the services I provide, and the things I sell. I'm fighting for my livelihood. If that annoys you, find the door.

I was a beta reader for this book. If you like space opera stories about normal people being in the wrong place at the wrong time, caught up in things much larger than themselves, and dealing with a callous, unfair universe, it's a solid read. And you can't beat the price!
The Kindle Edition of Nightfire: Uprising - the first book in the Nightfire Saga - is free on Amazon until the 27th.
