Steam gave me a refund for anno 117: Pax Romana thankfully. So mad still, especially at seeing they also ai generated written dialogue. I was willing to blow 100 dollars on their game but now I’m prob going to avoid Ubisoft games like they’re infected.

Germ just brought it to my attention that Ubisoft is using AI generated imagery for the art in Anno 117: Pax Romana.

I promised some samples of lettering from the manga
Hope You're Happy, Lemon by Mizuki Kishikawa, so here we go. It's now on sale!
Kishikawa's style is really fun, and super busy at times, and I had a lot of fun trying to match it.

I didn't expect to like Project Hail Mary that much, but I'm really loving Rocky, and the audio book is doing some fun stuff with the language.

Nope, not continuing with that deep end book. Done. DNF. Instead I just got A Drop of Corruption on my libby and I am SO in the mood to continue with some sherlock holmes style mysteries in that lovecraftian sort of world. I really did enjoy the first book.

I’ve been a fan of Gail carriger’s parasol protectorate series forever and adored the comic adaption when it came out. It’s lovely and I was sad to see it end and wrap up around the first book, but it’s a great introduction to the books so if you want more after the comic the world is there
