If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who or Transformers.
DRD 1812, Critchon's favorite DRD from Farscape. He taught it the 1812 Overture and painted it red, white, and blue.

My nail polish is so pretty. It's Sinful Colors "Let's Talk".

Speaking of 10 years of Grimluk, you can read my reflections on Patreon today or my website tomorrow. One of the big things I decided to do, with all the mental hurdles, is ask that my readers help me celebrate A Demon in the Desert. If you ever read and enjoyed it, please share!
The cover of A Demon in the Desert: Grimluk stands in the center, holding a revolver He wears a black hat with a black coat and a red bandana around his neck. Behind him is a cactus and a small desert mining town.

It ain't a movie but I got four books about a gunslinger orc who hunts demons. What about that?

A cowboy orc with a big revolver stands in the stand surrounded by an inky black mass of eyes and teeth. A cowboy orc is running through the woods, looking back as a six-eyed wolf demon with a floating blood crown above its head leaps at him from behind. Everything is glowing red and there's an ominous owl statue in the background.

Well, it finally happened. I got the email. Amazon wants me to join the Generative Slop Brigade. I'd rather unenroll my books on Amazon and lose the money entirely than use this bullshit. No one wants this. No one needs this. Fuck this shit.
An email from KDP telling Ashe that he has been selected for the Virtual Voice Beta program.

I kind of hate using myself as a sign but I gotta tap the sign again:
Screenshot of Ashe's quote skeet. The OP says, "Please stop talking about the invasion of our northern enighbor like there is some part of it that is not just violence and occupation and abomination." Ashe adds, "American exceptionalism has poisoned our brains so badly we're convinced that if we invaded and annexed our closest allies, they'd just be cool with that. Like they'd just apologize for causing a fuss and wouldn't fight back with all the fury we'd be due."

The SPSFC staff apparently being nazi sympathizers reminded me that I posted this on Goodreads (one of the auto Ask the Author prompts) SEVEN FUCKING YEARS AGO.
Screenshot of one of Ashe's "Ask the Author" entries from Goodreads. The question is, "Can you tell us a two-sentence horror story?" Ashe wrote, "Once, not so long ago, Nazis were the bad guys. Now they're just a differing political opinion."

And a few more.
Ashe's favored Liquidators Expedition base, on an icy world in the Halberids system. It's made with deep water prefab structures in purple and black. There are two landing pads. On the far landing pad is Ashe's new Interceptor, a stealth black ship that looks like a Klingon Bird-of-Prey while flying. The Glyphs for the world of the previous picture: Balloon, Sunset, Bug, Sunset, Atlas, Dragonfly, Balloon, Rocket, Tent, Diplo, Balloon, Voxel A "flourishing" world Ashe found through uploaded bases. It's made of wood materials and includes a little house and a pier that leads into the water. The sounds of waves were very soothing and the grass was Namek blue. The glyphs are Boat, Bird, Tree, Atlas, Atlas, Dragonfly, Balloon, Rocket, Rocket, Diplo, Balloon, Voxel.

Have a No Man's Sky picture dump! Details in the Alt text.
Ashe's avatar overlooks a beautiful (but toxic) world from the top of a trading post. There are hills leading down to a large body of water. There' yellow vegetation with large, green rocks, and a floating island nearby an abandoned building. Ashe discovered a huge Gek obelisk anomaly while flying to a planet. It is two-pronged, close set together, with a hole near the base. Int he hole is a colossal, metallic Gek head. The obelisk is cracked in places, with pieces floating around it. Ashe's avatar stands in front of a portal, the glyphs that lead to the lush world his base is on in his primary save. The glyphs are: Eclipse, Sunset, Balloon, Bird, Sunset, Boat, Tent, Bug, Balloon, Voxel, Bird, Bird. A photomode shot for a photo mission. Ashe's Interceptor soars over a building on a desert world.

No Man's Sky update: I finally grabbed a freighter. Managed to spawn an A class and took it. Then I finally finished The Voice of Freedom quest. Did some resource gathering for prep for doing the Adrift expedition and took this photo.
Screenshot of Ashe's homebase valley on a lush planet. In the left foreground, Ashe's avatar stands near his Roamer looing out into the valley, his base off in the distance, lit by the early morning sun. Ashe and his Roamer are decorated in purple and black.

So this happened tonight during exploration time in No Man's Sky. I also swapped all the best gear I had to the A-Class shuttle I'd found as it was better than all three of my other ships. Junked all but the starter ship cause it has something I need to repair to remove.
A black, red, and white spaceship with purple energy coming out of the engines sits in front of a crashed freighter ship during a superheated storm. In the distance is a rainbow.

It's six years old this month. Book 3 in my Grimluk, Demon Hunter fantasy western series. I think this was when a lot of my abilities finally solidified. There's a few things I'd do different but it has a good cast and a fun villain and WHOO that cover!
