I’m kinda annoyed that right around the time I start learning how to use em dashes its now synonymous with AI writing.

A real greek tragedy.

To any of my fellow #writers out there, having now published my first book and gotten onto two major platforms, my takeaways are this.

Amazon gives you a little more flexibility and more money. Higher returns on royalties.

Barnes and Nobles is more straightforward, but way less on royalties.

Not only have I made TWELVE dollars off my book so far, I'm now a WORLD renowned author. I'm basically JK Rowling without being a massive bigot.

@dailybookcovers.bsky.social does this meet your criterion? 👀

Yeah, I'm a pretty big deal 😎

I'm only about 8 hours into #kcd2 but I can already tell this is going to be a favorite of mine. It's so rare to see a game tackle this time period with such taste and attention to detail.

It's both an incredible immersive sim and a compelling story. It's also just damn fun.

Elon Musk making Grok literally spout support for Hitler wasn't a sentence I thought would ever have to enter my brain.

I'm really irritated that it has.

Just finished #PacificDrive. Overall would recommend it!

My one complaint was the game play loop was a little disjointed. Driving? Fun! Fixing the car? Fun! Collecting items? Not fun. Breaks up the flow of the game too much when you get out of the car every 30 seconds to collect items.

I can't count the number of times I'll be #writing and think of a cool line, add it in, then discover 2 paragraphs later I already wrote it somewhere else.

Here's a real world example of why you shouldn't trust #AI. This screenshot was me asking my browser about the history of HOA's. One source is Wikipedia. The other is from Associa, a property management company. Nowhere in the expanded summary does it mention the discriminatory practices or history🧵

#mouthwashing is one of the tightest examples of good horror games I have ever played. Brilliantly written, creepy as hell, and with moments of brevity that make it all feel extremely human and three dimensional.

Finally, the hole in my heart that I have desperately tried to fill with substance abuse, vitriol, and moral self flagellation, has been fulfilled. My depression is cured. My wang huge. I would thank God, but I can only thank @theonion.com and capitalism for allowing me to purchase such fine mugs.
