Happy Holidays, everyone.

After walking out of FedEx, having just filled out a medical release form to my hospital for my surgery. All my brain wanted to remind me of was Andy Sandburg from The Lonely Island screaming "I am an adult" from their song "Throw it on the ground". 😅

Chapter 7 is out now. This is your friendly reminder.

Some say this chapter is the end of Act 1 but I believe that happens at chapter 9.

I hope you all enjoy it. If my site is acting up, it is still available on the other platforms.

I am currently experiencing higher than average traffic on Darkstar Systems, which is resulting in intermittent 404 errors.

The issue is currently under investigation. An alert banner has been posted on the site. Thanks for your patience.

Just shipped the "Deviations" archive. 🚀

It’s an app for designed to mimic the in-world "Deviation Reports."

Built with custom auto-moderation pipeline in the OnPost handler to filter toxicity before it ever hits the DB.

A screenshot of the "Deviations" page on the Darkstar Systems website. The interface features a dark, cyberpunk terminal aesthetic decorated with digital falling snowflakes and a string of colorful holiday lights at the top. The central content is a "Handler Feed" displaying a test report. The report text reads: "THIS IS A TEST SCRIPT. I WROTE THE CODE AND I CAN DELETE YOU. APPROVE THIS SO I CAN MAKE SURE IT WORKS. THANKS IN ADVANCE." A notification below confirms: "REPORT ACCEPTED // Logged to archive."

Some other stuff from the archives.

When we found out we were having twins I was freaking out trying to think of a way to afford it. lol

I worked a manual labor job and was to tired to get another so I wanted to monetize my art skills. Refurb'ed consoles and sold on eBay.

The drawing depicts Samus Aran pointing her arm cannon forward, framed within the outline of the controller's center area. Disassembled plastic shell parts of a Super Nintendo (SNES) console laid out on cardboard. The pieces are in the process of being spray-painted metallic red and gold, with a spray can visible in the corner. A close-up detail shot of the custom SNES controller. It has a red shell, gold D-pad and face buttons, and a white stencil design of Samus Aran’s helmet and shoulders on the faceplate.

The primary monitor displays a high-definition wallpaper of Samus Aran with her helmet partially open, showing her face and glowing blue eyes. The secondary monitor to the left shows Samus in her Power Suit. The desk is cluttered with gaming gear, including a mechanical keyboard with orange and blue keycaps, Creative Pebble speakers, and a PC case to the right with custom green lighting and "icicle" decorations. Below the main monitor is a sticker with a yellow equal sign on a blue background that reads "Fighting for Transgender and Non-Binary Justice."

I built a custom Telemetry Feed for my site, to imitate what a Handler would see. It grabs my real-time data, what I'm listening to, what I'm watching, where I am, and sanitizes it into a "Handler" feed.

Made this for my niece. It could have used a little more TLC, but I think it has character.

The images are in various stages of the process. The keyboard arms were meant to cover the fuzz so I didn't detail there.

It shows a stylized blue flower, red cattails, and a small yellow sun wearing sunglasses painted in the corner. ​A rough pencil sketch on white paper outlining the design for a keyboard case. It features a nature scene with a flower and cattails on the left side and a frog sitting on a lily pad on the right side. ​A white keyboard case with a black marker drawing of a pond scene. The outline shows a large flower and cattails on the left, and a happy frog waving on a lily pad on the right. A custom keyboard case in the middle of being spray-painted. The background is a deep blue, with the base shapes of a green lily pad and red cattails blocked in using stencils, lacking fine details.

So the system adapted. It shaped compliance with calm tones, with the illusion of choice, with a softness that never quite felt human.❞

The erasure is staggering: My daughter's teacher didn't know about the pink triangles in WW2.

After we talked, my daughter decided to include that history in her class presentation. So proud of her for speaking up.

Now I am too, Read "The Intermediaries".
