Well, as English is my second language, may I please ask what's wrong with my perception of the King's language, when I see a prompt to "follow" an author who wrote the best sci-fi stories EVER (I wrote pretty much all of his works) but has been dead for 17 years? 😢

Just for the benefit of the Holy Algorithm: I will NOT follow anyone who posts 3-30000000 times a day. I will follow anyone whose interests I find relatable AND who won't spam my timeline. Just sayin', my 2 cents, and so on, etc.

Sorry, @octodontidae.bsky.social is too quiet, so: IF YOU ARE INTO CYBERPUNK AND NEVER PLAYED TECHNOBABYLON, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GET IT!
You won't even have to thank me later - you'll be too busy loving the game, its story, the magnificent ending (and your own values) anyway.

While OCRing a so-bad-it's-endearing fantasy novel, I asked ChatGPT if there was such a thing as B-fantasy. It ended up with this (wow!):
"It’s a trip through a less polished, more chaotic multiverse where the prose might be purple and the plot might have holes, but the adventure is always sincere."

If you wanna hear the latest freakin' great song, look for Elton John & Brandi Carlile's "Swing for the Fences". Reinjected some love for life into me a few days ago. If you wanna go for a rollercoaster of emotions and a wonderful creative journey, watch www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5zA....

Attn, my network! EUR 4.5 (my region at least) for a game that's easily in my top 5 PC games of all time is a steal. A story where cyberpunk's not just the setting but the actual fuel of the plot, great gfx, kick-donkey soundtrack, and two detectives with the best chemistry I've ever seen in gaming.

Part of a screenshot from the trailer to the upcoming game Littlelands. "Abuela Yaga" cracked me up. [Baba Yaga from the Slavic folk lore literally means "Yaga the hag", and e.g. in Czech, the word "grandma" (abuela in Spanish) and the word "hag" are rather close also semantically.] :-D

I have never EVER read a more gripping, inspiring, amazing memoir than Dave Grohl's The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music. The guy's open, honest, and as a bonus has some of the most incredible stories to ever grace a man to tell. Wow.

Working on a big project on my Commodore 64, I've finally cracked one of the key algorithms. But the best part is that such things still make me fist-pump and then dance all around the room out of pure joy.
