The world kinda sucks, but if you expect me to just like, be glum about it, you haven't been paying attention. I'm going to be the fucking positivity I need in the world. Not delusionally so, but SPITEFULLY so.

I wish I could draw even bad art... making these silly A Foul Light Shines magic cards is fun. Maybe I'll make a whole set (and maybe try to make it somewhat balanced?, because the game designer in me wants it to be balanced.

Ok. End of the year going into next year writing thoughts.
1. Its about time to get the final act of AFLS over for editing.
2. I need to finish the rewrite, and edits of Dog Walker.
3. Need to finish the rewrites and edits of Praise the Moon. I've been away from my urban fantasy for too long.

I started with pizza but, because of its nights and weekend shifts. When they didn't give a raise I switched to a grocery store. After college the job market sucked, so I stayed in retail moving up the ladder. Till they closed down the branch I managed. Got a job at a credit union after that.

Glad to be considered a friend! If you can support any of these fine folks, please do. They've all got some great stories to tell.
Alright. Today is my birthday (and tbh it has sucked so far). But. I promised a thread of books by friends. And I am going to make good on that.
Please consider buying books from friends today. Thread below. Storefronts may vary. I'm just linking where I know the books are.

Reason #1 why "no cell phone policies" are bad at work. Member passes out and hits her head as she lands... no need to fuss about, just out with the phone, and 911 here we go.

Ya'll... fuck google's A.I. Overview. It convinced one of my members today that she could legally close her savings account. Which isn't possible, because its the share that holds the entire membership open.
Don't take legal advice from A.I. Just don't. Talk to a real human.

Still thinking about VtMB2... and the absolute disrespect that parent company Paradox published.
It was a shell of a game, that tossed around multiple terms never defined, with no characters or quests linked to its core concepts. Ultimately a letdown years in the making.

It's a little strange how much attention is given to how many players are still playing a game. Especially story driven games. No shit 90+ percent of players have stopped playing. They beat the story...
