I won’t even entertain the “AI art makes creating accessible for people who can’t do it” argument. I wasn’t good at art either when I first started. I sucked at pottery for months. The journey of practicing and growing is an incredible thing to experience; you can’t just be good right away.

The guy who has seen every bit of information on the internet and has been driven mad by it is supposed to be Freakazoid, dammit. How do we get to the alternate timeline where we have Freakazoid instead of ChatGPT?
Behold the Internet oracle, the god in the machine that has seen every bit of information on the internet and has been driven mad by it. It just got a gig being paid 100 mil a year to be Clippy for doing taxes. Don’t ask why, no one knows.

I've released a preview version of "Quest for Erasmus" on Itch. I'm still waiting on some artwork and I'm still working on the code, but I believe that the demo is playable from start to end. You can play in your browser or download it and play it with DOSBox.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

I'm so excited to announce I just released my debut novel! 'The Novus Quandary' is pt1 of a new sci-fi trilogy I worked on over the past 5 yrs.

I'd even settle for a marshmallow world
There is a new Google ad depicting a world where everyone is carrying around a soft-serve ice cream cone. At the end, they show someone talking to their Pixel phone, and end with “everything else is vanilla.” I… I want to live in the ice cream universe 🥲
