STOP ⛔️ This is a WIP checkpoint
QRT with your current WIP

my next novel's manuscript is almost done :-)
i have grown completely infatuated with writing these characters, so here's a diversion they went on, in-between important places

We pass by a few hatches in the ground that have the Vasthi word for 'FLOODED' on them, and more than a few possible exits out of the spillway seem to have collapsed, or been sealed after-the-fact to keep out water. Doesn't rain here anymore but the sea is close enough to cause problems.
Eventually the way to proceed gets a little convoluted. The train tunnels take an unwelcome bend westward, so we try to cut through an exit that heads upward on a bit of scaffolding, but the heavy metal door is both locked and sealed behind with concrete. We backtrack to find another door of the same make with a sign in Vasthi, and Rhodes gets us in with a more complicated lockpicking attempt, something with two metal bits and a while of tinkering. Swears under her breath some, but we get through.
On the other end is a pretty striking place, odd and dark and not altogether easy to understand. "This was outside at one point, I bet," Rhodes says.
"Shit, maybe." The ceiling is held up only in part, and only in places—concrete bulging downward from the weight of a city atop it, with pillars from what was once an overhang above a train station holding it up. More like a cavern than a tunnel, and then hewn out in places manually by people trying to make more passageways. More signs than we've seen yet, none in Colonial Common. Modern electric lanterns held in by cheap wrought iron pitons, with long power cords going into the distance one way and another.
"Okay, getting somewhere," Rhodes says, now. She stands with her hands on her hips and leans forward to read the intricate details. Not quite a map but closer than we've had. "Corundum Town gets mentioned here. Plus some other shit. There's... ah, ah... a way down to Little Hegemony, but it's kilometers and kilometers off."
I shake my head. "Don't need that. Just need someone native to trade with."
"Yeah. Someone dug a tunnel to Varre Trading Post. Or, uh, I guess it's just Varre... Post. There's probably people there."
Makes me g…

Culmination of three months of 30 minute warm up sketches has become Swords and Sorcery heroes
I put 12 cats and 12 D&D classes into a hat and drew out this all cat adventurer guild.
Maybe I'll do something with them some day? Anyway, good job on your first successful mission, helping me warm up 💪

So like this is funnier and more offensive than anything anyone else said about Kirk that got them fired

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

You're living through one of the biggest technological transformations in world history and it has nothing to do with AI

Jan Rosenow @janrosenow.bsky.social · 2d

Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved.

Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning.

After 4 years of making only one video about Dark Souls 3 and then not turning it properly into a series, today I'm righting that wrong!

Dark Souls 3 Dissected is back with a brand new episode about its Invisible Walls and weird collisions!

The store description here is hugely out of date. GTFO is fully complete now, enormous and EXTREMELY hardcore. But if you can get a serious crew of four together, it's an amazing survival horror ride.

It also has a surprisingly active mod scene with hundreds more *even harder* missions to play.
