Whatever happened to the Church of Starry Wisdom and their blasphemous treasure?

If there is one truth about this universe that cannot be escaped it is that light is fleeting. Eventually, the shadows get their way. The Office of Extradimensional Intelligence isn't a government o...

So, uh, Sea of Stars is unexpectedly amazing. The characters are a bit one note, but the world, tone, music, and story are all fantastic. And what is it about cooking systems that always make me want to jump in the kitchen?

I went into full hermit mode this weekend. It's time to come out my cave and get back to work, though...in my cave.

Resist. Speak out. On October 18th, sure, but also before then. Make your voice so loud the bots and dipshits cheering this on will be drowned out.

This raid is disgusting, abominable behavior, traumatizing children and families in their homes.

"They was terrified. The kids was crying. People was screaming. They looked very distraught. I was out there crying when I seen the little girl come around the corner, because they was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other," Watson said. "That's all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where's the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, 'f*** them kids.'"

I am so excited for the next playtest of Die Jutsu and the XGR setting. It's really helping me to flesh out how combining Suleniar's Enigma with Neo Rackham affects the worldbuilding. In short, it's gonna be fucken badass. Oh, and we're working on a comic for it.

Jade has been peeing just outside the litter box. Poor girl's vision has gotten even worse. I'm gonna work with her this weekend to correct her mental map, hopefully.

If only all families could be as loving and accepting.

Character limits are dumb! Anyway! Thank you so much for your review and support! It means a whole helluva fucking lot. If you are able/comfortable, dropping a review on Amazon or Goodreads goes a long way!

Cheers!

I mean, in many ways, I can sympathise. When talking with my trans friends about the similarities between coming out as any flavor of atheist or non-christian, the experience is similar. I also got shunned by family just for wanting to go by my middle name instead of what I was "born with."

Means a helluva lot to hear that! Biig shout out to my friend @alyustheamazing.bsky.social, who helped so much with the research on the LGBTQ+ stuff so much easier! (P.S. he's an amazing writer, and everyone should check out Valley of Wolves!) #bookreview

Finished 'Cthulhu: Gr1m01re' by @ericmalikyte.bsky.social yesterday.
Damn,what a ride. High octane eldritch horror from start to finish,with a banger of a finale.

Spoiler:The trans main character was AWESOME.How they dealt with their personal journey while also fighting off cosmic threats was great

I rarely share Biographics stuff here, but I think this Christopher Reeve bio is really, really good. #superman #biography #ChristopherReeve

My escape lately is designing the RPG and comic for XGR. I always found the art direction and OSTs of SNES RPGs to be super relaxing, and while cyberpunk isn't really what I would call "relaxing", I've been listening to a remixed version of the Breath of Fire II OST while drawing maps. #TTRPG #SNES

Trump threatens to shut down US government unless all trans health care is banned

The US government's looming shutdown hinges on anti-trans measures after Donald Trump refused to speak to Democrats unless they were passed.

I think Victor LaValle had it right in Ballad of Black Tom.

I'd take Cthulhu over these nazi motherfuckers any day.

Caught the first 6 episodes of Alien: Earth at my Mother in Law's...and it's okay at best, so far. The pacing really drags in places and it feels like the writers had too many ideas and not enough focus.
