@randylubin.com Hey Randy! Just stumbled on StorySynth and wanted to ask a quick question. For the Shuffled template is there a way to work around "the end card is always last" so it doesn't come at the bottom of the deck, but 'towards the end' of it like in FTQ ?

Digimon Time Stranger thoughts so far (~8h in):
* Very fun! Solid combat & digivolutions are still cool
* Good nostalgia fodder even for light fans like me
* UI remains a little clunky in places
* Writing for other characters isn't bad, but the MC's dialogue & interactions are by far the worst part

But I can have a team of big dinosaurs and dragons and that makes me happy

I'm a broke indie creator and STILL it's not hard to pay people on time. Companies can & should do better.

Ibrahim Moustafa @ibrahimmoustafa.bsky.social · 16d

Whenever a publisher is late paying me, I send an email to my point of contact asking them to look into the late payment…

And then I switch gears to investing work time into myself & my own projects (be it a book or making YouTube videos).

If I’m working on spec/for free, it ain’t for them. Lol.

Started a novella today I've been wanting to write for more than 5 years. Feels good to finally write the thing.

Based on @graphicpolicy.com's recommendation, I just finished LUCAS WARS by Laurent Hopman, Renaud Roche and @jeremymelloul.bsky.social, and it's a first-rate, beautifully illustrated retelling of pop culture history. Highly inspiring for Star Wars fans and creatives of all stripes.

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

NEW: Trump is designating "Antifa" a terrorist organization (though there's no legal mechanism to do - but the law doesn't matter anymore.) He's using the Kirk murder to justify going after democrats. Those of us who read Project 2025 knew this was coming - but that provides little comfort.

This is deeply, deeply chilling, and I suspect will be seen as even more of a turning point than Colbert's cancellation — at least The Late Show is still on the air.
