I really need to arrange to go out with my friends more often. Feels like it’s been an age since I’ve seen anyone again

I mean, don’t get me wrong, I write really entertaining stuff, just a very different genre. I’m just very much getting into to LitRPG genre, and I’m trying to write my own and it’s not quite up to scratch yet. Still working at it though, piece by piece

(Continuing to “reread” by listening to all the audiobooks from the beginning though lol)

I finished This Inevitable Ruin, the seventh book in the #DungeonCrawlerCarl series, last night, and god damn it was so good. I wish I could write something as truly absorbing and entertaining as that. @mattdinniman.bsky.social did an incredible job, as ever

Now I gotta wait for the next book lol 😅

You ever had so many good romantic options in your life, you just couldn’t figure out which one to choose? Just what kind of chaos can ensue when playing the field gets messy!

You can find out in my 2nd novel, CRISIS OF INFINITE BOYFRIENDS!

I really want to play Ghost of Yotei (I loved Ghost of Tsushima so much) but I had to pay for my dental treatment this month so that’s definitely not in the cards rn

Dead End: Paranormal Park (the show) and Deadendia (the comic) are precious pieces of work. I'll fistfight anyone spreading hate towards it and its creator.

This is grim & dangerous over reach.

This is a government that have lost the moral argument & are still selling arms to Israel. Now further cracking down on dissent.

Absolutely the opposite of what they should be doing - so of course this is what the Labour Government choose.

NEW: Home Office announces planned new anti-protest powers, mainly aimed at pro-Gaza protests like those for Palestine Action. Police will be able to consider the "cumulative impact" of repeated protests and potentially order that they be relocated.

Comics should be easier to do, somehow.

Anyone have a particularly hot comic take?

Yeah, I’m going to discuss it with my flatmate when he gets back. It really doesn’t seem reasonable for them to jack it up as much as they have, tbh so we’ll probably do that

Joe Glass @joeglass.bsky.social · 4d

This, btw, is why I’m finding it so hard to make new stuff all the time, or even market the stuff I have out. Each time I think I’m getting on my feet to start focusing on my “extracurricular” income, the rug gets swept out from under me by yet another cost increase.

Joe Glass @joeglass.bsky.social · 4d

Ffs, just been notified that my energy bill is going up AGAIN next month, by over £50. My pay, however, is making no such increase. I use as little power as possible and yet it just keeps going up and up. This is ridiculous. How is anyone supposed to live this way?

Have the weekend off, and I could use building up some base funds in my account, so I’ll be going through my shelves to find some books, games and such to sell. Should I share things I’m thinking of selling here too?
