I don't think my powers work on that level of a cursed place.

Catcher (in translation) was also required reading in high school in Croatia (at least back in early 2000s). I can't think of a protagonist my entire class disliked more than Holden.

Personally I couldn't get through Anna Karenina fast enough, bored me out of my mind.

I joined Hive about four hours before it went down for several weeks.

This reminds me of that (ex?) Tor editor who went off the deep end re: LLMs and started claiming he supports the use of Midjourney because he "fights for the rights AI will need to have in the near future once it's fully intelligent"

Sounds like a food hack, "here's how to get some fiber early in the morning"

As I neared 40 I became aware of how men will often not have anything against age gap romances until a woman they're into starts dating a much older man and then suddenly age gaps are problematic.

No sane DM (including myself) would ever allow a druid to wild shape into an owlbear but that didn't stop me from enjoying the 2023 D&D movie as much as it's possible to enjoy anything XD

I've gotten into watercolor pencils. It's very relaxing and fun so far, especially because it's very vibes-based so I can't really "mess things up".

Weirdly the opposite because ideas don't really mean anything--it's much more about the execution and how I pull it off. I can write a modern version of Dracula and you can write a modern version of Dracula, but neither of us will write SALEM'S LOT, which was King's modern version of Dracula.

Is there a novel or a short stroy you ever considered adapting (plot or setting) into a game?

Seems to me like Anthony Horowitz has a skill issue.

I usually like it when something you wrote breaks my brain but I'm not enjoying this right here.

Them stealing the museum door is 10+ years on still one of my favourite moments in fiction in general.

I watched this movie a few months ago. Up until thirty seconds ago I would have vehemently defended my memory of PETE DAVIDSON actually being in the movie.

Saw it first in 2007. Keep rewatching it every couple of years. Keep waiting for it to have aged poorly. Still hasn't.

I have *never* used ChatGPT. Not once.

I’m not saying I’m better than you… oh fuck it, I’m better than you.

"Bluesky is boring."

Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually.

When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

It's two years since my debut novel, Dark Woods, Deep Water was published, and one year since my novella, Ghost Apparent came out.
When you're an indie author, you don't stop to celebrate, because you're always chasing new goals. But I think these books deserve to be celebrated.

cca 10 years ago several then teens told me that they've "kinda accepted as fact" they can't really rely on their friends, which was... concerning, to say the least. As a millennial I'm aware of our tendency to stay friends with shitty people, but taking as granted that no one is there for you? Ouch

Does that mean they're bringing back that army recruitment ad where the guy fights a demon with a sword?

Him solving the building site murder by creating a grid of suspects and locations is one of my fave moments in 30+ years of watching crime and mystery shows 😂

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them.

Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!”

Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.”

Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face.

Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑
