This whole movie was my entire personality for at least a year after it came out. My dad took me to see it for my 8th birthday and wow was it so cool.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

A movie you like with a terrible rotten tomatoes score

Just picked up the 4k @arrowvideo.bsky.social release the other day! One of my favorite memories as a kid was seeing this in theaters for my birthday. Such a fun move.

Pale Tides is going so well and Iโ€™m just having the best time of my entire life working on it ๐Ÿฅน It truly feels like the culmination of not just my career, but every interest Iโ€™ve ever had. Iโ€™m proud of my writing, I think the game design is neatโ€ฆ This is the best.

Personal projects rule actually.

No. Nope! Not today! I'm not letting "you haven't done much, getting kind of lazy eh?" slide. I'm posting some of my recent work here cuz I want to appreciate myself for once. Between professional, collab, and personal work with the state of the world as it is, we're lucky to see ANY art at all.

Finally found the time to finish up The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by @sgj.bsky.social. A brutal and poetic story that should be on the top of your TBR pile if you haven't already.

Iโ€™m really simple. I just want to make fun little fantasy projects.
A a painting of fantasy scene? Yay.
A little diagram of a Druid grove? Oooh.
World building and diving into the magic systems of other worlds? What fun!

'Typos'
- embarrassing
- show a lack of care
- invite ridicule

'Written Bloopers'
- funny
- humanizing
- often better than whatever you were going to type

Scrivener, people - you want to write on a computer, use Scrivener, you have control, not google, not Microsoft, not Apple (all those writing apps have always been loaded with bugs & intrusive garbage) no algorithms, just documents to type on & smart tools for organizing them as your mind inclines.

Having hobbies is good and fun and important. Itโ€™s really nice to black out for several hours and get hyper focused on something that isnโ€™t the internet. If you donโ€™t have a hobby consider: getting a hobby.

Had such a blast listening to @chuckwendig.bsky.social and @claymcleod.bsky.social talk horror and writing at @doylestownbookshop.bsky.social tonight. Both wonderfully funny and insightful human beings and a great local indie bookshop. Go get both of their newest books right now!
