Apologies for being toxic on main, but the whole "Andy Weir loving genAI" is good news for me, because I've been, like, 50 pages into The Martian for years now, because the main character was just so...smug, and I feel genuine relief I can finally give up on it forever ๐Ÿ˜Œ

This was last week?! I give a pass to people who experimented with stable diffusion when it first came out, but there has been so much discussion since about the ethical/environmental impacts, and also "im a caveman dur hur" AI art is just...super fucking lame in the year of our lord 2026 ๐Ÿ™„

I don't like the word "stupid" because it's more about defining people as outside society norms and values rather than an analysis on their "intelligence" (whatever that is), but that said --

If you think the probabilistic-word-choice machine can improve my writing, I think you're fucking stupid.

Yay! Glad you are excited! Wish I had the fortitude to sit on things and do big reveals rather than post right before falling asleep, but maybe thatโ€™s whatโ€™s IG is for ๐Ÿ˜‚.

A work in progress (or maybe finished?) version of the cover for Triple Strike: Starfarer's Dream. It shows Alan and Sven standing across from each other, hands cupped together as the look up smiling at fireflies rising into a night sky.

STARS AND SOIL

Leading on the crown prince so you can get information for the rebellion is hard enough as a lesbian, but even harder when you have the biggest crush on the other lady the prince is courting.

Omg Cirina and Sadu in the Valentiones event are giving me life right now ๐Ÿ˜ญ. Though Jacke hanging out with Oboro in twink clothes is pretty on point too.

Wands would be represented by something related to the Gate engines. I deliberately don't explain how Gating works, but I mention pillars that connect different parts of the engine, and I think these would work well as futuristic representations of fire and creative pursuits!

Heads precisely matches an eight-escudo minted in Lima, Peru in 1712 CE and the back is the Jolly Roger from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

Pentacles often represent material wealth, so they'd be the Republic's coin currency that Alan disparagingly describes as โ€œhalf painful attention to detail and historical accuracy, and half pirate theme-park ride.โ€ Alan does need to lighten up, but he's not wrong because --

I am extremely bad at playing horror games for this reason. I even like the psychological plot elements and want to play more in theory, but in practice I get too flustered and nervous to actually get through them. Death Standing is at my limit =.=;;.

Imo short grain rice is more forgiving (and that's mostly what I use), but yeah, mushy rice is definitely more salvageable than crunchy rice...rough :(.
