MIDNIGHT IN BABYLON, the first episode of AZATHOTH BLUES, is now out on all major podcast platforms, including Spotify. A dark journey into paranoia, conspiracy, murder & ritual. How do you fight back in a world that seems increasingly insane?

Yay? Glückwunsch? Das ist gut? (Isses?)

Oh, verdammt, wie gut sieht das denn aus?

Resisting the Hivemind: Pluribus, Generative AI, and Empire - Reactor While its creator tell us that Pluribus is not about advent of generative AI, it's difficult not to spot the many places where the fledgling tech and extraterrestrial hivemind overlap.

I found the ep in PLURIBUS where Carol--white, American--meets 5 non-white, non-American survivors of the hivemind off-putting, but in a way that made me curious to see where Gilligan was going. Now that I have, I wrote about how empire, privilege, genAI, & resistance converge in the show's subtext:

Now that would be awkward!

This. And the Broken Earth trilogy.

Jau, mach einfach. Hast halt aus Versehen die falsche Version abgegeben. Coole Profs lassen das durchgehen.

Here’s my Spotify Wrapped 🎵✨

Do I know anyone here who speaks French?

I'm looking for an old fashioned, colloquial word or phrase that translates to "troublemakers". Something you'd call a group of schoolgirls that are very clever about pulling pranks. Along the lines of rascals, scamps, misfits, etc.

Thank you!

Haha, nee. Ich habe nur ein kleines Bisschen zu dieser großartigen Übersetzung beitragen dürfen. War aber eines der feinsten Projekte der letzten Jahre, ehrlich. Hat so viel Freude gemacht, zu sehen, was die anderen Übersetzerinnen da hingezaubert haben. Hach.

Ich bin biased, aber Tiny Bookshop ist klasse. Viel Spaß!

What a way to start a career!

Niiiice! Have fun!

Save 15% on Virtue's Heaven on Steam The world ends tomorrow, your friends are imprisoned and those responsible for both have stolen the future. The time for deliberation is over. It is time to be reckless, irresponsible and beautiful.

Virtue's Heaven has finally reached the 10 review threshold and to both celebrate and potentially capitalize on the (marginal and temporary) boost in visibility, I've put the game on sale for this week!

Screenshot from Virtue's Heaven steam page view stat page, showing the daily page views for the past three months. After October 23rd, the graph jumps from around 100-200 views per day to 500-700, most of which coming from people seeing the game in their Steam Discovery Queue.

Here's the reason why you see so many people beg for reviews on Steam. Virtue's Heaven got past 10 reviews this weekend and suddenly the amount of page views tripled, mostly because the game started to show up in people's discovery queues.

Awesome. Cannot wait to see more of this!

This looks lovely.

Mit ner Schaufel?

I have played this almost one year ago and I still keep thinking about it. It's very good.

Could indeed be tricky! Character limits are no fun, but that's sometimes part of the job. Better to avoid them, though (maybe using a different font?)
