Once I actually take a moment to break out my pens, it's grimy, filthy weapons for all

I am arming the horde

Meanwhile that quiet Silverden pilgrim, about whom jibes are passed, is sipping from a thin, wimpy glass of imported *snorts* wine. It is in truth South Canton Sardoa, one strong whiff of which is enough to make the most stubborn aurox reel. He's seeing the Coils tonight I tell you hwat.

It's like they want to use Uber and not state-funded public transport, which presents a unique problem of chatty drivers. Truly a conundrum for the ages. But soon the High King will return to the Hill of Tara and reinstate the ancient laws of Éireann, so it'll all be fine in the end.

Impulse bought a game on PSN called Gnomes & Knights

It wasn't even five euros

Straight unlicensed use of that Blod Besvimelse gnome music, dogshit lo-fi visuals, dedicated pissing button, needless to say I'm in absolute fucking heaven right now

23. Alsahhim cities are meant to resemble highly exaggerated mesopotamian ruins, they almost dwell within the ruins of their own civilization. The Craggan bridgelands are a dank, dour, and vaguely bleak sprawling catacomb. Theirs is not a loving and positive ancestor cult.

The only good thing about our government fucking up the buses is no more people talking to me at bus stops because there will be no bus stops

"Oxford commas are a sign you write with ai" I will find such a unique way to rip out your spine that they'll make a movie about it

I'm a 1, always have been, always will be. Have a life of evidence for it. Absolutely and unequivocally nothing intimidating about me at all. Doesn't matter what I do. I am the Bouba Effect made flesh.

For a deeply anxious, introverted person who just wants to be left alone, it's a fucking curse.

I think your dad should absolutely brew some Wizard's Finger😂 I dunno what that's gonna taste like, or if there are any wizards to cut fingers from nearby, but it's fine

The em dash thing is total nonsense peddled by fools, too, AI generate lots of em dashes in a certain way...because people use them that way. It's in the training data scraped from real writing. I swear, ignorance of the actual mechanics of AI is going to cause as much damage as the AI itself.

Minimalist covers can sometimes look pretty lame or generic, especially in fantasy where it's just like a medieval object, but good minimalist design pops, and this pops! Methinks you had good communication with the artist🧙

Tempted to write a really long review of Lords of the Fallen tbh

Then I walked into the final Lightreaper fight and decided I hate this game it's fucking stupid and bad

I absolutely refuse to change my writing, because to me it feels too much like bowing to pressure and not adaptation against a threat. I genuinely believe that it affecting our expression is dangerous. So the day someone accuses me of using AI is the day I reduce them to a red stain on the sidewalk.

The wizard is angrily pointing at his computer monitor, highlighting a typo.

The Mordai, I didn't think about their cities much, but the image that pops into my mind immediately is eternal twilight, blue lanterns, mazelike streets, high towers and pinnacles, and massive open thoroughfares and courts. Very grand, stately, and kind of morose. Lots of pale grey stone.

The Star of Shalik cover is here! 🌟

Nineteen years after The Chrysillium Tree, magic is fading — and one woman may awaken it again.

Massive thanks to cover artist Julisa Basak (IG) for this stunning design. She truly captured the heart of the story 💫

Mark Riddick is the artist I wanna be when I grow up. First saw his stuff on the Timeghoul discography and always love seeing it out in the wild.

To this day, some several thousand hours of gameplay later, his little cheeky laugh he does as he jumps into a mirror always gets me. He's having such a good time. How they managed to include him and manage to not break the tone of the game is a genuine achievement. He is so SILLY.

Beer/ale sometimes has the best names and I believe it is incredibly necessary, perhaps a divine obligation, to create weird shit like Old Speckled Hen for fantasy worlds.

Same, I tend to watch more vampire stuff than read (and I'm a terrible reader sometimes tbh) and the ONLY other one I could think of was The Hunger. Every Dracula adaptation that's a love story deals intense physical damage to me. And anyone who says Carmilla...Y I K E S.

I actually don't drink at all, a medical condition and the meds I take for it make it a bad idea😅 I've literally been told I couldn't possibly be Irish if I don't drink!
