Miyamoto’s last game should just be an Ocarina of Time remake, with an extra ending where you finally find the Triforce. And Link wishes Ganon never existed and coached the Eagles in 2022, and they go on to win 4 straight Superbowls and Hyrule never has conflicts ever again.

Picture of the Echo Cube delay unit from AudioThing. It's got knobs galore and a pretty analog level indicator and a curled up hose in the middle.

Echo Cube is a dual delay inspired by the Cooper Time Cube, a rare analog unit that created echo using long coiled tubes instead of tape or electronic circuits. The delay time was defined by the physical travel of sound through air. Echo Cube recreates and expands this concept with two independent delay lines, each with time, feedback, and level controls. Choose between Time Cube for authentic hardware tone, or the experimental Garden Hose and Corrugated models for creative sound design. Flexible routing modes including serial, parallel, ping pong, mono sum, and mid side give you full control over delay interaction and stereo image shaping.

New digital toy day comes along from time to time, but rarer still is digital toy day being something I previously was unaware even existed!

Only $8 on iOS right now from one of my favorite app makers.

Oof. Yeah people get WEIRD about parking lots.

Whahappen?

Do not purchase or support Sentona Games, evidently they don't pay or support the people who work on their games.

Fuck that shit.

If you have or know an agent in that sphere that you trust, and that you think might be willing to speak to me about a one-off collaboration, I'd *deeply* appreciate hearing from you. A private message is fine if you don't want to respond in public.

Thanks.

Okay, fellow tie-in novel writers, I could use your assistance.

I need an agent to reach out to someone for me, in hopes of acquiring a particular work-for-hire gig. For reasons I'm not getting into here, my current agency is not interested in pursuing tie-in projects.

Solution: more shelves.

House made of shelves.

House Of Shelves.

Yesterday got away from me.

Here is “Gatan Knighthood Part 2”

Authors and Authors' Estates Sue The Topps Company for Unpaid Royalties - Writer Beware This is yet another Writer Beware post about allegations of royalties long left unpaid. But it’s also about the challenges of work-for-hire arrangements, and what can potentially go wrong when intelle...

Get out there and crush it.

But not Melody. Do not crush her. Her, she must be taken to a park with swings.

And possibly a picnic.

Speaking of: bsky.app/profile/deet...

One of Twitter's most valuable contributions before its collapse was helping regular people realize that no, it's actually not "more complicated than that." And the people telling you it's "more complicated than that" are obviously lying, dumb as hell, or both.

Show of hands: who would be interested in a not-social media based directory website of artists who pledge to never use AI in their process?

Is this something you would share around to everyone you know? Something you'd very much like to be listed on?

kmdhumecurios: There was a massive shift in how our culture understood morality when, after World War II, the general public realized “just following orders” was not an excuse for crimes against humanity. Now we need another moral shift in which we decide, as a culture, that “for the benefit of the stockholders” is not an excuse for anything. speciesofleastconcern replies: We kind of need to relearn the “just following orders” part again

Disability Day of Mourning is a day dedicated to grieving disabled people who’ve been killed by their caregivers.

The people we entrust to keep us safe are often the ones most likely to hurt us.

Why? Because ableism is violence but the non disabled don’t see it that way.

If it’s your jam at all, anime friends, Amaz0 (I know, I know, but sometimes needs must) has the 4k/Blu-Ray Combo Limited Edition of “Macross: Do You Remember Love?” for 15% off, or 85.12 USD.

This movie is a significant piece of anime history, and I can’t recommend it enough.

SWs are among the most politically astute folks I've ever met. They got their ear to the ground about what's coming before virtually anyone else.

They also tend to be awesome folks in general with or without their professional persona.

So yeah, following and tipping SWs is always good praxis.

In my lived experience, this has proven to be true.

Whale fact big!

wow!

Now more than ever, you don't have to be cutting and pasting batshit posts that you have seen over on That Other Site and also, for fuck's sake, get off That Other Site, again, now more than ever

Two tortoiseshell cats - Princess Yue (a dilute Tortie) and Suki (a dark Tortie) snooze on a quilt that is laid out over their human dad’s legs. A pair of spectacles and an Xbox controller look on in jealousy.

Today is apparently “Rusty Cat Day” in Japan, so please enjoy this photo of the last time my two rusty cats remembered that they love each other enough to share their papa’s blanket.

Time To Be Heroes: When You Can Get A Copy of My LEGENDS OF TOMORROW Book TIME TO BE HEROES will be available on the ECV Analog website in March, and bookstores everywhere beginning in November.

Some more thoughts on TTBH, why it will be a few more months before non-backers get it, and what that timetable looks like:

In case anyone needs to hear this right now.

Escapism is OKAY. I know every day lately brings another insane headline, but you HAVE to rest your mind.

The human brain wasn't meant to process the overload of information we're used to now.

DO NOT feel guilty for protecting your peace. Ever.

Hell, yeah, Bun.

This Hit Series Wasn’t Created for Black Fans. We Made It Our Own Anyway. Our long and complicated relationship with the late Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball.

Akira Toriyama died two years ago today. When he passed, I explained how Black American fans of Dragon Ball reinterpreted the series into a contemporary pillar of our culture.

I loved writing this essay, and I hope you enjoy it, too. Piccolo is wearing a wave cap.

The "this is just a distraction!" thought-terminating brainworm is one of the most infuriating holdovers from Trump's first term.

Nothing is a distraction; they're not that disciplined or clever. Everything is important; their one strategy is to DDOS democracy and its mechanisms of accountability.
