Ah yeah, that's straight up the baddies ship's, no problem.

Now you mention it, @gshowitt.bsky.social should probably see this.

Well that's something we can all agree on.

If you scroll to the top of this thread I think you might find a delightful surprise.

What's pissing me off probably more than it should is the village fete and street fair level stuff. Nobody was every asking for more than a bit of clip art of crudely drawn sketches from these things! There was never any need for it!

Quick question - do I know anyone in my immediate circles who is at all knowledgeable around the fields of Asylum seeker rights/advocacy/employment?

CAVEAT: This is for silly made-up stuff fantasy research reasons and does not concern the wellbeing of any real.

Also you should be able to build a fully functional R/P FLIP.

Also I should be able to rotate the hab modules 90 degrees horizontally to make cross-wise corridors.
This is not relevant to your point, but still important.

Not to forget, of course, this absolutely beauty:

Rumour is apparently Star Trek tried his once but all the monitors fell out of the control panels and broke so they switched back to wobbling the camera around.

One day there's a real danger I may just end up writing a non-fiction book on designing the layouts of fictional spaceships.

Damn. You got me.

The Halley Antarctic Research Station. Six bug-like metal structures on skies, with a larger red one in the middle.

When I started writing Fermi I spent a lot of time looking at everything I could get around the Halley Research Station, not just the layout, but also the lifestyles of the people living there.

But the title isn't even made of real words!

Case in point.

I mean, I've got to believe there are easier ways to make a £100k salary.

If you're writing about or designing spaceships, particularly spaceships exploring strange alien worlds, the first thing you should look into is mobile Arctic research stations. There is no closer realworld equivalent.

I have DMed.

I actually had the "What do you think of editing a big stack of ChatGPT articles for a lower rate?" conversation this morning!

I said that I would rather not, thank you.

I mean, at the end of the day the best you can hope for is One Vote for good things/against bad things, and the ability to advocate for stuff that matters. I'd settle for that.

The thing that baffles me about my MP is that it takes only a few interactions with her to realise she doesn't actually believe in anything. But also she seems completely devoid of ambition. Why is she here? Why isn't she the deputy manager of the mid-sized estate agents that is her spiritual home?

Why don't you focus on all the positive things they're doing? Like working to improve people's access to dentists?
(No, you still can't get an NHS Dentist, why do you ask?)

I'm at the point where the biggest response my MP has given to my letters is a long Facebook status explaining that they'll ignore emails that keep referring to the same issue.

My Student Loan repayment plan is "Live to 65"

Always interesting, as a freelancer who's largely living gig to gig, to find out what you'll actually say "No" to.

Want to read me writing about the book About a Place in the Kinki Region? How about more movie blurbs than you can shake a stick at? You can do all that and more in the latest issue of Exploits!

I knew I liked Cillian

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.
