I hated it in High School, but I'm not going to lie.... I dig some Living La Vida Loca nowadays. I especially like to fuck with people and boost it in any place I'm at with a TouchTunes jukebox.

In my opinion, if you trust me, we will escape from the city.

Trying to do a silhouette style cover for my short story, but any vector stock that might be a suitable is AI labeled... and I can't draw, so I'm left with only one option.

I'm 3d printing posable dummies that I'm going to take a picture of and I'm going to trace over them. Good luck, me!

The pope could do something really fucking funny.

1. First genuine WTF was basically the end of Phantasy Star 2 where all the heroes die at the end.

2. In hindsight, the reveal that you are Reven in KOTOR 1 is super obvious, but it was really well done at the time.

3. The ending to Mass Effect 3, and not in a good way.

"Art...?"
"Your wife is home!"
"...and your house is on fire!"

MY WIFE IS HOME?!

Learning to typeset my own book in Affinity Publisher 2 over my lunch break and realizing I've been "at lunch" for two hours.

I took a picture of my iPad with my Pixel phone like a real maniac. It's a screen from Pandora playing the song M4, Pt. 2 by Faunts

Nostalgia for that feeling when this song hit my ears for the very first time when the end credits to "Mass Effect" started to roll.

Show somebody who absolutely rocks a hat and isn't Indiana Jones.

Do you have any of the giant individually wrapped Oreos from the late 80s? I remember those being my go to as a kid back when we still had a corner grocery store.

Also if anyone out there is friends with the band Blood Ceremony, please ask them to re-release The Eldritch Dark on vinyl for me.

I have two copies of this in my vinyl collection and am on the hunt for Black Harvest. 💚 🤘

I remember going into the computer room at my house... because we had those then.. because I wanted to play Diablo, just in time to see a lady get a garden spade shoved down her throat.

Phantasmagoria was the only game my parents played that I couldn't be in the room for.

Gabriel Knight 2 was great. I still remember "Blood sausage, head cheese, pig innards.... mmm-mmm."

Ripper was also peak. Burgess Meredith, Christopher Walken, Karen Allen, John Rhys-Davis. Blue Oyster Cult.

Ugh! The distorted AI voice ads for TikTok that play on Pandora makes me want to commit violence.

As someone who's been programming since I was 7 on an Apple 2+ I can confidently say:

We should kill computer.

Your Story Made it to the Finals! "The Hardest Ghost to Kill..." has reached the Final Showdown. Congratulations on making it this far. writingbattle.com | @writingbattle

In the second (of 8) @writingbattle.bsky.social contests I've committed myself to this year, I am once again genuinely surprised I made it through to the Final Showdown on Sunday.

For flash fiction in the genre of Paranormal Romance even! WTAF?!

BAT!"

Lol this guy has a 7 digit ICQ? What a child.

But it's Bandcamp Friday. So I'm going to retail therapy myself some vinyl.

Got "Um, Actually'd" on an otherwise very friendly writing forum this morning because I spoke of Forums and Social Media like they are two different things.

Which has just fueled me with rage for the rest of the day.

Your Story Finished in the Top 64! "Jerry Was a Bare-Knuckle Fighter" finished in the top 64 for your genre. You're among the top entries in the competition. - Writing Battle

This is an absolutely lovely way to say:

"You got murdered in the first round of the finals, kid."

I made it farther than I initally expected. Which is great!

But then I got to the finals and was like "Sure hope I win a round in the finals."

I'm absolutely floored! My first writing competition. Literally the first time putting myself out there like that.

I'm over the moon! Both figuratively and literally. I'm over it. The moon. It needs to go.
