Hey folks! I'm happy to announce that the last major draft for The Lost Nation Saga Vol. 2 has been completed Whilst still in the process of doing edits, I'll be adding the illustrations and I'm hoping to release it before the very end of 2026! #writing #books

I normally don't like to take potshots, but watching 3 different indie horror movies Iron Lung, The Backrooms and Obsession completely destroy Shelby Oaks critically and financially is hilarious. "I worked hard on this" and YouTube stardom is not a valid selling point. Git gud. #movies #film

R.I.P to Tom Kane. The man's filmography was truly stunning, but I will always remember his intros getting me pumped for each episode of the Clone Wars. I'm so happy he got a good send-off with the pilot episode of The Bad Batch. ~See you space cowboy #StarWars

I can't express enough how excited I am to start serializing Volume 3. My saga has been in the "ancient" arc since 2021, but the "modern" arc is where it all began in 2009, and now we're here at last! I'm almost tempted to retitle Vol 1. and 2. as the "Ancient Duology" but meh...too lazy.

The annoying thing with doing scale-accurate character sheets is that I'm now working with a CSP project which is 14k in size. I need to upgrade my PC's RAM but....that's not happening anytime soon with these inflated prices LOL

D2D is pulling out the subscriptions. $12/yr isn't the worst, but still annoying. I'm so glad I spent the last 5 years teaching myself how to create ebooks and formatting PDFs instead of being dependent on others. I will NEVER bow to trad publishers. Knowledge is freedom! #books #selfpublishing

Jacob Geller's video about Michael Heizer's "City" really got me thinking; someone spent 50 years building a massive sculpture only a few dozen people are allowed to see each year. I relate to this in some way. Sometimes people create, not to compete in the rat race, but just because- #art

With everything we once owned constantly being taken away and put behind a subscription paywall, are we shocked that one of the most evil "human" beings in recent history was also behind the popularization of microtransactions? Wouldn't shock me if @adobe.com was in the Epstien files atp
