Signed up for Fright Reads!

Danged if I know whether BANSHEE BEACH will be ready at that point, but the Fermi Resolution Worldbook absolutely will be. September 13th and 14th, and praise GOD but Frightreads will be at the Howard County Fairgrounds this year. This is a site that’s easy to get to, will have better food opportunities, and – most importantly – decent parking. I liked the old site well enough, but the parking there is hideous.

If you can’t wait, please: buy my books now.

Pssst! Hey, buddy: looking for cassette-era filk archives?

Here ya go. Got tipped the wink on this one by a fellow-enthusiast who saw me bemoaning the lack of a real archive for filk music. There’s just, like, tons of stuff out there on cassette that might as well be in another dimension for all we can interact with it. And you can’t blipping buy it, either. Even Firebird Art’s just gone, man, like tears in rain.

Damn, now I’m sad.

Yet more snow tonight.

Hopefully only a little, but the words ‘black ice’ are now showing up in advisories. The weather around here is hovering just around freezing during the day, and colding up at night, and the kids are already at a two hour delay for tomorrow. Fortunately, we’re still good on staples, because going out seems dumb right now.

Oh, and Backerkit thinks I’m likely to fund my upcoming Fermi Resolution Workbook project, now. That’s cool.

HELLDIVERS 2 to get god-awful movie adaptation.

…In your heart, you know I’m right: “The hit video game Helldivers 2 is getting the feature film treatment! Sony Pictures announced the project during their CES 2025 press conference.” It’s going to be very exciting, really. My eldest loves Helldivers 2, and hasn’t really experienced yet the special pain that comes when a movie studio takes one of your favorite video games, and drops it feet-first into a wood chipper. The life lesson will be good for his development, really.

PS: Trust me, I could have been considerably more… visceral …in that imagery.

DungeonDraft proof of concept.

Yeah, I was able to buy it after all. All I had to do was go on a video call with other creators, kvetch a little about how I wasn’t able to, and then the magic spell took effect and suddenly I could buy it. Note that I’m not actually embarrassed by that: everybody on the call was intimately aware of the phenomenon.

Anyway, first map. I can tell right now that Dungeon Draft will work fine, once I figure out what assets to acquire. I don’t need fancy, I just need floor plans.
