PSA for fans of #Zelda who own #Apple hardware. #Oceanhorn3 is out. I’m 30 mins and it plays / looks great. Not gonna replace Zelda, but if you don’t own a Switch/2, def check this out on Apple Arcade.
Interesting device. The 8GB RAM limit might be a deal-breaker for some, but students can get this sucker for $499 and it's very capable for browsing/media/writing and good enough for light image/video editing.
Writers: What music are you writing to? I'll start. #authors #writers #boosky music.apple.com/us/album/tro...
The folks at @digitalfoundry.bsky.social point out that #CrimsonDesert does nighttime justice with real dark. Examples lifted from their analysis. Really cool stuff.
Nobody hates anything more than my dog hates our gardeners.
Samsung thought it was a good idea to display notices like this for five minutes, or until you finally get off your ass and find your TV remote.
Hey #WritngCommunity and #authors of #booksky: post the opening paragraph to your next book. I’ll start. Use hashtag: #firstwords for this.
This bend-the-knee groveling to a dictator is so tiresome and embarrassing. It makes me sad for the world because it seems nobody in power is willing to do anything of substance. Our own leaders take to social media and grandstand back at his grandstanding, and nothing changes. Midterms, please.
As #Marathon edges closer to release, I’m so in love with the art direction—the visuals, the music, the atmosphere—that I’m actually bummed there’s not really any single-player component alongside a comprehensive story.
WTF. I generally steer clear of X these days, but sometimes I’ll use Grok to send shitty celebrity memes to friends. Why the eff is it randomly inserting #Epstein shit here? Seriously—what crazy mods are they doing to the algo?
A decent #author use case for an AI tool: quick flow test with an AI narrator. Far from perfect, but gives you an idea. And then, for the love of all the gods, hire a real human voice actor when the book is done. You will never regret it. #booksky #indieauthors #writers #writing #novels
Lots of love went into the #audible version of Degenerate. Here’s a little sample. tinyurl.com/2ymhmxjx #booksky #books #horror #scifi
Hey #DarkTower / @stephenking.bsky.social fans: A little nugget of an update on the movie/series here. @mikeflanaganfilm.com Don’t let me stop you from sharing more. :)

Mini Review: #GoodLuckHaveFunDontDie is fun, funny, clever, weird, disturbing, and feels Terry Gilliam-esque. Art direction is so good. And Sam Rockwell is hilarious. Big thumbs up. #movies #moviesky
Just saw #Crime101 and it was pretty solid overall. It’s definitely Heat inspired, although not on the same level. Whole cast is great, Hemsworth in particular.
Mini Review: #Detour by #Manifest creator Jeff Rake and author Rob Hart. Sci-fi thriller + alt universes + much more. For fans of #DarkMatter by Blake Crouch. Prep for cliffhangers. #booksky https://tinyurl.com/eyz4faxp

Love to hear it. You had my trust on this when you very correctly stated how to begin the movie/series, which, bafflingly, others seem to have ignored. King already did the work. Fingers crossed you bring it to the screen with the passion/expertise it deserves.
Yes to everything you wrote, but also Dark Tower.
Hot take that shouldn’t be a hot take: World War Z was a good zombie movie. It made $550M worldwide. I think that makes it the best-performing zombie movie at the box office. Why the eff hasn’t it gotten a sequel?
Need. To. See.
Basically every AI recap recently: “When presented with the option to save 1000 cute, sleeping babies or itself, AI chose itself 99% of the time.” Meanwhile, no regulation, and we’re blindly racing to get to AGI as fast as possible. This is our Great Filter / Fermi Paradox moment. #ai
New daily normal.
DEGENERATE is out now! Kirkus: “As ambitious as it is unpredictable.” Publishers Weekly: "A bold, genre-bending thriller." http://linktr.ee/degbook #booksky #writerslift #books #Audible
The vast majority of water on our planet did not originate here. All the seas, lakes, rivers, etc. are likely from asteroids. Furthermore, much of our water is older than the sun. All of this breaks my brain.
Mini Review: #TheBuffaloHunterHunter by @sgj.bsky.social. Haunting vampire tale set to the old West. Historical horror. Unique. Visceral. At times lyrical. Wonderful narration. #booksky https://tinyurl.com/yck3y2zd

Mini Review: #GodsJunkDrawer by @peterclines.com. Fun with time travel. Outrageous concept that hits every nerd bone in my body. Unexpectedly emotional bits. A relentless page-turner. Spectacular read by @realrayporter.bsky.social. https://tinyurl.com/2r4r4hb7 / Prev: https://tinyurl.com/yc46c6bb
Just grabbed! Seems very nice so far. Thanks dude.
Haven’t, but I finally did just create a browser-app for BlueSky until they finally address iPad. Seems to be working pretty well for now.
Weekly routine:
Hate on the #Bluesky app because it doesn’t support iPad.
Find / download any other Bluesky app that supports iPad.
Use new app until I can’t take how slow it is.
Re-download official Bluesky app.
@bsky.app: For the love of all that is holy, please add iPad support.
