- Stayed up WAY too late playing this last night. Absolutely hypnotic. It’s like doing archaeology but on literature. And tangled family relationships. And possibly reality itself. Oh, and every now and again your spade develops sentience and tries to entomb you.

- Leigh Brackett was so goddamn cool. (From an excellent essay on her by @corabuhlert.bsky.social in issue 7 of the @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social magaizine.)

- Ate a waffle 12 feet away from Danny John Jules.
- I would like to request a new layer of Hell specifically for hotels that turn on TruMotion/Motion Smoothing on their TVs and then lock you out of the settings that would allow you to turn it off.
- Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words. But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.
- It was deeply cathartic to be asked to contribute some thoughts to this piece on the use of LLM chatbots in NPC dialogue. And a privilege to be among such insightful company. Very grateful to @samuelhorti.bsky.social for giving us so much breadth and depth to discuss such a hefty topic.

- Our boiler broke at the weekend, and our house was FREEZING. But a very nice man called Barry from British Gas came around and fixed it. Anyway today I got a text asking for feedback on Barry, and possibly I shouldn’t reply to these things while still loopy on painkillers from root-canal.

- It‘s always a treat to talk to @erionmakuo.bsky.social in-depth about her work. In Mandrake, character design, writing, and illustration are so tightly knotted that it’s impossible to tell where one ends and the next begins. Tons of gorgeous art in the link! store.steampowered.com/news/app/371...
