Alien Clay by @aptshadow.bsky.social is a timely parable about the tension between scientific exploration and top-down government control. One imagines that Lysenko would have been at home in the novel's government … as would many of our politicians. Review: hugoclub.blogspot.com/2024/07/plan...

Most of the way through @aptshadow.bsky.social 's Service Model at the mo and the inevitable failure of tortuous logic in it is both amusing but so, so, worryingly plausible. A great "sorbet" book to cleanse the palate between series.... recommend.

Just written a spectacularly trippy section for the new book.

I dream of a future where spiders and house centipedes can sit down peacefully together. Or whatever they’d do instead of sitting.

house centipedes are your pals - also, they love to eat spiders, so if you’re not a fan of spiders…

Loved Service Model by @aptshadow.bsky.social a beautiful thoughtful look at robots, society, logic, justice and its pitfalls - review to come but a brilliant book to chew over

The Muppetting Dead

Look I love the muppets but every time I see a full bodied Kermit with useable legs that isn’t a muppet baby I go into fight or flight lol

So in Baldur's Gate 3 you can get the buff "Forbidden Knowledge", which gives you +1 to all skills. Which is kind of just "General Knowledge."

The invulnerably powerful love to cosplay being the underdog.

The only phone game I play is Slay The Spire, trying the daily once each day. I just want to record for posterity that today was the most absolute BS win I ever pulled off, ending up with 2hp and only defeating the twins Donu and Deca because of Corpse Explosion. Not in any way deserved.

If you come to BS and are going to DM people - especially soliciting something, please at least give yourself a name, wait until you've made a few posts, give some context or information about yourself...

A forthcoming @aptshadow.bsky.social Narrated by @emmanewman.bsky.social ! (who has narrated for Adrian before and is an awesome narrator in addition to being a fantastic writer).

Spookies #warhammercommunity Nighthaunt figures really showing off the limits of the medium.

With the advent of Skaventide I suppose the Kruleboyz’ time in the sun, so to speak, is over. They were a fun faction to paint. Hope to see more in the fullness of time.
