I would love to do a replay sometime! I don't play it for many many years.

Forgot Lineage 2, which was important to me but… I got so addicted to it that I flunked some exams at college.

Portal 😍 I spent hours creating levels too and then sending it to a friend who agreed to test them.

Yeees! It would be cool if there was a real board game of it!

It's missing some, but…

9 important games to me.

I'm very sad to see her go… 🙁

The nice metaphor that I had written for the story but that doesn't fit it anymore.

Happy birthday!!!!

Yeeey! Awesome!!! Can't wait for it!

Cover of CLUB CONTANGO by Boey. Amazing art work by Nickolej Villiger shows four well-dressed Southeast Asian individuals in an underground trading club. Colour scheme is dark yellow and brown. "Boey, how much did you borrow from your own experiences, for the loser Connie?" "A lot. I am quite a bit of a loser, just ask my Dad."

The horrors persist whilst I try to find a good time for book promo of a 📵cautionary📵 story🙅‍♀️ I wrote on betting on human futures, that grew into a ✨self-affirming✨ novel about a loser who bet against **herself** but finds self-love, community, and union power 💪⚒️ And dumplings and all that jazz 🥟

Deeply honored to be 😍 @locusmag.bsky.social Official 🤩

I am once again asking USians to consider why it bothers you so much that we are taking "America" back to mean the continent instead of just your country. We call you USians because WE ARE ALSO AMERICANS.

Today is the last day to submit your Nebula ballot! Don't forget to vote in the things you loved in 2025!

So nice to see initiatives like Emmie's spotlight. I was honored to be on it with several stories reviewed and I'm overjoyed that her favorite was "The Offer of Peace Between Two Worlds", because it often goes underlooked.

PS.: I have a novella and a novel written in that universe! (Not published)

I love this, Emmie! Thank you for the opportunity and for creating this space. It is very important! ❤️

New issue of the Hyperspace is now out, and no one better to travel through the Hyperspace than @thesuiway.bsky.social, who recently published The Iron Garden Sutra by @erewhonbooks.bsky.social. 🚀

Hahaha! Loved it! It's almost an entire post/tweet by itself.

In times of microblogging constraining characters, I need to remember that titles like "Disgraced Return of the Kap's Needle" and "The Hungry Mouth at the Edge of Space and the Goddess Knitting at Home" and "Complete Log of Week 893819 - Dana's Story" do me no favor 😁

(But I like them!)

It is the year 2065. The major AI companies all go bankrupt.

Humans rendered themselves so dependent of outsourcing their cognitive capacity to AI chatbots that they lost the essential human ability of writing prompts.

See featured story in page 32 for what grieving chatbots have to say.

Thank you, Jordan!!! Very happy to be mentioned in your favorites of 2025.

And in case you haven't checked yet, Jordan has published a beautiful and powerful novella in 2025 too. Go check it out!
