Meet the cast of Dead Mona by D. J. Runnelsβ Confessions of a cranky murder victim. Ghost mystery satire. Especially satire. Think Kurt Vonnegut and Douglas Adams. Yes, really.

I've been drawing everything on my tablet for so long now that when I picked up a real pencil to do this chapter header it felt a bit weird holding a real pencil again!

Mandarin Duck (Aix galericulata): This duck species is native to Asia and is distinguished by its stunning plumage. Many birds have escaped from collections and there are now 7000 living wild in the UK & large populations in Germany & USA. Terrific image taken by Norman Rice in Nottinghamshire, UK.

I'd be very worried if Raven was crying. She hardly ever does, and you know it's very serious. Probably best to get Trig to take her sword away. He's also the only one that can comfort her. Trig doesn't cry a lot but is more likely to get upset. He needs hugs and comfort food.

To be honest I found Darkwing Duck a bit too easy. Once you learned the patterns it was a doddle and the game was quite generous with health and lives.

So after some discussions I may have inattentive type ADHD and my mind is blown. Going to get tested for it but reading on the traits of it and.. it explains so much. Kind of feeling some relief because if it is true it means I'm not as abnormal as I thought I was...

St. Canard has suffered a crime spree perpetrated by the nefarious criminal organisation F.O.W.L! You play as Darkwing Duck as you stop the villains and recover the loot.

It feels like there's something missing, like a lack of open world games with lots of side missions. Games like Fallout, Skyrim, Far Cry, etc

That was me last night. Authors have learned the trick of writing short 2-3 page chapters. The book I'm currently reading has 300 pages and 80+ chapters.

The real focus is the people, people trying to find identity, people trying to find people they've lost. People just trying to live in brutal conditions.

This is absolutely nuts. Hey game journos - time to stop covering Ubisoft! If they are going to embargo negative news that impacts employees, you don't need to preserve access to their marketing channels. Hey, gamers - time to stop buying Ubisoft games! They don't deserve your money or attention.

For my new book I want the undead to be a factor, something that is constantly present and could become a catastrophe but is lost amongst the other many risks.

My Space Academy series was sort of envisioned by the thought experiment of, "What if I combined Mass Effect 's Commander Shepard with Silly Hawke from Dragon Age 2?" The results were...interesting.

One of the things that inspired my new book are the feral ghouls of Fallout. It's strange how everyone acknowledges they exist but to the people they're just another danger in a long list of many.

A good use of AI would be fighting corruption. AI can monitor the finances of politicians and corporations daily. The technology exists. The will doesn't. They will prefer using it to catch poor people stealing in supermarkets.

Happy Yuyuko Tuesday! ngl I watched a trailer for a game called Lie of Caelum: Spirit, and it looks super cool! It's a mech RPG that has an awesome looking graphical aesthetic, it looks like a banger and I'd love to play it! I hope you have a wonderful day, I send love and positivity your way πβΊοΈ

Fallout massively inspired me, Fallout 3 came as a surprise, I wasn't expecting such a world when I first played it even though I came to it from Oblivion.
