Love my bestie getting art like this

It's finally out: New Edge Sword & Sorcery Magazine #5, featuring my contribution "Staku-ra's Hoard" - in which a seaside waitress joins a crew of reprobates (her ex among them) on the hunt for a cursed treasure! Please enjoy this piratical adventure! newedgeswordandsorcery.com/product/new-...

I would enjoy this movie so much more.

Gonna also be honest! Being an online dweeb into what I'm into has slowly curdled me whenever the fucking topic of the middle ages comes up.

Reactionaries love talking about “knowing history” when what they mean is being indoctrinated into a founding myth. It truly unites all nationalists, from Albion to Zion.

I grew up with Tolkien and Lord of the Rings and I'm generally comfortable at my current age of going "He was a nice man and I am fond of these books" I just think he's also a titanic fucking dweeb and everything Moorcock says about him in Epic Pooh is true and also I think his metaphysics suck.

In ancient Mesopotamia, astronomers needed to know the moon’s position, even on a cloudy night. So they made records and calculations of the moon’s positions and velocity measured in degrees. This record from Uruk or Babylon from the Seleucid period covers 248 days. 📸 by Dr K. Wagensonner

Solomon Kane's the most compelling Robert E. Howard protagonist to me personally because I am legitimately fascinated by the history of Protestantism and the whole "I will chase you across the world and kill your ass in the name of my cold and humorless god" is super badass.

Fucking idiot

My biggest take away with "Dungeons and Dragons has gone woke" people is they never have a particularly good leg to stand on because I also think they've got absolute dogshit aesthetics.

Once you hit 1:52 here we're talking perfection for me In the name of Jesus Christ, won't you fear my name I've been around since Moses, your preacher never came

/Getting chastised about sex stuff by Nicole Kidman in her camisole/underwear outfit from Eyes Wide Shut "Yeah, yeah, for sure, I hear you but I have to go rent a mask and robe thing. It's for sex-related reasons but not what you're talking about. It's way worse. But let's circle back."

Please help

Pharaoh: Total War is scratching a very specific itch for certain stylized Bronze Age aesthetics right now. But oh man if somebody could make me a good Mesopotamian-focused strategy game right at the arrival of Persia/twilight of the Neo-Assyrian empire? I'd REALLY respond to that.

Saw another person share "We have spent far too much time culturally with anti-heroes" and man I gotta tell everybody something I just profoundly don't trust is when I hear leftists start saying shit like that.

LOL I actually got into an argument along these lines a few months ago and I still chuckle over it.

Rod Dreher's various conversions always make me howl because he's the perfect symbol for "reactionary guy flitting between denominations entirely due to the aesthetics."

I've said this before and I'll say it again: Everybody joking about tradcaths is working a little under heavy amounts of cope.

“Dasha fired by Gersh.” You bolt awake on the banks of the Danube. You are not online. It is 1241 CE and you are Batu Khan. Western Civilization must not come to pass.

One of the few things I get kinda prickly about with fantasy writing as a whole is I think the vaguely irrational avoidance of firearms. Which seems really basic of me! But I think that's a real sign of certain types of RPG brain filtering into things.

I like Gunn and I think a V for Vendetta television series sounds fucking BAD! Don't do it! Also I think the Wachowski adaptation also fucking sucks! Sorry friends I support those girls but I also think they're fucking stupid.

"I bet Elon Musk never even read The Culture" I bet he has! If anything the doubters always strike me as the types to have an overinflated sense of media literacy's actual worth. A lot of people are just kinda stupid and bad and would just shrug at any other political messaging.

Somebody I like said Predator: Badlands doesn't quite work because it's hard to make a compelling main character out of the bad guys. And not to be a titanic dork but I actually don't think of the Yautja as bad! And yes I also call them Yautja(as is proper)

Folks this is NOT a drill, the big official long-awaited Charles Saunders biography finally has a locked-in title and release date and is open for pre-orders. www.amazon.ca/Leave-Warrio...

Sorry to be a hater but only one of these was an actual good movie.

Now Crowdfunding This Kickstarter brings Clark Ashton Smith’s legendary Zothique cycle, a cornerstone of sword & sorcery and dying-earth fantasy, faithfully to life through two unprecedented projects: The Complete Illustrated Omnibus + The Zothique RPG Collection. angusabranson.com/2025/10/23/n...

My judgment is the product of years of observation thank you. TV Tropes is terrible for consumers and artists alike. When authors start to talk about the "tropes" in their work I want to die. Trope-think is reductive and flattening. Art is more than the sum of its parts. At least it should be

This sounds real reductive but First Blood is actually my least favorite Rambo movie because he's not killing people.

This is actually something that eats me! I'm sorry but I can't help it! It's legitimately made me bitter in a truly profound way. I'm not even saying "I'm against the marches!" I'm in Europe I've got no leg to stand on. I just think if more radical leftists act pissy you don't deserve to get mad.

i get a lot of compliments on color and i'm so grateful for the kind words but i gotta be real with everyone i mostly pick variations on red blue and yellow. sometimes it's orange turquoise ochre, scarlet purple gold, rose pewter cream, but it's always red blue yellow

Whispеr to me love of mine I'm here by your side Eternally I'll rest with you When death gives you a ride No more words that I can write A vision in the mist My last breath you stood by me and gently kissed My lips

After 13 years as first a contract writer, then a salaried writer, then a lead writer, then a senior writer at InXile Entertainment, I have been laid off. I had a great time while I was there, and I am sad to go, but as they say, every ending is a new beginning, so here's me, beginning again.
