Tomorrow, for Valentines Day, I dive into what turned out to be the very serious topic of trope-turned-reality of AI Relationships. Check it out on SciFi Camp; scificamp.substack.com

Chapter 10 has finally been released. If you've been enjoying the story so far; please like, leave a comment, or subscribe. It really helps keep me motivated to keep writing and not have six week absences. #SciFriday #StellarEmpire open.substack.com/pub/stellare...

@thepwhl.com the Fox Valley Ice Arena in Geneva, IL is losing its USHL club (Chicago Steel) to the Blackhawks training arena… just putting out there I’d love to have a women’s hockey team in Chicagoland, and there’s an arena open now… 🫣😅😆

Merry Christmas!

Now that the Chiefs have lost football, Swifties should start rooting for the Chicago Bears 🐻 we have our own amazing Swift! #PlayasGunnaPlay

I’m finally back on the SciFriday wagon. Chapter 9 was an incredibly hard one to write, it’ll change a couple times more before the final publish. Please consider giving it a read & dropping in some feedback. The only way I get better is by learning from my audience! substack.com/@sears/note/...

@nativephp.com is there any GameCenter/Google Play Games API’s in the works. I know you announced the Mobile Plugins and I could try to glue Swift/Kotlin into a GameCenter PHP class … but … uhh … I’m seriously hoping you guys have something in the works 🫣

70 years of Disney, and once again, The Rocketeer and Tron get snubbed…

I’ve been watching Dashcam/Bodycam videos at night to fall asleep… and I’m starting to wonder if the “Ohio man” is the new “Florida man” — because they’re crazy ya’ll…

Which one was me? 🫣 imgs.xkcd.com/comics/servi...

This was such a fun chapter to write. Taking a break from the war to visit Declanian home life was something I really wanted to do and combining it with Kele’s dismissal was perfect timing for it. Check it out, and let me know what you think!

2 - 2 Full Time for Arsenal … so close, so close! @arsenalfc.bsky.social

The best thing about starting a new month? Putting in a new pair of contacts…

@pronskiy.bsky.social I started trying out Junie after we talked at Laracon. I still feel like it struggles some, but I’ll keep trying it. I signed up for the paid one after all so I might as well, ha ha.

I need to look around Bluesky more, I was wondering if @jetbrains.com was here -- they are. And if @pronskiy.bsky.social is here -- he is. This is starting to really feel like the Twitter replacement I wanted it to be.

It's my birthday, so we're soft announcing our plans to release Wilderness Dice Duel as a follow up to our Wilderness Dice game. You can read more about the game, our reasoning behind it, and our potential crowd-funding campaign for it. Available on my Substack: open.substack.com/pub/sears/p/...

Looking for a science fiction story released weekly? Check out my novella Republic Ascendant on Substack. My first novella, Born of Ash and Iron is there too! stellarempire.substack.com/p/republic-a...

ICYMI, over the last 3 weeks I covered the "Camp" in SciFi Camp, along with how 'Camp' turns into 'Cult' classics. Wednesday I finished off with 'Cult' turning into 'Cheese'. Give all three a read, and subscribe if you love SciFi or you like the cut of my jib. scificamp.substack.com/p/from-scifi...

If you like Science Fiction and Short Stories, I have one going live at noon. This was kinda a last-minute decision to write this yesterday as an apology to our subscribers for missing SciFriday on Substack. open.substack.com/pub/stellare...

Do you think they have a water shortage!? 😂🤣😂

We're a third of the way through our planned chapters! We're working hard to keep the weekly pace.

Let me know if you like these kinds of posts, and I can do more dives into our creative process and what it looks like to not only build games, but a universe as well.

You should always get rescue golfers.

BORN of ASH and IRON This sci-fi novella is live on our Stellar Empire substack! Read chapter 1 NOW and subscribe for Chapter 2 coming THIS FRIDAY! stellarempire.substack.com

The message of this trailer seems to be don't play outside with your friends with toys. Also, don't look before entering a road...

So thankful for @robfike.com's ability to turn the vision in my head into an illustration. After much discussion and further refinement, we took a simple description into a really cool looking alien. There is more about their biology on our Stellar Empire wiki! substack.com/@fike/note/c...

OVI TIES GRETZKY!!!

So McDonalds is worried we're trying to feed the Mogwai?

It's Sci-Friday over on Substack, and I have started a new short story. Chapter One is available now! Follow Lucas Loverso as he learns about managed Democracy! sears.substack.com/p/diving-dee...

It's no secret that I'm a big fan of @headandtheheart.bsky.social ... I know I'm like a week late, but their new single 'Time With My Sins' is _so good_! I also found out (by actually searching) that they're on Bluesky!

Just finished my book on Audible, and the preview for Andy Weir's 'Project Hail Mary' came on ... read by Ray Porter ... I'm sorry, but Ray Porter will always be Joseph Bridgeman to me. 😂

My two favorite teams, head-to-head! Going to be a great night 🏒 #RockTheRed

My best friend @robfike.com loves basketball… I watched some at BW3’s last night; I don’t understand how men who are paid millions to put balls in undefended holes miss those holes so frequently! 🫣🤔🙄😂

Post kid concert celebration 🥳

I’m a big fan of Genki products, glad they’re tackling power supplies now! Also love the Nasapunk look igg.me/at/genkimoon...

My #AppleIntelligence conversation this morning; Apple: Try the new Siri! Me: [click 'Ok'] Siri: What do you need? Me: Nothing, you sent me a message to try you out, I'm all good. Siri: Who would you like me to message? Me: So, you're still struggling with that natural language thing, huh? Siri: ...

My wife just said she wanted us to pick out a Christmas movie… I said, Star Wars Empire Strikes Back, because it takes place in snow. To which she replied, ‘then let’s watch The Thing.’ Which I have to admit, I’m on board with that. So in my book now, The Thing is a Christmas movie.
