Obviously I need to catch up on my reading.

If it makes you feel any better the big thing I’m working on I’ve retooled twice so far and I’m 2 Chapters into it as well. Here we go with the rewrites.

Yep, very familiar with it. It's one of the inspirations lol.

Finally saw the first episode. All I can say is: 😂😂

We actually have fiber run to the main house of the property but I’m on the backside of it so it’s WiFi repeaters. i think when we get to spring I’m just going to bury some CAT and be done with it.

It’s amazing how even when somewhat planned a story and the characters can take a life of their own and kinda dictate the finer plot points lol

I’m here kind of writing in the background. I’ve been a little busy this week irl too so I’m using that as an excuse to not feel lazy for not having some chapters out. Let me tell you completing Encrypted ended up making me feel like I had this huge weight lifted off my shoulders, great reviews wonderful feed back I couldn’t have asked for more. Ill be back into it here soon, just trying to get some new network gear in so I don’t lose internet when the wind blows the tree outside 😂

Damn this is one that has “Almost Home” by shadowgod. I remember getting to read it before it was submitted I still get the chills from it. All of these are old school works that definitely need the reread or first reads.

That works, I’m like 8 chapters behind in this one I need to catch up.

Take a break if nothing else. I don’t know about retirement, because an idea may come when your supposed to be retired lol.

Thanks, it's only going to get worse from here. 😂

I hope I can continue to trick you into reading other sci-fi/thriller things because I have a list going. I'm happy it brought you enjoyment though, that's the main thing.

Thank you!

If I ever work out a suitable plot then yeah lol.

Oh my that banner... 😂

This isn't a love story. But it could be if you twist it enough. Everything about this story is twisted though, from Kieran's growth into someone he didn't think he could be, the silent mentor that carves this new creation with a quiet kind of blunt force and fear. It's a deep read, but one worth while.

That's going to be an interesting one. As for this story, it ended a lot better than I thought it would. I love the King vs God bit, I think I said something about that in a comment somewhere. I think I liked Kier a lot better after this chapter than the previous, but that kinda started with his reaction to Matty. It feels like he learned to merge those two halves of him into something that wasn't so...Ben. Ben thinks that having a "heart" of any kind is a weakness, when in reality it's a strength. It allows you to pick your strikes, instead of just burning the entire field. Moments of mercy can do more for loyalty than outright fear, and perhaps that's just something Ben never learned. Or just gave up on. I knew Ben would be able to get out of the legal stuff though because well, you know lol. The bit about texting Lee at the end, totally didn't expect that one though. But yeah looking forward to the next one.

I was typing one handed on an iPhone Pro max and I’ve got medium sized to small hands (and before someone makes a size comment no I was blessed enough in other areas) and trying to hammer it out quickly. Auto correct failed I tried to wipe it out and fix it then that failed so I gave up and hit send anyway and just never got around to fixing it lmao. 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

I now need to create a super villain named Lord Benedict because that “daddy” turned into “daddy Benedict” which turned into “father Benedict” which made me think of a priest that said “kneel before me my son.” Which turned into Lord Benedict because the dialogue now includes “I SAID KNEEL!” with angry Palpatine finger lighting. No joke this is how story ideas evolve in my head, Just one word and we end up here.

I can see the appeal of this. 😂

I haven’t played it. I didnt t think I’d like it but I’ve been seeing YouTube videos and apparently I’d love it.

Never tried it at a bar, it always happened when I was doing stuff like waiting for a bus or riding the train to or from work 😂

You tried which shows a willingness and that does count.

Now I really want to watch it. Such polar opposites I have to measure it for myself. I’m fine with straight dudes doing gay things. It’s not like I haven’t searched for that exact situation on the internet before. 😇🙄😂

The numbers for Trump would still be the same probably as it really happened. But with the addition of Canada that would add 54 seats to the house of representatives (and thus 54 electoral votes) and add 2 in the senate, and raise the simple majority in the electoral college from 270 votes to 297. Yes I already did the research for some reason. @Topher Lydon if you want a suggestion keep the electoral math the same as the real 2024 except flip 2 swing states Michigan and either Wisconsin or Ohio (but not both) and if you want your brawl have it happen over there. And if you do need the “brawl” then think about flipping Michigan due to the automotive industry getting disrupted due to whatever supplier problem you wanna invent on the Canadian side. Ohio could go that way too for almost the same reason. Just a thought.
