    Cadance of Cloudsdale (so far) now in Spanish!

    Thanks to the generous SPANIARD KIWI, the text of Cadance of Cloudsdale so far is now in Spanish! Mr. Kiwi has done a tremendous amount of work translating many of my stories into Spanish, but this goes above and beyond. If you're curious, you may visit the project so far here at this

    Happy Cadance Day 2024!

    Things feel a bit subdued today, due to the coincidence of Valentine's Day and Ash Wednesday through a quirk of the liturgical calendar. It is somewhat difficult to juxtapose the splash of corporate-encouraged love with the festival that literally exists to remind us of our mortality. The pink of Valentine's washes against the purple of Lent. So I'm in a pensive mood, more so than usual on this

    Ciderfest is a wrap!

    Just got home from PVCF and it was an amazing con experience! The minific-based ARG that circulated around the con the whole weekend was high-concept, and I was worried about engagement, but everyone seemed to really get into searching out the hard-to-find stories concealed around the convention hall (in places as obscure as "the desktop wallpaper on one of the monitors in the video game room,

"Them's Fightin' Herds" for free on the Epic Games Store! · 1:55am Dec 20th, 2022

This only lasts until midmorning Tuesday on 12/20, so I guess you're outta luck if you don't see this yet Monday or Tuesday morning, but for those mathematically small numbers of people who (a) are interested (b) haven't bought it and (c) even see this at all, this is your chance!

Thanks for the head's up. I am now the proud owner of a new game.

Already bought it off Steam last Christmas, I'm afraid. Seems I need not apply.

Still a neat deal! If anyone reading this is about to delve into the game for the first time, I hope you enjoy it — I know I have! (And that's even in spite of me sucking at it!)

Yay! I'm Mathematically Small! <party cannon confetti blast noise>

Honestly, I've always been kind of interested in a "I don't give a flying feather about fighting games but it might be kind of neat to see what those folks actually created" way for years, so this is the price point I've been waiting for. I somehow have an Epic account from... something... with no games attached to it so I might as well.

Thanks for the PSA, Skywriter.

Thanks for the heads-up! I have basically no interest in or ability at fighting games, but this fighting game is a slight exception -- at least when it's free -- so I've picked it up. I have played ye olde Fighting is Magic and I was terrible at that too, so it'll be interesting to see if there are any new ways in which I can now be terrible. :pinkiehappy:
