I never seem to keep all of this going, do I?

But here I am, Civviq Writer. I am still alive! My time - and drive - have just been dissolved by the exams. They still are being dissolved, by the way. But I'm doing fine. To be honest, I haven't been writing much, and if anything it's mostly for myself, for practice. I think I can say that I have improved a bit.

Okay, normally it takes a very special FIMFic story to move me to either upvote it or downvote it. Askre and I have talked about this subject a few times outside of FIMFiction, but in the context of snap judging a story without reading it. I’ve expressed my extreme distaste for people who hit that thumb up/thumb down button based on their own bias towards the subject matter. I am sure all of us have been there…seeing some tags just push our buttons the wrong way, whether it be on the subjects

Leftists... yeah, no one in their right mind would be a leftist.

Recently, Present Perfect shared a link to Meadowmood’s art/blog about how deaf or mute ponies might communicate, and it reminded me to finish this blog on communication.

While I was putting up a new story for publication, I got distracted (as is wont, oh hey, my drinks empty brb) by the series tag. As most of you probably already know, when you post a story, you have to choose a series tag of which series that piece is fanfiction. Conveniently, when typing in the proper tags, it also shows the number of times that tag has been used.

My brother bought Shadowrun for the SNES, and I now found myself semi-obsessed with its 16-bit soundtrack. I downloaded a ROM of it and started a game through an emulator on my smart phone. I'm not shelling $60 bucks for an old console... At least, not right now.

Erm, anyway. What I'm trying to get as is that I feel like (retro) cyberpunk-type music, so that's what this post is gonna comprise of. Maybe next time I'll do a fantasy-themed music post. Or something piratey. I like pirates.

Yep, still playing games from my childhood. I figure I'll do some of these in one because they would be pretty short.

Someone on Reddit posted this picture today as clever social commentary on the election, but a lot of people were confused – why are these books in the non-fiction section?

This seemed a little blank so instead of having an empty blog thing forever I'm just gonna show off some art I made for Shadow of a Doubt.

We recorded this last night. I just finished editing it, and I burnt my hot dog. Well that gives this episode a good omen. Remember kinds, don't cook and work. This week we continue reading "Letters From an Irritated Princess" by Tired Old Man.

I watched the sun rise at midnight.

I watched an impossible dawn.

I watched an explosion so far away it took half a minute for me to hear it and it still rattled my bones.

I watched as, for the first time, humanity reached a milestone on a quest to live on other worlds.

A while back--and I can’t be bothered to check my notes or my blog posts where I might or might not have announced that this was a thing that I was going to do--I mentioned that I was catching up on some of the Prompt-A-Days that I missed back in the day.

I seem to recall someone complaining that it was going to be a second-person fic.

Deal with it, someone.

No seriously I've been locked in my room forced to code, what year is it? But, work aside I come bearing a new episode HUZZAH!

Fuck it. Here’s a thesis in two parts that literally nobody will like, ‘cause y’all fucking cowards.

• Being featured isn’t actually that hard. That’s how you get a popular story.
• Being featured ultimately doesn’t fucking matter. That’s not how you get famous.
