  • Cutscenes

Challenge #04559-L175: Highly Dangerous Knowledge

Somewhere amongst the countless rows of musty tomes and ancient manuscripts lies a cruel secret, waiting to be unearthed. -- Anon Guest

Librarians do more than guard knowledge. They also teach, but that's on the surface. They also preserve. The best libraries keep knowledge alive. Even the kinds of knowledge that should also be in a museum.

Clay and stone tablets can endure, but if you really want knowledge to last, scribe it on parchment with iron gall ink, and have it

Tuesday, Patreon, Experts, and Shopping

I may have been contacted by another scammer on Bluesky, but I'm recognising the pattern now.

Step 1: Alleged fellow author contacts me
Step 2: We talk shop for a bit
Step 3: They mention their amazing friend who's a marketing expert and will for sure help people notice my books
Step 4: They provide a contact detail for their amazing friend
Step 5: If pushed, they provide some proof of their prowess that might pass cursory inspection by someone who doesn't

Challenge #04558-L174: Era, Era, Tourist Fhtagn

A fun vacation ends with bringing home a little trinket, a squid headed god seated on a rune covered throne. Only, ever since, my dreams have grown ever stranger as a yearning fills me... -- Anon Guest

Don't touch that! Just... don't touch. Bad things happen to anyone else who touches that. Trust me, okay? You don't want the literally gory details.

Yes, I carry it around with me everywhere. No, I don't know if that's a good idea, but after what

Monday, Backup Reads and Video

The writer's group is meeting again and I'm waiting my turn to read mine. Then when that's done, I get on with commencing the video prep and the rest of my offerings.

Of course I already have a story for the Archive. I'm just Like That(tm).

Nothing too much going on beyond that. I think I shall attempt to do the cutscene art today. I have thought of ways to do some cheaty things and I shall see how that works

Challenge #04557-L173: We Meet Again

Sometimes Wraithvine went to places Bibrid could not go. The dragon, in guise of a gnome, would wait with patience for his friend to return. A small being with a misshapen foot, now older and with a home of their own, was seen hobbling along the path with a cane. Wort smiled, seeing their friend, and sat down the pack of firewood they were carrying so the two could sit and chat a while.

Sunday, Fun and Games

I'm now following through on the instructions Beloved gave me to make Pseuducku live.

It's taking a bit of a while.

So while that's going on, I'm writing. Of course. Working on the entry for this upcoming week in the writer's group contest. Then moving on to the daily tale, and so on.

Today's little victory - I have bread in the freezer! This means I may have bread to last the week. Huzzah. I'll still prepare like I expect Chaos to

Challenge #04556-L172: Stopgap Year

Reason allowed the young man to follow for a time. Even helped them get better clothing especially footwear. Used did not have to mean bad. They helped the youth find someone who could help them learn. And the two promised to remain friends even parting ways.

Reason could teach more than ritual magic. They could teach basic survival skills. Archery, foraging, how to prepare and clean a kill, basic cookery. Making certain the

Saturday, Parkrun and Pseuducku

I now know what to do to get Pseuducku online. I also know what happens when I hit the maximum of the free sample queries.

It's not a thing to worry about. Thank grop.

With luck on my side and maybe digging up a spoon to spare, I should get something online tonight or tomorrow.

I'm betting on tomorrow because I'm already pretty much shredded today.

Let's get on with the offerings.

Challenge #04555-L171: For Our Next Item...

A charity was having a big event and the grand prize was to spend the day with Wraithvine and hir dragon friend and go with them to the theater. Wraithvine, for their part, agreed to this because all of the money, save for paying the vendors for the big event, and the crew for set up and tear down, was going to rebuild a local hospital and a local childrens' home. -- Anon Guest

Big city. Bright lights. A festive atmosphere and

Friday, Accomplishments and Anticipation

As mentioned earlier, I have a barely-functional edition of Pseuducku. I'm hoping the fam will have a plan for me to share that thing with you. If they tell me to ask Cursor, I'll mention that I'm running out of queries.

I've seen to the Catio already, I'm about to read a story for the vids, and I got half a chapter accomplished because I woke up at fuckoff AM again.

So it's the videos and the offerings today. And messing around

Challenge #04554-L170: Seed of Life

They locate the Hartsoke plant, so insanely few and far between they are that it was nearly her end to find it. But the guardian had to be certain that this was need and not want. That this was her own choice in truth, not force, for her sake and her life.

Thursday, Bread and Physio

I have good news and bad news.

Good news - I have an Alpha version of Pseuducku.

Bad news - I have no idea how to release it.

So I'm taking a break from assisted coding until I can release the Alpha of Pseuducku. I can work on the "cutscenes" and dedication art, as well as the credits "page". I might even remember to record the process for my storytime B-roll collection.

I have the first loaf in the incubator and Mayhem

Challenge #04553-L169: Rebuild, Renew, Regrow

Lilly bumped into Wraithvine and Bibird many years after the incident with the floods. She'd opened a little shop that sold many various plants, both decorative and useful. The sign on the door had the name "Lilly's" upon it, and the symbol of a beautiful lily blossom.

The whole town had moved to more stable ground. The unstable ground looked like a bizarre garden. Half the remaining slope was covered in regiments of

Wednesday, Mor BREAD!

My cunning PLN has worked! Miss Chaos is slowing down on her ravenous sourdough consumption. She appreciates how much firkin work goes into each loaf. And there's food-with-instructions lying around so she's not starving.

She's just incredibly lazy.

Pan-fried toast is easier than a lot of meals she could be making. Faster, as well. The bread to make the pan-fried toast is a little bit more of a trial.

So I'm happy to do the second batch on my only while I
