The ‘Well.’ THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP trailer.
Am I old? I’m old, aren’t I? This reaction I had to THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP was also the old-person reaction to old Looney Tunes shows, wasn’t it?
No, seriously. Wasn’t it?
So don’t blame THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP, maybe. Blame the culture. Looney Tunes is merely trying to deal with it.
The obligatory “Nine days until Christmas discreet book-flogging” post.
Order from Amazon now, and my books will STILL arrive before Christmas! You have time remaining to give the gift of my words!
…You can also just buy stuff on Amazon via this link, too. Every little bit helps!
12/16/2024 Snippet, PICKMAN’S MODELS.
It’s not really been a great time up there. One hopes that’s been coming across.
Patreon!“Commander Marsh is in charge of the Americans here on the moon,” Reithner told him. “I am not even his direct subordinate. You should talk to him, not me.”
The cleaver-man scowled at Tobias. “He’s not one of us. Maybe you are, maybe you’re not. If you are, you can tell us how to talk to him, get what we want that way.”
He might have said more, but Tobias interrupted. “Let me start right now. Harm the Lieutenant in any way, and you’ll get nothing you want.”
“You’re in no place to bargain, American. We have your life in our hands.” The cleaver-man reached out one of them, which looked more like claws than even before. “All I have to do is make a fist.”
“What I said wasn’t a bargain. It’s reality. And no, you don’t have my life.” Tobias leaned against the wall, crossing his arms. “I’m already dead. We all are. Hell, I’ve been where we go after all of this. You want to hear what it’s like? The void, I mean? Well. It’s dark, endless, empty — and, best of all: it’s not on the God-damned Moon. You think scaring me with going back is going to work? I’d sleep there if I could!”

The “I love you to death, Ciri…” THE WITCHER 4 trailer.
“…and it’s great to see you; but Geralt probably should have explained more about why you don’t let the girl go back to the village just quite yet.”
Am I buying THE WITCHER IV? Well, on the one hand, yes. On the other hand…

PS: Not on Amazon yet. Gonna be a while.
The “I want Civ II back” CIVILIZATION 7 trailer.
I do want Civ II. Every version of Civilization since then has not thrilled my soul. I doubt Civilization 7 will, either. Is this… is this the triggering event that will prove, once and for all, that I am old?
A new episode of THE BOLD MARAUDER is up!
Patreon Microfiction: No, Really, Never You Mind.
Patreon!No, Really, Never You Mind. Dryads in mythology can be incredibly touchy creatures. All nymphs and female nature spirits, really. If they’re not being in a killing mood, you probably shouldn’t try to change that by asking impertinent questions.

Book of the Week: Sink the Rising Sun.
I really need to get around to reading Jon Gabriel’s SINK THE RISING SUN. I should probably warn him: there are two book-related hobbies. There is buying books, and then there is reading books. Most of the people who do the second hobby also do the first one, only more enthusiastically.
Note that I say nothing bad about those people, and not just because I am one of them. After all, they plunk the money down, don’t they? Buying books is a lovely hobby, in that regard…

Back from the Old Glory Harley-Davidson Holiday event!
It was a fine time. They were quite welcoming to me over there, very friendly, and I was able to sell some books. I even got pancakes and sausages! If you’re looking to buy a motorcycle and you live near Howard County, I can say that Old Glory Harley would be a good place to go price one.
Behold! At the Old Glory Harley-Davidson selling books! Oh, and they have motorcycles, too. Friendly group so far. pic.twitter.com/MNHrLEROF4
