Tweet of the Day, If It Weren’t For The Honor I’d Rather Have Walked edition.
Dear Lord. …Which is what I would have been saying throughout all of this, interspersed with frantic profanity.
I had to throw the music on it. pic.twitter.com/PDskEk159P

03/21/22 Snippet, THE DECALOGUE KILLER.
Exposition!
Patreon!Meyer explained over bad precinct coffee. “You hit the nail on the head, and you weren’t even trying. The only way we know for sure somebody’s a victim of the Killer is the damned feather. Otherwise?” She scowled at her coffee like it knew what it had done. “Could just be some hopped-up degenerate or thrill-killer.”
“So the Killer’s picking at random?” I spooned more sugar into my cup, which didn’t help. “Just picking anybody off the street? You sure you want me putting that in the papers? Because that’ll start a panic like nobody’s business.”
“Nah, it’s not that bad, Joe. So far, the victims do all have one thing in common: they’ve all been total bastards. Like Khan, there? Married three times, wrecked five other people’s marriages that we know of. Including the coroner’s brother’s, which is why he was whistling as he worked. I guess that in that job, you get through the day by looking forward to seeing somebody you don’t like on the slab.”
New Witcher Game being made.
Missed this, somehow:
CDPR confirms that a new Witcher game is in development

It'll use UE5 instead of REDenginehttps://t.co/A9eHvU2dMS pic.twitter.com/BFoPPzvTa6
Executive summary of the article:
Working with Epic Games (later reported that it won’t be Epic-exclusive);Will use Unreal Engine 5;CYBERPUNK 2077 expansion still will use REDengine;No further details.A new Witcher game would be nice, although first we’ll need to slog through all the inevitable ‘CDPR sucks now! I’ll never forgive them for Cyberpunk!’ whines that some people who are not my regular readers seem inclined to make. Well, I guess that’s just the nature of the beast. Anyway, personally I’d just like a lowish-stakes Witcher game. Nothing but monsters and alchemy, really. I liked all the folklore the most in the original game.

My dude @bfleuter had his clothes stolen.
Because being burned out of your house and stock isn’t enough excitement for one decade, it seems*. Anyway, I don’t have a commission that needs filling at the moment, so I bought another pin. They’re good pins anyway.
Hey just pushing this one more time now that I gotta buy new clothes and pay for a vet bill (cat's are okay one just got into something she shouldn't have, and needed some meds to pass it) https://t.co/m9kyW1hDJo

Tweet of the Day, Pigs Will Just Straight-Up Kill You, Man edition.
I hesitated to embed because of the swear word, but… that was a f*cking idiot bear. You know what you need, to fight pigs? A hand grenade, and a safe place to throw it from. They put lugs on the sides of boar spears because otherwise the wild boar will just keep coming up the shaft, purely to wreck your day before it dies. Their domestic cousins are likewise ill-tempered about being raised as a food source.
Fucking idiot bear https://t.co/2LwT4mVDpC pic.twitter.com/hMIAHe800n

Connection problems all day…
…add to that the fact that I couldn’t concentrate worth a dang at all this weekend, and you get not the most productive of times. Then again, the lack of concentration happens at the end of all my crowdfunding ventures, so I shouldn’t worry too much about it. Although I will, anyway.
Patreon Microfiction: Just Outlive The Bastards.
The protagonist of Just Outlive The Bastards… well, s/he has patience. That’s a Virtue, right? So at least we’re not talking about somebody who is utterly evil.
Patreon!Second TINSEL RAIN stretch goal down! On to the audiobook!
That means everybody gets the extra stories now – and I’ll bundle up all the Fermi Resolution art and maps I’ve commissioned for our first-day supporters. Huzzah!
Moving along: we’re over halfway to the audiobook stretch goal with, okay, four days to go. But why not take that swing? The Kickstarter ends Thursday: tell all your friends!
