H.P. #Lovecraft wrote to his aunt that he was so damn frustrated that he had no inspiration to write and was afraid he would stop or take so long. Now, he wrote approximately 60 works.
And me here worried that I'm taking too long with my future book. Damn #Book#Writer#writing
I want to riff a bit on computable numbers. I'll start with integers, fractions, mention Egyptians, and end up at H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos. (No, really.)
Shipment with #ArkhamHorrorCardGame and #TheForgottenAge campaign is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. It's been a long 18 days, but who is counting ?
Arcane Cache: Review to Carcosa, a faithful rendition of a poem as video game.
This game holds an elegant, hypnotic beauty and goes down the path of minimalism in a bolt and consequent way that makes it rather unique – the playtime is probably around one minute. It is an adaption of a poem that doesn’t really attempt to refresh anything, and isn’t interested in re-contextualization; this is an approach that bears the risk of gliding into a uncritical relation to the source material, and of getting a bit dusty – the game plays very much like a game that was released when the poem came out could have looked like, like a forged relict from an era that predates the medium; and looking at the developer and their affiliation with goth this might have been exactly what they wanted to do.

...j'ai aucun souvenir d'avoir passé cette commande ! Bon c'est pas déconnant non plus hein, mais ça reste inquiétant ! 😜
J'espère que le prochain SMS de disponibilité de commande ça ne va pas être "Votre model Y est disponible chez votre concessionnaire Tesla ..."
Kinda want to do a Call of Cthulhu in space. Start off with a sci-fi setting, then the party discovers that the new drive system was made from copying an ancient ship found in our system. Then they discover why most explorers haven't come back...
Lord of a Visible World: An Autobiography in Letters
In Lord of a Visible World, the editors have amassed and arranged the letters of this prolific writer into the story of his life. The volume traces Lovecraft's upbringing in Providence, Rhode Island, his involvement with the pulp magazine Weird Tales, his short-lived marriage, and his later status as the preeminent man of letters in his field.
Well I guess I've been here for a bit, should do one o' them #introduction posts or something so here goes:
I am a gigantic fucking #nerd/#geek. Expect any kind of random topic. #gaming? Been playing #games for 30+ years now. #Comics? Absolutely. Not so much DC, but anything #Marvel or damned near any other company.
Not big on sports aside from #prowrestling (which I post tons of news on kbin.socials #squaredcircle magazine).
Aside from that, I'm #Canadian, a #millenial, have a deep seething hatred for 99% of humanity and commit myself to daily rituals to try and assist with the waking of ancient eldritch beings to hopefully come end us all. I also #bake a lot and love cookies.
My e-reader's "Read Next" suggestions are just chef's kiss.
Start with How To Argue With a #Racist by Adam Rutherford, and follow up with H.P. #Lovecraft: The Complete Collection. 🤣
