Still looking like an N64 game out here

Just picked this up, even if I probably won't have time to finish it this month...

Not looking good. My son asked why the sky isn't it's "normal gray," and I started telling him about the Canadian wildfires. He responded, "Again?!" 😞

The sky above the trees was the color of a television tuned to the opening scenes of The Wizard of Oz (1939).

Somehow my son didn't realize I have a day job. Like, he thought I just write books all day. 😅

I'm back to working my way through The Mysterious Murasame Castle, and what the heck? I just discovered when you get hit, IF YOU STOP MOVING, you can maintain your invincibility frames indefinitely, until you attack or start moving again. So you can freeze and wait for enemies to clear out a bit. 😱

Had to change up the sticker on my RG35XXSP, so now @heyphilsummers.bsky.social's Mega Man adorns it. I think it looks mega cool!

My copy of XCAVATOR 2025 arrived! Now I can find out what this game actually is. 😅 It's awesome that I could buy a new NES game to support the increasingly essential preservation work of @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social.

I'm still seeing it in stock and was able to add it to my cart.

I celebrated turning in my novel revision and the publication of another book yesterday by finally seeing Masters of the Universe. I liked it! Aside from one plot point, and uh, Jared Leto, I enjoyed how it engaged with nostalgia and the heart of the show while acknowledging its inherent silliness.

Pulled another accidental all-nighter to finish my book revision and sent it to my editor on time(ish)! Now heading to NYC on two hours' sleep to record a podcast interview. Should be... interesting. 😅

Name a movie that flopped at the box office but is actually great #FilmSky Dark City (1998)

Here's another one, in honor of my son.

One time I was wearing a Doctor Who shirt with the diamond logo, and the cashier at Dunkin' Donuts criticized my purchase of a donut and coffee, saying "You should know better." And I'm like, "What? Why...?" And he said, "Aren't you a doctor with the World Health Organization?" 🤦

OMG what? Are the Obamas FNAF fans? 😅 (My name isn't listed, but I wrote this book, and it's in the #ObamaPresidentialCenter, so I'll take the honor!)

This is 48! Had a mostly chill day with some wonderful presents, including the precious gift of time to write. Yes, I'm working today, because my deadline approaches, but it's also a nice way to celebrate the creative year I've had and hopefully look forward to new challenges and opportunities. 🎉

Had a blast tonight with 3/4 of my family at Bit Brigade's Mega Man X concert, also featuring The Super Guitar Bros.!

I misread this as "Meow Dammit," which would be a pretty good name for cat ear headphones

Just saw this on the RWBY YouTube channel 👀

Post from RWBY that says "A sneak peek inside the RWBY writers room! There's a lot of work ahead, but lots of fun to be had along the way. We can't wait to share what's coming with you!" Image shows Miles Luna, Kiersi Burkhart, Eddy Rivas, and Kerry Shawcross smiling in their video windows, hiding secrets.
