Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

Sweet Shop is where it's at for digital comics. No AI bullshit. No tech gimmicks. No venture capital. If you must read on a screen, this is the most ethical option in my opinion.

Benefits of less time online* I read a whole book yesterday. Not a big book, or a complicated one - was one of the Louise Cooper Indigo series - but a whole book. And I honestly can't remember the last time I had, not the hours in my day, but the attention span.

One of my favorite cases of someone being Wrong on the Internet was a very earnest, very confused vegan who was telling people how cruel honey is; and it eventually turned out they thought honey was made by putting bees in a centrifuge and spinning them around until they threw up.

Your reminder that Lugan Vision Quest* is available to buy and download. No cozy, no cutesy, no romantasy, just one old biker who was really expecting to start his adventure in the tavern... www.amazon.co.uk/Lugan-Vision... *No AI whatsoever was used in the crafting of this book.
Luagn Vision Quest by Danie ware, art by Thomas S Brown

Cover shows a tiered city, massively overgrown, with a last light remaining at the top, and a brilliant sunrise, reflecting metallic in a river

Text says

A hero who's too old for this shit
A fuckton of psychotropics
A crazed and derelict fantasy world
A priest of the Elemental Dark
A youth who thinks he's Chosen
An old friend who's not what he was

Go on, take the mushies and find the Quest. What could possibly go wrong?
