@te-net.bsky.social writing exercise for Shore of Jord: You're the kind of person who, given a chance to move the fortunes of others would rather they thought that you weren't given one. After all, anything could go wrong if you were to intervene. So you rather they blamed the wind. Or the current.

Wow, not gonna lie, I'm pleasantly surprised by how much support BlueSky provides for indie game devs. I did not expect that one bit. Feeling so hyped that I decided to punch some bags in Shore of Jord. Wish me luck! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #gaming #RPG

The Republic of Memory by @mahmudelsayed.bsky.social is one of the best books of 2026, and should be a strong contender for the Hugo Award next year. I wholeheartedly endorse this book. We had the chance to chat with the author about his debut novel, his influences, and about language in general.

Thus far, none of the current inhabitants had actually reacted to his presence in their home, no one had demanded special attention. Still though, he couldn't shake that uneasy feeling about. And it seemed that this time too, his gloomy thoughts would be heard and turned into reality.

Halcek @halcek.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

He walked through groups of families and lone individuals, going deeper and deeper into their territory, his hand gripping the hilt of the massive sword at his side with a vice-like grip.

100

Halcek @halcek.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Finally, he managed to identify the feeling that had followed him the entire time there, like a big lion ready to pounce on unsuspecting prey.

100

Halcek @halcek.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

The scattered about refugee camp’s inhabitants either didn’t notice him at all, or were quickly looking away, suddenly very busy, if someone happened to accidentally glance at his direction.

100

Halcek @halcek.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

If one were to look at him independent of attachment, or judgement, one would notice that despite the confident gaze of his bright hazel eyes and the seasoned appearance of an experienced warrior, he was quite unsure of himself. He didn’t fit in at all. Coming from the past.

100

Halcek @halcek.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

If he acts too intelligent, it could only bring him trouble. And he is a hunter. Not the hunted. Slowly, he slid down the slope on his knees, and all thoughts vanished as if they had never been there.

100

Halcek @halcek.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

At least, he climbed up to the fresh air. But what now, really? He might just go down into the valley, maybe find some primitive tribe of polar bear hunters, and what then? Will they accept him among themselves? And if they do, what will he say to them?

100

Halcek @halcek.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

They buried him when they pounced on him, silently sneaking in because they thought he was asleep and didn’t want to wake him. But it should have happened long ago and he woke up, which shouldn’t have happened. Had he been there for half a century?

100

Halcek @halcek.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

He felt a sharp surge of anger again, a manifestation of sorrow at himself, anger at everyone around him, anger at the fact that he had been getting in people's way through the sewers, that they stepped on him as they went about their daily business, but no one bothered to look down there.

100

Halcek @halcek.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

He had never been an INNOCENT child. His mouth twisted into a mad grin. He had no idea how old he really was, how long he had been down there, what he looked like… he only knew that it all had lasted an incredibly long time. And it felt incredibly old to him, like he should've been present so much.

100

Halcek @halcek.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

As he walked through the picturesque evening streets of the big city and cold-bloodedly met the murderous glances of the city guards, he remembered the shiny metal on their belts. He ran his fingers over his face. It was rough, but clean. He was no longer an innocent child.

100

Halcek @halcek.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

There was none of that here. No quarrels between neighbors, who both sold equally bruised and unripe cabbages at the market, nor sitting by the fire where a pig was roasting on a spit.

100

Halcek @halcek.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

He has been used to the witnessing of witch trials ever since he was still a little boy, in an environment where he could hide among heavy, greasy bodies when he felt alone, where no one would have a chance to find him.

100

Halcek @halcek.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Using the sword to help himself up and looked around, there was no living city, no environment where he felt comfortable, no place among the crowds in the middle of the square to be found here.

100

Halcek @halcek.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

While coughing, he shrugged off out of his coat, which was already useless due to the smell and age, and tried with clumsy movements of his numb hands to wipe the blade of the sword, which now served as his only seemingly stable support.

100

Halcek @halcek.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

In a hand that seemed, given the narrow space where he constantly felt like he was about to suffocate, at least a little free, something weighed on him and pressed his weakened body down with such force that he felt no greater pain could even exist.

100

Halcek @halcek.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

He angrily kicked at the empty air, but he did it with a strong swing, and the rock was too hard for it to have any real effect other than the pain that shot up his leg after the action.

100

Halcek @halcek.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

He gritted his teeth, as if it was not even worth it, and tried to make out something in the insurmountable darkness. Anything. But under the stone blanket there was only silence. Impaling himself on the hard corner of a protruding rock is not exactly what he would want after that tiring journey.

To celebrate the upcoming release of The Blood of Dawnwalker #game on September 3, here's a small scene called The Awakening of a #vampire: He woke up with a sharp headache. It seemed to him that he must have been awake for ages, although he really gained consciousness slowly and uncertainly.

It’s wrong to look at this from a financial viability perspective I think. This is more of an ideological narrative maintanance investment: as long as WaPo continues to be reffered to in discourse, it’s well worth the money.
