Guild Wars 2 is pretty great. Wish I hadn't slept on it for so long. Been playing it in order, and just got through Heart of Thorns.

It's strange to me that 3D Graphics Rendering books seemed to have died out, or more precisely, it's just the same ones from 10-20 years ago redone in new editions at best. At least, some quick searches didn't reveal new ones.

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

In addition, I have three books finished but not put up yet for sale, as I'm still sending them around. Probably start making them available in some form soonish!

The next novel is sci horror, drafted in Singapore, but the real work came after. "Songs for Death Metal Enthusiasts"! A scientist suffering from a brain tumor that causes delusions experiments on subjects in an insane asylum. He uses death metal to copy their minds. www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGVR45X...

Next up in my books: "The Same Side of the River"! First novel I finished in 2013, but published after I came back from Singapore in 19. A transgender romance and tale of a family tragedy that sets in motion a trek first to France and then India. www.amazon.com/Same-Side-Ri...

Since Deep Management has been out a while, it's been interesting to see how the industry changed. This was before NFTs, before the AI bubble. I wrote the book assuming customers were real people like you and I. However, modern tech isn't about us, but big tech feeding itself.

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

This isn't the first book I wrote, but it's the first I published, and it's non-fiction, not really Pride related, but worth posting. This is a software management book focused on delivering value and the self-deception that undermines modern projects. www.amazon.com/Deep-Managem...

Also, I'm planning to get them on more services than Amazon Kindle/print, but alas, Amazon remains the most used platform. I'll update when I get them elsewhere, however.

000

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

I'm a bit late, but since it's Pride month, I figured it's not a bad time to hype up some of my available books! I should probably get versions of the later ones up as well.

000

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

Lol, I took a look at my solo wow guild and there were characters that I haven't logged on for 17 years. With mangled names from server merges. I don't even know what account they are from. Games been around a while.

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

Elves live a long time, but no one talks about what this must mean for their teeth. Presumably, they have teeth like humans, so before they even become adults, their teeth have probably worn out -- even with a better diet. Or elves have teeth like sharks. Who knows?

000

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

Lol, going back to restart an old project with two versions, and you have no idea what the difference was....

000

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 23/12/2025

lol, playgrounds for children at airports. Woo!

010

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

If all these people leave NYC (as conservative media claims), then maybe it's time to move out there! Rents will be a lot more reasonable, and it's a great city!

020

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 30/09/2025

It’s wild that the EA buyout apparently assumed AI will lower operating costs enough to justify a high debt load. Watch, somehow Musk gets involved with this.

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

Everyone talks about how people are playing 3D, 4d, 5d chess, why not Twister? Sexy 5D Twister!

Somewhere out there is the Shakespeare of ERPers.

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 05/05/2025

Lol, when my current projects aren't done, and I realize this other project is a thing that must be made.... Eventually, at least.

020

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

I do not remember the predictive typing of Visual Studio being this bad. It's literally never right.

010

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

Ugh, going back to a basic prototype after working on something else ... what is this bizarre fiasco?

000

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

I just played Mahjong Soul to learn how to play, and then realized, it broadcast this to my friends, and it kind of looks like a particular sort of game. But it's not! AFAIK. Meanwhile, the rules are a lot....

010

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

I want to make a game inspired by mahjong as core mechanics, but to do that, I'd learn to play mahjong again. Quite a conundrum. When really I just want a title in FFXIV.

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

I was considering getting a job but with all this going on, little point looking, I suppose.

000

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

To avoid the horrors, I'm wondering if I should learn to play Mahjong. Will this eliminate the horrors? Probably not.

010

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

Every time I open up Scrivener, Discord pops up an overlay -- would you like to stream live while you play? No, I don't. Not from Scrivener. No one wants to see that.

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 02/04/2025

Oh no, my cat has learned how light switches work.

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

A real thunderstorm just rolled in, so much nostalgia for Singapore. Admittedly, the rain here is colder.

000

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

It’s sad that a concern about staying in the US or not is whether I’ll be able to play a particular game ;)

000

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

I was reading a book and thought it said zeroth order modified Bessel function of the worst kind. Turns out it was first.

000

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

Ugh, FFXIV is doing a patch, so now I have to work? Wth!

000

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

And what an ending, one of the craziest Dun Scaiths. Unfortunately, no commendations! Sometimes after runs like that, people just bail fast, even after mass rezzing. Oh well!

000

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

Woo, all jobs to 100, ending with Sage #FFXIV

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

I always tell my kitty she's a good girl, but honestly, she has never shown the least interest in my books on ethics, so I'm starting to suspect she doesn't know what "good" means.

020

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

Lol, I think I had Grummz in a hunt train last night. He kept going on about "Woke Lamat." Seriously, this game is not the game for that. Of course, the _game industry_ isn't the right place for Mark Kern either. He has repeatedly proved that!

010

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 09/03/2025

Taxes are so obnoxious. In Singapore, they just basically did your taxes for you, told you what you owed. If only we had some kind of DirectFile program here in the US....

010

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

Well, it's a small thing, but I finally found an alternative source for buying the last item I had to get from Amazon, admittedly, just a few times a year. So now, nothing comes from them anymore.

000

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

Another fun thing about my cat — whenever she jumps onto my lap she often meow-screams like she’s going YOLO. It’s just my lap dumbass.

010

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

Ugh, I hate reading first drafts. They are always nightmares. At the same time, bad as they are, they can help clarify what the throughline is.

020

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 25/02/2025

Sorry, tech bros, only women in space. No DEI. Seriously, though, another novel concept: solar punk this time. When I get to it. Possibly by the time it's contemporary fiction, after I finish everything else. www.sciencefocus.com/space/women-...

sciencefocus.com

Women (probably) make for better astronauts. So should the first crew to Mars be all-female?

A new study carried out by the European Space Agency suggests that women may be better suited to space travel than men.

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

I do not see enough FFXIV stuff in my feed. Definitely not enough.

020

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

Woo, seventh book's rough draft done. That was a struggle. It's a huge bizarre dream at the moment that will require a great deal of wrangling, but it's always easier once you finally push it out.

010

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

I don't know who needs to know this, but cinnamon rolls grow on trees. You can just go out and grab one, as long as they're ripe (you can tell if they have white frosting or not).

000

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

Man, Musk messing with the airplanes and FAA means when I have to suddenly leave the country, I'm probably going to have to take a boat. You know how annoying a trans-Pacific boat trip is?

020

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

I keep wanting to paint miniatures again, but then I remember I had to get rid of them all when I moved to Asia, and I don't want to go through that one more time.

000

Jade Nefarious @jadenefarious.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

Book number seven is finally going, and kind of working! All my legit first drafts are weird agglomerations of dreams that change radically in their initial course, until I found out what it's really about. Just annoying it took four shots at it to reach this point. But whatever.

I’ve designated Chloe my henchkitty for crimes.
