I was worried they would change OoT too much and here's the proof. Link in the armed schoolgirl outfit as dlc? C'mon. (Check out our before they fix it. www.ebgames.ca/shop/the-leg... )

... Now, I'm not saying I built a shelf around my living room to display my amiibo collection. I am saying I have a very understanding wife who also likes these things, and a brother in law who knows how to build shelving.

Another section of the shelf of amiibo built into the wall.

Yet another section of the shelf of amiibo built into the wall.

Now I'm playing with power.

Playing Star Fox with the N64 controller. The objectively best way to play a remake of a 20 year old game is with the teenage of a 20 year old controller.

We're living in the future.

I feel like every time my character loses in Champions, they look like they're trying to recreate a Simpsons meme.

Screenshot of the main screen of champions, where the character is looking down with their mouth open in kind of a sad stunlocked "I can't believe it" way.

Man, I don't get annoyed when folks try to scam me. That's expected on the Internet. What annoys me is when there isn't any effort put in. If you're going to try to fuck me, buy me lunch at least.

Screenshot of an email that reads:

Hi Bryant,
I just finished your book, and honestly, it's still lingering in my mind. It grabbed me right from the first page and kept me hooked all the way through.

What really stood out to me was [mention a specific character, scene, theme, or writing style]. It resonated deeply and gave me a whole new perspective.

L.L. Bryant @llbryant.ca · 06/07/2026

Ah, nothing like editing a manuscript from a nanowrimo 3 years ago. Screw you, past me. I mean you're right, but also what am I supposed to do with this?

A screenshot of a pargaraph from a word document. it reads:

In the end the choice was obvious. She looked at Cian.
“You son of a bitch. I’m in,” She said. It was a line that would probably be cut in later revisions, but at the moment, word count was king, and even fucking around like this was putting words down. Still better than using AI to write your book.... probably."

Quick reminder: I've got a book coming out tomorrow. Link in bio. Other note: like my last book, even though this one has less of a video game focus, has the following image in the first few pages.

A parody image of the old arcade "winners don't use drugs" screen, where it instead says "winners didn't use generative ai"

L.L. Bryant @llbryant.ca · 25/05/2026

Oh man, this is where I'm a viking! Aurealis, the duty-bound techno knight? Kingambit, armored and loyal. Vertigo, the alchemist frienemy? Toxtricity, chill 90% of the time, but toxic. Zane, the man who taught the world how to make toasters? Malamar. He likes the hair and doesn't see the danger.

Kingambit, a red and black beetle/samurai

Toxtricity, a purple poison bipedal lizard

Malamar, an evil-looking purple and black squid.

L.L. Bryant @llbryant.ca · 13/05/2026

How would I describe the relationship between Neonnis Knight Aurealis and General Vertigo in my upcoming book found at llbryant.ca/books? Something like this:

a customized version of the "aren't you tired of being nice" meme featuring two characters from the book. One's a redhead with a flame-looking scar on her face, while the other is a blonde woman in knight armor.
Over 2 pannels, the redhead approaches a bit too close while asking "Aren't you tired of being nice? Don't you just want to go apeshit?"

How it feels being on the internet some days.

L.L. Bryant @llbryant.ca · 11/05/2026

I made this for fun, but actually debated for a while* if I should use this as the cover for The White Knight and the Technosiah. *a while = 0.05 seconds. Pretty sure I'd get sued to hell and back, and I'm too broke for that shit.

Parody cover of the "I prefer girls" meme/ 1960s book.

L.L. Bryant @llbryant.ca · 29/04/2026

Alright, let's give this a shot. The Neonnis Knights: The White Knight and the Technosiah launches May 30th. Preorders for the ebook available now. llbryant.ca/books

Image of the cover for the book. It also has added notes, such as:

Knights in power armor.
Odd couple stuck together in a hostile city.
Flirty Frienemy Alchemist lady.
Irresponsible time travel plot.
Card themed factions.
Main character with a snarky voice in her head.

Upcoming book cover reveal? Sure, twist my arm. I'm actually really happy with how this one came out.

Cover for the book "The Neonnis Knights: The White Knight and the Technosiah." It's got a pair of playing cards on the front driving two characters as the ace of diamonds and a joker. The ace shows a blonde woman transitioning into power armor, while the joker shows a green haired man looking cocky and slightly unhinged.

My kid's school is having a reading week event. Looks like they didn't proof read their own promo slop about it. Look kid, I buoke a dangle often too, but not enough to put it on a shirt.

Image of a bunch of kids standing around with open books. However, the image is very obviously generated by ai as some of the kids have shirts that say 'Be Eind', 'Buoke a Dangle', and a scribbly mess that almost says 'Skeeskity' but it's illegible.

A very personalized version: DLSS5 off | DLSS5 on

Photo of two books. The one on the left has a cover fine in an 8-bit style. The one on the right is more "traditional" but it's also washed out and has terrible composition. Both are ostensibly of the same book, "Masters of the system: Genesisters" but the one on the right is an older design by a very amateur Double L.

These days, when I go into the office, my first thought is "Ha Ha. I'm in danger."

Entryway to a single floor building. Above the door is a glass overhang, covered in about 3 feet of snow that looms, ominously ready to fall and crush its enemies. I make my offerings and pray I am worthy, either to enter safely, or be crushed quickly.

Look, I'm not really doing the whole nanowrimo thing this year. That said, I do feel like I pavlov'd myself into writing when Halloween wraps up though, so I started a thing. I don't have a word count goal or anything, it's a first draft of somehting with an outline. Still, it's something.

word count of a thing. currently at 1095 words. if I were doing nanowrimo, I'd only be 2000 words behind.

L.L. Bryant @llbryant.ca · 22/10/2025

I have never seen a more bold 'dance on your grave' moment. Nanwrimo died defending ProWritingAid's use of AI (among other things), and they turn around and do this? I'm actually impressed at how audacious this is.

An ad for 'Novel November' by ProWritingAid.

Text reads "50,000 words, 30 days, 1 novel
Introducing Novel November—the only writing challenge that takes you from blank page to first draft in one month for free."

Ayo? What? I got featured in a list on bookshop? That's insane to me, since I've barely been marketing it, but I'm not going to question it too hard. Link here for the curious. bookshop.org/lists/sci-fi...

As I handed someone irl a copy of Genesisters, they asked if I used AI in my writing. I pointed to page 2 of the book, which has the following image. I got an approving nod.

Parody image of the old "winners don't use drugs" arcade splash screen, which instead reads "winners don't use generative ai".

Bonus points to anyone old enough/online in the aughts enough to get the reference.

Now that I've got access to my tablet, I've got an image of the main character Aurealis, and her frenemy General Vertigo. Their designs are not final. I was really just an exploration of the look/trying out some new shading techniques. She's the one who is reluctantly tasked to collect on the favour

Ok. Here we go again. Lookie! Someone 3D printed my story. Hopefully they'll be able to make more for May 30th. (That person is me. I did the thing.)

A normal book, not actually 3d printed. The title is "Masters of the System: Genesisters." And the cover depicts a woman in a jacket, back lit, facing the sky watching 2 spaceships fly into the night sky, all depicted in a pixelated style.

I hear "not for resale" versions of games are sometimes worth more. What about books? (Art not final, just a test print)

I had a really dumb idea, and I'm debating if I want to put it at the front of an upcoming arcade-adjacent-themed book, or if the joke has been overplayed already.

A parody of the old "Winners don't use drugs" messages that would appear on arcade game screens in their attract mode.
This version replaces the FBI crest with a similarly coloured book with the letters AI on it with a red cross icon over it. The text at the bottom reads "Winners don't use Generative AI." Atributed to "L.L.Bryant. Writer. Human"

How it started | How it's going.

Outdoor image of a round table, covered in snow. The snow is about 2 feet high off the table. The snow around is high, but you can still see the legs.

Same outdoor table as before, but the snow around it goes up to the flat part with even more snow on top.
