Unsaved is out now. A science fiction novella at the end of time, where the sun is undead, tech is part of the ecology, and the world is buried by the past. An ancient android goes undercover to steal the last spark of humanity. Universal: books2read.com/u/4A9nxq Itch: pemry-janes.itch.io/unsaved
The cover of Unsaved by Pemry Janes.

A weary robot sits on a head while mechanical limbs pile up behind them. Just a scrapheap, or the ghosts of regrets past reaching for the one who couldn't make good on their promises?

And as we head into Fall, have you bought your copy of Unsaved yet?

Spike's Intense Vampire Face in Buffy
Alt: Spike in full vampire face only able to pretend to be humble for a moment before he cracks up. No, he loves two things. Fighting, and bragging. And Drusila. So he loves three things, fighting, bragging, Drusila, and Buffy. Okay, so among the things and people Spike loves are fighting, bragging, Drusila, Buffy, and Manchester United.

Dan Johnson will design games for food @coil.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Heck yeah.
Human-made over 5 years

No AI has been used to generate any code or content in or about the game, and never will be. Slow Roads has been a labour of love since the project began in 2021, and has been built with a decade of experience in 3D graphics and creative software development. Textures are hand-drawn, sounds are recorded locally, and all systems are designed and engineered specifically for the unique context of the game. This is a solo-developed project that I take great care over, and I believe AI simply doesn't belong in creative projects like these.

Please note that procedural generation is not a form of generative AI; the procedures used to generate the world in the game are mathematical functions that have been derived and defined by hand, with direct creative intent.

October 2026 Book Releases
It's the end of the month, which means it's once again time to look ahead to some great upcoming book releases. This month's list is a bit lighter than last month's, coming in at 26 books. Although, that's still probably way more than I'll ever have time to read. Oh well. Hopefully, I'll get to them all one day. Regardless, I'm excited to see them enter the world and find their readers.

Last days of Dutch Summer. 📷 by me.
A road less traveled.

A small path between a ditch and a wire fence, rows of trees lining the right while another row of smaller trees heads of to the left.Dry leaves from the dry summer heat litter the ground, mushrooms emerging here and there from the forest floor.The sun spills through the trees, illuminating the still green leaves of a young tree which is growing in the shadow of its kin.Beneath mighty clouds a green carpet of grass, reeds, shrubs, and trees.

The water is devoid of the birds you usually see here, maybe already preparing to head south for the winter?

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.
