We made it to Titan. Not to Cassini Spaceport. And we're out of fuel. This is... fine. #Ostranauts twitch.tv/telinartho

There's a new update in Space. We'll have to see what that means. I expect a giant billboard reminding me to put my helmet on, frankly. #Ostranauts twitch.tv/telinartho

Well I was planning on playing tonight anyway, but here's another reason - got to stretch out the new patch smell!

Last night, a patrol kicked our ship into debris and we died. So I'm starting a fresh run so we can die to a ship fire, like a proper person. #Ostranauts twitch.tv/telinartho

Can't stop playing - so nice to see some fixes come in for things I haven't even seen because I move at a glacial pace :)

Ended last night with a smoke alarm going off. Let's grab a bite to eat and maybe panic. As a treat. #Ostranauts twitch.tv/telinartho

#Ostranauts warned me to give myself time to decelerate. There I was restoring a pump and eating a bite to eat when the proximity alarm went off. I was traveling at 2.3km/s. The alarm goes off when you are within 5km. Time to start over.

I have Strong Feelings about self-publishing.

A screenshot of a post and quoted post. The original post by better.on.the.page says, "Can we stop with the “I’ve had 2 rejections, is it time to go indie?” posts cuz they’re coming off ignorant. 1) Indie is not a fall back for getting rejected by trad routes. It’s a commitment, a style, a statement, and a bold choice of identity all wrapped into one big mountain to climb. 2) If 2 rejections is enough to make you give up, you arent tough enough for Indie publishing. You have to be a certain mix of crazy and unstoppable to pull off indie with any kind of success." And S.H. Cooper's repost says, "How many rejections did I get before going Full Indie? None. Zero. Zilch. I chose to self-publish my collection out of pure moxie and/or hubris.

Now, ten years later, there have been hundreds of rejections, a handful of acceptances, and a complete and utter inability to take no for an answer.

Self-publishing was never a fall back. It was me saying yes to myself."

Are you in need of an editor? I specialise in fantasy and science-fiction works, and I have 3 slots left for the remainder of the year! Reach out if you need some help getting your book to where you want it to be before it goes out into the world.

Twitch chat dubbed me "that guy who leaves the microwave popcorn in the dorm microwave for 5 minutes" after I vented smoke from my burning ship into the space station. I'm not a fan of popcorn, yet, this fits. #Ostranauts #FireInTheHold #FireEverywhere
