CID: Day 30.25
“I really hate slow build times.”
During the five hours I had been in the ocean I had built an sub-nautical naval construction dock and a ton of submarines. I also built something the game was lacking, which I blame game mechanics on since there was never a need for it, which was a Fabricator Sub. Nanomachines move more slowly underwater,...

I'm installing a new Dishwasher, which SHOULD be easy, except the system it's being installed to is over 35 years old. That means new in/out hose lines, and possibly rewiring with very LIVE wires that weren't ever properly labeled on the circuit breaker. Plus the circuit breaker an is old 20 AMP ...

I watched the sunset in a peaceful calm as I stared down at the waves washing upon the sandy shore. Although I can “feel” the temperature in the air, the coolness of the ocean winds, it didn’t feel real to me. It was good enough though, so long as I focused on something. Waves were always good to watch as they were never the same, though in time...
2021-08-16 23:01:19 +0000 UTC View PostThe dark, cellar like area under the guard post was a nightmare. I stared in what would be an unreadable expression had I possessed a human face. Inside, I was feeling a mixture of horror, disgust, and righteous indignation.
My eye had adjusted to allow more light in so I wasn’t totally in the dark, and what I found was a charnel house. Fresh, and old rotting bodies of people piled up a...

I watched as the red dragon and flock of flying monsters grappled with tooth and claw, and the occasional gout of flame from the dragon setting everything on fire. It would have been absolu...

To my displeasure, I quickly learned one important thing. There is a very big difference between build times in the game, and in real life. Building is still a fast process, compared to construction times that actual military and civilian contractors are capable of, but it was still a slow enough process that I got irritated by the act.

2021-08-10 21:16:48 +0000 UTC View PostApparently the guys at SB noticed someone reposted my story on Webnovel. So at the moment, they said they are pursuing that, and I have reported it.
I'm a little caught off guard though because...wow. Someone actually did that.
I'm more amused than angry, even though I know the kind of damage this sort of thing tends to do. Amused because "Wow. My first Theft! You know you made it...
With chapter 25 done, I will now work on Chapter 26, and that will be posted here first, followed by another, and another until I am at least four or five chapters ahead.
After that, they get posted on SB as normal, public with a link.
but you guys will always be at least three chapters ahead depending on what else I post during the month.
I'll do the best I can to keep to tha...

Colonel Eugene Roberts held tightly to what was left of a handrail as he gazed upon the room that was the command center. Computers that were once manned by men and women of NEMA were now working on their own as the automated systems ran in full c...
2021-08-03 11:11:31 +0000 UTC View PostI think it's been long enough. So the votes, few as they were, was enough to make the decision.
Epwydadlan explained his idea of how to go about it, and I was going in that direction already looking at other authors like Stewart who writes their Gamer/Bleach SI, as well as their "In this Dungeon, there is Loot". Stewart usually posts three or so chapters ahead of time before posting on S...
The last month has been pretty hard on me, but I'm still writing the best I can, and I have a bunch of stories going. The next month is looking to be more of the same in regards to work needing done though, since vehicles are being repaired by myself and father at a somewhat breakneck pace since they couldn't do so since I had gone to Florida.
On a positive note, my folks are realizing ho...

So this is a thing that happened...
aaaand Guess what I got?!
So in game, in order to summon the thing, you need to find a signal from one of the reality interfaces Atlas controls and maintains the reality with. If you fiddle with it, it basically creates a crossover event where you can bring things from other "universes" (other games) into NMS.
Since my story was starting ...
After 18 months, I'm finally going home to Alaska. Most of the last month was spent cleaning things up and getting ready for leaving, which will likely continue until I catch my plane on the 14th. After that, I will see about getting back to writing.
Things look like they might be busy when I get back up there though since alot of things couldn't get done without me there to keep momentum...

Part of this is making a list of universes the character will go to. I have the list, but usually I just roll a dice and go with it because I always have a world I "prefer" over others, and usually multiple ones at the same time. In this case however, as I now have actual patrons, I will give you the ch...
