I feel the need to do some self-promotion…please forgive me.

My game, Out of the Ashes is a fantasy game about hope, community, rebuilding, and striking out at the forces of evil. It has plenty of tools for building a campaign, and is the latest iteration of my ideas for mechanics as seen in Liminal. The world is distinct from “standard fantasy” but relatable, and easy to make your own.

You can find it here.

Please share widely. I’m currently on strike, so RPG sales are even nicer than usual!

And leaving Twitter hasn’t helped when it comes to promotion of my lovely things.

For the next few days I will describe this village on the shore of the underground sea, and some of its inhabitants.

The nice pub in the village by the underground sea.

I wrote up some detailed notes on how I trained a GPT model from scratch using nanoGPT, exclusively against content from my blog: https://til.simonwillison.net/llms/training-nanogpt-on-my-blog

All EU leaders clapped for Zelensky, except one. Can you guess which Viktor Orban it was?

You can choose sides in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and looks like Elon Musk has chosen his: https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/spacex-curbed-ukraines-use-starlink-internet-drones-company-president-2023-02-09/. 📡 Starlink’s service may no longer be used for offensive purposes. Sad. #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦 #StopPutin 🛑

@jonn I read an article on this last year (by @cfenollosa). This is so bad, I will collect stories on how the email system is being captured by big companies.

Btw I'm not back on Twitter, that's a mexican dude that's just helping out by sharing the episodes.

More strange Mastodon reporting. This time from @thurrott, who claims "I’ve been using Mastodon since December, but the interaction there is almost non-existent compared to Twitter."

Dude, you follow 22 people. Try following more people. The "non-existent" interaction is *up to you*.

I've found WAY MORE interactions and engagement here than I ever had on Twitter. Plus fewer death threats.

I forgot to do an #introduction post when I moved here, so here goes.

I am O. Westin, a #writer of #MicroFiction, mostly #ScienceFiction and #fantasy #fiction, and occasional #poetry. My stories are generally less than 280 characters long.

No set schedule, stories are written and posted when inspiration strikes.
I am LGBTQIA+ positive, and usually favour wholesome and hope over darkness and edgy nihilism.
