In other news, I'm posting an article from the Electron Dance archives every day running up to Christmas.
Today is day one. December the 1st. And it's the turn of... THE BEAUTIFUL DEAD. Which is on environmental narrative and its' limits. http://www.electrondance.com/the-beautiful-dead/ https://mastodon.social/media/21498
In decades past, saying "I was naked in the shower with a bird" would have been considered a good time. But not today.
Most astonishing thing was the children had braved the closet alone, got some string to open it and find out the truth. *sob* *my babies*
THE END
(the bird was encouraged out the window)
Anyway, my wife opens bathroom door again. BIRD!
I am naked in the shower and a bloody bird is flying around the bathroom. I'm yelling to my wife why would you do this to me why why no love
She says it's better to poop in the bathroom than poop in the kids' bedroom. This is flawless logic.
I'm in the shower. My daughter runs into the bathroom. Out. A little later I hear lots of yelling. When I get out of here, I'm gonna get maaaad
Wife pokes head in. We have a bird in the house.
Apparently, this bird was banging around inside the closet, desperate to escape. Children heard this monster & Mummy and Daddy ignored them. Doesn't this sound like the plot of those horror films where no one believes the children?
The children rushed into our bedroom v. early in the morning today. Daughter jumped into bed. Son said didn't like noise outside window. And we were all like, get out of here Stalkers. It's too early. Your clock is still sleeping. Whatever the noise is it's harmless.
They came in again. Saying there's noise coming from the closet. GO BACK TO BED PLZ. Anyway, I got out of bed as son turned up again saying:
Can I open the closet? I think there's a big moth trapped in there.

Memory of a Broken Dimension is coming
Random thought: Is Meadow impacting The Endless Forest Kickstarter?
I played a lot this year but as for a game that came to represent 2016 for me, it is either The Witness or Dark Souls.
I only finished one of these games, though...
I think - I hope - that I am done with the first draft of chapters 1 & 2 of the book.
By the way, I have said this before. But not on Mastodon! That is my GET OUT OF JAIL FREE card.
Mastondon is like playing an old RPG you already finished a few years ago. You already know the main quest and every NPC in town. Finding back old Twitter pals is only a matter of time.
oh my god what is it with the typos these days "you'll can do so"
Now that I'm done with making and marketing that film on Dark Souls, I can work on this month's newsletter... which will be looking at something more negative. Out in the next couple of days.

God damn typos. I can't slow down any more. Geneal sounds medical.
Geneal question: what's the best way to access Mastodon on mobile? Is there an app? (Seems too early for an app.)
I was pretty jaded by NMS. I mean, I wasn't one of the NMS-worse-than-Trump crowd but I found it all too easily to drift away from it. But I do want to see what this new NMS is all about.
Okay so that No Man's Sky update is so massive it looks like it might turn into a star.
Also the track preview that makes every stage look like a batty neon rollercoaster.
@lmichet I will try out some of your recommendations from the Ambient Mixtape... but couldn't help but laugh when you pointed out how many games were actually pretty similar despite the project's aspirations of diversity.
