Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

A commentator on the radio this morning described the current state of "peace negotations" as being what happens when people used to real estate deals try to handle international diplomacy and that's going to be stuck in my head for a while, as is the sight of so many Europran leaders

We may never have obeyed "Kneel before Zod!", but we I think we can proffer at least a small bow to honour the passing of Terence Stamp, to many, THE General Zod.

To the mild consternation of the usual suspects, casting news from the Masters of the Universe movie is that Kristen Wiig has been cast as Roboto

The most recent Star Trek: Strange New Worlds had a delightful, and unexpected, guest star making a blink and you'll miss it cameo.!

The gay agenda rears it's head again, this time via a fabulous method of tracking water voles

2025 week 33

was quite busy with family stuff this past week, so didn't do a whole lot else. what free time i did have was mostly spent in ff14, as usual... but i did get writing done, even some fic writing.

i've started work on a new website! this will be a fic archive, with the caveat that i can't actually host my fic on it. (my webhost strictly disallows adult content, and while that doesn't encompass all of my fic, it covers enough of it that it would be weird to have only the SFW fics.) so the idea is that it'll be a nice link list for all of my fics, along with some behind the scenes/extended author's notes on specific fics. i have the layout done, but i haven't written the content yet and i need to do that before i code any more, because i've no idea how i'm setting up the sections. oops.

in any case, that should be a fun thing to work on when i feel up to it. unfortunately my pain levels have been all over the place, so it's been difficult to do a whole lot of creative work on bad pain days. but i'm trying to push through.

still haven't played more trails in the sky the 3rd, which i really need to get back to if i'm going to finish it before the remake of 1st comes out...! admittedly the ff tactics remake comes out around the same time and that takes priority, but i'd still like to have a clean slate sooner than later.

that's all for this week.

WorldCon/Hugo Awards wrap up

After the 1030 panel on Thursday, all the streams worked fine! There was one room that was cursed, and the volume was often very low, but all of the others were great as long as the panellists used the mic, and some were on Zoom so people from other countries could attend. It looks like many of them will be re-playable, also, so I can check out panels I missed.

My sister-in-law came to stay with us so we could watch panels together. It's been really fun, and I'm glad we did it.

Some highlight panels were:
Worldbuilding Through Geography and Environments
with Martha Wells, Marshall Ryan Maresca, Nicola Griffith & Paolo Bacigalupi

Diasporic Caribbean Science Fiction
with E.G. Condé, Alex V Cruz, Fabrice Guerrier, Malka Older, Suzan Palumbo, Tonya Liburd, Tonya R. Moore & Premee Mohamed

Reading by Guest of Honor Martha Wells
with previews of both Queen Demon and the Murderbot coming out next year, plus a great Q&A.

Navigating AI as an Author or Editor
with Jason Sanford, Cassie Alexander, Dr. Corey Frazier, Emily M. Bender & Neil Clarke

Feminist Futurism Versus Project 2025: An Empowering Speculative Salon
with Isis Asare, Ada Palmer, Andrea Hairston, Annalee Newitz & Charlie Jane Anders

SFF's Role in Revolution on the African Continent
with Naomi Eselojor, Gabrielle Emem Harry, Khaya Maseko, Ngozi Anuoluwa, Nkereuwem Albert & Soila Kenya

Making It Gay… or Trans, Neurodivergent, BIPOC, and More
with Atlin Merrick, Clara Ward, Hana Lee, Maeve MacLysaght & Sarah Rees Brennan

Sifting Through History
with Remy Nakamura (M), Leigh Bardugo, Natania Barron, Nisi Shawl & Paul Weimer.

I didn't take notes on anything, but could relay any impressions I have, if people want?

I did at most 1/4 of the Hugo reading/watching, and then July was such a wash that I didn't even vote, but I was pretty happy with the results. The only category I was invested in was best series, and I was delighted that Rebecca Roanhorse won for Between Earth and Sky.

Otherwise: the novella I thought was the best of the bunch won, and the novel I hated lost. I'm still cross Blackheart man wasn't shortlisted, and the nomination stats aren't out yet, so I haven't seen how far down the list it was. I'm going to be even more cross if it was just one off, and Adrian Tchaikovsky getting two slots kept it out. (I always think it's nice when an established author who already has awards declines a spot if they have two titles in the same category, since that gives a new person a chance a lot of the time, but I'm less enamoured of the idea if it turns out that it's only women declining award nominations.)

I'm also very happy for Moniquill Blackgoose, who won the Astounding (not a Hugo), and Darcie Little Badger for her Lodestar (not a Hugo).

The Graphic Canon of Crime and Mystery has a Psycho excerpt.

The Canon's one of those curated by Russ Kick - it's two volumes.

The Psycho excerpt's from the second one - it's not from Alfred Hitchcock's movie, but Robert Bloch's original novel. The woman who shows up at Norman Bates' motel is Mary Crane, and the physical part of Norman's deceptive mildness doesn't come from looking like a 28-year old Anthony Perkins.

The excerpt starts where the book does - Norman reading.

His book's anthropological. )
