Streets of Hope

I've been messing with Suno, a service that allows anyone to use AI generation to more or less whip up two to three-minute segments of custom music. It's interesting, the algo leans really hard into harmonics (using two voices at once) - but you can still get some fun stuff out of it - even instrume...

For a while longer, the assembly roiled about in the immense space, groups forming and unforming without much to be concerned about, safe perhaps for how this stood as an occasion for Li Si's vampires to display their craft. The same begrudgingly-modernized men and women you saw keeping to the sidel...

Amazo made a slight face. "No, it shouldn't be much of an issue, but the town's other local dryad might say your fungal network probably looks a little funky, a few decades down the line. That is, if we manage to recover him or to blow his head off..." He gestured vaguely. "I know - o...

I've been thinking that after a bit of adventure in Paradise, Archie would usurp a Void Weaver clone of himself created by Greg Rendell as an enemy operative. Instead of letting the body develop its consciousness based on Rendell's cues, he'd just upload himself in there, instead - thereby returning...

Have a good one, guys!

"It won't be much of a surprise if I say Dalarath's idea of a holiday usually involves death, depravity and a human sacrifice or two. I grew up thinking you had to please the Others on these sacred days, for fear of reprisal. Naturally, my first observing Christmas in Greece was done in the sam...

Billy gave Alastriona a somewhat cruel smirk. "There's threats by a dime a dozen, kiddo, and you'd think I'd have the monopoly on sensing stuff? Talk to the cops, why don't you - there's sensitives in their lot. Or why not Amazo? You're looking for someone who's got arcane clout, why not him?&q...

Arthur: "I've worked a few haunts in my time; so has Alana. The key to an unforgettable experience is to offer a sense of pathos and catharsis. It's not too dissimilar from Grand Guignol ; where the goal is to shock and delight in equal, deliciously ghoulish measures. In the best of cases, wha...
