This is a collection of my posts from X, my main social and the first place I post everything. You’ll find video game guides, comics, fiction, my writing and author updates, and other topics I cover.
4,845 posts are available here. Each entry keeps the original wording and links back to X.
5/7 There’s now a shared account page and consistent navigation across the site. I’ve also added optional verified-email recovery with expiring, single-use reset links. The recovery flow is tested; external inbox delivery still needs verifi...
4/7 Audio sharing got a substantial upgrade. Imported audio keeps its original bytes, while new Compose soundtrack renders use 44.1 kHz stereo, lossless WAV. Existing soundtracks stay intact unless you choose to replace them. Audio doesn’t...
3/7 Account projects can be named, saved and reopened across the studios. Conflicting saves are detected, and deleted projects can be restored from trash. Reusing a project across the tools keeps it private to your account.
2/7 You can still use Eidolon without registering. Guest projects stay in your browser. If you want an account, you choose when to save your work there. Media uploads happen when you explicitly choose Save to account.
1/7 Eidolon 2.3 is live. This update brings the three studios closer together: Canvas for responsive visuals, Compose for music, and Scenes for music videos. Optional accounts let you save private projects and carry compatible work between...
I’ve also improved the map layout, made pause and arrival states clearer, and added reduced-motion support. This is an early build, and there’s plenty left to develop. You can try the experiment here: https://t.co/XNOHFWJYbL (2/2)
My existing open-source Repository Release Readiness Checker is updated to v1.1. Save a baseline and compare new, unchanged and resolved findings. Scans run locally without executing the project’s commands. https://t.co/GugCUvgBJ7
Emergent Authority micro update: the map is now interactive. You can select districts and units, choose routes, and watch movement play out on the map. Still an experiment under development, but this gives me a better foundation to build on...
A story ends, you move on, and then years later another story makes you look at it differently. For most of the present-day characters, that future is something they’re trying to prevent. For Rachel, it’s something she already survived.
They had relationships. They had lives. And Rachel is still trying to deal with losing hers while everyone else is living through a completely different set of problems. That’s the kind of connection I enjoy finding as I read through all th...
So even this reunion can’t last without hurting the people he loves, and he ultimately has to accept that he died. That gives those brief scenes in Days of Future Past a lot more weight. The people in that future weren’t just there to show...
And for a while, there’s the possibility that Rachel gets someone back who actually understands where she came from. Except he’s a psychic projection created at the moment of his death. His continued existence is draining Rachel and his you...
Just being back in a world where these people are alive doesn’t automatically give her those relationships back. Then adult Franklin shows up, trying to make the present fit the world he remembers.
And that’s where it gets complicated. She knows Jean as her mother. But this Jean hasn’t lived that life. Rachel has all of this history with someone who doesn’t share those memories.
Franklin was killed by the Sentinels, and Rachel felt his death through their psychic connection. By the time we get to Future Present, Rachel is living in the present herself, surrounded by people who haven’t experienced the things she rem...
But the connection isn’t just that the Sentinels are a problem again. It’s Rachel and Franklin Richards, and what that future actually meant to them. They loved each other in that timeline.
You see the camps, the deaths, and what’s left of the people you know. There’s a whole ruined world packed into those two issues. Then Days of Future Present picks that back up across the 1990 Fantastic Four, X-Factor, New Mutants, and X-Me...
Which is kind of crazy considering how much came out of it. Rachel Summers sends the adult Kitty Pryde’s mind back into her younger body so the X-Men can prevent Senator Kelly’s assassination and hopefully avoid that future ruled by Sentine...
One thing I like about reading through X-Men is seeing how a story keeps affecting the characters long after that storyline is technically over. Days of Future Past and Days of Future Present are a pretty good example of that. Days of Futur...
