No writing today, but I did get to answer my friends @codablue.bsky.social and @kaliperezwrites.bsky.social's burning questions about THE DEVOURING during their final book club meeting for it on Discord. I cannot tell you the number of times I laughed on mute while they speculated (wrongly). 😄❤️

Need a fast-paced horror thriller to liven up the middle of your week? THE DEVOURING is an edge-of-your-seat novel about a married couple who uncover an occult conspiracy at the heart of their city—and the malevolent god lurking beyond its veil. Get your copy! amshilling.com/books #booksky 💙📚

it is kind of wild how 'ai' was a perfectly useful term for decades in talking about npc behavior in video games and now you cant use it without seeming like youre flagging allegiance to the death cult

I have been pressured into playing Shaq Fu for the SNES now before we end tonight, get in here!!!

There are no video games without video game developers. Trillionaire corporations will continue to treat devs as line items on a balance sheet unless we fight back. Join us on August 18th to #SaveGameWorkers, as we rally across nine studios in the US and Canada. More location details to come soon.

It's officially my birthday! 37 years means I get 37 wishes, right? jk jk I do not need or want anything, but if you're feeling up for it, a kind word about my book would go a long way—such as a rec to a friend/family member, a review on Goodreads or StoryGraph, or a repost of the ongoing sale. ❤️

It's my birthday this week! To celebrate, the eBook of THE DEVOURING is on sale for $0.99 between August 3-9. If you've been thinking of buying it but haven't had a chance yet, now's the perfect time! 💙📚 Links to buy are on my website: amshilling.com/books/the-devouring/

I finally decided to play the Deltarune demo. I LOVE it but calling Suzie a "mean girl" when I associate that term w/ socially savvy top-of-the-food-chain queen bee types who punch down is tripping me up every time. Delinquent butch Barney drinking milk in backalley saucers is just some punkass kid

Alright, babes. If I open up art commissions before I "hard launch" my VGen so I can make a little extra $$$ to pay some fees my state keeps increasing, what would you want from me?

🎨 I spent some time on this non-commission piece using one of @foleso.bsky.social's OCs to test the coloring greyscale method out. I'm gonna be trying a few different things with my art on the side as I work it out. But what do you think? #art

I'm still in search and willing to broaden it to personal suggestions and folks u trust 🫶🏾

Everyone who's getting hacked on Discord... how did it happen to you? Like genuinely, did you click on a bad link from a hacked mutual? What innocuous thing gave them access? I'm getting these spam pings like crazy and I want to understand. I feel like an epidemiologist watching a goddamn outbreak.

If you enjoyed the new avatar and headquarters featured in @bvigaming.bsky.social Summer Game Fest Showcase, I am soft-launching lowpoly 3D outsourcing services and would like to solicit new collaborations for games and virtual production to build a client portfolio. Hmu or share with someone!
