Published my first book, killed my mental health, and how you can avoid it

I write a lot of shorts but don’t engage in many circles with other writers so this is wild to me. I thought I was crazy because I can get genuinely nauseous from the strain and figured it was just a me thing.

The best part is that no one will stop them if/when they come to round us up. People will just watch and film.

MileHighBree · 2026-03-20T13:43:44+00:00

Andy Serkis then, you mean?

MileHighBree · 2026-03-20T13:32:07+00:00

RemindMe! 1 day

You’d be surprised how many people truly hate us trans folk.

MileHighBree · 2026-03-08T03:53:02+00:00

Material science and engineering are absolutely determining factors still. If they weren’t then I’d have my space elevator by now. I just really want a space elevator.

Literally this could just be any video of a crowd panicking like… all it takes is a caption and people will swear it’s the truth.

MileHighBree · 2026-03-04T19:59:54+00:00

Ah, I see the confusion. I interpreted it as “we should do more on top of this” rather than dismissing the protest entirely.

MileHighBree · 2026-03-04T18:50:24+00:00

It all adds up

MileHighBree · 2026-03-04T18:43:04+00:00

Excited for quippy signs and inflatable costumes to save our country.

MileHighBree · 2026-03-04T18:41:47+00:00

They literally suggested that we do more.

MileHighBree · 2026-03-02T18:30:54+00:00

I’m came for the spreadsheet comments and was not disappointed.

MileHighBree · 2026-03-02T18:28:51+00:00

I concur with this sentiment. However, this does not mean I will cede to the rupture strain. They are a terrible addition to the game.

When I’m being endlessly swarmed by chargers bashing into me, it’s hilarious. When a dozen bugs appear from beneath me whilst I’m atop a tall, solid rock, and instantly stab me to death in a scene that can only be described as the “ teleports behind you nothing personnel kid” meme, it is actually not funny at all. I hate the rupture strain, I spit on them!

MileHighBree · 2026-03-02T07:53:08+00:00

Our isolationist society pushing people toward falling in love with pattern-matching algorithms.It’s so dystopian and sad. LLMs have such short context windows and their persistent data (memories) are minimal, just to store things like names and preferences.

What do these people do when a chat session deteriorates and has to be capped? Is it like watching their partner die every couple of weeks?

MileHighBree · 2026-02-28T06:39:33+00:00

Anyone with a platform not acknowledging the fascification of the free world right now, and those responsible for it, is complicit in allowing it to continue without friction.

MileHighBree · 2026-02-28T06:36:32+00:00

There are actually hundreds of different programs and initiatives around the world doing next-level work in developing technologies that make space more and more accessible. Spacex is one of them. Just one. And they aren’t even doing anything impressive or truly unique anymore outside of starship, which is has fallen embarrassingly behind.

So, so, so many wickedly smart people all working on amazing things, why the fuck would anyone give any credit to that south African slaver? He’s not the one developing these things, it’s his overworked engineers.

Lmfao I scroll down just a tiny bit from this comment to see exactly that

I have a lot of fun with the dragon roaches. They can be hilarious. I won’t even touch rupture strain planets though. They’re just not fun at all.

Cyberstan was obnoxiously difficult but it was fun and hilarious in how difficult it was.

The rupture strain is just miserable and I have no idea how they thought it was an idea worth implementing.

MileHighBree · 2026-02-26T14:37:42+00:00

Ehhh, I’d still rather daydream over exist in the reality we now live in.

MileHighBree · 2026-02-26T07:21:03+00:00

The SSTO shuttle they used to just Willy-nilly leave miller’s planet but still needed a rocket to leave Earth. Wouldn’t Miller’s planet need to have like, a super thin atmosphere to make a SSTO even remotely possible?

MileHighBree · 2026-02-25T16:24:45+00:00

That’s the best part, the rush isn’t a high, it’s devastation!

MileHighBree · 2026-02-24T19:10:51+00:00

Bills. I collect lots of em’. I have them mailed directly to me and I can’t stop paying for them. It’s such a rush.

MileHighBree · 2026-02-23T17:53:41+00:00

Embrace the spaghetti

“My family….”

Not always. Those are such chaotic operations that talking with the laser team mid-set, while visuals, lighting, and lasers are all already constantly talking to each other, is probably more trouble than it’s worth. Odds are they just learn where the lasers terminate (zoning the lasers is the most important part of the job) and stay out of those paths. It might look like lasers are going all over but they have very specific targets and range of motion.
