@clarkesworld Wow. What I can't understand is someone thinking this would work. 2 seconds playing with a story bot and you can see what they can and can't do.

@BaronDestructo One if not the best episode in the series and a personal favorite.

I haven't been huge on Nerf, although I liked them. But this is amazing and a must grab on many levels. https://t.co/8IBNRdCCLQ

@spacejock Very cool. And mostly how I pictured it would be like when I was playing the original Elite in the 80's.

@JRBale1 Many years ago I gave away a free book around Christmas. I gave away 13,000 copies. Out of those 100 left a star review. And 5 left comments with them. Since then the numbers are far less. It is extremely difficult to get real reviews. I think many reviews are fake/paid for

[Don DeBon @DonDeBon]

@straczynski It is certainly one of my favorite moments.

@Arpeebee @spacejock @wacom Isopropyl alcohol 70% or so. And I am sure you do, I do the same, but the world if full of dust/dirt and it don't take much when it gets between the nib and tablet to scratch. Back when touch screens used a stylus, wiping before (and during) use was a good idea.

[Don DeBon @DonDeBon]

@spacejock @Arpeebee @wacom I've found one needs to clean the pen nib and tablet surface *every* time you start to use it. A little iso and tissue works great. Otherwise scratches will happen and nibs wear down fast. The plastic sheet trick is good too.

[Don DeBon @DonDeBon]

@spacejock Ouch! Thanks for the tip.

@clarkesworld Remember, doctors are just practicing.

[Don DeBon @DonDeBon]

@spacejock Ah, I have been using Photoshop. I know many people use Indesign (or similar) for both, but I find it a lot faster/easier with yWriter->LaTex for interiors. I will check out Affinity though. From what I see so far, I really like. Especially since it is not subscription.

[Don DeBon @DonDeBon]

@spacejock Yes I use the same method. So I was wondering why are you using Affinity publisher instead? Or is that just for the hardbacks? Easier to do it with Affinity rather than LaTex?
