What could possibly go wrong?

I'm not introverted, just misanthropic.

[kamo @tihsfs]

@benjanun_s Yeah. The story and aesthetics were great, but unfortunately the gameplay was garbage.

A reminder that the Strange Horizons annual fund-drive is still on!

Just over two weeks left, and we're presently looking to hit our two special issue stretch goals: neurodiversity in SFF, and body horror!

To help us get there: https://t.co/53pa9lzsUK

After making our base goal, we've hit our first stretch goal, WHICH MEANS that in 2024, we will bring you a special issue on Japanese SFF, edited by the incomparable @rikka_zine!

Thank you for making it so.

THE MATRIX was released 24 years ago today. One of the most iconic and groundbreaking movies of its generation, the making of story is a fascinating one.

@aghvesagirk I’ve never played a fishing minigame that was actually fun. A handful have been tolerable at best.

[kamo @tihsfs]

@UrsulaV @Rechanmole On a related note, suppositories. Much more effective for delivering certain drugs to where they’re most easily absorbed, but patients are less keen…

[kamo @tihsfs]

@jeremyyellen I don’t think it’s that unusual, but I feel like I’ve only ever seen it used in book reviews. File next to “bravura”, perhaps?

[kamo @tihsfs]

@ozAntinnippon @liminalcat Congratulations to both of you!

[kamo @tihsfs]

@benjanun_s It’s the lack of fast travel that did it for me. I keep meaning to pick it up again but have forgotten all the controls and don’t want to repeat the tutorial stages.

Good Moaning. Today’s headlines are brought to you by Officer Crabtree.

The Malaysian edition of the award-winning #SpiritsAbroad by @zenaldehyde is back in stock! You may get it from @kedaifixi or @mylitbooks or whatsapp the link in our bio 😃

[kamo @tihsfs]

@TasteyFlav Yeah. Spent a night there for my kid’s birthday last year. He loves rabbits. He didn’t visit the museum. Very very bizarre place all round; half Disney, half Watership Down.

Strange Horizons' first special issue of 2023 is live. https://t.co/FoRjfdsjQ5

It is our annual Criticism Special Issue, and this one is dedicated to Maureen K. Speller, our beloved reviews editor who left us last year.

@danhartland's thread below will take you through it.

@ZackDavisson The bus stop scene is the most impeccable few minutes of film ever committed to celluloid.

[kamo @tihsfs]

@girlandkat Not for Covid, but used a similar test for other things. The trick was to place the cloth bit *under* the tongue and (forgive me) have a really wet mouth. They need to absorb a lot to work.
