Thinking about https://hardware.slashdot.org/story/19/08/03/044207/marty-the-grocery-store-robot-called-ominous-mostly-useless and how, if the robot wasn't a black monolith with obinously glowing blue lights, it'd probably be better received. Make it blockier, brightly colored panels over a generic powder-coated beige/grey/silver chassis, maybe some 11x17" print ads.

New story by me: "Self-debugging"
The story of an AI who's experiencing weird memory problems, and turns to a chatroom for help.

And then I'll start on the Secret Krampus writing prompt. 25 days to finish that one.

5654 words. That's enough that I can go write up the #Radchdome story without feeling like I'm neglecting this story.

Are there people today who nationally identify as Soviets, as opposed to identifying with one of the post-USSR countries? Why might they do so?

This question brought to you by KSR's Icehenge, published in 1984, which imagined a distant future in which Americans and Soviets were still dominant factions. Would there be Soviets without the USSR?

In Zeta #Gundam it's confirmed that Von Braun city is built around the footprint of Neil Armstrong. This is neat worldbuilding detail, but

Why do I feel that it's sacrilege?

5200 words at last count, but progress on this story has paused mostly while life priorities took the fore.

I think I successfully quashed the idea in https://writing.exchange/@ontploffing/102485512034990226

Thanks to #radchdome content, now I want to write a story of an AI self-diagnosing themself with dysmorphia-related mental issues through forum posts. I'm gonna hold off on this until I get some plot progress in this big project, however. #amwriting

The emboldened WILLE attack Neo-Tokyo 3 and discover that all their plans were predicted by Gendo, who has been feeding WILLE as a possible successor to his fallen NERV. Gendo challenges Shinji in a duel of emotion.

WILLE replaces NERV as the ruler of Neo-Tokyo 3 and the planet, and reaches for the stars, only to be smacked down by SEELE with its Angels.

But Shinji, warmed by the light of his mother's AT Field, punches through, and frees the world.

It's been so long since the Second Impact destroyed Earth's surface that none now remember it happened.

In an underground village, running away from his absentee step-parents, Shinji comes across Eva Unit-01 and its command center.

An MP Eva cracks open the geofront that houses their city; Shinji tells Ritsuko and Ritsuko launches Shinji in the Eva to fight the MP Eva.

Wandering the wastes after the death of Ritsuko, Shinji finds a Pribnow Box and opens it to find Rei.

SEELE as The Anti-Spiral.
WILLE as Team Gurren, and eventually Team Dai-Gurren and the government of Earth.
Kaworu Nagisa as Viral
The Mass-Production Evangelions as the Beastmen
