Nuclear Weapons Studies

On By coilerxiiIn Blog Stuff, Essay2 Comments

I have an idea for teaching a class that would combine traditional history with red-teaming. This is of course just a fantasy, but this is a fantasy blog. The course would be called “Nuclear Weapons Studies”. It starts off with history and physics even I can understand. Then comes The Assignment.

Students are given a fictional country with a set government, GDP, and domestic industry. They have to present the story of that country’s nuclear weapons program and will be judged not just according to traditional metrics but also according to how ‘plausible’ it seems to me. And the program doesn’t have to be a successful one, just seriously attempted.

The Fuldapocalypse World War III Book is Out!

On By coilerxiiIn Blog Stuff2 Comments

A collection of essays by me that might have been inspired by blog posts I wanted to elaborate on, inspired by posts I never wrote, and just random inspirations, is now out in ebook and soon in paperback form.

It’s short and is kind of an unconventional stream of conciousness writing exercise, fair warning. But it does explain (partially) why I had fewer blog posts lately. Anyway, it was fun to write and I hope it’s fun to read.

Wither Fuldapocalypse?

As you may have guessed from my seemingly declining post time, I’m just losing steam on this blog. I’ve thought it’s things like games/writing/etc… and there’s some truth to that. But I feel there’s more to it than that. Like it’s harder to get the urge to blog even if I have the time.

If this blog fades away, so be it. Six years, one thousand posts, and totally changing my perspective on fiction for the better is completely worth it.

And if this can reinvent itself as something other than a review blog, than so be it as well. Either way, starting Fuldapocalypse has been one of the best decisions of my life. I just don’t want to force anything.
