Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-30-26
Work did not allow for timely Pook-Emu Bee links, but today I return with nine new links from around the web. 1 Popular WordPress redirect plugin hid dormant backdoor for years (Bill Toulas for Bleeping Computer. April 29, 2026.) Not popular enough for me to have been using it (but do attend to the issue if you happen to be running Quick Page/Post Redirect on WordPress). 2. Waylay Callais! (Josh Blackman for The Volokh Conspiracy. April 30, 2026.) After much anticipation, the Supreme […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-04-30-26/

Schrödinger’s Ayatollah and Umineko: When They Cry
I read a cleverly-titled article by Amit Segal titled Schrödinger’s Ayatollah: Is Mojtaba Dead or Alive? The article examines the life status, or lack thereof, of Iran's purported Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei. As I read the article, I found myself thinking about the iconic Japanese visual novel, Umineko: When They Cry. Then I found myself thinking about the best of its many great music tracks, Happiness of Marionette. Then I had Happiness of Marionette playing on loop in my head. I […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/schrodingers-ayatollah-and-umineko-04-26-26/

Some shameless self-promotion for my #otomegame #visualnovel blog here.
I want to implement content warning lists for audience with triggers, considering it’s a very niche hobby and lists like those aren’t really readily accessible. (Fortunately I do enjoy darker content so I use this shitty super power to help others, I guess.)
Apart from that I’ll also be doing reviews of mainly Japanese Otome titles I’ve played and I’m trying to focus on those that have been picked up for localisation into english, so people can get a feeling for the games before making a decision to buy.
If that sounds like something you enjoy, please pay me a visit. My husband also worked hard on some polling and rating plugins considering the Wordpress landscape is a lot of subscriptions … if you like the plug-ins stay tuned because my dear 3D husband plans on making them public in the future. ♥️

We have some bite sized introduction to #ink posts for writing #interactivefiction / #visualnovels up on YouTube and I’m hoping to do a few more next week. I’ll definitely be doing a follow on about conditions (the different comparison operators and “switch” statements) and I’ll probably also do a video version of this blog post.
If you’ve got requests or ideas for other focused mini-videos let me know commenting here or over at the IntFiction forums (intfiction.org/t/ink-introdu...)

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-16-26
Today marks the 1957th anniversary of the death-by-suicide of the short-reigning Roman Emperor, Otho. I note this because my longest NLJ article, clocking it at more than 18,000 words, is about Otho. Fortunately, I also published some shorter Otho reading. But Otho aside, it is time for today's edition of Pook-Emu Bee links from around the web. 1. Gov. Mikie Sherrill demands FIFA foot the bill for World Cup transportation after reports NJ Transit could inflate train tickets by 775% ( Caitlin […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-04-16-26/

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-14-26
I did not have much time to engage in my daily "feed reading" this morning. But I will not let that stop me from publishing my daily Pook-Emu Bee links. 1. Justice Department Files Case to Revoke U.S. Citizenship of Mastermind Behind Multimillion-Dollar Tax Fraud Scheme (USCIS. April 13, 2026.) The marriage fraud allegations are a nice addition. It's always who you least expect. 2. Meet the NYC teen behind Brooklyn’s new official pin — coming soon to a lapel near you (Katherine Donlevy […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-04-14-26/

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-13-26
There were no Pook-Emu Bee links on Saturday because it was newsletter day (22 links in issue 275!). There were no Pook-Emu Bee links on Sunday because I failed. But today is Monday. Monday is a fun day. I will not fail. In fact, I may even have some bonus links (either to make up for yesterday or to keep my link list under control). 1. 420 Court's Façade Takes Shape in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn (Michael Young and Matt Pruznick for New York YIMBY. April 13, 2026.) Carroll Gardens is next […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-04-13-26/

"Experiencing Womanhood in A Year of Springs"

Google elimina la novel·la visual Doki Doki Literature Club (PEGI +18) de Google Play per representar “temes sensibles”.
No passarà res ja que és una novel·la visual. Qualsevol dia ho comencen a fer amb llibres convencionals.
(i aprofito per afegir que si bé és innegable que banalitza i explota aquests “temes sensibles”, també té uns punts de desestigmatització que m'atreviria a defensar)

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 03-28-26
There was no Pook-Emu Bee links yesterday because it was newsletter day. But I am back early this Sunday morning (before I go to bed) with the first edition of the Pook-Emu Bee for the new week. 1. The Bird of Paradise you want is NOT the best one to grow in your house (Alex Calamia for News 12 Brooklyn. March 18, 2026.) My first thought was the avian bird of paradise. 2. The Vapidity of Jeffrey Epstein’s Friends (John Hinderaker for Power Line. February 9, 2026.) I concur that even […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-03-28-26/

New blog: VisualInk Tutorial Videos
blog.mavnn.eu/2026/03/13/vis...
Basically what it says on the tin, but if you have videos you'd like to see, or comments on what is there, this is a good place to leave them.

VisualInk allows you to build #visualnovels quickly and easily, but like any tool you do need to know how to use it.
To make getting started easier, we've started releasing short videos (all under 10 minutes) on how to use #ink to build your own #interactivefiction .

Ich verstehe #VIsualNovels nicht. Ich lese jetzt schon seit einer Stunde monoton Text im so gelobten "Chaos:Head" und darf gar nix entscheiden. Ist das immer so?

This is amazing! After just one session with Ink, one of our under 11 students has started producing multiple #visualnovels. Bearing in mind he's not been shown anything but 'diverts' and 'knots' (ways to jump to named parts of your script) there are pretty solid. I'm going to be sharing more of them later, but I was excited enough I wanted to share at least one straight away 😁

So, the year I'm recovering from chronic fatigue probably isn't the ideal year to try #NaNoRenO. But then, I did just build @VisualInk... #VisualNovels

"[Videoverse] is a reminder of what we forget as we grow up. What we lose when technology moves on without us. How a chance meeting can change our lives forever. Why temporary experiences still matter.
Why video games mean so much to us."

New round of [courses for under 18s](https://www.thinkersmeetup.com/scholars/michael-newton) interested in #writing #visualnovels starts next week, so it's time to start releasing the improvements to [VisualInk](https://visualink.mavnn.eu/) that we discovered would be useful in the last run through of the course.

Prototyping a new view for allowing readers to view their history, and authors to quickly got an overview of the script.
It's not quite ready for release yet, but it is starting to get there. Just needs a bit more love to get it formatted more like an actual movie script, and to include scene change markers for when the background changes.

Know someone 9-18 who loves stories? Week starting 23rd February is the next round of "Coding Games with a Story", a five week introduction to creating #visualnovels using our very own VisualInk. We're also hoping to host a writing club for under 18s who have decided to build a full game now that two cohorts have already gone through and enjoyed the course (writers using other #interactivefiction tools are also welcome to join the writing club).
