Hi! Calvin Atreides here. #ScienceFiction enthusiast, particularly of #Dune and #StarTrek. Part-time writer, collector of strange tomes, and proud #librarian.

Host of the Atreides Outpost at @atreidesoutpost.

I apologize for the delay on Atreides Outpost. It’s been a hectic past couple of weeks. But the good news is after this weekend I plan to begin news and review #Dune posts!
We of House Atreides know the value of centuries of good branding. Unlike #Twitter, our bird isn’t going anywhere.

I’m looking forward to the #Dune coloring book. I’m also not the kind of person who colors those in, but I might try.

We of the Atreides Outpost don’t care for this #X thing. I mean, powered by AI? We’re pretty sure that violates several Butlerian Jihad restrictions.

We’re maintaining our presence on the #Fediverse and #Mastodon thank you very much.

If #DunePartTwo is postponed, I don’t mind. I support the #WritersStrike and #ActorsStrike, and honestly battling AI is one of the most #Dune things imaginable.
My computer is fixed! I’m going to go back to posting - but thank you for all the #ScienceFiction book recs. Gives me a lot of material to check out!

Getting my computer back from repairs tomorrow, and after that’s done posting will become much easier.

I noticed people wanted #Dune book and movie updates from my poll, so that will be a focus. 

The 1992 #VideoGame adaptation of #Dune. The game is an adventure-strategy game with text elements. Diverges fairly strongly from the book and even the #DavidLynch #Dune1984, but provides an interesting experience and is overall one of the better Dune games.

One of the differences is when Feyd kidnaps Paul’s love interest Chani, effectively forcing Paul into a “your princess is in another castle” plotline where you have to raid Harkonnen fortresses to get her back.

I’m glad to see so many #Dune fans here on Mastodon. We’re a small fandom, but I also think we’re a growing one.
