Game in the Brain

 Closing this Chapter of my life – Tried to make a Short Audio Book. It took about 700php to play with Eleven Labs to convert my Short story. Something I could produce in my free time without much thought – just to prove I can generate the words, know how to structure, and get into detailed visualization.  I used the 22 USD plan (it was on sale for 11usd) – this Tutorial was how to use Projects Mode  – I walked in it may cost an additional 11 USD to learn to use this. 

What I would write about if I had the time and bandwidth would be a 1860 Philippine Altered History – an epic of a vengeful Aristocrat began conquering towns – and creating his own Petty Empire – only to fail – but his war in 1860 altered the martial traditions of the country and the power dynamics of the Towns with Manila. Guerrilla warfare doctrine was developed – and the wealth he accumulated before the fall of his petty empire created a military-industrial base that  made it that Spain and America didn’t fight untrained peasants against their veterans and Artillery in 1890s but guerrilla fighters who had 30 years of traditions and identity. 

Hacienderos did not lead the revolution but Warlords – a less western Philippines that has more in common with Malaysia and Indonesia, Vietnam, and Thailand – despite being mostly christian.  America would have still won, as they needed the Sugar and the Spanish plantations to boost their economy – but not in a position of overwhelming power. 

A novel of 19C warfare with the Philippines lost in time. Admittedly a power fantasy – If the Philippines got “Isekaied” to Redo the past and not get fucking screwed all the time.

Of course given all my Gaming and Writing aspirations – my gamer mind is best employed in hopefully making my country easier to live in – making Open source businesses work in the Philippines and displacing MS and Google options for software. Accepting I will not have the time or the opportunity to make a name in TRPGs. 

One of the things I would want to do is Convert Noli Me Tangere or “The social Cancer” something easier to listen to and then use Elven labs to convert it into an Audio Book.
