Short story writer, published in 5 anthologies and counting! Wish I had more time to read... I feel it's a good time to point out that I'll always stand by the trans community, and LGBTQ people as a whole... https://linktr.ee/Winst0lf?s=09

My good friend has only gone and created this absolute tome of SNES RPG goodness, hasn't he? If you like unique and pretty books, and also 16 bit RPGs, then this is an absolute steal

Always amazes me how prevalent it is now. There's official documents flying around work that have been entirely generated in the bloody thing... And you can always tell!

Amen to that! I wrote a comedy poem for a colleague today, and someone said "nice work on ChatGPT" and that was not cool πŸ˜‚

I got called a ChatGPT hater today, only person in my team who refuses to entertain the damn thing!

The time has come, Interesting Times: a Hopepunk Anthology is now up on Kickstarter!

I may be contributing, but I'm also backing the project, cos I want that sweet paperback and extras, for my Shelf of Cool Items!

Get it backed, story fans!

Oh no, is there a chance of that happening? And if so then I suppose you can do all of those things?

Text reads: A special thank you goes to my fellow Greek mythology geeks, Em ans Audrey. Thank you for always thinking of me when you see anything Medusa-related, and for always being there to geek out about all things mythological with me.

Ah that's a shame, but I'm glad you have the tablet as a solid backup! I used to have a colossal dvd collection, but got rid of maybe 2/3s of it a few years back, cos my house is tiny. Kept my favourites though!

Those heady pre catch up days, eh? I'm kinda talking myself into rewatching them now lol, might dig my lovely dvd boxsets out...

Cool, hope you like it as much as I do! There was a sequel series set in the 80s too, Ashes to Ashes, that was just as good!

I reckon you'd enjoy it you know! It's set around Manchester in the 70s, very twisty and mysterious, and the characters are really good (especially DCI Gene Hunt)

That does sound awesome to be fair... Reminds me a little bit of Life on Mars, which was a really, really good BBC drama!

I would have been 13 I think, so I was probably up in my room on the PlayStation πŸ˜‚

Millicent would catch it humanely and eject it before her dorm mates freak out, Decima would leave it, as she'd find it fascinating to watch

Urgh I hate leaks! Any house illness (that is the technical term) stresses me out, but water based ones are by far the worst! Hope you can get it sorted soon

If they did mercenary work, I'd hire them! I bet they'd tidy away their webs afterwards too, and be super efficient... And wear tiny helmets and armour. And scorpions? Tanks.

Millicent is a pupil at a posh private academy, even though she's not from a landed family, and got in on an outreach program from the workhouses.

Decima was a highly regarded scientist and philanthropist in life, and in death is now an undead cyborg killing machine...
