Fortunate enough to have short stories published in several amazing anthologies! Also like to talk gaming, music and movies, animals and... I dunno, cars? LGBTQ+ folks are of course welcome, weird Nazis less so... https://linktr.ee/Winst0lf?s=09
So Microsoft gave me an £8 voucher for... Some reason (not complaining, maybe they like me)... I got Death Stranding with it. Not played a Kojima game since MGS3 (on the PS2)... Kinda looking forward to making Norman Reedus carry loads of boxes around!

Gremlins 2, what a stone cold classic! Shame all the versions out there these days have the Hulk Hogan scene though, the VHS copy we had as kids had a John Wayne scene instead, which was much funnier!

A few months ago, someone came into the local writers’ club looking for help in editing his life story. That help turned out to be me. As it turns out, he’s lived through some wild things, and I’m glad I got to help him turn it into something for other people to read. 🧵1/7
Here's the edit of yesterday's adventures! Thanks for all the interest on yesterday's posts too youtu.be/rITsfg6bUeA?... #motosky #offroad #motorcycle #scrambler

Well I've been away from Bluesky for a bit, guess I'd beat wriggle my way back in! While I've been gone I got addicted to Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, cos what a game that is! Anyway, completed that and now I'm paying the first one, which is still awesome, and still has plenty of medieval action!

This one was REALLY tough Pix, got my brain boiling! I've gone for Tech Noir 2 by Gunship in the end, cos it's a hopeful sort of song about rebuilding from the ashes, and the world could do with a bit of hope these days! Also it's just a sick lil tune! music.youtube.com/watch?v=7ew1...

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...
