I did that at first, but realised I'd never make any progress when doing so.

First I heard of that show was through DBZA.

Aye! Plenty of opportunities to buckle some swashes.

#AwesomeCharacters Since my drawing skill never levelled up from "doodling stick figures in the back my high school planner"...I have some Hero Forges of Kestrel and Scar.

Depends on the venue. Arthur would be after Eitri's famed "Iron Brew", made in the steel works of the far north.

Although ales are seldom served in Starkbucks...

Survived my first week in my new job (hence why I've been quiet on here).

Still getting used to the early starts. It's been a while.

Personally, I find Total Jobs to be the worst offender for irrelevant locations.

But I've seen roles everywhere that list my city in the location field and then somewhere completely different in the body of the advert.

A couple weeks ago, I saw one job I'd seen in December get re-posted on CV Library, which I'd previously dismissed due to a discrepancy with the location.

I applied so I could subtly call them out over it.

Never played the game, but this cracked me up.

Insert TF2 line here.

Hello! I'm Andy, also known as A. J. Roberts and Skeffington Liquorish.

I write pulpy action-adventure stories in historical settings, but I also dabble in poetry and screenwriting.

I'll also ramble about movies, TV, video games, and TTRPGs.

The entire millennial identity is being prepared and groomed for a version of the world that stopped existing by the time we reached it

we slammed into a horizon painted on a brick wall like fucking looney tunes

#WeeknightWriters Nope. Nothing's ready for editing at this point.

#WeeknightWriters Aye. Might as well take advantage of it while I still have free time.

#WeeknightWriters Hi, I'm Andy. I'm working on a pilot episode for a fantasy sitcom.

Although most of my writing this week was documenting events of a video game playthrough for a potential rpg homebrew.

I learned tonight that Rob Grant, one of the co-creators of Red Dwarf, has recently passed away.

It got me thinking about a campaign I was in last year called "Scum and Vindaloo". It was basically a Scum and Villainy campaign where everyone was playing characters from Red Dwarf.

I played Rimmer.

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

Hi @extracredits.bsky.social

I'm looking for the final episode of your fascinating Historical Tyrants series on YouTube, but it's not showing up. Has it been delayed?

(apologies for not messaging directly: I can't access that feature on Bluesky because I don't trust the age verification process)

Kestrel and Scar are practically buddy pirates.

I'd say about eight years. I'm still figuring out the timeline.

#AwesomeCharacters For Kestrel and Scar, they're both bisexual.

Kestrel prefers women, but he's had intimate relationships with men too. In fact, he and Scar are in a civil partnership of sorts that involves swinging.

Scar doesn't talk much, but he favours relations with men (as well as Kestrel).
