Doing one last retweet for this before I start putting things together. If you contributed to the MIA Tales from the Quarantine and still want to see your page(s) in print, get in touch. Please share with anyone you know who was involved, and retweet for maximum visibility.

So it's February and there's still no evidence that the full Tales from the Quarantine book exists, despite hundreds of copies supposedly being sent out by now. With that in mind, I'm going to press ahead with my plan to salvage what we can from this whole mess. 1/

I'd love for Farrell to get an Oscar for Inisherin, but I really hope it compels more people to watch After Yang which is an incredibly beautiful and delicate movie with Farrell as its emotional core.

Veteran Irish actor Colin Farrell delivered four great performances last year, and one of them may nab him a well-deserved Oscar: denofgeek.com/movies/no-acto

Still unreasonably annoyed by the fact that the official synopsis for Avengers Endgame said Thanos "decimated" the universe, when decimate means to kill one in ten, not half.

Get on this ASAP. 16 speed punk tracks, only one of which is longer than 2m 30s. What I especially love is that even though it's heavy as anything, Ginger can't help writing absolutely killer pop hooks so every song is an earworm.

Could this finally be the spiritual heir to Stunt Car Racer that I've been waiting for all my life?

The theoretical first-person view is unlikely to end up this way, but this technical test does show some promise! (not #TurboDismount) #gamedev #indiedev

Quite a few of you already contacted me before Christmas - if you did that, I still have the info you gave me on file. If you haven't already been in touch, and want your work to be included, drop me a DM. I have a form set up for you to fill in. 6/

You will not have to cover printing costs for this, and I will not be doing any crowdfunding or anything like that. At most I may have to ask you to cover P&P depending on how many copies are needed. 5/

What this is: A way for contributors - particularly those newcomers who were going to be making their published debut in TFTQ - to have a hard copy of their work, either for their portfolio or for their own satisfaction. 4/

As I proposed back in November/December last year, I'll work with to collate pages from whoever still wants their pages in print, and put together a book that can be quickly printed and delivered. There are important caveats. Please read the whole thread. 2/
