So it’s the end of July and I find myself with a grand total of 369 subscriber and I sit at my work desk, when I should be doing work, wondering how the hell that happened!!
However it happened I'm glad you’re all here in my small little part of the SubStack Universe, now known as the SSU. (Funnily enough, a search of SSU bring up lots of images of half naked Eastern Asian men so I won’t be searching for that again lol.)(I also finally used the SubStack Ai picture generator thing.)
The last time I released a “look at me, look at my previous articles” post was back on the 1st March. Since then I’ve gained 175 new subscribers. Crazy. Also, take a moment and think about what has happened globally since the 1st March. It’s insane and hard to keep up with.
Anyways I’m here to write this and once again pimp out my previous stuff for you to peruse.
I hope there is something for you to enjoy. I’m not a journalist or a historian. I didn’t go to university, hell I barely scraped through secondary school with C grades as I got 90% on exams but didn’t bother doing the coursework. I wonder how my life would be if I hadn’t discovered the joys of girls and underage drinking when I became a teenager lol.
Anyways the first post I’m going to highlight is this one.
Revanius Oak. A beginning
This idea popped into my head whilst I was bored on watch. It’s 00:45 in the morning. I’ve never done anything like this before. Every day is a learning day as they Royal Navy likes to say. Criticism accepted lol.
I had never before attempted a short story of any kind and I had been having fun on watch reading some of the stuff on DnD Beyond. Please have a read and tell me what you think. I value all criticism both good and bad but if you give me bad criticism you might get blocked……………………..thats a joke………..maybe…….……lol.
Now I’m a geek. I love Anime, video-games, comics and things like board games and DnD. So it’s devastating how the state of things I love has been treated by the Progressive Left. The worst part is that when companies are called out on their bullshit they refuse to do the one thing that might alleviate things a little. Own up and say sorry. For what it’s worth. CA did say sorry for their fuck up and it looks like Total War Warhammer 3 is going in the right direction.
Why do companies find it so hard to say two little words?
Let me start by saying that I am a geek and a nerd. I always have been and always will be. I love fantasy settings with the usual tropes of wizards, knights, heroes, saving the day and (maybe) getting the princess. I also love the Sci-Fi settings. Showing us what technological wonders humans might eventually design. I would love the human race to come i…
The next thing that occurred to me whilst I was on watch, was the power of words. Words matter, especially here in the SSU. I love the word Serendipity and I bet if you think about it, lots of little serendipitous acts have happened throughout your life. Put it down to God or luck or karma. Comment below on a happy accident that happened to you.
My Favorite Word: Serendipity
So the other day I was in a brief on board my ship and the Commodore with us made a reference about getting the correct wordage on the brief, which, was due to be sent to someone important who was working ashore. It got me musing about words during one of my looong 8 hour watches. (I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. Watch-keeping sucks.) This soon…
When I finished my time on HMS Queen Elizabeth last year, to the detriment of my knee. I went back to teaching baby sailors and realised that I actually quite like teaching young minds. Especially when they bring up politics. I would try to point them in the right direction and I think a couple even joined the SSU.
The Joys of Teaching
Good day everyone!! I hope you’re all doing well. Christmas is around the corner. The tree is up, I already have some food in the freezer, I’ve been watching Harry Potter and I’ve started to buy gifts. I’ve gotten everyone vouchers (its a cop out I know) though I have gotten the younger members of my family proper gifts. Bluey (how cool is Bandit) and P…
Now we come to possibly my favourite piece and it’s only because it’s such a fantastic show. People might sneer or turn up their noses but Naruto has more lessons that can be learned by a kid than a lot of the crap that’s put out today. If you start watching Naruto I promise you wouldn’t regret it or your money back.
Why Naruto Rules
So I’m a geek and a nerd. I love comics, video games, DnD etc so this is my case for Naruto.
This was my first attempt at writing a short story set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe using original characters and places. Once again tell me what you think and if it’s bad, well then you know what happens……………I’m joking jeez.
The Guardsman
So today I’m writing a short story set in my favourite universe and hobby. Warhammer 40,000. I know it’s not for everyone. If you do read and enjoy please tell me. If you think it’s shit. Please tell me (I can take it) as I want to learn. So here we go.
It’s now saying I’m nearing the email length limit so I shall stop for now. I hope people that have newly joined read my older works and enjoy them.
