I jumped and got me Arma Reforger for PC. I found a small and nice little community of like minded people to play with and am having a ton of fun. So glad I gave that game a second chance.
I’ve been trying to set up roms and an emulator on my computer. Is been going good so far. I’m mostly used to setting them up on my phone. Can’t wait to play street fighter; I might even set up online play
Studied/learned more Esperanto. Wrote more short stories. Worked on a little craft book nook. Studied/learned more math. Started my own Lemmy instance. Started a new rowing program. Worked out. Did my “one mile a day” runs (trying to do it for 365 days straight). Put up floor-to-ceiling bookshelves in my living room. And started learning sign language with my girlfriend.
Writing stories. Not very good ones but many of them at least.
Keep writing. As the late GREAT Ed Wood said: “Keep writing. Your story may not get better, but your writing will.”
This is truth!

Hey, thanks for your lovely comment. I really wish to be in your position one day. How long have you been writing for?
I’ve been writing for about 15 years. Only got really serious about it about 3 years ago. And now I am retired, I take it way more seriously and am working on honing my craft. I’ve published stories here to Lemmy too.
I consider myself the world’s ‘okayest’ writer, haha. But it’s been working for me! Actually, the criticism I receive on Lemmy, especially the over-the-top petty and hateful comments, has been quite beneficial; it’s great for brainstorming when I need someone incompetent or blindly loyal in my stories. These critiques inspire many of the characters in my narratives.
If you want, here are some fo the stories I’ve written on my Lemmy journey: https://lemm.ee/c/talesfromthedark
