🚨 GEM HISTORY THREAD ALERT 🚨 Have you ever heard of the c. 1370 BC Minoan revolt against their Mycenaean overlords?

@elbethium Have you been mogmogged?

"elbethium, how on earth do you have 5000 hours in Crimson Desert??" - I dont know

@VisionaryVoid Caption card: "Je recherche Sarah Connor".

Archivists recently uncovered what may be the first depiction of a robot in cinema. A 127-year-old film reel, found gathering dust in a garage in Grand Rapids, Michigan, turned out to be a long-lost 1897 film by Georges Méliès. This marks the first time the footage has been shown in more than a century.

@AlabasterMiss @britishlibrary Hwæt!

Just had a properly funny turn in the @britishlibrary when suddenly confronted by the actual text of #Beowulf. It's so beautiful & we almost lost it. BRB, just crying over Jane Austen's reading glasses...

@HistoricHub So they paved paradise, and put up a parking lot?

A man browses the shelves in Cincinnati’s old Public Library, which was demolished in 1955. After demolition, the site was paved over and turned into a parking lot. Today, it is occupied by an office building and a parking garage

@messedupfoods 1 down, 413, 792 to go.

@NotTodayEric In the words of Status Quo, "down, down, deeper and down"

Scrolling to my birth year counts as trauma.

@SpillTheMemes Me, a Brit thinking "those words don't rhyme"

😂

@GenXTalks1 Directions: "Wait 4 hours before taking next dose." Me: "Four hours from when?" My brain:

@danbarker Could happen to anyone. The last time someone stole an expensive egg, the security guard got sacked.

I'm trying to imagine what the feeling must be like to reach down for your bag in the pub, only to realise the £2.2million object you were taking home from work has been stolen.

@ThatEricAlper Your fault for telling them where you live.

@RobNeto_Author @ThrillaRilla369 And that feeling of awkwardness when trying to explain to people where the handle comes from.

@ThrillaRilla369 What do you mean ended?? I still have a Hotmail email!

If your first email ended in @ yahoo, @ hotmail, or @ msn… you have seniority on the internet.

Legend has it that Don is still smiling today.

@1ssve When I worked remotely, I started earlier and finished later. Also lack of background chatter, the cackling of colleagues elsewhere on our floor and other distractions made me a lot more productive.

Someone said “people working from home are just pretending to work” and I’m like, what do you think they’re doing from the office?

@elbethium @MortalShellGame I was planning on going down the flail route, but then needed a high speed DPS weapon for a certain canine controlling adversary 😉 so picked Old Mournstead spear and maxed it out. Never actually used the Remembrances.

This and @MortalShellGame Are getting a Titanfall 2 level of an upgrade to the sequel from the first game.

@saintpen10 It has been, and may well remain a WIP for a while. There are four in the series so far; #1, #1.5 (a short story to link to #2) #2 and #3, which I'm editing at present. There are plans for 3a and 3b (more shorts) and then #4. But still very much work ongoing right now.

@The_Grey_Writer Woohoo! That's great, you are writing on my favorite genre. What stage is your manuscript?

When you're reading your editing notes for the WIP and one note just says "What happened to the minotaur?" #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #amediting

Who's in for a game of Striker?

@saintpen10 Fantasy, set in a late Bronze Age Middle East - sort of.

@The_Grey_Writer What genre are you writing?
