There are two movies from the 80s which have aged like fine wine: ALIENS & PREDATOR. 40 yrs ago I saw Aliens with my father in the theater. It would become one of my top 10 movies of all time. Sigourney Weaver would become one of the baddest, boldest women in film. Time to watch again this weekend.

GameStop can afford to hold/have Mario Day outside one of their main branches in NYC...but they can't afford to pay me or their other customers who preordered the games they owe (post store closures). Disgusting. #Gamestop

The #CinemaArtsCentre in Huntington, NY will present a special family screening of #Superman_II on Sunday, May 31st at 12:00 p.m., offering audiences the opportunity to experience one of the most beloved entries in the film series.

Not bad. Including today, 25-mile walk week. After today, weather will be abysmal again. So back to writing and RE9.

I don't believe it. I FOUND it. With some much needed chases, including 2026 Mighty K. One of my favorite #HotWheels. Every piece of #diecast here is either "anime" or "graffiti art" themed. #MightyK

Roller Toaster is a potential for top ten later this year. I love the 1960s retro aesthetic they did with this year's Mainline.

Do you have a Wii-U?

Love Bone Shaker. Have about 12 of these in Mainline, and 4 in Monster Truck form.

Last FANTASY car for today in #HotWheels & #diecast. Perfect for hobbyists building military sets, battlefields, campaigns, and the like. Enter: TANKNATOR. Pretty massive, turret and all. Looks like you can fit a LEGO mini-fig on top. #DiecastPhotography #ToyPhotography #CarPhotography #toys #cars

FANTASY CAR day continues with a "hard find." As in, TREASURE HUNT from CASE D/E. And this would be my third variation. Hot Wheengs (get it, Wheengs = Wings). It's a bottle of Tabasco Sauce on wheels. #HotWheels #Diecast #DiecastPhotography #ToyPhotography #CarPhotography #cars #toys #Matchbox

FANTASY CAR day continues in #HotWheels & #Diecast. Is it Year of the Cat already? Because everybody's favorite Maneki Cat is back. This year in GOLD. And that's Feline Lucky. This year his eyes are open, plus arm moves when you roll it #DiecastPhotography #ToyPhotography #CarPhotography #toys #cars

Welcome to FANTASY CAR day in #HotWheels & #Diecast. Today we have an interesting new car for 2026, called: EGGSHELLERACER. It's a cracked golden egg on a metal spoon on a racecar. Not sure if there's a yolk or chick underneath there. #DiecastPhotography #ToyPhotography #CarPhotography #toys #cars

Here is a DIRECT LINK to my #interview with Campfire Publishing. I talk about my vampire story. History & #Horror. And plug my new novella Gene Apart at the end. I highly recommend SUBBING to the newsletter, as they have open calls every few months aaronkcrocker.com/vfte-ldagsti...

I have this game on Vita. Never finished it. Interesting fact. This is a "reimagining" of the Super Famicom classic Ys 4: Mask of the Sun.

The Switch 2 dock just got a 3D-printed NES makeover A Reddit user has designed custom 3D-printed plates that transform the modern Nintendo Switch 2 dock into a miniature 1985 NES.

If you're new here, WELCOME. I talk about writing, reading, horror, science fiction, retro video games, and Hot Wheels on this Bluesky.

This one I didn't see. It's sweet. But the Target by me was well stocked today. They also had that new Batman 5-pack with the Catwoman car in black and Killer Croc van. I'm still waiting on Metro Sketch, which has the new Mighty K chase with anime on it.

Ordered my last (as in final) #NES game this morning before I left. NES games that I never passed or owned as a kid, but always wish I had. I'll show it off when it comes in. Only $10.00, too. Other than that, April 1st draws near. Video game retirement is three weeks away. #Retirement #Retrogaming

Possible rain tomorrow. May do two hours of light strength training from home.

I miss the Monday Night Wars, NWO, whole Attitude Era. We were spoiled back then.

Two rejects, one hold, one flash fiction acceptance. Meh. No complaints. Least I know the flash piece will be read by at least 100 people. #publishing #flashfiction #amwriting #writing

Oh yeah, here's today's #HotWheels hunt on the cheap. $5.00 + $5.00 + $3.00 = $13.00 in #diecast / #cars.

Another 9-mile day (aching). Also, another great #HotWheels hunt. Target 🎯 filled up the new 5-packs (some I never heard of, but needed two chases each multi-pack). $5.00 each. And Five-Below have Premium Car Culture "Real Riders" for $3.00. #DiecastPhotography #ToyPhotography #Diecast #Toys #Cars

Crazy weather, man. Next week back in the 30s/20s. Let me get the exercise in these few days while I can. Next week back to writing. #Weather #SunnyDays #ColdDays

#MATCHBOX continues with the Easter time PEEPS car; looking around still for the Mike N Ike #cars. The cute yellow Peeps car is actually a well made piece of #diecast (cast too). It's got a good paint job, and it's a classy 1962 Volkswagen Beetle. #DiecastPhotography #ToyPhotography #CarPhotography

Start off slow today with #MATCHBOX (not #HotWheels) found in the wild. In #diecast & #cars, the yellow-box collector series: 1980 Chevy Corvette in eye-candy red. LIKE something out of a fly 80s movie. Car is well made, weighty, quality, hits home #DiecastPhotography #ToyPhotography #CarPhotography

VFTE-LDagstine On Writing: Q: Some believe writers should, “write what you know”. Is this true? Why or why not? A: No. I think writing only what you know smacks of laziness on the writer’s part. You should put in…
