I do think it's amusing that the UK's new one-way effector drone (the effect being, "boom") is called "Nyan"
Mother couldn't make it for my birthday since she was having lunch with Princess Anne (as one does), but she sent this cross-stitch that she made
It's called "enshittification". Strengthen publishers and shareholders, weaken beloved media. With remakes this can be done imperceptibly over time.
I could see an adaptation of Solaris (1972) working as a game, though it would be an indie kind of project rather than a AAAA
"The Moon belongs to America, and eagerly awaits the arrival of our astro-men"
I'm at the point where I've been staring at it for so long that I'm no longer objective. How legible do you reckon this is?
Cheffie the Chef also has her dark reflection, Punished Cheffie/Venom Cheffie
Cheffie the Chef is made up of a whole lot of bits and bobs, which grants her considerably more expressiveness than her previous incarnation
Saw a picture of @misterabk.bsky.social in a bathroom in NW1
Since she's made out of modular elements, we can have lots of different versions, including "Angry Cheffie", "Sad Cheffie", and طاهرة الطاهية (Tahirat Altaahia)
Sometimes you're just in a mood that requires drawing an anime chef
From this angle, the cockatiel looks like the wacky Neucom jets from Ace Combat 3
Back when production first started on Technobabylon, we had three different versions of a possible face for Latha
Back before the full game came out, another developer (Coda Frost) made a VR version of the first section of Technobabylon. I was fortunate to have access to an oculus rift at the time!
I've inherited my brother's Index VR kit. Any indie VR game recommendations?
Organizing and consolidating files, and sifting through the wreckage of various "Technobabylon 2" versions floating around my backup drives. Some of it makes me want to go back in time and slap past-James in the head, and others make me think "hey, that's not bad"
Reading through old Dan Dare comics, the moment that the original artist Frank Hampson leaves, everyone suddenly gets a lot more expressive.
At least it's (probably) not funded by the CIA, unlike the 1954 version.
Even rarer card, SWAT founder and Sierra games consultant Daryl Gates
Also features Cliff Richard singing a song about threatening his girlfriend
Option A: Fix the unwrap Option B: That's just her aesthetic, get with the styles old-timer
It was also one of (thus far) three appearances in Star Trek for Elias Toufexis. He's on track to becoming the next Jeffrey Combs
Right, off to play the 1976 board game of Starship Troopers, from back in the days before Verhoeven, and before sci-fi had adopted greebles.
