And for Traveller's 49th Anniversary (July 22nd)...:

A picture of a plaque showing a blazon and reading "Mongoose Publishing: Publishers and Miniature Games" set against a red brick wall; this is the outside of Mongoose Publishing's office.

CAN YOU FEEL IT? ARE YOU FEELING THE MAGIC???

Oh, to once again be in these hallowed halls . . .

Welp That's the end of my Data plan, I guess

You're still as beautiful as on the first day I saw you...

Gotta love the Science Museum. Two icons side-by-side.

Best STAR TREK captain. Wrong answers only.

Não assisti Psycho-Pass, mas me lembrei desse meme clássico que eu acho que se aplica bem:

An edited version of a still from Pirates of the Caribbean, showing Captain Barbossa wearing gaudy, glowing cyberpunk clothes, against a backdrop of a typical cyberpunk megacity.
The image's caption reads "You best start believing in cyberpunk dystopias, you're in one"

Babbage's Difference Engine No.2 set to John Powell's "Robots Overture," because it had to be done.

You've reminded me of this all-time cosplay classic: (Alas, I do not know who this comedic genius is)

Gabriel GAB Fonseca@gabrielgabfonseca· Jun 23

Another good one:

Gabriel GAB Fonseca@gabrielgabfonseca· Jun 23

Inordinately proud of this

No one: No one at all whatsoever: The original release of Mass Effect 2:

A screenshot close-up of Miranda's butt, from Mass Effect 2; around it is a white frame, like a picture-in-picture shot, and above it in white text against a red background are the words "LIVE BUTT REACTION", all capitals.
The camera is like, right up to her butt for no reason. It's a conversation between her and Shepard. There really is no reason for this camera to be pointing at where it is other than, well, y'know.
For added hilarity, the game's dialogue wheel is visible on the bottom (heh) right corner with the option "Investigate" overlaid on the aforementioned butt.

It might be a geolocking issue then; confirmed inaccedsible in Brazil and Germany, possibly others too.

Gabriel GAB Fonseca@gabrielgabfonseca· May 15

Well, the answer is obvious! Drone, Worker, Leader, Technician, Warrior, and Sport, of course!

An illustration of a small humanoid creature, seen from above and looking up at the night sky reflected in its eyes, standing in a grassy field.
The hamanoid is Gargoyle-like, with two arms and legs, a gecko-like tail, and a pair of bat-like wings sprouting from its back. Its skin is gray, and its face slightly reptilian; its big eyes, somewhat similar to those of the 'Grey' aliens of popular culture, are entirely black and reflect the world around them - in this case, the starry night sky. The creature looks inquisitive or marvelled at the wonders of the universe.

The creature is a Droyne, from the Charted Space setting of the Traveller tabletop role-playing game. The illustration can be found on the book 'Aliens of Charted Space: Volume 2' by Mongoose Publishing, on page 159.

Boy oh boy! I cannot wait to watch the next-to-last episode of Biblaridion's excellent 'Alien Biospheres' series and see what awaits these creatures I adore and have been watching for the last 7 hours 25 minutes 27 seconds of my life! :D

Two frames, arranged vertically. The first frame shows a man smiling happily while looking at some off-frame, presumably a screen.
The second frame shows the same man a moment after, his smile gone and an ambiguous facial expression which seem to mix in equal parts confusion, astonishment, disappointment, a sense of betrayal, and sadness.

She's as beautiful as on the first day I saw her.

A screen capture of the director's cut of Star Trek: The Motion Picture; Admiral Kirk looks through his travel pod's window, with an expression that can only be described as a look of pure, genuine love. Superimposed over his face, reflected in the window glass, is the image of Enterprise on its drydock slip.

Watching one (1) episode of a guy building a bridge and maintaining infrastructure after previous episodes emphasising the importance of safe road networks and passage for people and goods for the general well-being and welfare of a region's population:

The same four men from the previous post's picture, all looking at the screen in incredible excitement (mouths agape, pointing, fists in the air, etc.)

Gabriel GAB Fonseca@gabrielgabfonseca· Mar 30

Watching 12 episodes of Frieren and Fern taking the First Class Mage Exam:

Five men sat down and looking largely disinterested towards, presumably, a movie screen which is out of the image's frame.

The Villeneuve 'Dune' poster, featuring Paul and Chani standing in front of a setting sun, but instead of reading "DUNE" with the subtitles "Part One", if features "DUNC" and the subtitles "And Egg"
