Post a secular image you think of as holy

A captured MX-90 Daboku is seen here maneuvering through the highlands of Radstadt some time in the mid-3030’s, in pursuit of Ronin forces under the command of Alexander Kurita.

Clantech making the loadout of paired LRM20’s, backed up by Streak SRM4’s and paired ER large lasers perfectly viable. During this playthrough, I don’t think I have a heavy slower than the tabletop equivalent of 5/8.

Mechwarrior 5, especially since Shadow of Kerensky came out, has been my go-to stress reliever, and am I ever happy that my machine can do ultra-high graphics!

My personal favourite Inner Sphere-produced omnimech, and while I think there’s some MW3 nostalgia at play, it looks better than the Vulture/Mad Dog/Hagetaka

How I have the sudden MIGHTY NEED to fancast Hailee Steinfeld as Aletha Kabrinski

I’m teaching a class about STAR TREK! Next month I’ll explore how Trek reflects America’s “progressive” ideals in each era and how that both expands and limits how we imagine the future. It’s part of Goddard Spark, a program born from Goddard College’s 1940s anti-fascist roots. Learn more below!

What, was “strength through joy” already taken?

The article was published a month before the launch of the Enterprise-D. In traditional POPULAR MECHANICS fashion, some details are omitted or altered for brevity or national security. ;)

What movie do you consider “perfect”?

Continuing the thought from earlier about Shadow of Kerensky, having access to omnimechs early on (play it straight the first time, then have fun on the second playthrough) really alters the dynamics of early missions. They feel less like pitched battles as they do executions. 1/2

Where am I at mentally? Apparently the planet Deloyer.

Taking a break from the wretched hellscape that is world news by pretending to be a mech-driving mercenary of the 31st century… If you haven’t played Mechwarrior 5’s newest DLC, what are you waiting for? Consider this your invitation in writing. Do it. Right now.

USS Enterprise, STAR TREK BEYOND (2016)

A fine example of this is the Black & Decker group, which has grown to include Black & Decker, Porter Cable, DeWalt, Stanley, Stanley Bostitch, Delta, (including the assets of Beaver and Rockwell), Mac Tools, Irwin, and Craftsman, amongst others.

Reading this on loop today.

this is hands down the best warp effect ever made and its a CRIMINAL shame that we will likely never see it used again.

Without saying Voltron, what is your favorite giant robot?

Someone explain to me why I should shed a single tear for someone who wanted my own family dead, please. I won’t mourn the death of Horst Wessel 2.0.

Hell yeah Tim Russ! Standing for Treks values ❤️❤️ makes me even more excited to hear him in the next Star Trek Khan episode.

A polite bigot is a bigot nonetheless. A true warrior knows that courteous words do not dilute the poison, but only serve to conceal it until it has spread. Civility in the service of hate deserves no polite response.

Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.

Fuck these assholes and their whole warrior ethos bullshit. The US Army is going to be in for a rude shock on the modern battlefield if they really think this lone warrior schtick is going to work.

#StarTrekSNW's "Four-and-a-Half Vulcans" features this nice "Transmission Terminated" screen (when Chapel ends the call with Dr. Korby). I'm sure this might come in handy eventually, so here it is for you guys. 😉

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

Following the recommencement of Starfleet’s 5-year exploration missions with the launch of the Yorktown-class USS Opportunity, the Admiralty has chosen to commission a new production tranche of Protostar-class vessels to… 1/2

When I was a kid I played sooo much Battletech. Painted mechs. Created character bios. Wrote up record sheets. When I started working as an actor, I made it my mission to get a role in any and every Mechwarrior/Battletech project out there. This is my third. No guts, no galaxy.

Drop something armoured? Ok.

- The Rock (great James Bond movie) - Mary Poppins (favourite movie as a kid, still love it) - The Hunt for Red October (great book, great movie)

Sarna’s @seanmurray683.bsky.social was so amazing to allow me to share my historical account of Mechwarrior 2 to celebrate its 30th year anniversary. Go give it a read if you want insigt on how one of the best mech sims got made and its enduring legacy www.sarna.net/news/mechwar...

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only

It’s been a while since I posted any miniature work, so here, have a Star League-era classic. As a treat.

*gesticulates emphatically at oneself* Yes.

For those of you unfamiliar with the term, allow me to introduce you to the concept of a kakistocracy; a government run by the least qualified. So many resources, she says..

Kahless tells us that no one is without value, and no warrior should be called "unskilled." Hard work is a skill. Perseverance is a skill. Solidarity is a skill. A true warrior knows that all who live honorably are worthy, all have value, all are due respect.

And I’m loving every single minute of it.

Looting. What they want to do is looting, pure and simple. They want prestige without having to work for it. Damn them both.

BREAKING Missing since 2329, an expedition lead by Dr. Miranda Nargeolet finds USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-B) adrift but intact in the Gamma quadrant, putting an end to decades of speculation as to the vessel's fate. More to follow.

I watch Star Trek for the plot.

I got an incredible gift from @alblackwell.bsky.social this morning while I was recording the #Battlemaster video. This #BloodAsp artwork is going to be front and centre for the #MagistracyofCanopus video I'm doing later this year, and I think its perfect. :D #Battletech #Mechwarrior

“This is the Valkyrie, not a singles bar!” I’m always happy to see Titan AE get some love.

Positioning the Warden as a 6th generation successor to the Duderstadt is a pretty cool idea to me.

I’ve asked this before, and I’ll ask it again here; was “never again” just a catchy phrase? Did it really mean “never again unless we’re the ones perpetrating it”? I’m just so… numb… that it’s all I can ask.

just me manifesting TOS Nebula
