If it happens while I'm under anesthesia, I want the surgeons to wake me up.

We're eatin' good this year!

Found out my mom donated all my childhood Transformers. We had a good chunk of the OG Beast Wars line, too. She didn't think we wanted them. We did, we just didn't have the room to take them. Real disappointing all 'round.

I'm not doing this to be argumentative or preachy or to start any kind of shit, but just to be clear that, as a *decades*-long fan of BT and MegaMek user, this is the kinda thing that will make me drop a program like a hot potato.

#BattleTech fans, it's come to my attention that MegaMek has started using AI-generated code and art in multiple ways in their latest builds. If you're like me and have both ethical and legal concerns about this, please sign my petition at openpetition.org/!dyzqb

Today in BattleTech, einherjarvalk goes through the metal range of BattleTech 'Mech options and looks at some of the highlights.

*tap tap* *parrot voice* metal

Having listened to the full album, most of the songs are like… pretty good, but the cover of Anime ja Nai goes weirdly hard for some reason?? Like feels meant for a rhythm game youtu.be/lFEd7CSrFW8?...

I'M SORRY WHAT?

Really wish @mechpaintersunion.bsky.social's socials were more active, because I keep writing articles for them and then nobody notices. Anyway, today I talk about scale as applied to #BattleTech miniatures.

Ace Combat 2: The game that's still on your mind even in the office, especially when you've got model planes to hand!. What a cute ad, just now pulled from a 1997 EDGE CD-ROM's 'Big in Japan' section. #VideoBytes

Good ol' Matt Moylan, one of the biggest assclowns in the entire Transformers Fandom.

make sure to skip ZX btw as it's still written by a clown

No troll here. This is absolutely correct.

my spicy take is that the media you like to engage with doesn't necessarily say anything deeper or hidden about your relationship to gender or sexuality but the media you *do not* does a little bit

Looks like "Dude, you're gettin' a Dell" is back on the menu, boys!

Heads up, fellow LA fans! MediaOCD will be having our FIRST BOOTH EVER at @animelosangeles.bsky.social this weekend, along with a panel where we will announce something exciting! Come see us, make it all worth it please, this is a lot

Has anyone ever come across the original key art used for Ace Combat/Air Combat's box art? I'm working on a little project and it would be nice to have clean art.

Does anyone wanna pay me to edit your podcast?

Seeing this following today's Game Mess Mornings... We're well and truly cooked, aren't we? @grubb.wtf @lexluddy.xyz

Outreach is a community effort by the Star League Discord group, the premier LGBTQIA+ BattleTech discord server. For the community, by the community. We're looking for short stories, art, in-universe articles & 'Mech record sheets And if you'd like to know more, come join us in the Star League! 🏳️‍🌈⭐

I'm always so proud when I see the amazing work coming out of this community! I can't wait to check out the final result! Seeing your proverbial kid grow up through the time-dilated lens of cyberspace is a bit of a weird feeling tho.

As we step foot into an uncertain new year we're announcing the newest BattleTech community initiative organized by the Star League discord server: a brand new fan anthology of short fiction & art by the community, for the community - OUTREACH!

How about we kick-off the new year with a brand-new episode of Game Arcadia from @thejenna.bsky.social! Taking a look back at some of the crazy marketing that was done for Shadow of the Colossus.

CRT screenies of an unreleased Battletech game for Mega/Sega-CD that I just had a tinker around with: Gray Death Legion. Due to be released in 1995 and developed by Absolute Entertainment, this would have been a first-person arcade sim similar to the Super Nintendo BT/Mechwarrior game.

Today at 7e/6c/5m/4p on twitch.tv/bbwolfe, it’s time to get brave with this MG Wing Gundam!

hi! I’m Diana and I’m a cosplayer and wig stylist from the Seattle area! I love old school anime (particularly Gundam) and am an old school JoJo super fan, love the entire concept of animation, read way too much, have two very spoiled cats, and have an ADHD fueled amount of hobbies. I post too much.

So with some awesome stuff coming out next year, I am happy to announce my first Wargame! Aces of the Skies! Based on a more arcade simulation of modern jet combat, take to the skies in an easy to learn, hard to master wargame! Take your squadrons and rise higgh into the skies! #ttrpg #original

So, I ran the numbers, and if we can sell another 30-ish copies, we'll be profitable. I fully expected to be selling this first volume at a loss, and I'm floored that we're actually doing this 😭💖 Thank you.

Update: Momo may need to stay not just one night, but possibly two, despite me being told that he will just need approval for one more night. I was not able to talk to the specialist about this one. This has officially cost me a total of over $11,000 and I am now officially stretched. Please help! 😭

Anyone got any Steam sale recommendations?

That's a @tolkoto.com -ass Santa Claus right there.

There is no AI used in Blue Prince. The game was built and crafted with full human instinct by Tonda Ros and his team at @dogubomb.bsky.social. It is the result of eight years of development, fuelled by imagination and creativity, and we are extremely proud of what Tonda has achieved.

Everyone deserves to spend the holidays surrounded by people who love and appreciate them. Except for the guy who invented the webp.

NEW from me on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: I wasn’t going to write about the Larian AI backlash. Then I woke up at 5:30 this morning with a whole dang blog in my head. How can you know if your workers are “okay” with using genAI tools if you have so much power over them should they push back?

Oh, Ace Combat? Yeah, I know it. It's going to take a while, it happened years ago. Did you know there are three types of video games?
