As an isometric shooter tragic, there's something very refreshing about this one. Slower pace compared to genre stablemates, focused, and very much like watching glossy miniatures battle atop scale dioramas. Hope the devs don't feel obliged to pad it out with much more! Hooked on the demo.

New Hermitude! Starting the week right.

Happy 30th birthday, Metal Slug. One of the absolute greats launched on this day in 1996.

Eric Scott Raymond's solar-powered glider hybrid soaring somewhere over Italy. Majestic utopian possibilities.

Interesting physics-heavy iso-mech-tric shooter potential in Iron Plunder, being developed by Ashley Wood and his sons (SPITZ CO Games). Demo up on Steam. Very early days, but a striking art style nonetheless. More info/demo: store.steampowered.com/app/4540020/...

Absolute banger set by the surviving Boom Boom Satellites members and their new iteration, The Spellbound, for the Ghost In The Shell Deep Dive program. Michiyuki Kawashima would be proud.

Need characters for this weekend fantasy #TTRPG session? I GOT YOU COVERED!

Remembering a better world.

On repeat. Even if Tomorrow's Harvest never hit like MHTRTC or Geogaddi, it's good to be on the cusp of new BoC.

Hello there.

Wans Zai has worked magic in delivering the Ridge Racer Collection for PC/Xbox 360. Arcade RR/RR2/Rave perfection with 16:9 aspect, wheel support and online. Can't speak to the 360, but on PC through Xenia? Incredible. Download in the video's description.

Sidereal Wanderer ST is out, and there's a demo, too! Pocket-sized character-driven throwback to starship captain simulators like Begin! and Star Trek (1981), and a beautiful update to 2024's original Sidereal Wanderer. Won't be for everyone, but will be for some!

The Zeon mobile suits are some of my favorite and I've always been a fan of the lewis gun so now Granvir finally has its own LMG. You can't see anything over the enormous drum but I think its part of the charm.

I wish I could recall the Japanese creator of this incredible scratch-built power suit from Genki's PS1 Kileak games, but sadly attribution is lost on the hellsite. In any case, luvverly. Now that Tokyo Xtreme Racer is out the door, Genki's dungmech subgenre must return.

RESIN PUNKS, the latest Zimmerit 'zine, is out and available now from garagekit.club and select brick and mortar shops. 40 pages of '80s garage kit culture including profiles, translated period material, and photos. Grab it here: garagekit.club/products/res...

Bedtime decompression; challenge being to create tiny low-poly starships with super simple textures. Inspirations naturally being Homeworld, Colony Wars, G-Police etc.

The Jeselnik Book Club rolls on. March saw to Vonnegut's 'Mother Night', and if there was a book that feels timely about scrutinizing the complicity of useful idiots, it is this one. Next up for April, Jenny Offill's 'Dept. Of Speculation'. Info/mailing list: anthonyjeselnik.com/the-jeselnik...

In the wake of the recently announced Patlabor: The Case Files game for PC/PS5, have a little video compilation of all mainline Patlabor titles (Super Robot Wars and Kyoei Toshi appearances not shown).

WipEout Pure hit the PSP 21 years ago, launching in North America on March 24, 2005. Still the future.

Vic Berger Presents Idea Man.

A few pages from Short Sword Vol. 2. The second collection of my fantasy/horror stories.

Unsurprising update: There Is No Antimemetics Division is very cool. Cheers to folks who recommended it. Also, the XTEINK X4 is perfect, particularly with Crosspoint firmware. Actual buttons. No touch screen. The future we must reclaim.

On that note, a bittersweet memory given The Black Dog's founding member Ken Downie passed away in December of last year. Raxmus forever.

QTP with a game that has a 10/10 soundtrack.

Luvverly.

The concept art for Wipeout 2048 by Darren Douglas is something else

@pushingshapes.bsky.social Some enterprising guy did a full breakdown of Screamer's echo system. Mouth-watering stuff.

In a bid to de-stoltify the brain in this age of mental rot, measures have been taken. First cab off the rank is 'There Is No Antimemetics Division' by qntm, which I hear is quite good.

Had the pleasure of seeing Incat's Hull 096 'China Zorilla' undertaking her first sea trials in January. This is the world's largest electrically-powered vehicle, with a 2100 passenger capacity and capable of carrying over 220 cars. It is set for delivery to South America later in the year.

Great channel, where some enterprising fellow kitbashes Crimson Skies-esque aircraft atop micro-quad copter drones and races them around the backyard.

Crunchy business.

Helping to cook up some crunchy starships with @uselrei1500.bsky.social is A Good Time.

I like drawing mecha, so if you have a favorite from a ttrpg, anime, game, or one of your own design, hit me up for a sketch or fully rendered piece of it here: vgen.co/EricLVargas link also on the linktree in my profile! #ericlvargas #mecha #mechadesign #giantrobots #vgen #commissionsopen

I’ll never get tired of patlabor 2 and its little calm scenes in the film

Appreciation post for the French Tara Polar Station (@fondationtaraocean.bsky.social), a drifting scientific base designed for long-term Artic missions to study biodiversity and the effects of climate change. More info: fondationtaraocean.org/en/schooner/...

Make Our Own Heaven is a biopunk angel RPG about helping your community the only way you know how. Resist the corps, fight the cops, and solve problems for your community, all while trying to make ends meet on the streets of Jupiter's largest city. raycox.itch.io/make-our-own...

Added a few details, some panel lines and primed again. Getting close to the end!

Nice to see a new Blind Dweller video.

Even down in the Kagoshima boonies, it's very disheartening to see things like festival posters and other relatively minor graphic design opportunities be infected by this plague technology. Wearying.

Demo launch going too smoothly! Time to open up to a larger audience. Any fans of #MechWarrior2, #Battletech, or #MegaMek looking for a new game to try? pillbuggames.itch.io/drop-command

In case of emergency, MegaCD starfighter game covers.
