New FKA twigs LP. 🔥

Artist/aeronautical enthusiast Kazuhiko Hachiya's recent test flight of M-02J, his homage to Nausicaä's Möwe jet glider. Incredible stuff!

'... a way to “to support members in proactively designing their growth direction and embarking on new challenges both inside and outside the company amid the era of AI transformation.”' Jump in the lake, or what remains of it.

We need jungle, I'm afraid.

Donny Benét, doing what a smooth bass operator does best. (Which is, unveiling a new track from his upcoming LP 'Il Basso')

Belgian techno-queen Charlotte de Witte has deployed her debut LP, and it is, unsurprisingly, a banger. Even features Lisa Gerrard! Perfect for drifting sideways, taking on giant robots or finishing those chores. ★★★★

'The Nimrodian Club' story in particular, from Stewart Cowley and Charles Herridge's 'Great Space Battles'. Not only accompanied by a Peter Elson banger, but therein remains hope that the Musks and Thiels of this world tire of haunting us in favour of hunting each other for existential meaning.

And no, not *that* sort of AI. The normal AI. The good one. (Hat tip to @qsy.bsky.social for the reminder)

Jordy Lakiere of Aegic Entertainment has previewed the AI overhaul for We Who Are About To Die. Absolutely adore this arena roguelike, so bring it on. Perfect companion to a new season of Spartacus. More info: store.steampowered.com/news/app/973...

Constellations of Grief #watercolor #illustration how long have you waited here for someone to touch you for someone to hear you scream? it’s ok to be afraid i’m here with you youtu.be/qmMI6fEpxns

The gentle zen of Janus Cycle.

Autechre's classic Tri Repetae just turned 30. A classic.

It's that time of year.

South Scrimshaw: Nathan O. Marsh on Nature Docs, Solo Dev, and The Grand Budapest Hotel Indie dev and artist Nathan O. Marsh has built one of the most distinctive new worlds in indie gaming almost entirely alone. South Scrimshaw, a hand-painted, free-to-play visual novel about alien whales and…

Ohh. This and store.steampowered.com/app/3367600/... will make fine additions to my collection

Just as a cautionary tale, be sure to double-check Steam pages at launch. Turns out the AI shenanigans were added after the initial listing, if the Wayback machine's snapshots are anything to go by. web.archive.org/web/20250614... Again, apologies. A clanker-lover's ethical bona-fides tested. 🙇

Woke up to a torrent of rightfully indignant comments, but I should have done my due diligence and caught this. Go buy Granvir (store.steampowered.com/app/2743460/...), PUNIHI LOADER 2 (store.steampowered.com/app/1956960/...) or wishlist Drop Command instead (store.steampowered.com/app/1944880/...).

Outside the Blocks has launched on Steam (currently -15% off) - new one for the Tiny Glade/Townscaper fans. More info: store.steampowered.com/app/2350220/...

One Banger After Another: New BallisticNG track coming gratis with the inbound 1.4.1 update. neognosis.games (Win/Mac/Linux/Steam/GoG/DRM-free)

Not long now.

To celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of Ken Ishii's 'Extra', R&S Records have deployed a remix collection. Bandcamp: randsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/extra-...

Nice to see the ACCC taking on Microsoft for trying to grift Office 365 subscribers into a price hike to offset the unwanted inclusion of Copilot, and also willfully obscuring pricing and cancellation options in general. Sound familiar, Adobe users?

New urban transportation project from BOBBY TECHNOLOGY (Chaotic Era) kicks off with a very stylish video.

The breathtaking disconnect of NPR Music hosting the incredible Oklou while taking sponsorship dosh from an AI music platform. The Bozopocene rolls on.

Still resonates. The complete package.

www.patreon.com/c/brennanpm I've decided to reboot this patreon page so you can follow along, support the artist and get more in-depth insights into my creation process. Ill be using this as a kind of development blog to share progress as I work on spaceships and scifi vehicles.

New front-end visual design for Honcho. Still much work to be done with the kei truck auctions and generally cleaning up Keiko's look, but progress is being made. 🙇

'Originally self-released under the artist name 'Stereotype' in 1994, an hour of raw, dancefloor-focused early Squarepusher productions, fuelled by pirate radio and rave, remastered from the original tapes.'

As an aside, did have the privilege of seeing both the US-2's predecessor (Shin Meiwa US-1A) and the last of its kind, the mighty Kawanishi H8K 'Emily'. The Kawanishi Aircraft Company rebranded as Shin Meiwa Industries in 1945, then as ShinMaywa in 1992.

ShinMaywa US-2 appreciation post.

Krafton says it is now a "garbage" company

Powerful collaboration.

Too many bangers to keep to a single effort.

New Frogmen zine Shadow Barricade is available now! Written and designed by @samtempest.bsky.social, edited by @airymouse.com. Digital version available on itch - tempestrpg.itch.io/red-zero-sha... Physical editions available on the Grave Goods website - www.gravegoodspub.co.uk/product-page...

The loudest applause went to Chris Applehans (K-Pop Demon Hunters) who described the human labor gAI models have trained on as “one of the greatest acts of shoplifting you’ll ever see in human history. And it doesn’t belong to these companies; they’re so excited for us to move past that.”

Update on the Diesel Knights project.

SPINE has been released on itch! You can download your PDF or a printable booklet today to start playing! I'm keeping it FREE through the end of October. backwards-tabletop.itch.io/spine

I'm actually looking for work this time around for #portfolioday - concept art, storyboards, character design& splash illustration!

Excuse the quick and dirty scans, but if you can get your hands on the magazine, you'll be treated not only to Plum's 1/32 Shira-DOW kit dolled up to the nines, but scratch-built Republic aircraft and more. The 1/700 scale scratch-built Prince of Minadan carrier is especially sumptuous.

Happy to report the newest edition of Scale Aviation is dedicated to Wings of Honnêamise. All the banger models; props, jets, aircraft carriers, rockets etc. Naturally, no wheeled fighting vehicles, but more than enough for Royal Space Force freaks. More info: store.modelkasten.com/smartphone/d...

Stewart Lee when confronted by a podcaster brandishing ChatGPT-generated questions.

Great interview with a true virtuosa.

Oklou x twigs. A good day.

Does the Pirates Constructible Strategy Game count? Absolute banger. Cheap, ready in seconds, highly enjoyable. Sadly sank with Wizkids. Would love to see the concept of styrene minis delivered in trading card format return. Maybe it has? Everything else was an exercise in collecting ornaments.
