Not quite what you're looking for - more SMAC than Civ - but you might get a kick out of the late-eighties Rockwell Integrated Space Plan. cdn.makezine.com/uploads/2013...

so true beastie

I only post on the internet bc all the gay bars banned me for, you guessed it; going up to all the twinks and pouring rubber cement in their cum gutters.

when the Walls appeared and the war halted, resources of the now-redundant ICBM program were diverted back to the air force: supersonic bombers, nuclear-powered cruise missiles - their warheads replaced with landers, hulls inlaid with high-gain antennas, and sent screaming into the bottomless blue

Gosh, we were going to film a drone brainwashing video tomorrow that I've scripted and I was really excited to work on, but it's still just going to be too hot to make it We still will though, just have to delay it for now! At this point an aircon unit appears to be a vital work purchase

To think, there once was a time when I was excited about computers.

Every once in a while I'm like "oh this would be a sick as hell setting/aesthetic for a game" but not have any actual ideas for gameplay or story

Over the past few months I've been wanting to make some game with a gritty fucked up industrial vibe with harsh lighting but .. i dont have an actual game idea for it...

I made a CGA card in Verilog. Here it is running on a Cyclone V FPGA. #retrocomputing

Note on the microlensing part: while the lensing object "Phoebe" being a free-floating planet in either MW or LMC is not ruled out, the paper argued that it is much more likely to be associated with the Milky Way's dark matter halo, where planets are expected to be rare, hence it prefers PBH model.

On today's arXiv: predictions of ludicrous scale planet formation around active galactic nuclei (arxiv.org/abs/2605.19241) and a weird microlensing event that might be caused by 3 lunar masses primordial black hole residing in the Milky Way's dark matter halo (arxiv.org/abs/2605.19375).

Invasive neuro-shunts that slide into the back of your mech pilot's neck are the same as anal beads if you do it right.

what it feels like to be an nsfw artist sometimes

yeah, as much as I'm down for 'and then I made people into my sex toys' being hot, it is the dumbest shit. You can make people do anything, change someone however you want ... and you just make them objects that do what you say and abduct them? Evil, wasteful, and unimaginative!

My memory of what it was like to browse the Xbox Live Indie Games store page in 2010

i always thought "i don't use references when i draw, that's cheating" was just a guy someone made up but then i tried pulling up some pose dummies in blender and flying the camera around to find the best angle and i realized the guy was me. i was the guy. i thought Guessing How It Look was a virtue

star fox 64 has maybe the most memorable voice direction of any game this side of sinistar and it’s because everyone is just hamming it the fuck up like they were born without the fruit of knowledge. i can smell the shame in the room with these voice actors i can SMELL the SHAME

“what so an evil space monkey man can’t be british” silence worm!!! you know exactly what sort of reheated gas station burrito-tier creative direction results in decisions like this. it’s the same shit that made zelda pretend to know how to do a british accent for 2 games in a row bc elfs is british
