To celebrate Andor's third anniversary, my nerdy long article on spaceships is open to everyone. With everything I've learned since then, I should take the time to update it. 🤫

The Dark Genome from Space. Probably the title of a sci-fi movie from the 1950s, in a parallel universe.

Command Deck, a sci-fi roguelike deckbuilder inspired by Slay the Spire, FTL, and 70's sci-fi novel covers (Berkey, Di Fate, Vallejo), will be released in 2 days in Early Access!

Star Wars Visions started 4 years ago today. The third volume will be released on October 29, 2025.

Lost started 21 years ago today 👴 But one of my favorite characters, Desmond, wasn't introduced until a year later (an appearance that was originally supposed to last only two or three episodes).

Wing Commander Academy started 29 years ago today on USA Network. The cartoon (13 episodes) recounted the dramatic adventures of a group of space cadets on the Terran carrier Tiger's Claw in total war against a hostile, alien, lion-looking warrior race, the Kilrathi.

Andor started 3 years ago today 😍 I realize how lucky I was to get a Star Wars story that touched my heart decades after falling in love with SW.

On the FOUR main French news channels, there's currently a live broadcast of you-know-who's funeral - including on the public service. 🤯 Not many people here knew the guy 10 days ago. It's crazy.

Disney warned Disney 🤷

It means that the original Star Wars trilogy first arrived on DVD 21 years ago today! It was the 1997 Special Edition, but with additional changes, Lucas being Lucas. 😏

Forget Rogue Squadron, I want

Wing Commander Academy started 29 years ago today on USA Network. The cartoon (13 episodes) recounted the dramatic adventures of a group of space cadets on the Terran carrier Tiger's Claw in total war against a hostile, alien, lion-looking warrior race, the Kilrathi.

Time for a remake of TIE Fighter (Totally Games/LucasArts, 1994) then. 😁

Andor started 3 years ago today 😍 I realize how lucky I was to get a Star Wars story that touched my heart decades after falling in love with SW.

The Hollywood Reporter just published a nice oral history of Ron Howard's Apollo 13 (1995) by @aaroncouch.bsky.social I recommend that all fans of this film read this article, but in the meantime, here are some good quotes. 🖖 1/18

Glen A. Larson and Leslie Stevens' Buck Rogers in the 25th Century started 46 years ago today on NBC! "20th century astronaut Buck Rogers emerges out of 500 years of suspended animation into the 25th century to become Earth's greatest hero and to explore deep space."

"We spent six years thinking about a fascist takeover of a galaxy far, far away. Six years thinking about ordinary beings as an authoritarian regime comes in for the kill. Many people saw parallels between Andor and the real world. I see them as well, particularly in the events of the last week."

🎵Take my love, take my land, Take me where I cannot stand. I don't care, I'm still free, You can't take the sky from me.🎵 Firefly started 23 years ago today on Fox.

Gungan Air Force 😎

I still find the difference between the concrete effects of climate change and its media coverage quite crazy. There are so many issues that have a much smaller impact on our societies but receive so much more coverage.

Jodorowsky's Dune (canceled circa 1975): Harkonnen transporter, art by Chris Foss

Elite was released (circa) 41 years ago today! This space trading open world game is considered to be the forerunner of many modern games, as well as being an important milestone in the history of space sci-fi.

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) James Gunn (on Threads): “I was told no one would like the Guardians soundtrack and I should change it to Britney Spears like 90’s songs. I don’t know if it’s the worst [note give by an executive] but it’s the one I remember the most!”

"Essentially, Krafton said that documents relating to the readiness of the game were irrelevant to the termination—which is what this phase of discovery is focused on—despite this being the reason cited in the termination notices, which was also repeated publicly and in court." 🤔

I absolutely reject a world where the dead remain among us in the form of AI clones that could multiply across all connected media. Not only do I find it indecent, but what about mourning? It's so important to be able to grieve. We've all been there. This is pure sci-fi dystopia. 👎

Someone very kind just offered me The Art of SW Outlaws (thanks Kaiju 🥰), which is perfect timing because times are tough for all freelancers right now🫣 To celebrate, I'm going to work on a second article looking back at the game's creation, and the first one is now available for everyone to read!

"We spent six years thinking about a fascist takeover of a galaxy far, far away. Six years thinking about ordinary beings as an authoritarian regime comes in for the kill. Many people saw parallels between Andor and the real world. I see them as well, particularly in the events of the last week."

I need it.

In case you don't know a fourth Riddick live-action movie is currently in post-production 🫡

Nothing is more beautiful than love despite differences.

Jump Space is now in Early Access!

Even though I know what fascism's motives are, their perpetual hypocrisy is completely incompatible with my neurodivergence and it drives me crazy. Even though I know how it works! 🤣 They're like badly behaved children, but in adult bodies controlling countries... Oh wait, we're in Alien Earth?

It's evil, and besides, if I were still active on X, I would pay a lot of money for everyone to see this photo of the escape port model from Spaceballs (1987).

Available!
