On a lighter note I finished Operation Hail Mary by Andy Weir (I don't read as much as I used too, but I am trying to read more..) Did I like? Yes Lots of problem solving, interesting, situations and characters. And SPACESHIPS. Wondering how the movie will be...

Which idiot treated themself to a newer XboxX? Bought one (birthday treat and all that) And did not realise it had no disc drive? Yep me. Wondered why it was cheaper. Absolute melon. I need a drive as I still believe in physical media Microshaft, you absolute shits. So ordered another w/drive

I always thought the original ideas for Warhammer Rogue Trader was quite interesting. Bit of a Laserburn/Combat 3000 vibe too.

Some birthday swag

My latest youtube addiction is a series of vids on video games that failed badly. Such as The Day Before, Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues and others. Like watching car crashes in slow motion.

Dominus platypus

The mind-blowing, psychedelic, nightmarish LONE SLOANE (1972), by French comic book legend Philippe Druillet. Every image is like a prog metal album cover. My dad bought me the 1970s Dragon's Dream reprint collection from WH Smith(!) when I was 10. It opened my third eye.

Buggeration, Out next year instead of this year.

Newish place to try The Tide and Tap. Morecambe prom near Bare

Theatre night

Just saying....

Morning

Bit of a Robocop minithon. From 1 to 3 it's a downward slide. 1 is great, 2 OK and 3 pants. I don't remember watching 3... back in the day. 3 doesn't even have Weller, his side kick is pointlessly killed and Rip Torn is the OCP CEO...

It’s rather nice Yippy Kay yay @effektpodcast.org And a pound went to the dogs trust on the sale.

Mail call!

Final few hours.. bundleofholding.com/presents/202...

Liking how ALIEN: Evolved tweaks stress. Breaks up stress into Stress, Panic and Mental Trauma You can get stress, but doesn't lead directly into Panic and Trauma. Panic, occurs under certain circumstances, though stress is factored. Trauma is post game and only if you roll panic over 9 on a table

That time drew up the plans for most of a wild west town... Been looking at Tales of the Old West. Like the look of that and it's Year Zero too.

More books are underway: a spaceship book (with art by Ian Stead), a second volume of the bestiary, and an adventure. There are ideas for other books too, but this is all on top of holding down a day job! #Traveller #ttrpg @drivethrurpg.com @biomassart.bsky.social

14 year old model with clean vector based plans... Now to update the model..

Phew close call, better stay away from the shrimps...

We now have 3 Dumbo Rats, Pickle, Burrito and Waffle.

Oh have to add that to the listening list...

Hey @morrus.bsky.social over at @enpublishingrpg.bsky.social - wondering if you'd consider giving youtube.com/@budsrpgrevi... a shout out on this week's newscast? He has been taken from the ttrpg community all too early aged 52 and his children would love his channel to get to 10k subs as a memorial

#SST25 Day One Launch. (did this awhile ago but just did a little extra and new work on it..) Dragon Class SDBs launching under fire.

I thought about doing a #Spaceshiptember2025 here on Bluesky. Draw, write, build, model, animate, whatever you want, just no fucking AI. No strings attached, just have fun, do all, do some, do none. Add #SST25, I'll try to repost as many as I can, as I see them. Join and have fun!

@cartoonbeardy.bsky.social Question: Mass Effect 1 or Legendary Edition ? (Both on Game Pass) I've installed Original - wondering is it worth doing the Legendary one, instead ? Tah mucho

Re-visiting old work. @nyrath.bsky.social designed the ship originally.

Oh Corvettes in No Mans Sky..

One of my favourite ALIEN things I collected. There was a bubblegum in there.. it sort of turned into plastic, developed sentience and escaped into the sewer..

It’s back! bundleofholding.com/presents/202...

Bit more on the sluggish system/monitor issue. Tried another monitor same make, it's fine. So software as another machine attached to it is ok..
