The amazing pizza we get from a sketchy warehouse behind the Metro station is becoming a real restaurant. :-(

I need to track down one of these little Garfield figures from 1991 because it is very much the mood in 2026

While grabbing a WC4 screenshot for a friendly shitpost I noticed something I'd never picked up on before: the veteran at the bar in the intro is wearing a Wing Commander III patch (on his left shoulder)!

Join us for The Birdcage tonight! The connection is pretty fun: they shot it next door to Wing Commander IV. Robin Williams, a self professed wingnut, came over to watch the game being filmed (along with Arnold Schwarzenegger who was shooting the T2 ride film!).

Dry food spilled outside the bowl: THIS IS INCREDIBLE WE MUST GO INSANE SUCKING UP ERRANT BITS!!! The same dry food successfully deposited: meh

Eeesh. Alright, an untold tale. Maybe folks remember back when GOG released the first games in their EA deal and there was an uproar about how they didn’t include the add-ons and mission disks. I had been working with them to develop the extras and I asked the producer what was going on…

Rapier makes sense but I can’t help but see the Cobra SR-71 here.

My grandfather was a Unitarian! He was an engineer in the Navy and helped develop the submarine-launched Polaris missiles whose descendants these dorks will someday use to destroy the world.

Super fun day here! We went to swim at my parent’s house and then Ali grilled this entirely delicious Hawaiian chicken for dinner. And then my dad set up his projector and we watched Close Encounters in the woods!

thinking for no particular reason about how whenever i beat Wing Commander 2 The Secret Missions for SNES, i always did so on the Rookie (easy) difficulty. This changes the ending of the game in a revealing way

My Spanish is a little rusty but I’m pretty sure this ad is promising free vaginas for adultos, which is exactly what Republicans are so worried about.

While not a bad game... what a cast.

The Lincoln Memorial does still exist in 2673! But the Smithsonian seems to have been entirely replaced by skyscrapers.

Where were you when they built the search engine to heaven?

Oof! But a good time to remind everyone that the surplus landing gear seen in Wing Commander IV still has not been identified…

In Japan they have a pill that lets your Ocampans live twice as long. It’s all about preserving their kidneys.

I can’t fault him for this one, I make these all the time.

I might actually have bid for this if it were on UK eBay! "ncc1710" and all.

PIZZA CAT HAS BEEN PROMOTED! 😸🍕 From the Facebook page People Of The Deid: "On Brig. Gen. Clayton's last day as the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing commander, he promoted Pizza Cat to the prestigious rank of Senior Meowster Sergeant... #Flashes

Crazy that the movie made any sense at all without showing that Spock was born.

Adding a single player option for Dune Awakening is the smartest decision any game developer has ever made.

How big is Sully? Too big for his chair and my phone thinks he’s a German Pinscher.

The rare completely justified use of police violence.

Thre are so many games out there that were huge at the time of release, made a tremendous impact and then just fade from the conversation and which rarely seem to get mentioned. I played so much Wing Commander (I and II).

Baen has rejoined the culture war… on the side of culture?!

Apropos of nothing, the judge that enabled Admiral Tolwyn killer herself when the plot was revealed.

In all fairness, ‘it would attract too many Stargate fans’ is a valid reason to cancel anything. (No I’m kidding this sucks, you suck Amazon.)

It doesn’t matter who you love. It doesn’t matter who you fuck. It matters if you have my six when I can’t shake a Jalthi on my tail

The 1995 card game says… it’s canon!

My dear fellow aging dorks: I invite anyone to be as gay they want in the Wing Commander fandom.

What is this, Reggie?

Origin’s “talkie” CD-ROMs of Strike Commander and Privateer seemed like a big enough change to prompt teen Ben to double dip. Sadly, later attempts—including Wing Commander II and Pacific Strike—died on the vine.

That’s a screenshot from Wing Commander II, you stupid robot.

Please help crowdfund my meditations on Apple’s new space show. Together can we make Star City zen.

False, Star Trek’s new “BIG BAD” is CBS.

A silver florin to whoever correctly identifies which port this is!

Happy Pride! LGBT folks will always be welcome in my universe.

I don’t want any of the 2026 Hess minis and I’m at all clear on how they are “America 250”. But I am glad they’re back to checking off previously unminiaturized trucks instead of repeating them like last year.

Ancient English teacher accused me of faking eye surgery that left me immobile and blind for months. Turned out she’d also been awful to my mom when she was a grad student. When her name showed up on an MCEA newsletter’s in memoriam list we celebrated with a nice dinner. She was probably faking it.
