Jet Jaguar

From someone in the field it only gets a little better honestly, and really only because you start to know what you’re looking for, but man some plats can be like those old follow the lines books. And architectural plans - yikes.

Like looking at computer schematics.

I agree but also I heard really dumb things about how it would have continued if it had at the time, not the least of reasons being it was going to dump both Suzuka and Aisha and at that point why bother?

Man I suck at r-type but the lore and depth of ships and designs in R-type final 1 and 2 have managed to suck me in and I just keep coming back to it.

Naoyuki Katoh's vision of R-Type's Dobkeratops, one very much in keeping with his signature style.

I love how it accentuates the biological horror and the claustrophobic feeling of weaving your way down infested tunnels.

If they drive a cybertruck they aren’t qualified to do the job because they’re clearly ignorant of its many issues. If they drive a huge jacked up pick up truck with no trace of dust or dirt then they don’t get out in the field enough and aren’t qualified.

The more impractical the truck the worse.

Cool

Cool cool cool

Comics need to bring back the willingness to make their abstract horrors look like particularly sick notepad sketches by the local high school’s best graffiti artist. (Very Complementary)

I mean let’s be real, the grimy CRT and VHS cyberpunk dystopias of the 90s don’t seem so bad these days, at least people could afford cool cyborg shit.

We dug up this old asset from our archives and think it's a great reminder to take a break and do something kind for yourself today!

Hey cut her some slack she hasn’t gotten any in ten thousand years

I'm so happy for her

Kinda wack no cap fr fr

Sure sucks it didn’t pass. Fuck Fetterman for his traitor ogre shit.

But keep your eye on how people vote on the budget approvals. Let’s see if their commitment to rein in this war means voting to stop funding it.

I don’t, I think the show sucked personally.

If you want to know why anonymity is important on the internet, ask any woman what her DMs look like, or any content creator with even mildly controversial opinions. This would get people killed, straight up.

I think if they’d literally elected the actual Shrek he’d have been less gross.

America really, really desperately needs a way for the voters to initiate a no confidence vote, or some way of ejecting reps who go this far off the fucking rails.

Oh yeah I watched that one in the theater, it can be a little slow and quiet at times but I thought it was good. Everyone did a real good job.

What I really hope is that other democrats learn the lesson that the POLICIES Talarico was running on have a chance to win elections even in TX. Because that’s the key for the rest of the electorate, not just “okay yeah but are they white”. That may be part of it in TX but they need more elsewhere.

Oh and just in case the disclaimer is necessary, these are just things I was building in the game No Man's Sky. I don't think anyone would mistake these for something I "made" myself but I just figured I'd make that clear.

I wish I could do more than click a heart. I hope you have some people you can talk to about it, or that you're at least not alone.

Smart, achievable goals

Yeah I posted the others, I forgot to chain them and still had to put the alt text in.

A yellow ship seen from the side, flying very fast. It has round downward-facing turbines like a quad-copter and two large engine thrusters on the top rear. It also has thrusters on the back that appear to swing down into legs in a landing position, in conjunction with the ski-like leg on the front.

Same ship from a higher angle.

And this was the first one I mostly finalized, the Galapagos Galaxy HV76. It's a little awkward but it's been reliable so far. I just felt like trying new stuff. I do like this one's landing gear though, since they flip up into thrusters when it's flying.

A dark red ship from the top-side, in space, with lots of glowing red lines and sharp angular edges. It has two large sharp turbine-ish things on either side that give it the name, due to the vague resemblance to lobster claws.

The most recent one I tried building was this one, the Heavy Lobster AV5.

A top-side view of a space ship that is light beige with red accents. Its edges are mostly rounded and it has a slightly alien-looking cockpit, with four large turbines and two wing-like thrusters on the side.

The previous ship shown docked from the side, showing that there is a bottom level that stretches for 3/4ths the length, a mid-level that stretches the full length and comprises the bulk of the ship, and two separate top levels - one just behind the cockpit and another at the rear of the ship. There's an entry ramp at the front and a drop-down platform entrance in the midship underside.

A side view of the previous ship in flight, nothing new to report just another perspective.

In a desperate attempt to extricate myself from a doomscrolling spiral let me make good on my promise to share my space RVs.

The one I've been trying to make my main ship is the EX20 Owl of the Radical Empathy.

Life of the party

Gigan (green chicken kaiju) seemingly floating from the sky down to Godzilla and Jet Jaguar (silver, red and yellow robot) who are on the ground helping each other up.
