The popularity of decommissioned Jackknifes with shipping co-ops came as no surprise to Astoria Starworks, who quickly began work on a dedicated light freighter. Fully automated and propelled by an economical magneto-inertial-fusion engine, the Boxcutter was the result.

While the utility of dazzle camo on spacecraft which fight beyond visual range is often questioned, no one doubts that it makes for a rather striking livery. Featuring
@kerbo.bsky.social's UFS-It159 "Glacier" orbital control fighter.

The 28th of this month is the lizard day for those unaware

This year all I want is to get my hands on the Ship Shape demo (when its ready)

Since they dont have a patreon or anything, maybe go support Tomas' ongoing work by purchasing Bulwark. it's a funky lite - citybuilder/strategy/adventure game
Alright I am still a child... making model boats..

The real story of trans suicide rates has always been of people forcefully denied themselves and then abused their entire lives for even asking

when most other people kill themselves after living trapped by hostile authority figures at and away from home, the cause is usually considered obvious

Just in case you want to give them the benefit of the doubt, when business people come up with ideas like this they are absolutely grinning from ear to ear at all of the labor those often desperate people are going to give them for free

It is malice, and they should be punished for even trying this
Venerable magazine Harper's Bazaar is running its short story contest again, with the winner receiving "the chance" of publication in the magazine. Just one catch: per the wording of the guidelines, _just by entering_ you transfer copyright ownership of your story to Harper's parent, Hearst. 1/3

y'all I have made SO MANY icons for this game. This isn't even all of 'em! It's just the relics. 180 down, we're definitely gonna hit at least 200 before launch.

(except the three face icons in the middle-right, those are by @shoehead.itch.io)

This was a ton of fun to watch, Tex continues to prove that the BPL is insane by upping the ante with each new video.

There were enough minor issues bugging me about this that I went back and did another pass on it.

I've rigged the readiator with an armature with some creatively applied cloth sim, so now it looks so much better in motion and i dont even have to animate it myself for the most part!

Open again. Will make a proper post later, just looking for some buffer income in the meantime. Preparing for the winter storm earlier this month drained me.
Just realized it's the end of the year and I need to add a little more to my income. Opening for some general comms.
This may be one of the last times I take these before I re-consider my prices (need a flats option because I just cannot help but shade).

only recently noticed i entirely forgot to model the viewports.

These serve no mechanical function and are probably smaller than they look, they are integrated into non-essential hab modules as even a small window to the universe outside will make the ship feel less cramped on long deployments
