This account is mostly dedicated to my hobbies. For example: art, scifi, writing, gaming, Trek podcasting, and hanging out with friends. Everyone needs a "third space" to relax with.
One thing I love about a lot of Star Wars is how sacrilegious it can be about treasured iconography. It adds a touch of lived human experience. Timothy's character and performance was great at eliciting this.

Punch Punch Forever has given the perfect face to embody human reactions to money men AI plans (which aren't "we're scrapping this shit" or "god damn this is stupid, never".)

You know what we did to lying ass genocidal fascist potentates in Halo?

Didn't give into their bullshit.

The party bus is built on inclusivity, honor, and humanism; no matter the feckless corporate acquiesce. Give the Arbiter a frog suit and let's fucking go

USS Curiosity
NX-5022
Theseus Class

Prototype for larger starship design and production, launched in 2322 and mothballed 2325. The Curiosity was reactivated in 2409 to support secondary missions while newer vessels were allocated to conflict zones and primary exploration.

Here's an example for why Elden Ring is made for evolutionary biologists.

A prolific species of man-bats in the game has markings on its wings like the eyes of the Frenzy Flame. Yet it is weak and causes no frenzy.

It's an example of BATesian mimicry.🥁

(Batesian is when harmless mimics harmful)

I'm having way too much fun with this.

I *really* don't feel good about Star Trek Scouts (as an educator and soon to be uncle) when the show's content is exclusively "which marketable product solve an extremely obvious problem" based on AI recommendations.

Sadly, it's consumer propaganda by end-stage capitalism.

Skeksis chamberlain passed over for Nobel peace prize. System must be rigged. Want peace. Please. Want peace!

Tis glorious! So happy that the KDF is getting love in spectacular fashion. Congrats!

Another unusual addition: under the Suliban skin type option there's the option for male skin types on a female head model. Another thing that's worth expanding (eg. adding some of the gendered skin)...since these work just fine and give folks more options for aliens, vibes, (and representation)
September 25, 2025 at 6:21 PM
Also, some of the hat categories now have a Suliban head type...(Just 01 but with the Suliban skin option).

@counselor-sunna.bsky.social, could we have this expanded to regular humanoid? Might not be intentional, but would be great to have in alien tailor! Parts look great
September 25, 2025 at 6:18 PM
#StarTrekOnline PSA: New parts in the alien tailor!

Head type: Wide Nose and Cheeks
Also includes 2 Na'Kuhl skins

Yay! Waaaay back in the day Na'kuhl parts accidentally leaked to the tailor prior to their appearance in STO. It was patched out and never returned (until now). Thankies STO team!

I also had a go at designing how they might appear sans portal (riffing on the Romulan drone ship design from Enterprise, making an implicit connection).

Machine Federation portal squibblies! (from PIC season 1)

The armor design's also giving me Dune vibes (Sardukar + Atreides-ish plate).
