Man I love retroachievements but today was hard. Not hard for me, just hard to see and watch.

That being said, I'm glad the hack is banned and a shittier "game" was taken off the site. That "game" was always my biggest problem; anyway, back to developing sets for GOOD games 🤘

a vibrantly colored work in progress illustration focusing on the face and hand of a man holding a quill. His eyes are bloodshot rainbows, his skin is blue and his hand is wearing a bright red glove. There's a ribbon of darkness coming from the tip of the quill

Star Trek Voyager scene. Not a lot going on in this one folks, just a close up shoulder and head shot of the good Doctor EMH in his teal starfleet uniform. He's looking slightly aggrieved, as per ushe. Closed caption reads, "Computer, deactivate iguana."

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. We're close in on Riker who is sitting and leaning in and talking to what looks like a youth. His eyes are blue as the ocean and he looks serious in a non threatening kind of way. Closed caption reads, "I know, the Ferengi made Daddy turn off the main computer."

Star Trek The Original Series scene. Ok, so Spock and Bones are standing just outside some open doors leading to a large cargo bay on the Enterprise. You can see into the bay, and inside there's 8 or 10 redshirts lined up ceremonially, and a shuttlecraft at the back of the line with some officers stepping out, as if they've just arrived. Kirk is shown standing inside the cargo bay looking on with his back to the camera. Alright, back to Bones and Spock; they're chatting and wearing dress uniforms will lots of additional flair pieces. Picture one, closed caption reads, "How does that Vulcan salute go? Picture Two shows Bones trying to manipulate his hand into the Live Long and Prosper hand gesture, with Spock modeling it perfectly next to him as example. Picture three shows Bones still working on getting his fingers rightly spaced. Closed caption reads, "That hurts worse than the uniform." . .

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. We're in personal quarters on ship, you can tell because there's a future space plant in the background. Here, we're looking at William Riker standing and having a conversation William Riker. (One is in Gold uniform the other is in red.) Picture one is focused on William Riker. He has a hopeful smile and excitement. Closed caption reads, "I actually thought I might go with the name Thomas." Picture two is next focused on William Riker, in response. He has that sort of half hearted kind of sort of enthused by what he's hearing face. Closed caption reads, "I never really cared for that name." .

Bluesky's coming on strong. Been here a year+ and the last few weeks feel different. A warm welcome to all the transplants, we're happy to see you. And for my own intro: I post dumb star trek pics w/alt texts. If you honour me with a follow, I will bring the dumb star trek content you crave.
A bearded Geordi La Forge sits at a poker table. A trombone sits behind him, ready to be blown. He looks as cool as the other side of the pillow and is pointing at someone, as if they just figured out the punchline of a clever joke.

Voyager scene. Seven of Nine (tertiary adjunct of unimatrix 01) is pictured. She has a dolphin shaped metal robotic implant around her left eye because she is a borgs. Closed caption reads, "Fun will now commence."

8 years ago, an idea popped up and I started this as a prototype using pre-rendered character, by the time I learned 3D and animation, and found a way to import 3D models into Doom.

Latest update from @brewster.kahle.org (Oct 17, 5:58pm): blog.archive.org/2024/10/18/i...
Last week, along with a DDOS attack and exposure of patron email addresses and encrypted passwords, the Internet Archive’s website javascript was defaced, leading us to bring the site down to access and improve our security.  The stored data of the Internet Archive is safe and we are working on resuming services safely. This new reality requires heightened attention to cyber security and we are responding. We apologize for the impact of these library services being unavailable. The Wayback Machine, Archive-It, scanning, and national library crawls have resumed, as well as email, blog, helpdesk, and social media communications.  Our team is working around the clock across time zones to bring other services back online. In coming days more services will resume, some starting in read-only mode as full restoration will take more time.  We’re taking a cautious, deliberate approach to rebuild and strengthen our defenses. Our priority is ensuring the Internet Archive comes online stronger and more secure. As a library community, we are seeing other cyber attacks—for instance the British Library, Seattle Public Library, Toronto Public Library, and now Calgary Public Library. We hope these attacks are not indicative of a trend. For the latest updates, please check this blog and our official social media accounts: X/Twitter, Bluesky and Mastodon. Thank you for your patience and ongoing support.
