I first discovered Battletech in October 1985, about a month after seeing my first episode of Robotech.
On that October day, the Warhammer/Tomahawk stood out on the box art, and while I learned that it wasn't a Robotech game. I fell in love with it anyway.

Vallejo is treating its workers terribly and they are on an indefinite strike. Please spread the word and let everyone know about it. We have all used their products, the brand has grown a lot over the years, but the benefits have only gone to the management and shareholders.

Despite feeling under the weather I still cranked out this scenic diorama base for my partner's "New Year New Army" Battletech submission.
It's on display at The Squabblin' Goblin in Belmont, MA so check it out!

Let’s be honest: the true good guys of #battletech are the Jade Falcons. They had the Black Watch, their founder brought a sword to a gunfight and won, they kicked ass in the Inner Sphere, they had Adian Pryde, Marthe Pryde, and Joanna.
We just won’t talk about that Malvina Hazen thing, quiaff?

Might be unconventional but borrowing the idea off of gunpla: using a fine-tip pen to do the panel lines really adds some pop.

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

Mechwarrior 5: Clans is pretty cool so far. It does a very good job of depicting the clans as written in the novels/lore.
The cutscene animations are very well done as well. My only hangup are the facial animations.
Some characters just have insane facial plasticity.
