Sadie is getting older and she's had issues jumping off the bed,so I bought her some stairs. Here she is performing the OSHA inspection.

I haven't done a Battletech post in a bit, so I thought I'd do an iconic mech, the Urbanmech. Nicknamed Urbie by the fandom, while this trashcan on stubby legs is a fan favorite, it's more of a mascot. It's slow, it has okayish weaponry, and it explodes when you look at it funny. We love him though!

No paragraphs of text today. Just my favorite scene ever from Gundam.

Sadie taking a renaissance nap in the sun. Her favorite toy is by her butt, it's the claw from a lobster toy that she ripped off as a kitten. It's her security blanket.

I think I shared this in your discord as well, but I played with Sadie's belly on my way by her and she had an existential crisis over it.

I'll be lurking today because this came out.... Hard to type when your controls are a flightstick and throttle.

Lazier Battletech post today. This explains the universe pretty well.

No Battletech today, just kitty. This is my 10 year old void Sadie.

Today we have my OTHER favorite mech, the Nightstar 9J. This 95 ton sniper's factories were destroyed in 2767, and production wasn't restarted until almost 300 years later. The two cannons on its arms are gauss rifles which say that thing that's 2 kilometers from you no longer exists.

So, today we have my personal favorite mech to pilot, the Stalker. Specifically, the Stalker 3H, which pretty much just brings long range missiles but brings enough to party. In MechWarrior 5 I like to sit back about a kilometer and pepper the enemy until they fold while commanding my lance mates.

I posted a few Battletech models on the Discord and this was what Dea said was her favorite. Released in the year 3053 just before the Clan Invasion, the Bushwacker is a 55 ton mech with a low profile that makes it hard to hit. It tends to carry at least one large cannon and at least a few missiles.

Welcome to my Battletech hyperfixation. Battletech asks the questions "What if humans are the only intelligent beings in the galaxy? And what if they had giant stompy pilotable robots and planet ending weaponry?" Like 40k, every faction is awful in its own way, but there are some great characters.
