Happy Thanksgiving. The turkey is already cooking, so here's something else with the texture of uncooked poultry.

SPYNX Securities is the third and strangest faction; a bunch of assassins with extensive cybernetic augmentation. The long coat mini is on cults/MMF for free.

I fucking love Aeon Flux.

A man-amplifier design for "Citizen one", designed with a bit more of a 20th century vibe to differentiate it from the other planets of the grobusverse - but those pesky hydraulics and other greeble were too obnoxious to draw a million times, and as such got CUT from the comic for a simpler design

Brigador Killers was originally going to be a 40k reskin of #Brigador where you played as a Dreadnought, but ultimately I didn't like the terms so then we tried some different stuff, then we came back and asked ourselves:

"What if you could get out of the mech?"

BAM +5 years of dev time lol

jokes aside as popeye enters public domain a reminder we got mario and donkey kong because nintendo couldn't use popeye and bluto, like star wars happened because lucas was denied making a flash gordon movie

let corpos denying you recycling their stuff drive you to do better new stuff that's yours
Donkey Kong Was Originally A Popeye Game Miyamoto says Nintendo's main monkey might not have existed Posted by Tom East on 25th Nov 2009 at 09:56 10 Donkey Kong is one of the most iconic games characters of all time but he may not have existed had Nintendo followed their original idea. In the latest 'Iwata Asks' interview, Shigeru Miyamoto admits that Donkey Kong was originally meant to be a Popeye game. "I sketched out a few ideas for games using Popeye," said Miyamoto. "At that point, Yokoi-san was good enough to bring these ideas to the President's attention and in the end one of the ideas received official approval. Yokoi-san thought that designers would become necessary members of development teams in order to make games in the future. And that's how Donkey Kong came about." "But originally it was going to be a Popeye game," Iwata continued. "That's right," Miyamoto responded. "But while I can't recall exactly why it was, we were unable to use Popeye in that title. It really felt like the ladder had been pulled out from under us, so to speak." "It was a really lucky break! So next we began to flesh out the idea for a game based on the concept we had come up with." Imagine a world without Donkey Kong. No Donkey Kong would mean no Jumpman. And without Jumpman we wouldn't have Mario! Tom East

Rebecca was one of the founders of Interplay and programmed & designed for some of the most influential games of my youth, notably Bard's Tale I & III and Wasteland. She will be missed.

The lyrics to "Processed By The Boys" by Protomartyr When the ending comes, is it gonna run At us like a wild-eyed animal? A foreign disease washed upon the beach A dagger plunged from out of the shadows A cosmic grief beyond all comprehension All good laid low by outside evil Against belief, a riot in the streets A giant beast turning mountains into black holes Fiction Fiction No, none of that Rolling in your heads Reality has a far duller edge Everybody's hunted with a smile Being processed by the boys They got the job when they came back to town Why not let 'em earn a living? Fill out the form, download the app Submit your face into the scanner Everybody's hunted with a smile Being processed by the boys In their tatterdemalion uniforms They look so nice Tattoos of their children So cool, so nice This time will be gentle enough Gentle enough This time will be gentle enough Gentle enough Next time will be different Different Next time will be different So cool, so nice They'll be gentle enough Gentle enough They'll be gentle enough Gentle enough

Hello. I'm a 3D sculptor and I've been working on presentation lately for a set of models I'm planning on releasing. Straight to business:

It’s still remarkable that Disney produced - and released - this segment in 1940. A horror short that should rank with its Universal monster movie contemporaries… The animation is lush and experimental, and really shows off the Disney special animated effects team…

IVE DONE IT

Closed Casket Special.... AS Precursor James #Brigador

I know the Broodmare isn't exactly the most challenging mech to use, but 39 Districts in a row was still *grueling*; especially since i was going for all primary and secondary objectives. Only had 1 Alarm the entire run too

I really loved Ninja Gaiden (2004), especially in Black and Sigma iterations. I thought the Wooden Sword/Unlabored Flawlessness progression was so cool that I copied it (sorta) in The White March.

Haven't done one of these in a minute! I am Esteban Sanchez, New Mexico based illustrator! Mostly do key art for indie games but have also done some covers (comics, albums). Anyway hope y'all dig my work!
A mech stands alone on some tide pool. A row of muscles sit on the rocks in the foreground. Billowing clouds in the background frame the mech. Exit, the protagonist stands with a bat in one hand and a phone in the other. She is surrounded by corpses. The background is a silhouetted industrial site, orange golden hour clouds hanging above. The title "PIGFACE" fills the image. John Cruelty sits in his car, foot resting on the dashboard. A cigarette in one hand and a pistol in the other. A G11 rests on the passengers side. He is wearing a pink leather jacket, pants, gloves and shoes with green sunglasses. The world outside is yellow. A skeletal P.I revived for one last case, wearing a fedora and trench coat stands in the foreground. Flames surrounding him. In the background a sign reads "No Jobs in California. If you are looking for work, KEEP OUT". Burning pamphlets fall all around him reading "Mexicans Keep Moving" the title reads Calavera P.I. written by Marco Finnegan

GIVE ME THE FUCKING 4K PLEASE!!! I WANT TO SEE THIS SHIT IN 4K!! I LOVE STRANGE DAYS
satyrosphilbrucato.bsky.social Satyros Phil Brucato @satyrosphilbrucato.bsky.social · Oct 15
It's about time Strange Days finally begins getting the retrospective love and respect it deserves. To me, it's the best pre-Matrix cyberpunk film other than Blade Runner and Robocop, and still better than most cyberpunk films made since.

30 years ago, Katherine Bigelow made a sci-fi flop that changed her career for the better
Strange Days is a noir-soaked science-fiction thriller set against a backdrop of racial tension, police brutality, sexual assault, and disruptive tech
