So the #Squadron42 facebook has activated suddenly with this post on Odin. Don't read too much into it though, as it seems to mostly be in support of the last quarterly update.

I've gone all in to a stompy fighty battlesuit Tau army. So this is my final boss. The KV128 Stormsurge. Is it good? probably not. Is it cool? Oh hell yeah! Now I just need to find 200 bucks...

If I ever get the chance to play D&D again I have a character I have been wanting to play. A wizard that tired of getting his ass kicked so he picked up martial arts. Just so that when things get bad I can throwing hands and surprise the hell out of some goons.

Apparently it's just like a Chevy Silverado entirely paired down, so just as it was foretold in Battletech, GM remains on top.
Now they just need to get on to making those Ancestral Blackjacks

TIL about the new replacement for the Humvee, the ISV. Love to see that basically every sci-fi representation of future of a light infantry transport vehicle was in fact correct.
Hope the Army likes their new Warthogs.

This is one of those images that is gonna get circulated. When a Presbyterian minister is holding his arms open, offering ICE agents salvation, gets maced in the face by the thugs. This is biblical martyrdom shit.

#OctoberWorldbuilders 3: The buildings of the desert, specifically Nowak, pull from the proud tradition of underground desert dwellings to keep temps reasonable. They dig large pits that act as courtyards and digging into the rock and dirt to create vaulted rooms connected to the main courtyard.

#OctoberWorldbuilders 2: The people who live in the Syria Planum Desert are mostly those who reject living in the Outer Sphere. While most of them are hermits several have banded together around an oasis deep in the desert to form the town of Nowak which serves as the hub of activity for the desert.

Power armor isn't exclusively Heinlein but his descriptions of the technology resonated through so many readers. The descriptions and the illustration of it on the cover supposedly inspired both Gundam and the first designs of the Zaku. Then both continued to inspire power armor through video games.

#OctoberWorldBuilders 1: Mars's most famous desert is the Syria Planum Desert, where the wind coming off the Tharsis Plateau create a unique hum called the "Song Of The Dunes." While small compared to Earth's deserts the climate is much drier and colder with temperatures that fluctuate wildly.
