I occasionally see articles and toots about being arseholes and generally behaving badly.

So, as an antidote to that, I'd like to tell you a story about @clacksee being an excellent human being.

A while ago, she sent a message to her mailing list offering a large discount off any of her books when bought direct. I decided to use it to buy a couple of her books to use as prizes at the tombola that will be running at our local in June.

If you like "#SciFi without the pew-pew" or cosy London noir, I can heartily recommend her books.

I've read all five of the books in the photo, plus some others (mostly shorts that are only available as ebooks). They're all very good.

Still working my way through Three-Body, the Chinese TV adaptation of The Three-Body Problem. Sometimes it gets slow but it is so much better than the Netflix version. Especially if you read the book(s). #scifi

This week on , the weekly monster movie watch party, we've got STRANGER FROM VENUS (1954)! It's apparently so similar to The Day the Earth Stood Still that it wasn't released in the US until years later for fear of legal action. Fun!

The flick's not available on Archive.org, but it's on Tubi and the Extremely Easy To Download From, Wink Wink YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASAPL92HuhU

We start at 9pm eastern on Sundays! Hope to see you there :D

I just found out season 2 of Outer Range is available!! I absolutely loved season 1, it was such a unique story (sci-fi western!). I guess I'll sign up for Prime for a month to watch it. Anything else new and good on prime right now?

Today I decided to do nothing but build mechanics and learn the Unreal Engine, hence the many posts... hope you like the result. I took the animation from mixamo and made the material for the energy field

2024 marks the 45th anniversary of sci-fi horror masterpiece Alien, which was released May 25, 1979.

The first time I saw it I was pretty young, it was on TV and censored. We actually had it recorded on a VHS from TV, which is something my family did a lot. I only saw the full uncensored version years later! 😂

"... the Undying were weighed down by the huge burden of the past, each locked into a separate world.

... The present is just a surface bubble of sensation surrounding a great bubble of memory. You forget how to see, to hear; you forget how to talk to people. You forget other people even exist. You sink inwards into yourself, thinking about the past. Living on and on without end."

, Transcendent, 2005

A unified universe.
Constant crossovers of characters and events.
A timeline stretching from the beginning of the world to its end.
Welcome to my world...

In Spanish, the word "topo" means "mole", so the Spanish word for , "topología" means "science of the moles".

I like that!

The film is based on US author Armin Joseph Deutsch's story "A Subway Named Mobius", published in 1950.

Based on the same story is the German film Möbius (1992).

Generative AI mixes up Homo Sapiens and lizard facts while writing biology textbooks, causing mass hypothermia death in robot-run hospitals! Now that's a killing in 'cold blood'. (Screenshots from Neofeud 2)

I started prototyping object tooltips, two simple animations and a redraw method that uses OnPaint function, in it I used Draw Line node, to be continued...
