The beautiful Ranger-class starship, recently remastered in #StarTrekOnline. Thanks to @thomasthecat.bsky.social and @ramonmatas.bsky.social Absolutely stunning and I suspect Matt Jefferies would be proud @mikeokuda.bsky.social @ricksternbach.bsky.social

Watching my favourite film Star Trek Generations again and I can't help but think how top tier 90s visual effects are. This just looks absolutely real to me in a way a lot of modern visual effects don't.

I actually really like the tadpole Deinonychus and I'm happy they didn't replace it with the redesign in Jurassic World Evolution 3, but the new variant is looking niiiiice

Full reveal coming soon!

USS Dao, NCC-2503, a Trafalgar class starship as designed by Jamie Armstrong-Hughes.

Absolutely love the movie era aesthetic, and something about short necked starships of the era really get me.

You might think that you don't matter in this world, but because of you,

someone has a favorite mug to drink their tea out of that you bought them. Someone hears a song on the radio, and it reminds them of you. Someone has read a book you recommended to them and gotten lost in its pages. Someone's remembered a joke you told them and smiled to themselves on the bus.

Never think you don't have an impact.

Your fingerprints can't be wiped away from the little marks of kindness that you've left behind.

Thank you for sharing, which is something rather courageous. Many people will identify with your journey and I hope it helps them not feel alone or ashamed. Again thank you Seàn!

A literary Iguanodon at the Earth Sciences Library. Do any other libraries have dinosaurs or other antediluvian creatures carved into the furniture?

A year ago I made an over-the-top list of 100+ improvements that would make Jurassic World Evolution 3 absolutely PERFECT.

It's actually crazy how many of these made it into the game, including the newly revealed random island generator!
