fist contact

#firstcontact #aliens #pulp #scifi #scifiart #astronaut #art

a spaceman struggles amongst little green men in a grand-looking chamber with a vista of space through the windows. in the foreground, his fist is connecting with the face of an alien. his other arm, holding a pistol, is being restrained by a panicked-looking alien. in the background, another alien stands shocked, while a fourth, standing on a dais and wearing a crown and robe, is holding their arms up and shouting with a dismayed look on their face

The Screaming Dragoons is a guild of young deserters who realized that they'd rather risk their lives exploring Viridia than fighting each other.

El próximo número de @revistaloop.bsky.social tratará sobre religión y folclore, y vendrá acompañado de un devocionario para el cual tuve el placer de ilustrar la portada.

Espero que esta Rennala os anime a echar unas moneditas al crowdfunding para este nuevo bucle de la revista <3

Absolutely love this post. Another example why we need to study history from the bottom up, not necessarily top down.

We banned a guy on the Steam forums for repeatedly saying there were “too many women” in our game

So he flipped his positive review to negative

Still totally worth it

My kid's Clacton nursery has cut hot lunches for toddlers to save money, and sent round leaflets to parents advising us on preparing packed lunches for around 90p per day.

They have no waiting list for places because there's so few jobs here worth doing once you've covered childcare.

Twelve Jobs Nigel has earned over £1 million in additional income since the general election.

To understand the scale of it, since the July 2024 election he's earned roughly £100k more as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion than Starmer gets as PM.

Clerics were really easy as I was using the Forgotten Realms as a guide and that campaign setting already had very cool books about faiths and cults.
If you have FR knowledge you will spot which god worships each one!!

Ah, happy 88th anniversary of the day Oswald Mosley tried to sell fascism to Liverpudlians – and someone concussed him with a brick

A man in a suit stands at a microphone which has been mounted on the roof of a van. There are loudspeakers at his feet, and a building behind him. He has an arm raised, and is flinching as projectiles are hurled at him, because he's a fucking Nazi

not *even* martinis at lunch?! how low has a once great society fallen

screenshot from a dumbass quote from a stupid article about how americans (particularly maga fucks) are drinking less, apparently: "And they all say: 'Nobody drinks here. Nobody even has martinis at lunch. What is happening in this country?'"
