Oh to live in a big musty house atop a hill overlooking a city.

A still from The Addams Family (1991), featuring a large, old house with an adjacent graveyard, overlooking a city in the distance at night time.

Who wants to tell them?

A screenshot of a Youtube comment saying "Alien seems like someone's weird-gay fan fiction now. We know what they want to do with those aliens. THe shows going to end with someone banging an alien."

From Frankensteins creature to Graboids from Tremors, we're looking at sci-fi monsters on Spacedock, and having a think over what makes them more conceptually interesting than paranormal ones.

It's Spacedock time! This week we're looking at a selection of realistic interstellar designs to see what makes them tick. Featuring some cool art by @zandoarts.bsky.social, @problemecium.bsky.social and @retrovisorrr.bsky.social

Well the lasers that are output from these are nothing special. There's no nuclear in the beam itself.

Guess what's still in the video?

Here's the blog post from @toughsf.bsky.social that I based part of the video on, with lots more technical details if you're into that sort of thing.

We're back with the goofy-ass almost clickbait future weapon tech for this weeks Spacedock video! This time its nuclear lasers, with thanks to @toughsf.bsky.social for his blog post on the topic (linked in the following message).

Spacecraft docking is seen pretty frequently in sci-fi but its kinda treated as this easy to do thing. In reality its actually pretty complicated and interesting, watch this weeks video to see how!

I'm now completely happy with the effect, all the bugs, errors and jumpiness are gone! I'm 100% on this, no weirdness, no oddness, everything works from all the angles I'd ever want. All done in camera!

It had more set ups than payoffs, very unsatisfying. Overall the show was good but after the Maginot flashback it just sort of meandered.

Time for another Spacedock video inspired by Helldivers 2, this time it was the mechs that got me thinking about the incredibly specific niche that is infantry support vehicles.

X-wings are one of the most famous designs in sci-fi, partly due to their cool splitting wings. But why do they do that? That is what this weeks Spacedock video examines.

This weeks Spacedock video is about the way design language can be used to define a setting, or at least to place something within it. But its not perfect because like so many other things, it depends!

God I love the adorable little monsters in Alien: Earth. They're so delightfully disgusting.
