When it came time to talk about the Mercenary Pirates in #crimsonskies, I thought it would be fun to use Merc groups from Battletech.

I had a set list of companies I wanted going in, but when I skimmed over Big Kev here, I was like "lol yeah, I'm using them". He just looks so happy in his decal.

I found an old Thrustmaster Flight Control Mk.1 Joystick in Value Village. It has no cable, I cant really use it, and its missing the WCS, but I felt compelled to buy it. Always wanted one as a kid anyway.

So while I'm stuck in render hell, I brought out the flashes and did some photography.

So I found out today that on this month, 33 years ago (HOLY F-), the original version of #StarWars: X-Wing was released on floppy. Which means I have an excuse to repost my own version of the X-Wing box cover art.

In the long ago of 2000 AD, Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda aired. And while it was obv made on the cheap, there was nothing like it.

Then it was killed off mid-Season 2 and replaced with another show using the same name, cast, and props as the one before. But still different from the old show. #scifi

Way back when I was covering The Second Shivan War from #freespace2 , I made up an old style boxing poster for when the Colossus faced off against the first Sathanas. I just found the image again on my phone.

Inside every Man are two Timber Wolves, or Mad Cats depending on where you hail from. One Timber Wolf is a Falcon, the other Timber Wolf is a Wolf.

Could I have phrased that less confusingly? Yes.

So. In desperate need of help.

Beginning of every year, the Electrical Commission plays some games, where basically everyone's Power Doubles, which also puts one's rates into a higher bracket for the next bill.

Basically have $5 left for the month, before my medications.

"Nee-San, it's Bear's Sabre from that movie, 'First to Kilrah!'"

Wing Commander ships are my equivalent to comfort food in the realm of 3D rendering. All the more reason to do something with one.

While I was working on the Bloodhawk video, a very strange issue came up in Blender 5 that I dont think happened in old versions, as it turned objects into disco balls in the final render. Sometimes it would do it, and others not. But never the same way twice. But rendering single frames was fine?

The Bloodhawk in #crimsonskies represents the three S's that are prevalent in the design philosophy of Hughes Aviation airplanes: Speed, Style, & puSher props.

Today I learned that Vagabond from Wing Commander was actually Shredder all this time. What. The. Fuc-.

Maybe I should get him to sign my WC3 Premiere Edition.

I honestly couldn't tell you what I based the voice on. Something stereotypically 1930s-ish? I dunno. It just kinda felt right. #crimsonskies

Why yes, the Japanese #Umamusume Racing Association would have an Air Militia in #Crimsonskies.

(At least my headcanon likes to think so)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, from the team at Mac's Lore. Which is essentially just me since there is no actual team back here. So it's me, I'm wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to come.

Actually come to think of it I probably should've just said that at the start.

"A sci-fi comedy adventure game"

Something about that just sounds like it has a tone of defeat to it. Especially knowing a little of its dev history over the years. Still, its from the SpaceQuest guys so there's a non-zero chance I'll buy it.

Doing some #crimsonskies work tonight for a potential video. At current I'm working between two options for the next topic, but unfortunately both are turning out to be long ones.

So I'm now trying for a 3rd option that's hopefully a lot shorter and easier to produce. #b3d #blender
