"... an unapologetically hilarious and campy sci-fi romp adventure with perhaps one of the best playable villains in recent memory... Size Five Games has knocked it out of the park yet again."
Review: Earth Must Die
To take back his already stolen throne, VValak has his eyes set on Earth, and not in a good way (obviously). Here's our full review.

If Labour won’t nationalise water, their “big overhaul” is a con.

Sewage in our rivers. Bills going up. Profits protected.

Public services should be in public hands.

Week by week - Laura Kuenssberg is interviewing the party leaders.

When I agreed to come on the show, I was told Nigel Farage was also doing it.

He's now pulled out - and they've sent the deputy instead.

The same Nigel Farage who's refusing to debate me.

A pattern emerging...

In the seventies, Marvel was tasked with making a comic book adaptation of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

It went completely bananas, and by issue 8 had created this superhero, a robot who achieved sentience after being exposed to a monolith.

As of January 15, X (Formally Twitter), will have an irrevocable license to use all and every content in the platform, for A.I training and you can opt out of it.
I recommend all artists to just completely leave that platform.

Hi everybody! Thank you all for sharing my posts recently.
I'm needing to get some slots set up before the 15th.
I can do 3d printable designs, but also stuff for rigging/game/animation.
I also have simpler $100-200 commission spots available.
Cheers! :D
Setting up commission slots!
I can make 3d characters for print or for realtime use (games/vtubing). I have additional info in my pinned post, but feel free to reach out for a quote or if you have any questions.
I also have simpler printable sculpt options available.

Thank you for any shares.

Organizing and consolidating files, and sifting through the wreckage of various "Technobabylon 2" versions floating around my backup drives. Some of it makes me want to go back in time and slap past-James in the head, and others make me think "hey, that's not bad"

I posted a not fun update to my GoFundMe. I fell and broke my back. I'm almost certainly paralyzed for life. I'll start a new GoFundMe when I know more what my life will look like in the future, but until then donations will help with lost income and my mom to pay for gas and VERY expensive parking.

Technobabylon has a great symphonic synth-style soundtrack that certainly evokes games like Deus Ex as well as the Vangelis music from Blade Runner, but it's also strong enough to stand on its own. Give it a listen!

Here's "Title Theme" by Nathan Allen Pinard.
