This is easily mocked, but it's probably fine. It doesn't make a difference to the folks who were already checked out due to Wolf fatigue. For everyone else, she's a prominently-placed but not very developed character with a bit of name recognition.

Against my better judgement given my physical condition and pains the last week I was called to coat my fox patrol dropship . I should have listened but totally worth it .. going for this color. Will use a sepia wash. #Battletech #FoxPatrol #Mechwarrior

Sooo … biopsy negative. But blood tests for the antibody still super high . Next is another EMG in December , where they poke and prod me with needles and electrodes .

A quick thread about why the image below and its implications terrify me.

My father, for many reasons, was a saint of a man. As he grew older, into his mid 80s, he developed issues separating dreams from reality, especially when waking up from naps.
This guy has the codes to nuclear weapons.

Yeah, this guy 👇

The folks at Sarna were kind enough to review my latest BattleTech novel!
I read Outfoxed, the latest from @swankmotron.com and Fox Patrol's first standalone novel. It's good, wholesome BattleTech for these trying times. My review on Sarna (slight spoilers if you haven't read it yet!).

Still true, ten years later. Funny story, I was sitting in that exact same spot in the exact same coffee shop this morning, getting my writing done.

There is a real kinda traumatic stress thing that happens when youre waking up every day waiting to see if your government has finally decided that you will die painfully with no medical assistance in 2026 that has previously helped you stay alive over the last several years.

20 mission campaign and 6 new mechs on top of the excellent cinematic is not good enough for you? Is your hate for clan wolf blinding you this much? 😂

I thought your dislike of the wolves was all in fun for the game, as we all have factions we like & dislike, but this is sort of a trash rant tbh.
Of course they were going to do wolves dlc. I used to dislike all the clans but these games changed my mind. I'm just glad we're getting more MechWarrior

For once Amazon's prying spyware made a recommendation I actually appreciated. Perfect display for my Rasalhague 4th Kavalari Berserker Lance when I finish them.
