#Hard-fi
This is hard sci-fi in the sense that the bodyguard gets fucked senseless by the gynoid

Otherwise it’s buttery soft sci-fi
🪐TERRA FLUX🪐

A mechanical lesbian sci-fi novella

A gynoid scientist & her butch bodyguard explore a new planet.

Things get weird fast.

35. No Straight Roads: Encore Edition (2020, PC / Consoles).

It's funny this shares a list with Hi-Fi Rush, a game with very similar themes, but has garnered greater press. More have likely played HFR than NSR, and I wouldn't blame them. It's arguably more polished.

And yet, I find NSR charming.

The Songs of Distant Earth by Arthur C. Clarke
1986
Grade: B

Great plot. Hard sci-fi. Unfortunately, Clarke writes like a retired scientist grandpa writing a story for his grandkids. Poor character development, worse dialogue. But he sticks the landing with a nicely written ending that saves it.

For the Stardust re-write, I leaned into slipstream. It was super fun. I'd been planning on it for a while, but 2025 was the first year the ink dried and lines were recorded, which you'll see and hear next year.

It's funny to me how the property went from diamond hard sci-fi to existential.

What about sci-fi poetry? Yes, it's a thing. Yes, I've written sci-fi poetry, quite a bit of it. A number of my sci-fi poems have seen publication.

For ground units: it's gotta be the Cizin. It's a filthy Clan design, but it's fast and hits pretty hard and I have a full Lance of them dedicated to killing command mechs! 😁
Air units: the classic Corsair medium Aerospace Fighter. It's just beautiful. 😍 Favorite space fighter design in all sci-fi!

Really hard sci-fi: Her gun makes her orgasm when she shoots
December 30, 2025 at 3:59 PM
A hard one actually! Torn between Phi (because kity, simple but effective design)
and Rylide (HUGE and soft and also fun taur char design)

And also this gooferretshark that I have not used in anything ever since making them, 'cause I never got around to making the project they were designed for.

Sci-fi can often be deeply philosophical and political because the settings allow us to explore real world issues in an augmented reality that runs close to our own. It lets us project forward and sideways, so we might ask ourselves questions that are otherwise hard to pitch
Great points! Sci-fi often tackles real-world issues, like in "The Dispossessed" by Ursula K. Le Guin, exploring utopia vs dystopia. "The future is already here—it's just not evenly distributed." Thoughts?
They literally stated that science fiction should be fantastical, optimistic, and lacking any allegory or reference to real world conflicts. It should not educate and warn. Just pure escapism.

Where have we heard that? "Keep politics out of sci-fi?"

Yeah. Same shit. Stop thinking like them.

Google Pixel Watch 4 LTE Crashes to Record Low Despite Being the Latest Android Smartwatch, Now Priced the Same as the Wi-Fi Model
Got yourself some lofty fitness goals as we enter the new year? It’s common to set a news years resolution that involves getting into better shape, but it can be hard to maintain these new routines past the first couple months of the year. The best way to stick to a fitness regimen is by collecting data. Seriously. Getting yourself a good GPS watch can provide you with the health insights and personal coaching that can keep you motivated to hit the gym all year long.

I am an avid reader of a German sci fi soap, published since 1960th still running today, Kindle was the only that I could download on, when I restarted reading this! Now own 3, and wouldn’t use any other! But that’s me! Convenient although I do have a library of hard covers! Still it’sgood reading

I've got no income still. Patreon has been helping for at least a little bit, Ko-fi too, with a few sales, but this month hit me hard. If you'd like to literally support an artist in need and in turn get some hi-res art, brushes and much love:

2025 was a very awful year for me, so many hard times, challenges, and lots of personal issues. It was almost hard to be positive at all.
But, the art I was doing and your support has definitely kept me going, and I thank all of you for that.

With that said, have this year's art summary

Wormholes aren't shortcuts. They are gambles. 🎲🕳️
We moved away from "instant travel" mechanics. Instead, using a wormhole requires massive energy and risks tearing your ship apart via tidal forces.
