Me; and when I do some colleagues mock my inability to "read the conversation" all while saying that they "understand and embrace neurodiversity". 🫠

Superb video reminding us of the ultimate price paid by so many Royal Navy submariners over the last 125years.
During a silent patrol, the crew of a Royal Navy Amphion-class submarine investigates an unfamiliar sound echoing through the hull. In the 125-year history of the Royal Navy Submarine Service nearly 6000 submariners and over 150 submarines never returned. Lest we forget.

To be fair, Kemi did a fucking fantastic job here. “We got 4p off Gherkins” Look at Andy Burnham’s FACE 😂

Some more pixel goodness from the Nationstates project I have ongoing. Mid-late Imperial War CCA 'Cyclone'; based on the Hawker Tornado prototype with a Centaurus radial engine. Turned out well, I think.

And a quick AI (boo?) render; just a basic prompt and a reference image thrown into the model. Nothing fancy. Not a bad result, all things considered.

Product of the last hour or so, just some pixel doodles of the Gloster F5/34; a potentially superb "what-if" 1930s fighter. Finalised the base, with some simple shading and layers. Gonna snooze for now; will work on liveries and future airframe developments tomorrow. 🥱

So finished the aircraft, with custom liveries and tweaked airframe. Used in NationStates for my nation/region. Fairly happy with how they turned out.

Some users liked to see "realistic" images, so played around with a few AI models to try depict the aircraft with ... mixed results. ... I need to learn to try my hand at my own local models ...

I'm low-key thinking Ace Combat 9 will relate, or focus heavily on, the merc angle. My logic? AC7 release AC5 - known for its characters, plot and use of wingmen commands: AC8 features all. AC8 features mercs heavily towards the end, and also released with AC0. But, we'll see.

I keep seeing Malfoid more and more these past few days, and a lot of it I've though it just simping for a character. But this artist and their videos has made me really think that it could work as a alt-fic version of the Harry Potter universe. Wonder what @jk_rowling thinks?
Dance lessons with #Malfoid.
