Cover artwork for Ork by the late British artist Richard Clifton-Dey. Psygnosis released Ork in 1991 for the Amiga and Atari ST.

The artwork, entitled Behemoth's World, was flipped and zoomed in a bit when it was originally used a decade earlier for Blue Öyster Cult's 7th album Cultösaurus Erectus.

The “Furor” (KONSTANT) class DDGN demonstrates the Soviet VDF’s changing priorities now in 1985. A strong fleet escort yet having the endurance for deep independent patrols it seems likely to replace the aging “Parser” (STRAZH) class of frigates.

Note how she states that it was more difficult to get permits to do this shit than actually coordinate the drones.

Companies will want to do more of this, but environmental/wildlife laws make it difficult. So, they'll lobby to weaken them. Be vigilant. This woman accidentally said the quiet part loud. They won't let that happen again - this is our only warning

Also tire iron is effective

A tire iron is ineffective.

Look, if someone was very irresponsible they'd look up drone parts and buy a set of 2.4GHz and 5GHz directional antennas (yagi or, not patch) and then get a set of 2.4GHz and 5Ghz noise generators (illigal almost everywhere) or look up how to make them (weirdly easy to do apparently) and then they would wait for the display to start and turn on their contraption with the antennas point towards the display. Because the drones would be communicated to from the main computer on either 2.4GHz or 5Ghz, a contraption like this would cause anything from a section, to all, of the drones losing communication and automatically landing. The fact that they waited until the display was in progress means that all that set up time would have been waisted so the rest of the show can't go ahead and they'll have to spend a few days checking everyone over.

Don't do this. it's very illigal to make a jamming device. Even though you'd be using a long range antenna so youd be safely far away and almost totally undetectable even to people beside you, especially if you hid it in a bag or small box. It's very illigal. Don't.

Here they are, my dumb little attempt at Eridian fauna, specifically something that has become widespread as a pet. All because I wanted to work @glasseyeartspy's and my cat into our Eridian-sona verse.

They are called (by Grace) bat-crabs. Because they resemble crabs but hang from things like a bat. They're small ambush predators that at some point in the past, Eridians kept around for pest control and it evolved into companionship, and they're most comparable to cats.

Bat-crabs have a giant olfactory orifice and use it to their advantage when hunting, or seeking out others of their own species, or any other reason something might be able to smell. Smell/taste isn't common in Eridian fauna, but bat-crabs have it.

Unlike Eridians, bat-crabs have somewhat mobile "mouth parts" and grind them when content, like how parrots grind their bills. It sounds awful to humans, but Eridians find it soothing and adorable.

The color variability is purely by chance, as Eridians can't see color. There was accidental breeding of certain colors into the "fancy" breeds (they were just going for varying shapes and sizes), and they had no idea until someone with eyes looked at them.

(featuring my Eridiansona Zenith and their bat-crab, which their partner Oxford stumbled upon as a baby and raised. it's a disaster child.)

And just in case, this is me giving my full permission to anyone to do their own spin on a bat-crab for whatever reason. (ദ്ദി ᐛ )

Stupendemys geographicus

The largest species of freshwater turtles to be discovered. It had a carapace length of 2m and an estimated weight of half a ton. The horns on the shell have been hypothesized to be used in ritualistic shoving matches in similar fashion to modern tortoises.In 2021, a skull was found and it reveals that Stupendemys was a generalist feeder.

This turtle shared its environement with several large crocodilians such as Purussaurus, Mourasuchus, and Gryposuchus. Coexisting with these predators may have put pressure on the turtles to grow larger.
