FUN FACT: You could pack 5.6 million Twinkies into Starship's 1,000 m³ payload bay. Sweet, right? But there's a catch: they'd weigh over 213 tonnes—Starship lifts about 150. So, you'd break the rocket with snack cakes long before filling it. Still, that's roughly 1% of global annual Twinkie production in one go.

One Starship launch replacing 1-2 months of Falcon 9 missions?! That's the kind of scale-up that makes interplanetary Starlink and Mars dreams feel actually real. Buckle up, this next flight is HUGE 🚀🔥
Did you know that the (barely functional) SpaceX Starship is now 10 years old?
"Ten years ago, Elon Musk stood on stage at the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Guadalajara, Mexico, and unveiled plans for a giant spaceship to carry people to Mars."

A Starship survived an OCEAN LANDING and just made it back home to Starbase after months at sea! 🚀🌊 This is huge for reusability data — can't wait to see what SpaceX learns from this epic recovery mission!
Last corvette for a while, probably. This one's a bit of crossover content too, with a different kind of Traveller!
In the Traveller TTRPG, one of the most well-known designs(and the one the majority of groups operate out of at some point) is the classic Type A(or Beowulf class?) Free Trader. When I first heard of corvettes on their release, my first thought was we were basically making ships on the same scale as that and the 100T Scout ship. Now that I'd cut my teeth a bit on those other designs, I thought I'd finally take a whack at building one in No Man's Sky!
Also to note: this was all done with stock building. No Blender, mods, or glitches.

My next corvette was inspired by the Aeron parts from the corvette expedition last year. I wanted to use them to do something Atlas-themed, and since it seemed like my corvette designer alt should have one of their own, I came up with this!
For lack of a better name, I called it the Night Raider.
🚀 Le Ship 40 qui avait été récupéré dans l'océan Indien puis est revenu au Texas par bateau, a été remis vertical à Starbase. Selon SpaceX 📷, "il fournira des données inédites sur le bouclier thermique d’un Starship ayant volé, les moteurs Raptor, l’avionique, et plus encore."

LAST ONE PICKED HC / TP
SOLICIT COPY:
Will Annabeth learn to enjoy volleyball, or will she be left at the mercy of a sport she never wanted to play? Find out in Last One Picked, a charming, heartwarming middle grade graphic novel from creator Audrey Meeker.
Annabeth has the perfect plan for the summer after eighth grade: volunteering at her local library and lounging at home re-reading her favorite books ever, the Warrior Princess series. But when her mom decides to sign her up for volleyball camp – worse, the same volleyball camp her ex-best friend Serena is going to – those plans go out the window. Annabeth is immediately out of her depth, with no experience, no friends, and no kneepads, and the volleyball girls are all tall, athletic, and extroverted . . . unlike her. Then Serena shows up at the library as a new volunteer, and everything goes from bad to worse.
But it turns out that maybe volleyball isn’t the worst thing ever, and Annabeth slowly starts to gain confidence and the support of her teammates, while Serena’s bad attitude begins to override her skill on the court. As tryouts approach, the girls make a deal: Annabeth will intentionally fail during tryouts so Serena can have her spot on the team, and in exchange, Serena will let her take her job as a volunteer for the library’s upcoming Warrior Princess author event. It seems like a win-win scenario . . . but suddenly giving up the chance at playing volleyball doesn’t sound as great as Annabeth thought it might.
LEONIDE THE VAMPYR HC
SOLICIT COPY:
Townspeople are bewitched by the charming young Leonide, but her outward innocence masks a sinister secret—and her even more sinister plans for them.
This young girl seems innocent, but she may just be a devil in disguise.
When young Leonide washes ashore in a small coastal European town, the locals are too concerned for her welfare to be bothered by the coffin she washed up in. Only the town bishop sees through her façade, and once she is in—there’s no kicking her out. Then, a winter holiday becomes even more chilling when ghosts of Leonide’s past come to celebrate with her. Finally, things come to a head when a young professor travels to Leonide’s family home to uncover her tragic and horrifying history, and may become wrapped up in it himself.
In hardcover for the first time, this volume from Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and Melvina creator Rachele Aragno collects Leonide the Vampyr: Miracle at the Crow’s Head one-shot, Leonide the Vampyr: A Christmas for Crows one-shot, Leonide the Vampyr: The House of Yonda #1–#2, and bonus sketchbook material.

RAMPANT SWINE # 1
SOLICIT COPY:
This never happened, yet it’s all true. In a Britain forged in blood, mud, magic, and monsters, the legendary King Arthur is a brutal warlord surrounded by his knights who are every bit as savage, strange, and legendary as the world they inhabit. When the young knight Culhwch arrives at Arthur’s fortress pleading for help in completing 39 impossible tasks assigned him by the giant Ysbaddaden to win the hand of his beautiful daughter Olwen, he and Arthur’s warriors embark on an incredible quest of giant slaying, monstrous boar hunting, and magical treasure theft, as they battle their way through a dying age of myth. But beneath the bloodshed and barbarism, something isn’t right. Because every great legend has a story beneath the story — and King Arthur was never meant to be this kind of hero.
From Si Spurrier (Minotaur, The Flash) and Christopher Mitten (Hellboy, The Autumn Kingdom), comes a savage and subversive reimagining of an Arthurian legend — a brutal five-issue fantasy epic in the tradition of Conan the Barbarian, where the heroes are dangerous, the monsters are real, and the age of wonder is coming to an end.
TERRARIUM IN A DRAWER TP
SOLICIT COPY:
Welcome to a wonderland of laughter, tears, surprise, and empathy. From Ryoko Kui, author of Delicious in Dungeon, comes an award-winning kaleidoscope of thirty-three short, shining tales of comedy, fantasy, sci-fi, and more!
WHERE MONSTERS LIE Omnibus TP
SOLICIT COPY:
This special omnibus edition collects volumes 1 and 2 of the hit meta-horror comedy comics series, as well as the final chapter from the wildly successful Kickstarter.
Written by Eisner-nominated writer Kyle Starks (Lobo, Barfly) with artwork by Bloodborne’s Piotr Kowalski, about a group of monsters who reside at a gated community in the middle of nowhere where they relax — or try to — when they are not out killing.
Haven’t you always wondered what slasher monsters — the masked home invasion family, the mindless unkillable monster, the serial killer trapped in a doll — what they do for those couple of years in-between their murder sprees? They’re at Wilmhurst — a gated community in the middle of nowhere where they relax — or try to — until they get the call to go out and kill again.
Connor Hayes survived his first slasher in summer camp. A handful of years later he barely escaped a psychopath who built torture puzzles for his victims. Since then, he’s been training and planning for running into these creatures again. He’s a respected special agent. And now he knows where the monsters lie and he’s planning for war.
Collects Where Monsters Lie volume 1 and 2 as well as the final chapter from the wildly successful Kickstarter.

RetroSpace review: Disco Punk Horror at its finest.
Developer: The Wild Gentlemen
Publisher: Kwalee
Platform reviewed for PC
Platforms available on, Xbox Series Consoles, PS5, Steam Deck, Asus Rog consoles
Code purchased on steam.
RetroSpace is the name game from The Wild Gentlemen who released Chicken police into the Hive, Moses & Plato Last Train to Clawville and the upcoming game titled, Wild Tactics (which is on my Wishlist.)
You play as a janitor who is now the last hope for all of humanity! The space station Aurora 5 has been swallowed by a sentient black hole mutating the inhabitants and messing with time.
I will not go onto the story too much as I do not want to ruin it for you.
The story is told through NPCs that you gather through the game that open upgrade options to your weapons, scanner and mutamod abilities. There are 5 NPCS for you to find and save and bring back to your base the janitors haven and all the audio logs that are littered around the station so it’s well worth exploring every biome to get the full story.
Sounds very similar to System Shock doesn’t it. Well, it is but you will also see influence from Half-Life, and they do make it their own.
Combat in the game is fun and intuitive you will need to study your enemies to find their weakness and exploit it by switching to the appropriate weapon or by using the surroundings to your advantage for example you see an electric box and you have a bottle of water you can spray the water on the group fun away when you get the attention of an enemy and shoot the box and electrocute them. Or use a laser beam on oil to incinerate the mutants.
You can hack computers once you find a hack mod and switch the security gun turrets to recognise you as master this is a big help when playing the game so you can conserve ammunition.
Weapon wise you have a decent array, and you cannot buy these you have to explore the map to survive. The gun play feels great as does the mele and they did a great job of not over complicating any of those mechanics.
As mentioned earlier time plays apart but as in you have a time limit but the sentient black hole will move you forward and backwards in time, and this really does change the aesthetic of the game, when you are wondering around one time line the space station looks in good condition and less of a horror a more clean aesthetic is what I a was trying to say but when the time jump happens again that same space station is now a dark damp rotting station which lends to the horror aspect of the game. Different areas of the station open and close when you are jumping back and forward in time.
The enemies you will encounter are human flies, Giant pigs, spider like creatures Robots and androids, and plant-based enemies which remind me of stranger things and some little plant-based beasts as well.
You can use a train (Half-Life) to get to different biomes all with their own distinct aesthetic for example the botanical gardens switches from something that poison ivy would be proud of too Swamp Thing when you visit it again another timeline. The other biomes are the Police station, luxury suites, control room, Crew quarters these are found in the grand central station area, you also have the nexus hub area, where you can engineer, security and medical areas to explore.
Which you should make sure you pay attention to everything when you explore there are plenty of easter eggs one for example is a Starship Troopers easter egg, I won’t say what it is as I want you to find it for yourselves and you will find codes for the computers on walls in locks or right in front of you on a desk.
I didn’t experience any frame rate drops on my PC everything moved along very smoothly.
Graphically I love the 70s style colour palette and the nods to Fallout with the aesthetic from time to time before it all goes to hell.
Now a con for this game is the map, the map for me is basically pointless there are no map markers and you cannot place any however this is only a minor con for me as the developer has addressed comments on X and steam and they are working on stuff for the map when another patch comes out.
RetroSpace was released a few days before Gears of war E-Day, I did start to play E-Day but I found myself putting that game down and coming straight back to RetroSpace not because E-Day is bad as that’s not the case but it’s a testament to The Wild Gentlemen RetroSpace had me hooked and it was all I wanted to play.
Overall, I had a great time with this game, and I really hope The Wild Gentlemen continue the story. This is one of my favourite games released this year and there has been a lot of excellent games released, the fact that RetroSpace doesn’t try to be complex it wants you to pick it up and play it and be able to put it down and come back to it and you won’t need to relearn complicated mechanics.
RetroSpace is a FUN game and that’s exactly what I want from my games fun.
RetroSpace is a 9 out of 10 for me and potentially one of my games of the year.
