  2. My son and I started playing #FinalFantasy9. Loving all the #airships (only some of which are blowing up!) and it feels like a great refinement of the systems from #FinalFantasy7, which is the one from this era I've played the most.

    Most games I play nowadays fit easily into my "dad" life. They have gameplay loops of about 20-30 minutes and generous saving systems. So far, Final Fantasy IX's checkpoints are 40-60 minutes apart, which make perfect sense for game in isolation but are a little stressful for me; my life is just shaped a little differently than what the game expects.

    Playing this on my modded #PS2, by the way! Ripped my discs and converted them to .vcd, uploaded them with #PSBBN, uploaded to a harddrive embeded in the console. Great that new mod tools are still being made! github.com/CosmicScale/PSBBN-D

  3. "A daytime snowfall in front of airships in sepia", by yours truly. They're not easy to make out in the storm, but once you've seen it, you can't un-see it: imagine flying your plane into a storm only to emerge through a portal into The World of Tomorrow....

  4. Sometimes after an adventure, Zeppelins need to lie down and have a little sleep. Don't disturb them!

    like most of my dragon paintings, this was largely an experiment in wrangling my own anxiety

  7. So, I just caught a bit of a story about #Airships broadcasting signals -- potentially replacing satellites! Personally, I think there's too many satellites to begin with, but airships are so #Steampunk. However, would we want as many airships as there are satellites? Hmmmm...

  8. I lived in Bedfordshire in my young years and the UK version of the Goodyear airship flew out of Cardington, Bedford. Always a joy to see an airship.
    Sadly never got to see "the flying bum".

  10. #Ukraine is using helium #airships fitted with antennae, radio repeaters, and drone detectors. Designed by startup Aerobavovna, these #aerostats can be deployed in minutes and withstand harsh winds. What other applications could this airship technology bring? spectrum.ieee.org/airships-dro...

  11. It's Book Quote Wednesday and the word is MIDDLE. Duelling airships over seventeenth century England, because why not? #bookqw #airships #alternatehistory #englishcivilwar benjeapes.com/index.php/novels

  12. ‘The flying bum’: can a UK firm making huge #airships finally get off the ground? - theguardian.com/business/2025/ "more spacious seats for passengers, while luxury tourists will each have double bedrooms. Freight shipping is even more promising" delightfully bonkers
