  1. The inventory battlestation is ready! We've repurposed a donated computer from our neighborhood and some screens from a local coder.

  2. I recently got a joystick, and booted up #StarWars #TieFighter.

    That has got one of the best openings to a #game ever. That musical subversion right at the very start makes me almost laugh every time.

  3. Star Wars: TIE Fighter (1994)
    Konečně dorazil můj onboarding balíček pro novou práci. Prý skvělé benefity, služební vozidlo a možnost potlačit rebelskou spodinu. A to vše jen proto, abyste mohli loajálně sloužit Impériu!

  4. Todays throwback is getting TIE Fighter no. 2 that flys above our dinner table!

  5. Das deutschsprachige Handbuch der "Defender of the Empire" Erweiterung von TIE Fighter wurde inzwischen gefunden und gescannt. Ich hab's hier für euch hochgeladen:

    Viel Spaß! 😃

  6. Das hatte in meiner Retro-Sammlung noch gefehlt: Hab heute die beiden Disketten der deutschen "Defender of the Empire" Erweiterung für das Star Wars Spiel "TIE Fighter" bekommen. Was mir jetzt leider noch nicht zugeflogen ist, ist das entsprechende Handbuch dazu. Das vermisse ich bisher leider sogar in den großen Online-Sammlungen. Vermutlich selten. Mehhh.... muss ich finden. 😟

  8. When I read this emailed article title in my head a few minutes ago, I thought of T.I.E. fighters a split-second before Thai fighters. 🇹🇭🥊😄

  9. Decades ago, I was telling someone jokes over AOL Instant Messenger and she kept sending "lol" and I was like, "She must like Star Wars, she keeps sending these little tie-fighters to me..."

    Mistigram: @Codefenix drew this #ANSIart #TIEFighter as part of a celebration of today’s obligatory nerdy observance. For the full treatment in a galaxy far, far away, visit Constructive Chaos BBS or stay tuned for the upcoming SF-themed MIST0525 artpack collection. #MayThe4thBeWithYou always!

  11. Updated simpit.dev/ - home of the #Space #PewPew #SimPit inspired by a #VF1 Valkyrie cockpit (#Macross)

    That's a glorified #DIY joystick controller with an LCD ('MFD') and plenty of #RGB for my #Linux PC

    Newest additions are my #XR sheniagans (and some notes on #Breezy and the usage of #IMU data as #headtracker), the games #AceCombat and #XWVM (#XWing / #TIEFighter) and a bunch of videos were updated.

    Best viewed WITH an ad-blocker and patience (slow af).

  12. Livestream recording: Space – Pew Pew – Playing X-Wing with XWVM Alpha again in my Macross SimPit

    Played #XWVM (closed) Alpha with my #Macross inspired #SimPit. I’m simply in awe that I can replay missions from #XWing (or #TIEFighter) with more modern graphics and modern interface devices again. I spent _so many_ hours playing these #StarWars games as a kid.

    This is the heavily cut VOD of the live stream over at @[email protected] (pick your poison):

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T2jxqT_5sU

    This time I play with the native Linux version and my X52 Pro joystick (which means I actually have a chance of hitting stuff too). The following missions were played:

    Historical Mission 2 / Wingmen Are Important
    Historical Mission 3 / Sattelites Near Coruscant
    Historical Mission 4 / Beating The Odds
    OP 1: Destroy Imperial Convoy (Uncut)
    OP 2: Reconnaissance Mission (Uncut)
    OP 3: Fly Point During Evacuation (Uncut)
    OP 4: Protect Medical Frigate (Uncut)

    XWVM is not an official product from Lucasfilm Ltd. or Disney. It is not endorsed or authorized by either. It is a fan recreation of the game engine used to play X-Wing and TIE Fighter for the sake of accessibility and requires the original game assets to work.

    Kudos to the XWVM team, they are doing a stellar job here.

  14. Star Wars: X-Wing Collectors Series with XWVM alpha

    Played #XWVM (closed) Alpha with my ViperPit and with #XR glasses. I’m simply in awe that I can replay missions from #XWing (or #TIEFighter) with more modern graphics and modern interface devices again. I spent _so many_ hours playing this as a kid.

    I go over the input settings and show it’s capabilities to connected various joystick devices, demo the Proofing Grounds and showcase mission 1+2. In the end I go over various settings for the XWVM engine and how the machine hardly sweats displaying the gorgeous cockpit.

    The game was played with #Viture Pro XR running in Side-By-Side mode thanks to ReShade on a Linux PC.

    Kudos to the XWVM team, they are doing a stellar job here.

  15. The TIE Striker is one of the better new Star Wars spaceships. I like how it fits with the earlier designs, the original TIE, the Bomber and the Interceptor.

    Also, from certain angles this thing looks like an angry wasp.

    There are often stories to my photographs, too long to write here. The story to this one can be found here, on the Flickr post: flickr.com/photos/avanaut/3353

  20. In my photographs the spaceship models are usually shown from some distance. The illusion of realism in closeups doesn't work that well when paired with real life backgrounds.

    Closeups alone however, are kinda neat. I think.
