I'm pretty sure this was also the final scene of one of the Cube sequel
Let's deal with the serious issues of the day:
"Mysterium Cosmographicum" is a way cooler name for your Ominous Tome of Mind-Bending Knowledge than "Necronomicon"
(Also the illustrations of Kepler's Platonic Solid Solar System are amazing in a "Very precisely drawn but: What the actual what is going on here" M.C. Escher kinda way)

One of the things I love about Monster Hunter is how it joyously embraces The Toast's "Two Monks Invent.." style of design.
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Shoot."
"How many cartridges can you load in a shield? On average, I mean."
"Hmmm.. I'd say 3 cartridges. Maybe 5, but only if your sword is really hot."
"Right, right, that makes sense."
"Happy to help."

Matt Bellamy's shitty fake drumming is magnificent to behold

a reminder of when Muse were on an Italian TV talk show and the producers demanded they mime to a tape rather than perform properly so they pretended to be each other throughout their appearance (including the post-performance interview) and delivered the laziest fake performance they could https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7LT3FtPtbc
Apex Legends/Apelegs/Apex Legumes
Seems.. Fine/Good?
Just um it's a BR
And we don't really like the whole..
> Gametime mostly 20m of foraging
> Game decided by 2s shootout
But for a BR, it seems like a good BR?
Also bring back titans and bring back wallrunning
Basically I'm still salt over Titanfall 3, I probably won't be diving deep into it, but Apex seems like it's set to be the top game for the forseeable if you're into that kinda PlunkNite BR shooter

Quick, The Mods are awake. Now's the time to thank them for their labour in helping maintain a nice enviroment.
I am bemused by the motivations of all the people who reply to Amazon item questions to tell a random stranger that they don't know the answer.
It seems to happen a lot more than I'd expect.. I wonder if there's some Amazon incentivisation scheme for answering questions that explains it.

I'm curious what people's favorite space photos are.
I can't choose individual ones, but the Juno probe got some beautiful pictures of Jupiter. I especially love the poles and detailed photos of the weather patterns.

Someone on Twitter mentioned that in some regions of Germany, a common idiom for whenever there's mist in the forest is "The foxes are making coffee", and thought the image was evocative enough for an illustration.
Well, I took the bait! 🦊☕

Art, sorta preview-y
A heavy strikecraft currently controlled/piloted by a Mind from the "Void Witches" experimental carrier division streaks towards the camera, showcasing their custom hull-art.
These heavy strikecraft are approximately 40m-ish (I've not decided yet!) long, and are exclusively deployed, as with all other strikecraft, in heavily-debris-filled mission zones, hiding around the debris to avoid being instantly atomized by heavy (and very speedy!) terran cannon fire.
