Written by Michael and Denise Okuda, โ€œLost Voyages: Phase II and the Rebirth of Star Trekโ€ is a great documentary about Trek projects (show, movies) abandoned in the second half of the 1970s, which led to The Motion Picture. With fascinating interviews, and some cool ships.

Warmly recommended! ๐Ÿ––

DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. 
The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOriginโ€™s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. 
While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material.

Get more from HeroFix on Patreon Solo & Co-Op Variant Rules for HeroClix

Maybe my most niche post, but sometimes you make a thing for no other reason than the making of the thing

In my case, I wanted to try and rework a purely PvP board game (heroclix) into a solo and co-op variant

Then I wrote a campaign for it

Anyhow, this exists now

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

I dropped a poster tube in the #sdcc exhibit hall trying to get a signature. The poster inside has 2 dozen autographs collected at events in multiple states and countries. The tube has a name and address on it, itโ€™s easy to id; but Iโ€™m devastated, I feel like such an idiot. #sdcclostandfound

'Baman Piderman' Returns To Creators' YouTube After 10 Years After a 10 year distribution nightmare, internet cult favorite 'Baman Piderman' returns to its owner's channel on Aug. 1 with new episodes planned.

After a decade in distribution limbo, 'Baman Piderman' is finally coming home. Its creators have reclaimed the rights and will produce four to five new episodes to complete the story they began in the pre-YouTube, Newgrounds era of internet animation.

โ€œDo you believe in fate?โ€ asks Senjuro, The Black Demon, to all those who cross his path. Victim or guide. 

A masterless, mixed-race samurai, Senjuro skulks through the shadows of an evolving feudal Japan, seeking to serve...but the age of the Samurai flickers on the winds of modernization, and any work to be had is less than honorable. That is until Claire, a wealthy British explorer and anthropologist, swings through the tavern doors seeking aid from the man whose reputation precedes him; the one they call The Black Demon. Her family has just been monstrously slain and exsanguinated, and signs point to perpetrators beyond human. Along with Claire and her Sikh companion Jangveer, Senjuro the Black Demon must face hell on earth to deliver their reckoning, and in the process, find the honor he so desperately seeks. 

From the singular mind of Ibrahim Moustafa, who turned time inside out in RETROACTIVE, reimagined The Count of Monte Cristo as a sci-fi epic in COUNT, and put the Western back in Space Western with CYN, comes a thriller that combines worlds have been  long-destined to meet, but will collide for the first time within these pages.

Accompanied by an image of our samurai, Claire, and Jangveer in Sikh armor standing at a portcullis with fang-like spikes, dripping with blood.
