With Dedede constantly trusting Meta Knight with dark artifacts, and Meta Knight constantly backing up Dedede's stupid ideas, I can now only imagine the Revenge of Meta Knight being a hilarious overescalation of Dedede's naptime or something like that. "King I swear if you don't wake up I WILL fly the Halberd over."

Fufufu... I toyed around with the escalation + trust idea, albeit with a slightly different reason - because I've always wanted to do something with their potential closeness.

(3 pages)

...And thus did King Dedede go back to bed and quietly try to pretend that Meta Knight's Revenge never happened.

Had a dream the other night where some Warrior Cats fans on here thought that the new graphic novels were gonna rewrite the first arc so that Silverstream’s death would be cut. I believe she would give birth to Feather + Storm in the Riverclan camp, and Graystripe would go live with them in Riverclan at the end of Forest of secrets. This would then, somehow, lead up to Sliverstream becoming Silverstar at the end of the arc.

So a few days later in the dream some other people (understandably) went “where tf did you guys get Silverstar from??” I can’t remember fully what the reasoning given was, but I believe at least a few people said it was due to the popularity of her buff design the gn gave Silver. I think there were some other reasons given but again I can’t remember them.

From there the dream went to speculation/theorising on how Silverstar would impact the rest of the series. It was agreed that Greystripe would stay in Riverclan permanently. I also guess Millie ceased to exist, because the Blossom/Bumble/Briar litter was changed to be SilverGrey kits, obviously growing up in Riverclan. Unfortunately, after that I woke up so did not get any more Silverstar lore. It was a very peculiar dream, considering I don’t think about Silverstream that much. Very strange, but not the strangest dream i’ve had.

Lunar Lander Beyond announced for PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC

Gematsu Source

Publisher Atari and Cris Tales developer Dreams Uncorporated have announced Lunar Lander Beyond, a new game based on the 1979 arcade classic Lunar Lander. It will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store in the first half of 2024.

Here is an overview of the game, via Atari:

About

As a newly appointed captain of the Pegasus corporation, you must guide a roster of colorful pilots, eclectic advisors and state-of-the-art landers through a taxing series of missions. Deliver cargo, retrieve resources, and rescue stranded pilots as you navigate a mysterious universe of moons and planets.

It’s a thankless job, replete with tension and danger, and it takes a psychological toll on your crew. But someone has to keep this unseen lifeblood of the interplanetary economy moving.

When a mysterious portal appears, leading to a strange, unexplored planet, you will find you are on a collision course with some sinister truths that lie unseen behind the universe. Poor flying and fatigue will stress your pilots, and can lead to sensory illusions… the bane of long-haul solo pilots. They may start to see things that may not be real—is that a mine or a fish? And what’s with those celestial pink elephants?!

With multiple pilots, four ships and a dozen upgrades to collect, you can get the job done if you can manage it all… if not, the stakes are high, and not just for your career.

Key Features

Beautiful Art – A luxurious sci-fi landscape in Dreams Uncorporated’s unique, hand-drawn style.

Deep Campaign – Tackle 30 missions across five moons and planets: Nueva Luna, Mars, Venus, Ganymede, and the mysterious Etimus.

Difficulty Settings – Four difficulty levels, with the highest one, insane, raising the stakes with permadeath.

Customization – Countless pilot options, with procedurally generated characters and attributes, four unique ships, and a dozen upgrades to equip.

Don’t Go Mad – Keep your wits about you—rising stress will lead to hallucinations and space madness!

Pinned post!!

Dni if you support things like homophobia, racism, sexism, literally any false sexuality likes maps, and hatred to religions!

About the creator

Hi im mak! I go by she/they. I made this blog for my punchout hyper fixation that i suddenly got.

Should just get this out of the way, i have autism, and while it's pretty low it still effects things that i do, such as over explaining or random mistakes such as obvious spelling. Context clues are also hard for me to understand sometimes. However that shouldn't be an excuse, if i do something wrong hold me accountable so I can improve on myself.

I am also not religious, please don't push religion on me i choose to believe in my own ideas.

Criticism is accepted!

Commissions!

Wanna donate or just get a cheap drawing? Commissions are here!

Official link to form

That is all thanks for ready

*fun facts!!

Manatee's name is to reference our loveable underwater friends the manatees!

Zoid is actually also a total drama oc! I just couldn't think of a more unique Canadian boxer.

Caff was definitely inspired by alot of stuff, mainly the idea of how much caffeine soda actually drinks.

Ravens name is actually a hidden reference to her old boxer name, i figured turkey's valture is more fitting then a edgy name like the dark raven or something.

Student Experiments Soar!

Have you ever wondered what it takes to get a technology ready for space? The NASA TechRise Student Challenge gives middle and high school students a chance to do just that – team up with their classmates to design an original science or technology project and bring that idea to life as a payload on a suborbital vehicle.

Since March 2021, with the help of teachers and technical advisors, students across the country have dreamed up experiments with the potential to impact space exploration and collect data about our planet.

So far, more than 180 TechRise experiments have flown on suborbital vehicles that expose them to the conditions of space. Flight testing is a big step along the path of space technology development and scientific discovery.

The 2023-2024 TechRise Challenge flight tests took place this summer, with 60 student teams selected to fly their experiments on one of two commercial suborbital flight platforms: a high-altitude balloon operated by World View, or the Xodiac rocket-powered lander operated by Astrobotic. Xodiac flew over the company’s Lunar Surface Proving Ground — a test field designed to simulate the Moon’s surface — in Mojave, California, while World View’s high-altitude balloon launched out of Page, Arizona.

Here are four innovative TechRise experiments built by students and tested aboard NASA-supported flights this summer:

1. Oobleck Reaches the Skies

Oobleck, which gets its name from Dr. Seuss, is a mixture of cornstarch and water that behaves as both a liquid and a solid. Inspired by in-class science experiments, high school students at Colegio Otoqui in Bayomón, Puerto Rico, tested how Oobleck’s properties at 80,000 feet aboard a high-altitude balloon are different from those on Earth’s surface. Using sensors and the organic elements to create Oobleck, students aimed to collect data on the fluid under different conditions to determine if it could be used as a system for impact absorption.

2. Terrestrial Magnetic Field

Middle school students at Phillips Academy International Baccalaureate School in Birmingham, Alabama, tested the Earth’s magnetic field strength during the ascent, float, and descent of the high-altitude balloon. The team hypothesized the magnetic field strength decreases as the distance from Earth’s surface increases.

3. Rocket Lander Flame Experiment

To understand the impact of dust, rocks, and other materials kicked up by a rocket plume when landing on the Moon, middle school students at Cliff Valley School in Atlanta, Georgia, tested the vibrations of the Xodiac rocket-powered lander using CO2 and vibration sensors. The team also used infrared (thermal) and visual light cameras to attempt to detect the hazards produced by the rocket plume on the simulated lunar surface, which is important to ensure a safe landing.

4. Rocket Navigation

Middle and high school students at Tiospaye Topa School in LaPlant, South Dakota, developed an experiment to track motion data with the help of a GPS tracker and magnetic radar. Using data from the rocket-powered lander flight, the team will create a map of the flight path as well as the magnetic field of the terrain. The students plan to use their map to explore developing their own rocket navigation system.

The 2024-2025 TechRise Challenge is now accepting proposals for technology and science to be tested on a high-altitude balloon! Not only does TechRise offer hands-on experience in a live testing scenario, but it also provides an opportunity to learn about teamwork, project management, and other real-world skills.

“The TechRise Challenge was a truly remarkable journey for our team,” said Roshni Ismail, the team lead and educator at Cliff Valley School. “Watching them transform through the discovery of new skills, problem-solving together while being driven by the chance of flying their creation on a [rocket-powered lander] with NASA has been exhilarating. They challenged themselves to learn through trial and error and worked long hours to overcome every obstacle. We are very grateful for this opportunity.”

Are you ready to bring your experiment design to the launchpad? If you are a sixth to 12th grade student, you can make a team under the guidance of an educator and submit your experiment ideas by November 1. Get ready to create!

"Whoever said 'the road to hell is paved with good intentions' left a lot of stuff out..."

[Name:] Noir Fontaine "...It's pronounced 'fawn-tan'"

[Reference Image:]

[[Tournament Asks Masterpost]]

[Notes on Personality:]

"My pronouns are he/some-kind -of-planet-invading hellspawn, I guess."

A kindhearted teen beneath the surface, growing up amidst humanity's depressive twilight hours on a hostile, frozen wasteland, plus a lifetime of tragedies no one his age should have to bear, has hardened Noir into a sarcastic, sassy little edgelord with a bitter tongue that's as sharp as his cursed sword, both of which he'll turn on anything he finds threatening with little provocation.

Noir's oodles and caboodles of twitchy paranoia combined with him having the approachability of a flea-ridden alley cat, makes breaking the thick ice to touch the heart of the scarred boy hiding beneath a task for only the most patient (or masochistic) of souls.

...And even then, he'll still sass you.

Likes: storytelling, games, the night sky, his siblings Dislikes: violence, crowds, touch, food, opening up

[Backstory and Lore:]

"...My life had way more talking plushies playing key roles than I'd have guessed."

Son of <L.D. Violet Level Access Only> and <L.D. Violet Level Access Only> Noir is a normal (?) human (?) teen from Shiver Star and Adeleine's older brother.

After the early death of his parents under very suspicious circumstances, Noir took over as sole guardian of his little sister, giving up the little-to-nothing he had to keep her safe and happy, including his own happiness, his health, and very nearly his sanity.

His preternaturally bad luck took a turn for the absolutely devastating when–while searching for a cheer-up gift for his little sister amongst some suspicious New World relics–he just so happened to acquire a psychic blade forged of Dark Matter.

As if it knew exactly who he was and exactly who he could go on to be, the Blade attached itself to him in a rather physical (:cough: and un-removable :cough:) manner and began slowly but surely corrupting him, body, mind, and soul.

Yet, he was able to use its destructive gifts to quietly rescue his sister Adeleine from Shiver Star's apocalyptic, dead-end environs and send her off into the endless possibilities waiting in the sea of stars, guaranteeing she, at least, would have a future.

The corruption devours him soon after.

In a 'verse close to that of the canon games, Noir loses his human body upon death along with (most) of his memories, and his captive soul is reforged by Zero as the eldritch entity's elite vanguard, a position which caused King Dedede to dub him "Blade."

In this form, the emotionless(?) Dark Matter drone would go on to adopt Gooey (in place of the sister he could not fully remember) and lead the invasion of Popstar for the collective, unaware it was the very planet Adeleine escaped to. She would not discover the one-eyed shadow monster was her brother till much, much later...

Noir dies a second time, in a duel against Popstar's hero, Kirby of the Stars, having remembered his human life too late to do anything about it. Noir would die for a third time after a disappointed Zero resurrects, tortures, and brainwashes him in order to force his participation in the second, penultimate invasion of Popstar.

Tragically, even after banishing Dark Matter from Popstar and destroying Zero, Noir's soul remains trapped in darkness.

...He would've liked to see his little sister and brother again...

In another 'verse, he and Adeleine swap fates and... :cough:

Favorite Dream Landers: Adeleine, Gooey, King Dedede, Kirby

[Notes on Potential (???) Interactions:]

If your OC has ANY ability to sense Dark Matter, is or ever was Dark Matter, or has a grudge against Dark Matter, Noir should set them off like a particularly obnoxious car alarm. He radiates Dark Matter energy, even when he's not doing anything.

If your OC is small, cute, and harmless (ie: reminds him of Adeleine or Gooey in any way) you may earn some begrudging care from the boy. He's got a terminal case of big-brother syndrome, after all.

If your OC has been through the horrors (and specifically NOT come out a better, healthier person for it) he will probably sympathize.

Address him as "Swordsman" and watch him twitch! It's fun!

[Etc:]

For this event, Noir is visually in his "last days as a living human" form, ie: purple-black patches of corrupted flesh and veins and monster hands beneath his gloves.

He's below average height and weight for his age, but being an Earth-human like Adeleine (and taller than her) generally winds up taller than most average Dream Land-type residents

As far as physical appearance goes, Noir is still 16 (the age he died at) but he spent a sizable period of time as Dark Matter and his true mental/emotional age is difficult to calculate.

Outside of the powers he picked up from the sword (teleportation, darkness control, memory-based matter re-creation, etc) Noir, owing to his heritage, has some mild powers all of his own (pre-cognition, cross-dimensional sight, etc) though he is untrained in the use of them and remains unaware they are "powers" at all.

Well, I have done it. I have thrown my son to the Shark-Dees! XD Shall we see how The Boy Who Always Dies does at the @kirbyoctournament ?

[injuries-in-dust]

Had a wild dream about watching a new netflix show.

It was a sci fi mockumentary, following a group of future historians? Archaeologists? I'm not sure.

But their job was to use time travel to rescue famous ships before they were "destroyed" when history records that destruction.

They had a full lunar lander from apollo 11

Some sci fi ship that was the first vessel to carry humans from thw solar system.

"And this is our pride and joy."

And the camera dramatically did multi-angle slow sweeps over over a fully restored and whole Titanic.

I was so moved I woke up.

And now I'm annoyed I can't actually get to watch that show.
