Komiks:
»Komiksowe zapowiedzi na grudzień’25«

Już za kilka dni Mikołajki, a niedługo po nich Święta Bożego Narodzenia. Czyli – poza uświęconym czasem dla osób obdarzonych łaską wiary – pora prezentów, jedzeniowego rozpasania oraz kilku dni odpoczynku od codziennych obowiązków (dojdą za to inne, te niecodzienne). Poza tym dobiega końca rok 2025. Niedługo rozpocznie się kalendarzowa zima. Podsumowując – jest to dobry, jeśli nie najlepszy moment, by obdarzyć kogoś (albo po prostu samego siebie) przynajmniej jednym komiksem. To na pewno będzie miły prezent.

"... pop goes the greasel!"

"What's a greasel?"

"That's it! Go to your room, youngling, and don't come back until you've played all of Deus Ex."

"All of it?"

"All of it."

[2 hours later...]

"I'm done. I've played all of it."

"Really? That was fast."

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships..."

"Wait! That's the soliloquy! You've watched Blade Runner. Did you actually play Deus Ex?"

"Yes."

"So, what's a greasel."

"Er..."

"Go back into your room and don't come back until you've played Deus Ex."

BLADE RUNNER - Ridley Scott (1982) ★★★★★

Gothic futuristic with a fascinating atmosphere, an anthological, contemplative, allegorical, timeless masterpiece... The eye of “Descartes” looks at you and leads you into the doubt of Cogito ergo sum.

BLADE RUNNER - Ridley Scott (1982) ★★★★★
Gothicofuturiste à l'ambiance fascinante, "Blade Runner" demeure anthologique, contemplatif, allégorique, éternel... L’œil de "Descartes" vous regarde et vous mène dans le doute du Cogito ergo sum. Un must see.

What happens when a synth-pop legend accidentally invents his own Blade Runner 3 soundtrack? says Songs of Silence was never supposed to be an album — just “sound experiments for my own sanity.”

Why does his cat hate his acoustic guitar?
Why does ambient feel so human?
Why does never get old?

Some in-universe lore about "Blade Runner" is that the movie "Soldier" has references to both Tannhauser Gate and the Shoulder of Orion, along with a broken down Spinner on "Arcadia 234" where Todd has been marooned.

A ship which resembles the Sulaco can been seen in "Blade Runner 2049" also.

On this day 43 years ago in 1982, "Blade Runner" premiered.

With the neon lights, constant rain, and futuristic cityscapes forever draped in darkness, no other film has the style or cassette futurism ambiance of Blade Runner.

@mcc Just finished reading your post that (I think?) you (or someone else) linked a few days ago:

https://web.archive.org/web/20250112150526/https://cohost.org/mcc/post/178201-the-baseline-scene

>The point of the baseline test is not to fail inhumans. The culture has already decided that K is subhuman. The baseline is testing to see if someone marked as inhuman is becoming human.

Outstanding analysis :D It gave me a new appreciation for Blade Runner 2049 that I didn't have before.

Blade Runner police Spinner.

Scratchbuilt at Matchbox/Hotwheels scale (1:64) with plasticard and epoxy putty with a few other plastic bits.

Cotton wool hides the supports and calls back to a scene in the film.

More angles of the Police Spinner model.

The various lights about the vehicle were made from clear plastic pieces and tinted with clear (or dilute) paint.

The rooftop light fixture involved ~19 pieces iirc.

The windows were painted using the "black gem" method, and I chose red to contrast with the blue and yellow.

Final shots of the police Spinner scale model.

The underside is as detailed as the top of the model with thrusters, lights and even windows.
