After months and months of lazing around, I finally got to move my a** off and added Spirit Tracks in my version of Linked Universe AU lol
Unfortunately, the story that I made for him focused more on Wind. In fact, Engineer’s inclusion is a very last minute thing. So, I didn’t delve into his character too deep. You can read it here, btw: Ao3|Fanfic.net
(Also, designing his clothes makes me realize Beat’s outfit is kinda…bare. Somehow. Maybe I’ll redesign him one day. You know, give his tunic at least a split on each sides of it, like the usual Links clothes in Linked Universe. Cadence’s outfit in her original game looked like that too, so I’m not veering too far from ‘canon’ `3`)
Anyway, Engineer characteristics are:
* Stoic. Snarky. Lazy.
* Very low in stamina. In my story, wielding a Lokomo Sword sapped his energy bit by bit, even when he doesn’t use it. That’s why he sleep most of the time #ForeverTired
* Fighting style. He’s mostly trying to dodge and redirect the enemies’ attacks back at them (using their momentum). It conserved his energy, more so than blocking or swinging his weapon using his own strength
* He’s Wind’s successor. But he’s older than him. I mean…the guy have a job, so he’s definitely a young man, at least
* He’s lazy yet a workaholic. He rather have a triweekly shift than having to embark on another journey (why workaholic? Well, the first thing we saw when we booted up the game was Link sleeping through the tale Nico had told but looks especially enthusiastic when Zelda appointed him as a Royal Engineer)
* Because of his low stamina, the other Links let him ride on Epona’s back almost the entire time of their adventure. (”See? You guys don’t need me here. Tell Hylia that I’m just a baggage“, “Don’t try to guilt-tripped us. You just want to ride your train around”, “Tch. Busted”, “Besides, can’t really stop the portal from force-teleporting you into our circle”, “Ugh, I want to retire, dammit”)
*(Yeah. I’m using the ‘force teleportation’ theme in most of my LU fics. Fight me)
* Ironically, Engineer dolove Monday. Don’t judge him by his sour face, alright? He was born with it (lol)
* Unless the map is updated using a technology only existed in his own world, he cannot use the built-in map when in the other Links’ eras
*This is a secret. But the reason why he agreed to help Zelda saved the world is because HIS JOB IS IN DANGER HERE, OKAY? NO WORLD, NO MORE TRAIN TO RIDE. And that’s a no no >:(
* Kidding. It’s not a secret. Zelda definitely knew.
* Last but not least, why the heck did I give him a red scarf? There’s no scarf in his uniform, oi. But I already wrote it in my fic and I’m too lazy to fix it, so there. Red scarf for Engineer :’D
(’Let me speak to your manager’ ‘I am the manager’. Yeah. I chose that name specifically for this joke, hah! And cuz Manager is the one who’s responsible for ensuring the key projects and engineering duties are fulfilled. She isLink’s boss, after all)
Harmony: “Beat is so irresponsible sometimes. I remembered that one time, he was too busy dancing along the Music Monster’s music and forgot to save the civilian.”
Manager: “Oh definitely. Did you know what happened when we first met the other Heroes? Engineer used too much of his energy so I have to lug his body back to the Train Station. Made a bad first impression with the Links and all, I hope he won’t inconvenience them too much.”
Here’s an inside look at our new Center for Additive Technology Advancement (CATA) located in Pittsburgh, PA. Funded by various GE businesses, CATA brings additive technologies like 3D printing into the mainstream. Brian Adkins, additive manufacturing engineer, prepares to vacuum a DMLM 3D printer to salvage unused metal powder and prevent cross-contamination. Stay tuned for more glimpses inside CATA this week by following us on Instagram. Photos captured by Chris New.
After logging more than 8,000 hours and nearly 17,000 cycles of ground and flight testing, the latest-generation Boeing 737 MAX, powered by a pair of advanced LEAP-1B engines has made its maiden flight. The CFM LEAP is the world’s first jet engine to include 3D-printed fuel nozzles and engine shroud made from tough, lightweight materials called ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). While providing double-digit improvements in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, the engine reduces noise and emissions. Read more about CFM LEAP and it’s first flight on GE Reports.
Schwedisch kann so einfach sein, Teil 2: »Schreib wie man’s spricht!«
»Ingenieur« ist ein Lehnwort aus dem Französischen: »Ingénieur – ein Fachmann auf technischem Gebiet mit theoretischer Ausbildung«. Damit ist »Ingénieur« einst als Fremdwort ins Deutsche, Schwedische und auch Englische integriert worden. Bei der Integration erfahren solche Lehnwörter meist eine Angleichung an das jeweilige Schriftsystem und die Schreibung.
Während im Deutschen dabei gilt, dass man sich möglichst nach der Ursprungsschreibung richtet, gilt im Schwedischen wie so oft die einfache Regel, »schreib es einfach so, wie man es spricht«. Beim Ingenieur kommt »Ingenjör« raus. Im Englischen »Engineer«.
Interplanetary Shipping-Northstar (IPS-N) moves things across space. These things can range from humanitarian aid to support a world in crisis, to the same weapons that created the crisis in the first place, and everything in between. It’s all business, baby!

Racecar driver, Janet Guthrie, was Danica Patrick before Danica Patrick was even born. Breaking the speed barrier for women in a man’s sport, Guthrie turned heads and expectations in her years on the track. And she was also an aerospace engineer. Yes, an actual rocket scientist. You think you’d see her in a godaddy.com ad? Hmm, probably not.
Tell your friend she’s got a little Janet in her. Reblog now to give her a little push.
Good greetings, one and all! After 6 years and almost a dozen weekly updates for my patrons to keep me going, my newest masterpiece is finally complete! First things first! This class is 19 pages so this is just a portion. You can view the entire document HERE!
So, there’s quite the story behind this class. When I first got into this whole homebrewing thing, I was pretty new to 5th edition, maybe only a couple one-shots under my belt. But when a buddy of mine asked me to join a campaign he was gonna start, I thought it would be just the best idea to homebrew a class to play for my first major character.
The class in question was a tinker, and inventor of things and wielder of all kinds of steampunk-y gadgets. I came to the table with a basic overview and the first few levels written out, and things were going great. I was having fun with it as I tinkered with the class and developed it further as we played, a bit like a certain claymation dog and a model train set. That was April of 2016.
But then things started to go wrong. As someone with ADHD, a wild imagination, and, at the time, boundless creative energy, I was making massive sweeping changes every couple months because I was constantly changing my mind as to what I wanted the class to be, always coming up with new ideas I wanted to experiment with instead of sticking with what I had. Months turned to years, and I soon realized that my beloved Tinker was stuck in the dreaded Development Hell.
BUT NO MORE! Thanks to a new regiment of making weekly updates for my patrons to keep me making consistent progress, I’ve finally finished this damnable project. I can’t even begin to describe how pleased I am with the final result, and it’s so surreal to finally see what was basically my first ever 5e homebrew completed after all these years. And I have you all to thank for it. Were it not for the Foundry and you all who have supported me through all it’s ups and downs, I honestly don’t thing I ever would have finished it. So thank you, stay safe, and don’t forget to love each other.
