Baby just got two months old yday.

She's been great (She lets us sleep), but I can hardly do anything for myself in terms of self improvement/hobby.

There

It’s QuakeCon

I listened to a couple of these comments on Stadia and I was very surprised to find that it’s not a streaming subscription with a catalogue of games to play at any time.

I think there’s still a value in buying the game, but the proposition is way less interesting than it would have been.

Do you guys know what a blockout is?

Have you opened any other topic in the contest? ?

As an Italian, this puts a smile on my face

@Radu I bought a course a few years back, videos available on Steam(!). I think was tailored to the Valve workflow but I only watched a few of the UI explanation videos, then never continued ?

Seemed very good (detailed) but probably there’s better stuff around now.

I’m really surprised by the apparently incredible support Blender is getting recently.

I wonder why that is: are companies just trying to cut on licensing costs (now that the software is mature enough for professional workflows)?

(Should the topic be in the general game dev discussion like the engine topics?)

«Step aside de_vertigo, I’ve got this» ?

Congrats on releasing the project!

I would go back to it and touch up a few things before calling it a day. I think lighting in particular can be refined.

ah, what a brave new world, where empowered females have to scrounge from IPs established by men to have a shred of success.

The (equality) show must go on

very surprised they dig Nat out, after it really looked like she wouldn’t return to the MCU. Guess Iron Man 4 can still happen then, after Paltrow’s performance in Endgame

I have mixed feeling about bugs like the stuck bomb, but I’m leaning toward the idea they should reset rounds where the bomb is lost in geometry. They have referees in the pro matches anyway.

Not long has gone since rumors reported Rick Grimes to return in a movie... ComiCon brought the tease that confirms it.

I'm surprised how excited they are about pretty much copying CSGO's Wingman format

Teaser ahoy

Tom Cruise reprises his titular role of Maverick in this sequel (that looks like a scene by scene remake)

Furlong also back

Gosh can’t believe I didn’t post this movie when the first trailer came out. Let’s fix this:

42 minutes ago, Interfearance said: To say apple has "created" anything in the past decade is pretty far out lol. They just rebrand existing technology and pack it tightly into their devices resulting in a host of thermal and durability problems. So much to say about apple... so little motivation to type 7 paragraphs.

No, I get what you mean but there is a legit argument to say they influenced the industry in a very big way. They haven’t invented multi-touch as claimed by Steve, but sure they made the first devices that actually worked well and made good use of it.

If it wasn’t for Apple (arguably) nobody cared about making laptops light and pleasant, and nobody would care about how much a battery lasts.

If it wasn’t for Apple (arguably) there wouldn’t be a tablet market at all. (Still they hog most of the market share, plus many illustrators have switched to iPad Pro for their work)

If it wasn’t for Apple making a set-top-box (arguably) we would still be dealing with those insane stacks of VCR-looking boxes (Sky still sells them).

Windows updates have evolved to the current state and provided free upgrades to a new system (arguably) to imitate Apple’s approach to free system upgrades.

If it wasn’t for Apple, contactless pay via phone wouldn’t be a thing. Nobody was using Google Wallet.

Btw it’s Prime Day, I just ordered x2 SSD: a Samsung 1tb and a WD 500gb.

also a ton of baby shit ??
