It’s Sindre Skaare

Sure do!

Oi, så bestemt! 💢

Then again I can imagine some coked up Cold War engineering lab very concerned about their new supersonic jets catching up to and getting hit by their own bullets.

We are a rounding error.

Big picture view is that after buying basically half the games industry Microsoft is now seeing us as equivalent to all those millions of NUCs running windows 11 to just display an image at an airport, a McDonalds, or a grocery store self check out.

I honestly think Phil was a cynical shell, a Potemkin gamer. But the fact that even that thin pretense has dropped and they’re replacing him with a Meta AI booster and Instacart gig economy mercenary says it all.

I’m using Krita too. It’s a very good drawing program, beats photoshop in that regard imo. But it does not work as well for image manipulation.

Break ICE

Agriculture I imagine.

When I lived in the US I stopped eating bread and drinking milk because the quality was so insanely dogshit. Just the smell of the bread isles in supermarkets made me lose my appetite.

Ohh this is gonna look great. Will really make the metal veins stand out. I imagine especially in dark caves with lava reflecting off it.

I have no idea what you’re talking about, but I agree.

+1 from me as well. Close to 1-to-1 with the Unreal material graph in terms of UX and features.

The Escapist YouTube channel overrun with slop hype videos about gambling.

More gambling slop videos from the escapist channel.

I can’t believe The Escapist would do this. Actually, while we’re on the topic let me take a big swig of my beverage and take a look at what they’ve been up to lately.

There’s also this insidious bit where it risks locking you in on a derivative vision immediately. Because you can get it close to a final look from the start instead of having a multitude of artists fill in the gaps with their own ideas and taste. It shortcuts a very important creative process

Holy shit. That’s haunting.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Whoa, plum posting in 2025. Like seeing a bird species that was thought to be extinct. How delightful.

It’s giving Bloodborne 2. Or possibly Kojima’s next thing.

But it will probably turn out to just be whatever Ken Levine has been doing all these years.

How about this: they invented nuclear weapons to make a cover story for what actually happened at the bikini atoll.

This trend makes me so happy. Reminds me of the old Nibiru thread on the ConceptArt forums.

And Remy in Ratatouille.
Both which were pretty funny casting choices when you were familiar with how blue his standup material was.

No potty gnome. No sale.

Was mad at me the correct amount for the wrong butt things

It was an expensive mistake

Yeah you can reduce bones for LODs. Unreal has it built in for their skeletal mesh LOD generator and it works very well. And I did it for Unity back in the day using Simplygon. Not sure if their new LOD generator supports it, but the LOD component should.

Areola Borealis

Thats… not that far off from what actually happens in that game.

And the extra fun part about this was how I had to contact US support, but since they detected I was calling/connecting from the EU most of their systems would redirect me to the EU website or support hotline. Had to get a VPN just to access my account page.
