Office space and employees in cali. Probably lots of dead weight marketing / hr / etc.

Hmm the pure realistic model I used was Ares I think. I'm usually doing fantasy stuff so I'll mix in a weeby model as well for my stuff. Just looking at my dir I guess I mainly use Chillout, Meina, there's one here called Henmixreal but I don't remember using it. I think I might have...

I'm no expert on carbon, but I know F1 parts are put together with a weave that is strong from a particular direction. Suspension parts for instance don't do well with hits from the side as they are strong in the vertical direction. I wonder if it was extruded vertically or if it was a joined...

This game has great sound

I've read scifi novels where they stack a few miles thick of ice on the front, and make the ship shaped like a needle, but It will be fascinating to see how it all shakes out in the future. There's math you can do to predict the energy released by striking hydrogen atoms and such. Lots of...

I think inpainting hands and running several iterations is the way to go, but I haven't had much luck with it.

Not even sure how this popped up in my recommended, but it is all really good:

So I have this old serverish box that hadn't been on for years. I think I built it in the mid 2000's and it had a 4 drive raid5 array with 250 gig ide drives. Last week I decided to get it over onto one of my newer drives with snapraid for parity. The C drive was failing and one of the raid...

Found a couple old screenshots while rescuing data off an old server. This is afterlife folk fighting the balrog boss. Barely remember this. From January 2008:

Almost looks like a serpent hilt. WANT Maybe they will do some kind of scan of it so people can make replicas.

I'm thinking a USB tuner is going to be needed. The slow channel changes on the tv's built in tuner are super annoying. I'm thinking I can do a usb tuner with nextPVR plugged into Kodi, then an addon for discovery +. Maybe with that pi-like I linked earlier running debian or something. Then...

It is crazy to run a company from cali. Cost of living, taxes, insane laws. Game companies also are so butts-in-chairs focused and over managed. The one upside is that all the good people are driven into going indie, so lots of good indie games :emoji_shrug:

I knew about that asteroid but I didn't know it was 140 miles across, wow!

I've been developing a myth system for an rpg I'm working on and I'm thinking of going with the Anunnaki space faring gold greed approach :D Maybe gold is really rare in the galaxy?

It worked! Thanks so much everyone for all the suggestions. The 30 dollar antenna I got is cheap and flimsy and way smaller than I expected, but I slapped it up on the same pole my wireless internet is on, and just kind of left it hanging there halfass pointed in the right direction, and...

I don't know if this is fan or blizz made but I love this. It's like an anime intro for the tournament this weekend:

Wasn't really murder. The king asked him to step outside for a fight, then punched him in the face so hard he later died. :emoji_laughing:

I saw a twitch streamer playing some heavily modded Freelancer the other day. Crazy people are still playing it. I do still have some of my old source from my time working there, but it is several years before freelancer was released, and only some of the library team tools (petal and rose...

Mars doesn't have plate subduction though so stuff might just be under the sand. For earth I think there's only one plate that doesn't recycle, the one australia is on maybe? Plate is on permanent smoko.

The ship building is kinda lame, but I expected the snap together piece way. They have alot of environ artists trained on that as they've built maps snap-together style since morrowind. I do love building mine block by block in Empyrion. However the insides will look way nicer because an...

TT was great this year. I really thought they were going to go without any losses but a spanish rider died in one of the supertwin races. More records would have tumbled but Hickman had an off day with clutch problems on one of the superbike races, so Dunlop didn't need to risk. Pretty sure...

Same. Obnoxious, loud. The one with the terrible horn music ... wtf are they even advertising?

I'll give it a go. Will order it today. Need to string cat6 to that side of the house for the discovery+. I was thinking of one of these little things for the discovery+... Apparently the tv will do the digital tuning so no need for a converter box \o/

My biggest worry now is trees. There's a whole town worth of trees in the direction I need.

Ok looking at that, I don't even think I need omnidirectional. There are a dozen channels within 15 miles of here all in the same direction.

Wow this one is way better than the DTV gov one. Cool! Lists all the little stations around me. Most I didn't even know existed.

Thanks! I had looked at the mapping sites. Like most things our area isn't really covered well by the sites. I had a panic at first thinking none of our stations were broadcasting, but a second site had more information. I think we are in a bit of a valley so this whole thing might not work...

So my mom has wasted money on tv for years, dodging back and forth between dish and direct. We live in a small town so that's all there is. Both are crooked as hell and slowly raise your bill, hoping you won't notice, until you get angry enough to switch to the other one. The minimum buyin...

I know we usually come here to complain (or I do) but this year we've had this fantastic spring. Nice and cool in the mornings, warm and rainy in the afternoons. Lovely weather the past 2 weeks or so. Normally we go from frozen to baking in the span of a day and never get any spring.

Fun fact, in the original days, Afterlife didn't use CH rotations until avatar of war, other than the Donals chain (that got the Donals nerfed) we used to kill Tormax in early velious.

My worthless opinion: The ocean base being the ship they arrived in is unlikely. Assuming no clarketech ships need to be big to cross the gulf. Meters of hull at the front, and lots of power and propulsion, though the power requirements aren't as big as people think. Most of the formulae...

I worked for an englishman for a few years, and picked up the tea habit. I have 2 or 3 cups of yorkshire a day with an electric kettle. I don't do milk though, heavy cream. You can even have it while fasting.

Dunlop after a 135.5 lap in practice New trooper bike:

That last paragraph is depressing but true. I wonder if this newish trend of releasing early and half-finished has driven the 2 dominant middleware towards being strong at that early prototyping stage, and no work gets put toward longterm large scale projects. I've had really poor luck with...

I'm in the middle of watching quali 5. The TT+ coverage is better this year. They've had a few technical glitches, and the first day some audio problems, but it is great just to watch the bikes. Last year I complained because they were constantly cutting away to interview the crew chief's...

Yea Empyrion has been around a very long time. I can't remember the date it went early access but I've been playing many years. For them, almost as soon as the first early access was out, the project barely moved. The build system they started with has changed little, and it is the most...

Could be that for sure. Most development I've worked on, the greatest speed was towards the end of the project, but I've never done one of these early access / support for years things.

I was thinking about engines this morning. Both Unreal and Unity are great at that initial get-something-running stage. Both have serious problems once maps and assets start getting larger. My top 3 fave games are unity unity unreal in Empyrion, Eco, Conan. All 3 sprang to life out of the...

It was a good time. At the end of every night whoever was running the server would save and then a big pvp brawl would break out. The BG era kensei / mage dual class would usually be the last one standing, but in nwn times it was usually the all strength halforc with a 2hander. I was always...

I multid alot of NWN in ye olden tymes. This was before DLC was a big thing but they started doing premium modules at some point, and they did a few expansions. The tools were so good people were making great modules for free as well, but pirates of the sword coast was the best of the lot...
