3 years of Elden Ring QT with your Elden Ring art

Get on the weird bus, next stop: The Midnight Walk! #gamedev #indiedev

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but your prefab has local overrides within a parent prefab.

Strong thread

The other night I got introduce a friend to the 2004 Van Helsing movie. One of the underrated, big-fun, over the top romps of it's time. Bad accents, wildly hammy performances, actual dramatic lighting, impressive CGI/FX that still hold up, and one of the most fun Draculas in cinema.

Officially over 6,000 Wishlists for ROOST. Thanks again for helping spread the word. Making a game in my spare time is effort and progress is slow but we'll get there in the end. Thank you 👻

One of my favourite unravelling of a villain's psyche moments. youtube.com/shorts/-LCGz...

Woke up to a UE5.4 Project that wouldn't open - resetting the Configs to a new Start-up Map gets me in, but every blueprint is corrupt, opening anything completely crashes the engine. Any ideas? Updating to UE5.5 did fix it with some minor BP bugs, but I'd like to avoid that.. #UE5 #UnrealEngine

And now for Tomorrow's Government

This local plague is no joke. I haven't been this ruined since COVID. The eye infection is just a fun bonus to keep things interesting.

If you follow me & suddenly find yourself blocked, its not personal. Ive probably looked at your account & assumed you're a bot. Following thousands of people, a weird or non-existent timeline, strange bio/picture. There's plenty of red flags. I will be wrong sometimes, so apologies in advance.

Trektober 24 - Kira Nerys says fight a Cardassian fascist today!

This game was epilepsy incarnate and I loved it. The intro sequence alone is worth watching just for the pure ham and cheese direction set to a killer soundtrack.

A week ago, I had dinner with a key author of the AI consultation. Not just dinner: I berated them for about 7 hours. In return, they gave me a horrid cough. Which is a fair revenge. Anyway, here's a thread about what I took away from the conversation. These are my inferences, not quotes.

If you have not yet responded to this consultation, you gave until 25th February. This is long and in many cases unclear but don't let that put you off. You can always answer n/a to complex, obscure questions. Make your voice heard. www.gov.uk/government/c...

Something I could definitely see myself using #ConjureSDF for is whipping up stamps and details for use in textures. Could easily make dozens pretty quickly, and then you're sorted for a project.

🚨UK People🚨 1/7 Your government is proposing a HUGE change to copyright law, where they give away YOUR works to Tech companies to profit from for FREE! A disgusting overreach that will cause irreparable harm to ALL creatives and beyond .You have one chance to stop it, read how below👇

Excellent video explaining and showcasing more accurate colour mixing for paint simulation.

Finally watching the finale season of Lower Decks, fantastic so far. Especially the Klingon episode, that intro was cinema quality.

This was so fun to play, and Spiderman was wildly OP.

Progress of Bumi for our #ATLA fanart project gonna finish it soon (if I have more time 😎

3 Body Problem was enjoyable. Looking forward to Season 2. As a Trekkie, it was great to see Rosalind Chao crushing it in a prominent scifi role.
