I made a “how do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme.
So “how do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of “how do you do, fellow kids?”

I'm going through doing a reread of bits of the unreal animation docs for a project and chuckling at "the skeleton tree displays the Skeletal Hierarchy", "Bone Manipulation", and the like.
Animators or necromancers: what's the difference?
i love halo so much and i also have to be honest that a remake of combat evolved is on its face one of the most blatantly uninteresting ideas you could possibly put in front of me

One of the characters in the mirror is looking at the other one's reflection. A green line links the chest of the real character and its reflection.
An alternate view of the same scene; now a red line is shown from the eyes of the point of view character from the first image to the mirror, and the green line traces the reflection of that line to the second character. This is showing that the traces are reaching what the player is looking at in the mirror.
okay - trying again with the mirror game; don't know if I'm going to keep the planar + snell's law approach, but it will work for now!

Anyone have any clues where/why that is?
I've started to do some figuring out of stuff for a personal project now that I've got a new laptop. I've somehow managed to auto-set Unreal's project thumbnail. My boy looks like he's just accidentally taken a selfie while trying to snap a cat pic...

unfortunately my first impression was "was is that Shadowheart?!"
Yeah - I watched 1.0/2.0 religiously, and then I've watched 3 & 4 only once when they came out. They all feel like different Wrestlings with Eva, so I think it would be interesting to sit down and watch them all together

Any plans on watching the rebuilds? Fwiw I think they're worth it, but maybe after a bit of a break for EoE

I'm deeply concerned by the four notes played on a large bell early on in the game. I'm a big music nerd - I'd recognise the Dies Irae ANYWHERE

On one hand, it's from a dark age of empty corridors, bad encounter design & dully walking back & forth. Huge downgrade from BG2, feels VERY constrained by console hardware.
On the other, it's very impressive how BioWare made it so engaging despite all that.
I think everyone at the dyke march was VERY happy when it started raining

As visual novel devs, I think we should take revenge. Ahaha Hatoful Boyfriend is a shooter now. Look at our charming pigeons holding little guns
