VCC also known as Video 2000 / Grundig? (That was actually Philips)

Essentially a blown up audio cassette that could record on both sides?

Asking because if so, we might have the same father.

I zoomed in, added a bit of contrast, and went back and forth over the first few seconds to show how the ground around the vents bulges outward before the lava breaks through and blasts it apart. Remarkable stuff. Nature is neat. #Kilauea

Every time I see the hygienist they give me different advice than the previous one and tell me off for not doing it their way.

My teeth are all over the place due to the dentist I had as a kid trying a new technique called “extract random teeth” rather than “give him braces” 🫣

Honestly haven’t looked. Just close it and move on.

Though after the last windows update it launched edge to announce what was new, and at the same time “imported all your bookmarks and settings from another browser”.

Without any input from me. Which isn’t a good look.

Linux is looming…

Once it’s done it’s thing, check startup apps and disable as much as you can (you can stop copilot booting this way and trying to take over)

You can’t however stop the constant barrage of “Microsoft recommends you use Edge”. It’s like the IE lawsuit never happened.

I really hoped they’d turn it around 😢

So many talented people. Hopefully everyone lands on their feet.

Maybe install Linux first.

& check windows hasn’t turned a load of things back on: my PC (on 11 Pro, which hurt buying) likes to reactivate copilot, edge and bing as defaults and import settings from other browsers without asking.

And then BSOD’s during auto updates I told it not to install 🤦

It was always fun trying to reverse engineer another game’s new graphics trick, and seeing how fast we could implement it.

Light shafts next? :) (which are super easy in principle but require a lot of iteration to not clip badly / look good from multiple angles)

Tiled Words A daily word puzzle with a twist

I’m notoriously bad at crosswords, but do like word puzzle games.

This is basically made for me really 😃

What an absolutely bonkers and (now it’s over!) wonderful last 10 minutes.

Three amazing goals by Scotland, well deserved.

I loved the map that came with Ultima Underworld - especially because it only gave you the top level. Entering the unknown of level 2 made me feel like an explorer.

Still gutted I don’t still have that box anymore.

Our squirrel has spent about a week checking this apple out before finally tucking in, so I’m sure yours will come back

Had the same issue here; Safari in ios26.1 - almost got to the end and then it stopped letting me go further forward.

A pair of very dirty white socks soaking in a bath, which didn’t come clean

Wait… (no, they didn’t come clean. Why my kids love wearing white socks and running around on mud I’ll never know)

A very boring photo of our leaky flat roof, with a single line of waterproof sealant on

I probably have more mundane than this, but here’s me mid-repairing our leaky flat roof

Surely there’s a spare wall in the Rebellion office for a few new pics? :)

She’s been on my office wall for years; a very loved Christmas present from my wife :)

I’ve broken my own rule of ignoring Christmas until after Bonfire Night, but in fairness, Amanda told me to brighten the dark corner in my office.

Microsoft earnings suggest $11.5B OpenAI quarterly loss : Satya has also delivered Sam most of the cash he promised

At some point they need to turn an 88,734$ * loss A MINUTE into profit.

I know OpenAI isn't all GenAI, but even so: GenAI is not, in the long run, going to remain "cheap".

* back of the napkin maths (11,500,000,000 / (365/4) / 1440)

For the morning crowd (just). We’re looking to celebrate some of our older work, if you’d like to share it with your audience, we’d love to get you some keys.

but yeah please record some meetings and prototype footage, it’s really hard to get broll for that stuff. sometimes we need to use puppets.

If GenAI does finally get good, it’ll become insanely expensive as the investors who have poured billions in attempt to get some money back.

Hopefully governments will have caught up by then and fix the copyright theft.

And even then, the environmental impact still won’t make it worth it.

And you’ve made about a bajillion amazing textures for Quake.

You absolutely rock.
