never ceases to amaze me how cheaply made nintendo hardware appears to be, if only the price reflected that as well

with all the advanced features Unreal Engine has nowadays, it's kind of crazy there's still nothing like a graph event editor workflow for artists working on mission and narrative design

have to wonder what CDPR is using for Witcher 4, considering this was a huge feature within REDengine/REDkit

Dreams & Nightmares: David Lynch's Connections to Poland The man behind ‘Twin Peaks’, ‘Blue Velvet’ and ‘Mulholland Drive’ is not only one of the most important contemporary directors and the ‘first popular Surrealist’ – but also a genuine Poland fan. How d...

for lynch heads, the connections should be obvious, but if you want to learn why he chose this location, im adding some complementary reading

seen folks sad about the auctioned David Lynch items saying they should end up in a museum, and i don't disagree, but he did thought of that

not long before he passed away, he donated 13 containers of memorabilia to a museum being constructed in Toruń, Poland

bon appétit!

no worries, thanks for reaching out again it's very nice of you

yeah, but they're landing most of those contracts, more and more

yeah.. this has has been my experience as well, a lot of groups im in think im weird or a killjoy for bringing up all the ethical issues with it lol

pen pen..

spacex might have a monopoly right now but so did ford in the beginning, in any case those launch providers arent really in charge of anything and their existance depends on the business with goverment agencies

totally understand your scepticism about the world nowadays, but personally, i still have faith in many things, space agencies among those, even in adversarial countries

they employ amazing people, who want to do good work if permitted, and im glad to get to know many of them throughout the years

and just to respond to your other points

spacex is not really in the business of space exploration, but space launches which used to be increasingly prohibitive for agencies like NASA which actually deal with exploration, especially post cold war when the budgets started to really dry up

his involvement in the design, development, and day to day problem solving knowledge at his companies is actually well documented

like its really nothing like a wozniak & jobs history, he did put in the work and thats what i liked about him, he wasnt the typical 'idea man' entrepreneur

hey well your hunch was right!

but you know, we dont have to revise the history and belittle all the achievements just because hes a dickhead now

like we take it for granted nowadays, but the guy used to be just this somewhat shy figure in the engineering nerd circles, not some worldwide sensation your grandma explained to you at the dinner table

maybe if i really dug into his life a decade back, i would find he was a real life douchebag all along, but i havent seen it then and even if sketch stuff was somewhere out there its not reasonable to expect general public to just do that work

eh its easy to judge with foresight..

i'd like to think i can think for myself, and i did find musk 'cool' in a sense that i hold a lot of respect for giving a pulse to an industry i always cared a lot for, but had fallen into a deep depressing slump during my lifetime

sephirothic tree, but it was the multilayer perceptron all along

thought it was a meme for the longest time but this standing desk has to be the best purchase in a while for me

fucked up

that's exclusive on my OF

although admittedly, i did like the post near third impact village slice-of-life in 3.0+1.0, in a somewhat fanservicey but still grounded and conceivable way

was it Anno's idea? seems like an influence he would take from his history with Miyazaki..

after a complete rewatch, im even more convinced the expanded Ramiel third act in 1.0 is still the best executed sequence of the eva rebuilds, maybe even evangelion overall

large collection already, maybe too large given the space but they seem to be expanding

will likely have to visit it again sometime

got to visit something akin to our own sinsheim-speyer museum recently, just opened somewhat nearby in oława last year

cool place

im pretty sure thats just a larger trend of gamification

dont really like it either.. especially in what i usually treat as tools

going to sleep soundly this weekend knowing kosmos 482 is on a direct descent trajectory over my dumb ass

and im not sure if 'incel' is the right description either, because it doesn't necessarily always translate to real relationships, and those folks aren't usually against all fictional love, maybe just certain types

in my experience, those people seemingly just don't care about the context at all, they just don't want to see or hear about people being in love with each other
