Fantastic work! For the purposes of breaking trees due to taking damage or being chopped down, would we be able to apply a ragdoll physics asset to that tree skeleton and enable simulation on it?

Smart move, there's for sure demand for a TikTok alternative not owned by someone acting like an oligarch.

Curved monitors have their place and all, but in video games, the projection of the game world onto the monitor (sans any panini projection post processing or very low FOVs) is such that flat screens end up producing a more accurate image (with the eyes being a typical distance away from the screen.

Edge of Tomorrow at 10: Tom Cruise’s sci-fi spectacle gets better every time Time has been kind to this pacey mash-up of Groundhog Day and action movie, in which a reluctant soldier fights aliens and dies in a seemingly endless time loop

still one of my all time favorite movies

the way I sell it, based on how someone feels about Tom Cruise: if you like Tom Cruise, he’s great it it

and if you hate Tom Cruise you get to watch him die dozens of times over

there’s something in there for everyone

Have I had my mind changed on social media? Yes - NOT by arguing with randoms, but by following experts and first hand folks who share what they do, what they think and what's going on. The change isn't binary - I used to think one thing, and suddenly now another - it's slow and additive: Learning.

This will mean higher gas prices, higher alcohol prices, higher food prices, higher building prices, higher car prices, higher pharmaceutical prices, etc. Trump is about to teach Americans who *actually* pays for tariffs (the consumers do).

Free speech is a beautiful thing, but when a billionaire thinks his voice is more valuable than yours and steps on your opinion using their vast wealth it creates an inequality that we really need to address.

Something I'd like to see Epic add to Unreal is a node to use cheap iterative parallax occlusion mapping in materials. Could be a big help for mobile games that can't use Nanite.
