Machin3 have several addons dedicated to Hard surface modelling, but I found Tools incredibly useful for low-poly stuff
I revisit documentation once in a while to remind myself of some features that Iโ€™m using not so often
Oh! Also I use align pie a lot to quickly align verts by just dragging mouse

Some I even donโ€™t remember not being a part of vanilla blender, so itโ€™s hard to say haha

Switching between modes with pie on Tab, connecting vertices by different rules with just one button (smart vertices) also creating new object out of selected faces with one button, mirroring objects
Also Shading Pie to quickly switch between shading views, Snap pie from previous message

I use MACHIN3Tools for all my day to day blender stuff and canโ€™t live without it (recommend checking documentation, maybe itโ€™s something you also didnโ€™t know you needed), my Shift + S looks like this in edit mode:
Lower options allows to quickly change origin to something, depending on context

If you like horrors - go watch Caveat without reading/watching anything beforehand.
Movie managed to surprise me, to scare me and gave an interesting story with unique premise.
Recommend.

Iโ€™m blown away by how good Parasite Eve 2 is and how much it differs from the first one. So many changes and improvements in both gameplay and graphics that I canโ€™t even process it :D

Cut scenes progress between Parasite Eve 1 and 2 is crazy!

I also like how they use Zebra instead of a critically acclaimed yellow paint :D

Finished Parasite Eve
Last boss is a nightmare
4 phases, the third one felt immortal on the first run really.
And after the boss thereโ€™s a chase sequence that you can fail easily.

311 and literally cleaning it up several times, yet it still have 311 great games. The problem is, I already have roughly 300 unplayed games in the library and 39 of them are marked like โ€œIโ€™d start playing it rn and I want it badlyโ€

Well, I guess Ubi canโ€™t do things properly after all haha
Thanks for pointing out, but now Iโ€™m a little bit sad as well ๐Ÿ˜”

Both actors got replaced in the latest games. Both games havenโ€™t had sequels for like 10 years. And they met in Rainbow six, but this moment in the trailer warms my heart for some reason and gives me chills. I just see it separate from siege, as a treat for my young self, playing on ps2 back then.

I didnโ€™t know that seeing and hearing Michael Ironsides Sam Fisher greet and handshake David Hayters Snake will slam me so far back into the past, when I played both game series and adored them a lot.

Canโ€™t agree more

I think they want either to look creative or to make a product for profit, not a game.

I adore the experience when youโ€™re looking at the boss and be like โ€œhuh, itโ€™s just a crab, ezโ€
And next second mfโ€™s eyes pop out of its head, start flying and shoot lasers at you for half HP.

Holy shit! Silent Hill: Townfall looks incredible!
Iโ€™ve been waiting for its trailer since Konami announced that No Code will be doing SH game, their Stories Untold and Observation are awesome story-driven games.
But Townfall looks like a true new Silent Hill, wow, exceeded all the expectations!

I may be wrong, but the fact that they are showing coloured and BW version means that movie was filmed in colour. So BW wasnโ€™t the core version. Colours act very different in BW and what looks good in colour may look like a mess in BW.

Itโ€™s sad when you work on the game passionately for several years and (IMO) lack of playtesting kills this game on launch.
When you work on the game this long - you get used to controls, to 3v3 mode, to map, etc. But let an outsider play and they will point what feels wrong immediately.

What was the thought process, really? Goddamn, I really hope that Iโ€™m wrong, but it looks like self-checkmate.

One small planet so to speak. Feeling existential crisis breathing into my back when looking at it.
And thinking about last year in which I shared only one 3D model not even related to my game. Holy stars, I definitely need to wrap all my job related tasks and do more for my game indeed.

Gameplay wise thereโ€™s also a really strong understanding that game was made by other team. Original team is now making a real co-op successor to the nightmares, called Reanimal.

Just like in Endoparasitic, I feel limited, but not in a broken way. It feels intended. And whole game designed so that this limitation doesnโ€™t feel unfair, rather challenging. It force you to immerse yourself into different body type so to speak and itโ€™s brilliant IMO. Great game!

Playing Camelot 10000CE
One more time @miziziziz.deeproot.dev showing the master class on the โ€œlimited controls leads to the most stressful gameplayโ€. My first encounter was already pretty much frightening and I only met 2 types of enemies so far. I donโ€™t want to meet bosses tbh :D
