It's annoying to browse for materials in Unreal, especially when doing level design, because the content browser shows the textures applied to spheres, so I just made a texture browser widget that works like you'd want. Searchable too, and you can change the thumbnail size. Who wants it

Here's a game design tip for the US congress.
You cannot play a game with someone who has flipped the table and set it on fire.
You throw them out of your house

You can say this doesn’t matter because billionaires view normal people as instruments for their will but keep in mind we’re talking about a guy who cried after being booed at a Dave Chappelle stand up set

I know this sounds weak, I know it.

But kindness is one of the few things we carry that can make a difference for each other.

We can’t undo all this hate, but we can still make life a little easier for others.

For anyone arguing that this isn't the same salute. Here is a side-by-side view. It's not just that the arm is extended outward. It's the entire movement of bringing the right hand to then extending the arm straight with the palm facing downward.

This is intentional.

Today I had to confront a nazi. With americas new fascist president the role of punk has become very clear to me. It is no longer simply the voice of the outcast, the abandoned, the oppressed. Punk is there to remind everyone that in the face of fascism, that you still have the drive to fight left in you. Punk is there to slap you in the face and remind you that you deserve freedom and that you must fight for it. Punk is there to remind those most vulnerable that there are people out there who violently oppose their oppression. Punk is the embodiment of the human spirit when it is beat down, pushed against the wall, with no choice but to fight for everything it has got. To me, in this moment, that is what punk is.

I had to deal with an actual nazi at work today and the role of punk is crystal clear. We need it more than ever.

Go make the art you’ve always wanted to make. Write the stories you’ve been dreaming of. Sing your heart out. Pick up an instrument & play. Do the things you’ve been holding back on because you’re worried about what others might think. Just do it. Do it now. Life is short. Life is precious. Please.

Trump dropping his own memecoin means he has the wrong people in his ear re crypto policy. 

I’m now getting very concerned about the Trump presidency.

Something that hasn’t been much discussed - creating a bunch of personal memecoins opens the door to secretive foreign buyers trying to curry influence with our leaders. If you hated hunter biden’s anonymous art sales, you should hate this too.

Basically, we used to have an informal rule that presidents wouldn’t start or run businesses that could pose a conflict of interest. Creating a bunch of memecoins and defi protocols opens the possibility to rampant violations of the emoluments clause. Not to mention the obvious COI given the fact that trump can set crypto policy.

Dear 
@realDonaldTrump
:

Please fire whoever recommended going forward with the Melania launch today.

1. They don’t know what they’re doing.
2. They cost you a lot of $ and goodwill.
3. They don’t have your interests in mind.

I’m not sure people quite grasp how much of the crypto world is reacting to the Trump memecoin launches.
