Game Design is sometimes part weather reporting and part channeling Nostradamus.

I had to create a HP account to physically scan a document myself on my dad's printer/scanner yesterday. Fun times we live in...

Check out the top 2 comments on the Beeb online aricle about this - these look almost identical and I would wager are made by bots - the Beeb need to look into this imo.

The top 2 comments on the #BBC article about Refugee status' being changed look very similar. Isn't it about time they had a different, more stringent vetting procedure for users to leave comments. These look nigh on identical and smack of being created by bots.

The Blue Shell mechanic is awful, much better solution would be to increase power drops for people lower down the standings, or the ability to steal a power up from someone in 1st place. Fucking someone over because they are doing well is dog shit - lift everyone else up so they can compete better.

I'm re-reading the entire Game of Thrones series in the vein hope by the time I've finished George will have released the next book (3 chapters a night so will take me 115 nights). I'm imagining I'll be able to read all the other Westeros books too before that happens mind you...

Being a parent to teenage boys is having enough food squirrelled away somewhere to feed 10 teenage boys when they all descend on your place unexpectedly. 😧

I’m following along with a tutorial on Udemy at the moment and on the whole it’s really good… except for the fact the guys mic is really really quiet so you crank up the volume and then suddenly you get one of his windows error bings that’s louder than a thousand fucking Big Ben’s in your ear holes

I get the need to report on events such as the awful news about the mass shooting that happened in Tumbler Ridge yesterday, but adding a fucking high score table to the article does nothing except turn it into a body count game to those who might seek to emulate it surely?

Having been a carer for someone with dementia (my Dad) for a couple of years now I can tell you hand on heart Trump absolutely has dementia. No question. The fact that my dad often forgets where his bedroom is and Trump has the nuclear codes should be (and probably is) terrifying to everyone.

It’s this one - as I mentioned be warned the audio is a bit borked. Still worth a look though imo 👍

Spent the evening faffing about with Blender modifiers, assigning attributes to specific edges for the bevel modifier and displacement in UE5 - most of the way there me thinks but bed is calling and will go back to it tomorrow. Pleased I've been tackling this as it's a tough nut to crack (for me)! 😅

Now’s the time America - now’s the time for a nationwide strike. These fuckers at the top only understand money - hit them where it hurts and they’ll have to take notice. Always remember- there’s far more of you than them. Good luck - the whole world is watching and crossing their fingers.

Me, a Blender user, waiting for the guy in the tutorial to catch up with me while he uses Max. Yes he's explaining some techniques for the newbies, but it seems the steps needed are a lot more convoluted getting to the same point in Max than Blender.

In 2002 I finished an Earth Science degree and fell into a LD role due to my map reading expereinces (working on a Train Sim game where RL maps were utilised), Game design followed from there down the line - I've moved between LD and GD for last 23 years but LD is where my heart is :-).
