I'm buying a kitchen and they sent a sample of the marble counter top with a metal ball showing what the sink will be like. Now my desk looks like a 90s 3D rendering tool demo image.

New Video: Id Software's 1993 FPS DOOM has a long-standing tradition of being run on all sorts of weird and wonderful devices. But there's one device that's been sorely missing: a multi-million pound industrial cake machine. So I decided to rectify that once and for all...

All did not go well. Pesky day job. I am pleased to report that this is coming together very nicely now, however, and should be with you all Very Soon™️
