I am highly concerned and aware of what is going on politically at the moment. I am using this platform to have somewhere to get away from all that.
Because of that, please do not be offended if I don't follow you back on mostly politicaly themed channels. Thank you.

this movie drives me insane (in a good way), because in the same way people were surprised that Spider-Verse 1 was 3D, everyone was surprised Klaus was 2D.
those two films did so much to pioneer new visual looks of their respective mediums, and i wish Klaus got more credit for what it did.

I've been to three of these and they have all been a great day out. Some good guests presented well. The staff are friendly and know what they are doing. A great convention experience.
Highly recommended.

This is insane. The level of detail is frightening. Great renders too!

Which means that YOU are going to pay more tax to house and feed all these people and Sundar Pichai will get a nice big fat bonus for making Google even more profit that they won't pay taxes on.

Nick Stevens asked me some questions about generative AI and models. It sent me down a rabbit hole and I found out a few things that are pretty disturbing. TurboSquid and CGTrader have deals to train generative AI on their model catalogues. Note: "ethically-sourced"

His art is highly stylised, yet nails the likeness. The character's souls come off the paper. I love his stuff.

We had a twitch streamer cover our Duke mod. He used the wrong render settings while knocking the graphics. He also didn't link back to the ModDB page.
Streamers, please drop a link to where you got the mod from. You are using us for publicity. Please return the favour. Also, read the read me.

Anyone who thought that having WhatsApp handily available on your Windows desktop was a great idea needs to rethink their chatting strategy! Up to 3 Gigs of Ram for active chats! This is ridiculous. www.windowslatest.com/2025/11/12/m...
Meta just killed native WhatsApp on Windows 11, now it opens WebView, uses 1GB RAM all the time
Windows 11 has just got a 'major' upgrade, and you're probably going to hate it because it uses 1-2GB RAM all the time.

I've been warning people that the American right wing are trying to infiltrate England. To those who tell me "It can't happen here." I say: "Brexit". It HAS happened here and unless people wake up, it will happen again.
This is really excellent data journalism... Elon Musk has declared war on the British government, it just doesn't realise it.
