The ‘step’ in words like ‘stepmother’ or ‘stepsister’ has nothing to do with our word ‘step’. It comes from Old English ‘astiepan’ (‘to bereave’), which produced ‘steopcild’ meaning ‘orphan’. So ‘stepmother’ originally meant someone who became mother to an orphan.

I don't know how I didn't figure this out until just now, but the English word "reckon" is cognate with the German word "rechnen", meaning to count, reckon, or calculate. Of course, the word "reckon" is also used in this sense, an example being "I reckon it's worth about $12."

The earliest model I made in my low poly pixelated texture style. I am pretty torn about guns in games; I love boomer shooters and survival horror, but I think there's an over reliance on shooting as a mechanical drive in most games. But here I am makin guns. #lowpoly #pixelart #gamedev #retrogaming

Details of my low poly pixel texture shotgun from a few years ago. Though 1000 tris is reasonably high, this was designed to be used as a first person weapon that would have all action animations (reload etc), so a lot of moving parts were fully modelled. #lowpoly #pixelart #gamedev #blender

🕹️ Bytes of Gaming History ⌛
Before the NES there was the AVS: Advanced Video System. Had this initial prototype, displayed only once at the Consumer Electronics Show in 1984, entered production, Nintendo of America would have entered not the console market but the home computer one.

No idea why I insist on modelling the least exciting objects, but here's my first attempt at realism from a few years ago. I recreated my favourite camcorder (MS4) that was damaged in a fire (long story). I also made the inside because of who I am as a person. #blender #substancepainter #hardsurface

Detail of my favourite camcorder (NV-MS4) that I recreated in #blender and textured in #substancepainter. The inside of the tape compartment is also fully modelled because I can't leave well enough alone. It will be missed.

From a cyberpunk future 20XX, Datadyne's latest piece of wizware... no wait, these existed in 1986!
By the standards of the day, these Toshiba laptops are pretty damn sleek things - even more so with that red gas plasma screen. They'd feel so cyberpunk!

I've been learning how to make my own textures in Photoshop recently, and I'd figure I'd show some of my progress over the past 3-4 days.

Last year I started archiving maps for GoldSrc, Source and Source 2 games. I've always had the dilemma of not being sure what to do with it. I would love to somehow make them all available to publicly download, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that.

Planning an unofficial demake of Half-Life 1 (1998) for the Nintendo 64 would require an emulated memory capacity of 240/256 MB and a custom physical expansion pak. Initially, the game likely needed 32, 64, or 128 MB of RAM based on pre-Steam system requirements. (1/2)
