Recently, I got to finish another 3D visualisation for a garden and my current job. With the might of SketchUp and TwinMotion, the workflow is extremely smooth. Just don't look too hard into the imperfections, my heart is not that much into extra gig after already physically working on those gardens

Happy 20th Anniversary to Half-Life 2 and Valve! This is such a timeless and revolutionary series I end up replaying it once a year. To celebrate this year, here's a native 20x20 pixels footage of the entire Point Insertion. Quality a bit mangled by YouTube unfortunately. Enjoy! youtu.be/2xGD69uFvsU

Man, what's up with Persona 3 Reload. I've spent about 95 hours doing everything in that game, absolutely loving it, feeling like it's becoming a tedious repetitive chore, and relieved to finish it and be free of it. Just to crave more of it afterwards?! C'mon! Anyway... Episode Aigis now

Wait, you can barely even see them with the upload compression lmao
Genuinely, I didn't consider that capturing sun spots is as easy as covering the sun with a thin layer of clouds until I put the photo into Affinity Photo

Been to a zoo in Vienna at Schönbrunn Palace. Incredibly large place! The zoo itself is easy to take three hours of touring without breaks and somehow still miss a few animals. Got to snap a few nice pictures, too!

Something worthwhile! The time flies way too fast.. Here is a Ludens Peace Mark wannabe! Just in time for the release of the iOS version of Death Stranding. Except it's lacking the screw and looks somewhat plasticy on the strap, soooo hopefully I'll figure something out about that within NOT a month

Aha! Receiving the Ultimate Edition of Final Fantasy XVI OST made me so giddy! The box presents so nicely and the artwork is just wonderful! And what an "ensemble" of CDs that is! Marvelous. How much do I regret not snagging the Collector's Edition of the game itself too...

Fox Engine is officially dead. The Metal Gear Solid Delta preview does appear to suggest the gameplay will be similar to Metal Gear Solid V, which is actually quite great since that played smoothly like butter! It looks so beautiful, too! My hopes are positive.

After the excellent coverage of "The Last Hope" by @dark1x.bsky.social, can we hope for another similar approach to "Skull Island: Rise of Kong?" Being a licensed title surely it will have to square off against The Last Hope for the WGOTY award this year! Maybe even give Gollum a run for it's money?

Few months ago I've gotten my hands on Panasonic CRT monitor BT-H1450Y. Instead of running retro games for it, I decided to try some modern games at 320x240 resolution and the results were not bad, but also not really playable. Although in case of RE3 gives it a very Pre-Rendered FMV look.
