Did you know that big studios monitor piracy? Don't you fucking dare pirate this shit. Do not hate watch through piracy. JK Rowling is a disgusting human being that funds and encourages the hurt, pain and death of my fellow trans peers.

Sam Altman has said any workers who are displaced by OpenAI will be given free transportation to the nearest culling facility where they will be summarily slaughtered and converted into a nutritious paste meant to be consumed by busy tech executives who don’t have time for regular meals.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.
The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

I need to build Unreal Engine from source to create a multiplayer project using Epic Online Services??? As in download 70+gb of source code then build 100+gb of binaries to GET STARTED with EOS? There are no C++ classes or blueprints functionality in the standard download from the Epic Store? Lol.

Here's Archery, Badminton, and 100meters.
I made this in 4 weeks. Handled everything from code to character design, from background art to animations to gameplay. It was a promotional sports game for a big advertising agency.

I stand corrected, it’s not just Unity 6 implementation of Unity Multiplayer tools that don’t work with their own sample projects, they also don’t work with Unity 2022 LTS. It’s all comically broken.
I am once again here to complain that Unity Gaming Services, Unity Cloud, and Unity Multiplayer tools (particularly those made for Unity 6) are ALL COMICALLY BROKEN! Even following instructions for their own sample projects doesn’t work. #gamedev

After a 3yr year hiatus from video games because of burnout (for games and the industry), I feel like it’s time for me to finally get back into playing video games.

I think about this quite often.
Tried to do some background drawing for my OC #Illustration. The field of tall grass wasn’t the original intention, I wanted draw him walking through a battle field, damaged buildings, the look on his face being sadness of chaos and destruction of his country. But drawing building ruble defeated me.
