had a quick go on this the other day seemed like it might be interesting it's very like space engineers with modular ship construction voxel type stuff
multiplayer focussed which of course space engineers added at a later date.
CERN has kept it going. 30 years old 2 days ago. It's amazing that something that's 30 years old still functions in exactly the same way it was intended. Especially given how much everything has moved on. Capitalised HTML tags took me back straight away!
My first page was November 1995.
Really cool combination of greenscreen, UE4 and camera tracking.
So back in the office, they've got us in for 60% so three out of the five days. It feels weird not least because we currently have to wear masks all the time which is not working that well with my glasses basically looking at everything through a fog. It is nice to have multiple monitors again.
They also changed all the door locks when we were out so none of our badges work and they didn't bother to tell anyone so there were a lot of confused people prodding doors that refused to open.
I love this game. (admittedly not enough to actually buy it ... yet).
Originally I got to play it on game pass and enjoyed every moment of it, the setting and execution are perfectly presented.
The main scenario is tough on you, but that adds to the achievement of beating it.
A single run of the scenario can also be completed in about 4hour with variation for game speed selection and if you actually survive to the end.
Highly recommend at this price point!
This is an incredible little cgi short made mostly by a single artist Ian Hubert in blender over a several years. It's amazingly detailed and does a really go job of using a few actors and live green screen elements shot on a small stage with these intricate and amazing scifi environments. The guy does a lot of tutorials and behind the scenes stuff on how it was made and it's a very impressive piece of work especially so since it looks better than some productions with huge numbers of artist.
My "daily driver" machine is up for a refresh, my XPS 13 is almost 3 years old. Since I got it the world has changed significantly. When I got it I was;
So we got a dog. Been a long time coming.
A few things happened in the latter part of last year, and those, combined with confirmation that both our companies were going to be adpoting some sort of flexible working policy meant we finally able to make the move.
If you ask an engineer of a certain age such as myself what one of the influences of learning about technology and how things functioned was in your early years I suspect a lot of them would mention The Secret Life of Machines. Broadcast in the late 80's the show covered how various common machines functioned in terms of their history development and general internal mechanics. It was presented by inventor and artist Tim Hunkin and special effects and roboticist Rex Garrod (who made Brumm and starred in early seasons of Robot wars).
This chap does some very interesting 3d printing work including things like a tesla turbine tesla valves a pulse jet and rockets and for his most recent video he made a 3d printed (or at least partially 3d printed) functioning turbojet engine (functional briefly but functional none the less)
