Icarus reveals how long is left until Brigador Killers enters early access

a crusty png of that one scene from the Simpsons where Lisa burst into Homer and Marge's room in distress with an apparently injured Bart. Lisa's caption says "MOM DAD BRIGADOR KILLERS IN FORTNITE" with Homer and Marge screaming in response, and then Bart gets up completely fine and says "THAT'S RIGHT! two weeks. A fortnight is a unit of time equal to 14 days (two weeks)."

Update to this: about two weeks later this mysteriously went away by itself. Appreciation the reminder not to trust any platform, though.

Ship's already sailed on this one. The re-release of Quake doesn't even run on the Quake engine. It pains me but yes this fight was lost a long time ago.

shacknews.com

Microsoft's dumb enough to make a new Quake game in Unreal Engine

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma could easily ruin Quake's legacy with a shift away from idTech to Unreal Engine 6.

The role of universities *could* be to certify that their graduates can think and operate without AI, but they are treating this thought-disrupting technology as some kind of industry standard software you need to learn to be hireable.

promotional photos of William Petersen on the set of To Live and Die in LA

shot of young William Petersen standing up that cuts off at his hip. there's a pinky purple shadow of a window and its grilles over him and the wall he's leaning against. he's wearing a black shirt with a popped collar, open down to his pecs, and a long black & white gingham blazer, and faded wash jeans with his right hand in his pocket

same setup and fit as previous photo, except Petersen is sitting on the floor with his legs up, his arms propped on his knees, wearing ratty sneakers

Got behind on some environment stuff I was doing, so tried seeing what a Touro would look like up close for some motivation (a bit of animation + sfx work needed)

it's sometimes messy and frustrating, and the ending still seems more like McGoohan's boiled-over frustration with the audience, but it remains one of the best TV shows in history

Internet Shaquille had a video about fragrances as a hobby and said remember, a hobby or interest doesn’t mean having to spend money. Which is I think crucial. Culture is not buying, possessing. A lot of ills with “fandom” come with the idea that because they bought Thing they feel they own Thing

it's basically the number one rule to any medium ; you can't just tunnel-vision and pigeon hold yourself into a corner. that niche may feel comfortable but it's stifling and prevents you from seeing "the bigger picture" in any sort of artistic/cultural context

Enjoyed Backrooms. Definitely one of those films that once you’re fully marinated in it, your perception of the world is skewed for a little while; we hit the bathroom on our way out and I side eyed the three large sodas perched on the sink near the over full trash. Parsons will go far.

Still working on the old girl. Here’s the driver’s seat when I got it in February of last year compared to just now. Got it to looking okay from five feet, but the interior has a purple undertone where the leather dye I have has a green undertone. I’ll come back in and blend with hand mixed dye.

A view of the repair seat in grey, still needs better color matching.

Finally watched the Exit 8 film with the kids, since I played the game on the Deck with them. A great celebration of a perfectly turned little jewel of a game. Recommend both highly; the game is that invigorating short form (~hour, give or take) experience games. A hit for good reason.

I love working in @getplasticity.bsky.social so much I did a little talk through doing an hour of modeling for a gun on Brigador Killers. x5 speed, 15 minutes. I'll do it longer next time I think. Technique is pretty obvious if a little straight forward, the commentary is more about gun design.

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) & John Martin's The Great Day of His Wrath (1851–1853) & John Martin's Manfred and the Alpine Witch (1837)

Max on top of a pole cat's pole, swinging like a pendulum, captured mid-swing center frame. he's looking behind him at the Wasteland, a convoy of vehicles (including Doof Wagon and the War Rig), and a massive fiery explosion right in the middle of it, edged with dark smoke

cataclysmic painting depicting the Last Judgment - mountains and rock formations painted to look like a tsunami about to crush a city below, which is already falling into an abyss (if you look closely, lots of people appear to be sliding into oblivion) - a massive magma-filled fissure in the rock. in the background, lightning splits rocks over a red-hot glow in the sky.

closeup on a Rock Rider looking out into the rock canyon - he's featureless, covered entirely in strips of red and brown cloth, with horns on his helmet

Martin's painting of a rocky canyon that resembles the previous screenshot, with swirling, almost ocean-like clouds in the background. Manfred reaches out with his left hand, holds a sword in the other, he's a tiny figure in the foreground standing on a little nub of rock as an apparition (i.e. the Alpine Witch) approaches, who floats on the water illuminated by a wide swathe of light from an unknown, unseen source

The same as those “experts” handwringing about the ai threatening blackmail, or the terribly bad advice dealt to lonely people in confidence: “ai” is a probability engine playing role. None of it means anything, those are just words that it’s seen going together. Worst of all, probably on reddit.
