excuse me, what the fuck?

Sharma gave her personal cellphone number to journalists and influencers. Her new chief strategy officer tutored reporters on the company’s economic challenges. She skillfully dodged questions about her predecessor’s strategic blunders.

The gambit appeared to work.

Got a preview for Ubisoft's upcoming MOBA, March of Giants, going up tomorrow on IGN. Really pleasantly surprised by it.

Tongren space station, my design for a joint US-Chinese lunar orbiting station, roughly based on Hexagram 13 of the I Ching. (Renders made with Blender)

A cylindrical space station with moon behind it.

A three module space station with a Mengzhou and Orion attached to it.

A bad 7/10 is usually just a 6/10 with high production values as the only thing pushing it to the 7.

It's nice to be at the point in my game where I can comfortable dedicate a day or two to something almost entirely cosmetic and not be worried about schedules. I've been wanting to do particle beam punch-through for years and now I finally have the time. #gamedev

Hello! I'm looking to speak to a game developer/programmer with a strong understanding of asset streaming. How it works, how it can be applied, what it means for games etc. If you're that person, get in touch at rick@ricklane.co.uk. Shares appreciated.
