had a crazy idea, so Demonstar is up to a 2 player game but now adding so up to 8 people can join and take a team red or blue when player dies the next player in queue takes over for that team , all players not playing can spectate and chat

RAPTOR VS. STRIKE COMMANDER! The juggernaut 90's multimedia franchise that we were so wrongfully denied as children. Why yes, I have been doing more work creating HDRIs with True Sky. #blender

Yo man. I got hit with the same attack. Guy was impersonating you and I was super tired at the time and fell for it. How did you get your server fixed? I've been waiting 3 days for Discord to respond to me. Were they just able to roll your server back in time or something? Was told they can't.

Since I became my mom's caretaker, I spent the last 2 years working and sleeping in my childhood bedroom and I was going crazy. So, I got a 2nd portable monitor so I can actually do work on a laptop. Just got a laptop stand today. Also got a battery pack so I can work outside for a long time
