@videogameschronicle.com The last section of the latest podcast really got me. It's real sad that opportunities are there but cant be realised. You're already great but could be much more and, in past times, you would be. I've upped my membership and I hope others do too. Keep it up, chaps.

Been teaching myself Unreal and built this moody office scene while learning the basics of lighting, VFX, camera control, animation, cinematics, and blueprints. Wanted to make it feel convincingly cluttered and lived-in, which involved placing 600+ props by hand. Sound up for maximum atmosphere.

Pls spread word. Three digits can help protect you from scams: 159. If you're suspicious of a 'call from your bank', politely hang up and dial 159. It connects you to a switchboard that puts you through to your bank's real number. Watch the video for why its extra protection

We had some baby wrens nesting by our back door in a nest my wife wove. There were 4 of them and the parents were the busiest birds alive for 2 weeks. Darting around everywhere trying to keep them fed and cool in the 32c heat.

Why do I keep buying them? And what does an article about an excess of onions have to do with video games?
