the "Really good boy" weapon mod was one of my favourite things in the original game. Due in no small part to the fact that you can pet the dog after you summon it. Really happy excited for the sequel!

Thanks for the well thought out response! I was looking at that one. How granular is the temperature at low temps? Will it keep something nicely at below the boiling point?

This isn't surprising. Todd Howard already stated that given the choice between fidelity or framerate they would choose fidelity every time. It's disappointing that he thinks that's still what people want in 2023, but it's not surprising.

Need to queue up the house building theme after that one

I wish, but this one is particularly hard. Storing video takes a LOT more than hosting a text based service. There is peertube that you might want to check out though!

Not. A. Chance. I will also encourage my mastodon instance to not federate with them.

OST's are my JAM!

Ori is a classic. - It's equal parts haunting and jubilant.

Death Stranding - Don't be so serious. Every song is a masterpiece.

Overwatch - It's just good fun

Witcher 3 - hey lele lelele lele lele ley!

Cyberpunk - Dark, broody, and invigorating

Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2 - Absolute fantasy. If you want a VGM OST to plan your d&d session to, this is a great option

Red Dead Redemption 2 - Maybe it's partly because Arthur Morgan's story is so incredible but this soundtrack gives me the shivers. "May I stand unshaken... Amid, amidst a crash of the world?" omggg give it to me D'Angelo

There's tons more I'm missing here. But these ones stand out to me.

Elon Musk Says Twitter Is Going To Get Rid Of The Block Feature, Enabling Greater Harassment in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

True, and even if there were it would be a massive pain and probably the best thing to do is not engage with twitter at all.

So what you're saying is, if I have a Twitter account and I start blocking many MANY people it costs Elon money? Interesting.

Does anyone use induction burners? Looking for recommendations. (beehaw.org)
 

I'm looking at buying an induction burner but it's hard to find which brands may be reliable. Most of the youtube reviews are done by review bot channels and relying on amazon reviews in this day and age... yeah. So does anyone have any experience with these and know of a brand that I can go toward?

This Is What It Takes To Be a Strong Town. Is Yours One? (www.youtube.com)
 

When it comes to improvements to your town or city or even country, it can often feel like you are powerless in the world. But you're not alone. A city is made of communities and communities are made of individual people.

One day our kids or our kids kids, or their kids, will be able to safely just walk to school. And it starts with finding your community, finding out what works from people all over the world, and then maybe introducing the ideas to your neighbours or voting for city/town council members who align with your goals.

I just wanted to drop a more hopeful message rather than news or information.

A fuzzy cloth like material created in blender (mastodon.art)
 

Trying to get comfortable with the shader nodes in blender I sometimes create random materials. I mostly post them on my mastodon account but I will test the waters here as well.

The basic idea for the shader is to get two weaves going at 90 degrees from each other. I used a voronoi, scaled down in one direction to make each bit long rather than round, with a low randomness to make each weave. Then pipe it into normal and displacement maps to get the texture out, and use a colour ramp to add the albedo and some light subsurface scattering. Tinkering with the bsdf is just me playing with slider, I didn't have any real direction with those.

If this were going to be for a photoreal material this node set up would be an excellent base to start from, but it would take many more layers and details to use.

What do you think? Do you have any suggestions for materials for me to try?
