“Using 3D holographic screens to display scenes made with the ripped Big Buck Hunter models. The deer in-game only have animations related to being startled and running away, so it's nice to see them rest.”
“Finally started work on a project I have wanted to do for years. I'm reverse engineering + modifying a Big Buck Hunter cabinet (hunting game from 2000), working towards a nonviolent simulation of wildlife with infinitely generating landscapes, using only the original game assets.”

“improbable” matches can happen if you’re strategic, bold, persistent, ask for what you want, enlist other people in your search most people don’t have the guts to really do this and follow through, which makes it a remarkably effective filter https://t.co/Z34RVwDkwY pic.twitter.com/XlAcJMDQYR— Visakan Veerasamy (@visakanv) June 2, 2023

most people will agree that it's good to play long games, but in the short run people do often get flustered or critical when you seem to don't have much to show for it. this is understandable. it's part of why so few people persist all the way through. the dip is disheartening pic.twitter.com/UUJi4fvnUC— Visakan Veerasamy (@visakanv) May 28, 2023
More than 95% of all stories you read in the mass media start as a press release. I don't know if this is a dirty little secret of the media industry or widely known by people, but it's how it goes. Which is like this:— Nate Bear (@NateB_Panic) May 24, 2023

What happened with Dark Universe is so fascinating to me because we've never seen anything like it. This wasn't even the first attempt. Far from! Universal kept making monster reboots that were meant to start something. None of them ever did. Let's go over the history (thread) https://t.co/sW5Z1Z42t6— Nat Brehmer (@NatBrehmer) May 22, 2023
This line is thought is terrifying. education becoming debt-exploding prep for a job that likely won’t use your degree anyway is one of the worst things to ever happen.
