So we've had a few of the pre conference presentations Microsoft on saturday Bethesda on sunday EA had a quick thing on saturday no presentation as such just a "we've got nothing much move along please" and Ubisoft's and Square Enix was today not seen that yet.
I was reading this article on the BBC this morning, which reminded me in part of a morning I spent number-crunching waaaay back in 2016 to try and work out how much is cost me personally for the UK to be a member of the EU.
Observation is a short story focused indie game where you play as the AI on board a space station where something has gone very wrong. All of your interactions with what's left of the crew and the station itself take place at first through fixed cameras inside the station then later little drone cameras you can maneuver about.
So Rage2 is a strange sort of game it has a lot of flaws and frustrations but the core gameplay the combat is very satisfying.
I saw this video on doing marching cubes in Unity, marching cubes is one of the algorithms that can be used to generate a 3d polygon surface from a voxel type density field it was developed for things like cat scans or mri it's also probably the algorithm things like Astroneer use to have deformable landscapes.
I think this is the second most expensive thing I've ever bought, the first being my flat.
So my golf was getting on a little bit still running fine but starting to need more than rudimentary swap all the fluids wipe it with a wet towel and call it good maintenance so I figured time to investigate replacing it. Since I was thinking of getting something newer and better I thought well why not try out some EV's and so I drove a few the Chevy bolt the Nissan and so on. I also tried the Tesla Model 3 which is a very fun car.
So Anthem came out to people that didn't subscribe to EA's "premier" origin sub service and well it's just dull.
First up the network and connection issues in the demo and beta are mostly cleared up now which is one thing I had a couple of disconnects or weird network problems but no more than you just get anyway it was mostly solid.
It's the single revive I did on the guy who went round killing everyone for us, carrying us to victory.
Well, this is a lot easier than bloody Lightwave (LW), that's for sure. I want to open source Icar, so I've decided to start rebuilding my models in Blender. Most of the original LW are old, tired and have dodgy renders, so I am happy to redo. It's so much easier to learn 2.8; even given that most of the tutorials use the lightyears-different 2.7 UI rather than the sexy 2.8.
Gill got me the Lego Technic Rough Terrain Crane for my birthday, and this weekend I sat down and missioned my way through building it.
