Opting out requires work.
Also, in my view, I doubt that it is #GDPDR compliant in its current form.
Beware.
Started reading The Iron Dragon's Daughter by Michael Swanwick. I read this book over 2 decades ago, and was often at a loss for many of the words in it were foreign to me. Now 25 years later, at least I have Google, and I'm definitely expanding my vocabulary, but I do understand it a lot better than I had before. So far it's as good as I remember. Heck better even because I can understand it now. #book#reading#SciFi
Once again it is an hour until #Monsterdon, the weekly monster movie watch party. If you want to avoid a bunch of toots about a hokey sci fi flick, block the tag.
This week features STRANGER FROM VENUS (1954), in which a bug-eyed monster tries to get Earth to turn down the bass! No, I think it's about nuclear disarmament or somesuch.
We start at 9pm eastern, and you can find the movie on Tubi or YouTube. See you there!
🆕 blog! “Book Review: Relic - Alan Dean Foster”
★★★⯪☆
This is a decent slice of sci-fi. It's the sort of story that probably could have been written any time in the last 100 years. The sole survivor of the human race is picked up by friendly aliens and spends his life as a specimen of scientific and cultural curiosity. And then... events occur! It's […]
#RIP Paul Darrow, actor, 1941-2019. Best known for playing Avon in the 1970s British sci-fi TV series Blake's 7, a character famous for his unapologetic self-importance, and sardonic quips like;
"I’m not expendable, I’m not stupid, and I’m not going."
It already looks like gameplay and prototype game mechanics... A collection device with a limit, a device for accumulation and whatever. What's next? Make a Ghostbusters energy trap?
Today in Unreal Engine 5, I finally did it… Niagara System on GPU without event collision. I transfer the position of the collector to Niagara, calculate the distance there, and through the Export Particle Data to Blueprint module catch the supposedly collision, which I count as a particle collected, on the emitter side the Kill Particles module does a similar check
On a populous colonised Mars in 2059, there are still video rental stores. K.S. Robinson's novel "Red Mars" appeared in 1993, two years before I got dial-up #internet access at home.
On today’s #GreatestTrek, Burnham and Moll teleport onto a set leftover from Apple TV’s Foundation, and engage in a little Mortal Kombat to determine the future of the Federation, and life itself.
"What’s the matter, are you old fashioned? This is the twenty-second century, the enlightened century, remember? There’s nothing a girl can’t do if she sets her mind to it."
New experiments with Unreal Engine 5, Niagara. A prototype of a magnetic device for collecting various bio material. I have a lot of gameplay ideas where it can be used and how: plants, insects, crafting, fuel or things to scare away creatures... Maybe you will have ideas too?
I started rereading The Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy on a whim a few days ago. I’ve read it many times, but for some reason this reread is particularly enjoyable.
