If you want to create your own game, Quake 3 is a pretty poor place to start for various reasons. First of all, the game is over 25 years old. You won't find much active help because most of the community has moved on. Compare that to engines like Unity, Godot or RPGMaker, which are all still fully ...

Wow, really impressive map. There's so much attention to detail. And I love that it uses a very classic textureset but it looks like something that could've been part of Unreal Tournament 2004, or an even more recent game. Would be great if the texture on the giant Lion head would be a bit higher re...

I'm waiting for my laptop with GTX 1060 to be magically replaced by something faster before I even attempt to play it.

Ah cool. I saw the mirror and thought wait, this isn't your classic old doom.

Yes it does. You score points through various means. You gain points by dealing damage to and killing enemies. Level designers can also place target_secret entities in there which, when triggered, will get you points as well. After you've completed the level you can also see how many secrets there a...

what's this then?

Oh man

Hello? *taps microphone* Is this thing still on? Either way, I've just released a new version of EntityPlus (1.1.11). It contains two fixes and a new addition: [Added] NO_SPARKS spawnflag to target_laser. [Fixed] Loot items not giving health/ammo/armor if item doesn't have count key set. [Fixed] Pla...

Yay!

uh oh

That looks really cool Hipshot!

It's 3D Factorio?

That's an example I can really appreciate, Transient. I imagine it spices up your D&D campaigns quite a bit.

Eh I dunno, learning to do art seems like much more valuable and satisfactory path to take than dicking around with prompts to get a piece of software to sort of do what you want it to do.

But to make something serious with it, it requires patience and dedication. True AI artists tweak the generative prompt and generate thousands of pictures before they find the one they like. And even then, the final generated picture is often tweaked manually in Photoshop or something similar (like...

Mat's example of AI sounds like a useful thing, but note how it's not a process that involves creativity. It's a quantifiable thing that can be rated from good to bad based on tangible parameters.
The popular generative AI's for doing "creative" things seem largely overhyped to me.

What is he offering Harris in return? Roadkill?

Ratatouille. My kids hadn't seen it yet so we watched it. Still one of my favorite Pixar movies.

I've seen it, Mat. I never had a problem with Yngwie. He's kind of brazen and over-the-top, but the man is oozing with virtuosity and skill and has a deep, deep passion for the guitar. It's easy to mistake his brazenness for arrogance, but I think that would really sell him short. There's a hilariou...

When you said resident Swedish nutball I expected an Yngwie Malmsteen video. Why wouldn't I?

It's something us non-poorians can afford

I was actually contemplating taking the day off and riding to wherever but reality quickly caught up and I realized I'm far too busy to be doing that. Need to get stuff finished before going on vacation.

Also, is it possible to make the thread automatically show the first unread post or the last page of the thread instead of the first page?

Not a huge issue but this was the behavior of the old forum and I thought that was particularly useful.
