'videogame ice effect'

I seriously love the over-the-top ice shaders used in all those early 2000s games. Ice always looked amazing, just this super bright white with pearlescent whitish-blue highlights that shimmered at odd angles and stuff. It's so cool.

Like the bridge tunnel in IceFields from HaloPC in 2003.

Or the almost-fully-transparent ice tunnel in Crysis Warhead (and firefall. Firefall had AMAZING ice shaders, it had some direction-based visual stuff going on where it had volumetric speckles all throuought the foot-thick ice).

Honestly: ice-themed anything looks cool to me

I just watch and delete because I don't ever really watch anything more than a few times anyways.

The only kind of stuff I've ever made backups of is dev software and old keygens because . well - that kind of stuff disappears too easily with the new&shiny fad.

Seeing only (edit..) two to three // results per scroll is way too cramped.

I miss the early 2000s when you'd get like 15 or 20 search results a page on a 1280 monitor because hosts weren't BLIND.

I always saw kobolds as 'slightly redder than normal goblins' in old grindy korean MMOs

It's fun to watch all the horrible religious missionary type people and tongue-amputators outing themselves like flies to a honeypot.

People be trying sooo hard to sound like Gul Darheel the Butcher, 'scum' this 'i'll make you bow' that, lol!


Alsoooooooo. . People depict the last supper all the time. This isn't pakistan - there's no death sentence for imitation.

Unless you wanna go around lynching and yellow-badge-registrar'ing every four year old child who ever copycatted a religious painting in badly scribbled crayon.

Of course there's a fee. Do they not realize how expensive it is to fileserve useless videogame data, provide versioning for that, updater systems, workshop storage, curation, promotion etc etc. . . without help?

Is there not a fee for your competing storefront? How would it fund its daily operations?

I use Krita because I do hand drawn animation so I haven't pirated photoshop since like . . 2008. Also use a tiltpen with it to paint tangent normals for bump mapping sometimes. Once I obtained good drawing tablets and stopped painting with my mouse I stopped caring about photoshop and its features

Explosives to clean a cement truck. At first they tested it practically(empty-drum with just a layer of dried cement leftovers) but eventually went with the overkill scenario at the end: full-drum and real dynamite. Pretty fun episode

Bundled with every installer in existence with the checkbox checked-on by default.

Art, annotation, memos, hand drawn animation, business'y stuff of that nature

It kinda depends on the stylus though: Some are actual digitizers(pressure sensitivity for use as a paintbrush, some even recognize tilt and rotation for calligraphy) while others are just a rubber nib on a stick(rubber finger...on a stick..no electronics just rubber).

One claim is DDOS attacks, another claim is that the servers are too small for the massive amount of people that recently adopted lemmy

I'd love to know which is true just because .. . . it's fun to know details
