Today is the official long waited opening of the GEM—The Grand Egyptian Museum. Ironically the project started 2005 & opening today, this is 20yrs, and it is about the same duration took to build the Great Pyramid of Khufu! Was lucky to visit this summer during the demoing period!!
working on trying to put together a new PC without going wild in budget, looking at prices & it gets confusing!! On paper 5060 should be more expensive than 4070 😅
It just came to my attention that some people found a very small & short rage indie game that i put free on Steam a while ago, interesting enough to put between 12 and 30 hours of their precious time in it 🤯
Today i took a deep dive into the moving boxes 📦 📦 that never opened since my last move. i then found a very very dusty hardware in one of the boxes, hooked it to a TV & powered it On & i found that old Teddy bear friend 🧸. Long time not seen you furry old friend!!
this is a little underrated cool indexbuffer optimization trick that i seen several times (this screenshot from Unreal, as it is a public reference, but i seen its alternative in custom engines multiple times). src: github.com/EpicGames/Un...
next time you work on a flopped game, keep few copies at your home, and keep in mind that one day a sealed copy will be pretty much one of the most expensive game copies on earth 😅 src: www.ebay.com/itm/20377513...
The lesson here: Autodesk can take a successful software like Max/Maya then make it worst, hated and reduce its user base. At the same time, they can take a humble, new promising software, fail to market it, fail to scale or support it, give-up & nuke it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9GS...
Disclaimer: may be little less than 7 years, but I’ve had that phone for 7 years, and that app was not indeed a day 1 installation. I installed it once I learned about it, but I don’t recall when exactly.
This is how they gradually forces u to buy a new phone! Even if u r using the device gently, keeping it healthy, they screw it for u with every MANDATORY update, either buy reducing battery lifetime or app requirements! This is an app used to open fine on that device for 7 years!
The irony if the app opened through a link from safari, it takes few seconds and work fine!!! If you open the app by clicking it on the Home Screen, you only get this msg! If the device not supporting the app, how the hell it can open in a way or another??!
