Hey any #Blender people able to help with this? I just switched to 5.0 and I've found in UV Editing every face appears in the UV view. It used to be I would view only the faces I selected in the Edit view.

I just looked through Penumbral Oasis Part One for the first time in maybe a year. Enough time has passes that a lot of it is new to me again. I really need to work more on Part Two 😅
I'm thinking writing up some kind of retrospective could be interesting. Still have a blog I never use.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.
