I like how you can see parts of the map by interacting with the terminals at the start of each level, though I would've liked to be able to see the waypoints in my own map!

Also, I couldn't find a pause key in this game. The Esc key makes you quit to the main menu, instead (but it thankfully asks for confirmation if you haven't saved recently)

Marathon has this thing where you're meant to save human staff from alien invaders, but their AI makes them wander carelessly, so they end up walking in between you and the aliens during a shootout, or even walking towards the aliens (who then proceed to kill them).

Question for developers releasing on Windows.

Is there an affordable way to sign installers for Windows for an open source project?

The code signing certificates I've seen all cost significantly more than the rate of donations to my project, but the friction unsigned installers cause is significant for the users.

#OpenSource #Code #Windows

Even better when you notice the decal on the top right of the rear window.

Made some improvements to the overview file included with 3D #gameassets:

1. Improved design for overall data
2. Link to knowledge base including documentation
3. Whether assets include vertex colors
4. Fixed issue which didn't display group count correctly

New assets soon!

Downloaded the Marathon trilogy and now I'm gonna try each game!

"Checkmate"
Standing up is quite an effort after the blast. You hear the deadly sine wave and see the blue lights of a cop car reflected in the kitchen tiles. Not many moves left.

Glasses 

I got new glasses on Friday but I think they're not doing my eyes any favor. The glasses are the same grade as the ones I had previously but looking at anything with em on feels weird, and things further away than arm's reach start looking blurry.

I'm supposed to let my eyes get used to the new glasses, but I don't remember this taking so long.

I am watching a friend livestream Elden Ring; following her fourth (near-immediate) death to Malenia (Blade of Miquella, Who Has Never Known Defeat), she declared, "If my years playing From Software games have taught me anything, it's that if you see a woman sitting by herself in a chair, just leave her alone. LEAVE WOMEN ALONE."

I love video games with positive messaging.

The spaceship levels in Halo games made me want to play a game where you can pilot a ship more often.

My first choice was an MMO I used to play called Dark Orbit but it seems to be a bit of a mess at the moment 😬

Apparently I got No Man's Sky, maybe I could play that?

Type 1 diabetes diagnoses are more than 50% greater in children with #COVID19.

β€œThe age- and sex-adjusted hazard ratio for type 1 diabetes development in 2020-2021 was 1.57 (95% CI, 1.32-1.88; P < .001) with any COVID-19 diagnosis and 1.69 (95% CI, 1.31-2.18; P < .001) when only virus-confirmed cases were considered.”

Share this with the people who told you kids couldn't get COVID and it no risk to them because they're young.
