I don't know enough about Korean law to suggest whether or not this case has a credible chance. I honestly hope it doesn't. I do know enough about the history of games to take issue with `PUBG is just an FFA FPS, nothing new at al

It actually was not. My first 3d software was milkshape 3d and quark for q2 models and map making, respectively. For money burning reasons I had to use 3dsMax when I was making games for the army. It had been years since I touched it, but a

I've used blender for about 14 odd years. I stream it from time to time, if you're interested in seeing how it looks with that much casual time behind it or you want a lesson or two, send me a PM and I'll demo for you. :)

It's gotta be. My brother and I rent commercial space as a workshop on a main stretch of road in a pretty big midwest city. I asked a few nearby businesses who they use for wifi, they all said AT&T. So I go onto AT&T's web

Wont/cant are indistinguishable when you really don't want to do something. I'm no moral crusader, but I very rarely use Amazon. In the last 12 months I've ordered 2 things, a jeweler kit and a charger. If I were trying

Probably not. I rolled my truck a few years ago, and my numbness persisted even while windshields were shattering and up became down, then up and then down over and over again. I wondered if I was going to die, and just surrendered myself t

I'm 29 and comfortable with the thought of dying. Not looking forward to it, but not frightened either. The "how" is just like anything else, practice. Since you can only die once, you have to rely on the deaths of others you

I didn't read any apology in this essay. Going to jump out on a limb and assume you're an American like me, if I'm wrong change the metaphors. What if another country killed a million of our countrymen. 20 years from now, wou

Without a speed limit, I'd take i-70 from KC to STL at about (160~mph) 250km/h for 95% of it. I'd make day trips just to get white castle at white knuckle speeds.

I like your fire. I think we would have fun debating things for days. You've boxed the parent into three positions. They're kind of orthogonal so it's hard to approach directly, but consider a hypothetical 4th position. What

More decentralization leads to more abuses, yes -- but they tend to be of lower magnitude per event. Positions of power tend to attract abusers. Human nature seems to favor consolidation of hierarchies. China is just on a different part of

Only thing I have to suggest is changing your sound recording setup to reduce the echo. Interesting stuff, I haven't had to write C++ in a few years, it's nice to have a bit of a refresher.

Nothing pyrrhic about it. They're just relicensing the automotive industry's IP. Disrupting parking with yet another expression of the gig economy. Democratization of employment. You choose when you go to steal cars, they run the

Right there with you. A coincidence to kick the action off at the very beginning can be cool. Using it as glue leads to really awkward transitions, but I'll forgive it once. More than 2 uncanny coincidences in a season? No longer uncan

Being downrange of a giant laser is probably not fun either. Seems like a good way to blind people by glancing a metal hand rail. I'm also suspicious of the range of any laser based technology. Atmosphere seems to attenuate it pretty q
