AAA games are already $90CAD here with deluxe/special editions going for $120-$160. I can't remember the last time I actually bought one of those games because most of them are trash designed to exploit the player as much as possible. There are a lot of other hobbies I'd rather drop that kind of money on that respect my time heaps more than modern games.

I think Tiny Glade is the only game I play regularly that is an actual new release. Everything else is 5+ years old because I got them on sale for good prices. Also means they're already patched up and usually perform better instead of having people pay $90+ to beta test broken garbage.

I’m sterile so I couldn’t even if I wanted to. Which I don’t. My country is in a piss-poor state right now and my hypothetical child would be raised in suffering and poverty.

Bragging that you keep a version of the app around that allows you to fly your drone in areas that puts other people's lives in danger is not the gotcha moment you think it is.

Shareholders probably weren't happy that Apple is taking a cautious, more modest approach to AI and instead wants them to dump quadrillions into it instead like every other tech company.

Sarcastic hyperbole aside, I'm interested what this iPhone SE refresh looks like.

Finally, something to listen to while I huff the fumes.

Apple really needs to step up with bugfixes for iOS and MacOS instead of pushing rushed yearly upgrades.

Where did I say I was rolling over and giving up? I just said I have no attachment to my country and that it can go fuck itself.

I vote. I write to my MPs and MLAs. I support local businesses. I use alternative transportation when possible. I help educate my family and friends and what options they can take.

Could I be doing more? Absolutely. But being unhappy with the status quo doesn't mean I'm not doing anything. Don't put words in my mouth.

I've never been one for feeling pride in my country, but the fact we're all being bled dry by inflated costs of living and greedy, government-sanctioned monopolies isn't helping these statistics. So, yeah, fuck this shit hole of a country.

Ex-retail worker here that spent a lot of time in aisles, counting inventory, etc.

Steal whatever you want; I don't care. Not my job to look after that shit and I wasn't paid enough for it anyway.

No thanks; I'm good. Still feeling the sting over buying my 4080 Super last spring. Also it's doing me just fine for my work and for games.

Just don't send them in under warranty.

I visit some fast food chains but I avoid Burger King at all costs. Some of the worst burgers I have ever seen and eaten in my entire life have come from that dump.

Prices are getting out of hand, though. Fast Food is quickly reaching price parity with actual quality restaurants which is insane.

 

Been a while since I had some time to do a detailed outdoor scene. A bit of snow this time because winter, of course. Made in Blender and Affinity Photo!

A little something I whipped up to stress test my new workstation PC while in-between bigger projects. Made in Blender and Photoshop! :D

 

I picked up this old calculator from a thrift store for $25. I cleaned it up and got it working again and decided it would make for a cool thing to model, especially with the VFD tubes! My model is not perfectly 1:1 to the original but I tried to make it match where it counts. This model was a lot of fun to make and I am very happy with how it turned out! Made in Blender and Substance Painter.

A little close up macro scene I put together in Blender! I usually do expansive vistas or interiors so this was a nice change of pace for me.

Been a while since I made something snowy in Blender! Turned out decently, I think. I usually do pictures with stronger, more direct sunlight so it was cool to do a semi-overcast scene. Made in Blender with light touching up in Photoshop!

 

A sort of thought-exercise-turned-artproject encouraged by my therapist. Not exactly how I imagined it when I started but that is usually how these go. Made in Blender with editing in Photoshop. Thanks for looking :D

Handsome and floofy. Was surprised how big they are when I saw some in person. Beautiful birbs!

Figured I'd share my latest piece I just completed today. For those that like a bit of spacey scifi! Made entirely in Blender with some touching up in Photoshop afterwards.
