I'm pretty sure the lead on clouds is the industry leader on cloud rendering. He has some great gdc talks and paper write-ups of his work.

I am astounded people managed to drive around Japan without gps. The signage is awful here. Even with gps it can be a struggle at times.

I really feel there would be a market for something like star citizen without all the realism stuff that gets in the way of the gameplay. I'm a backer, and when I can get to playing the game it's fun, but finding my way to the launch pad after every two years break when I'm trying to checkup on progress sucks.

Where are you where you have those options? Id love to be able to checkout tools at the library.

Awesome, thanks! I'll probably start with the humble bundle then. I've also heard good things about eisenhorn so may give that a go as well.

I'd like to try reading some fiction in the 40k universe and was wondering if anyone has some recommendations. There's a lot of books to decide between so I'm a bit lost. There's also the humble book bundle going on right and it looks like it might be a good deal, but I'm not familiar with any of the authors. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Edit: following the advice in the responses, I got the humble bundle and am starting out with spear of the emperor. Thanks for all the advice! Definitely want to give eisenhorn a read sometime if I can find an epub at a good price.

According to their careers page, they have about 60 employees. And, knowing japanese game dev salaries, a lot of those devs (excluding senior devs) probably make around 30-50k a year depending on seniority unless it's a unicorn company.

Can confirm, done this exact thing with tasker in the past. Don't have the script anymore though.

You can enable them in about:config if you search vertical.

Edit: to be more specific, the setting is 'sidebar.verticalTabs'

I wonder if this is somewhat in response to the successful Kickstarter night-runners had.

There's an entire political party dedicated to political satire in Japan (the nhk party or the anti nhk party, I forget which one)...

I use Gboard because I can't find another keyboard with good japanese 9 key flick typing.

Put me down for octopath! I've always been intrigued by it's art style and would love to give it a whirl.

First time touching paints in ages, and first time ever doing a miniature. Been having a lot of fun painting the starter kit after work. I'd like to try shading when I finish them all up.

I was struggling a lot with the first layer since the paint wouldn't stick, so I got a Tamiya primer for the space Marines. I think I may have over sprayed a bit since there's some paint that was pooling in the pauldrons.

I've also had trouble getting to some of the tighter spots on the model, especially the 4 guys on one base (the book is in japanese so I don't know the names). Nevertheless having lots of fun! Looking forward to making a kill team or doing one of the board games since I don't have anyone to play with out here.
