i am at the time that i use oil to season pans and that is it. i ingest flaxseeds because they can get cheap over here
but if your thing is money and you do not agree with this:
you can get omega-3 oil from fish for cheap and dose yourself with fat from there followed by some cheap vegetable oil high in omega-6
but now i feel i am being a warrior in an oasis
eating little oil and lots of fiber takes me into a rocket-ride over time

It was an okay show but I preferred the game better
There was a tiny bit of backstory which I thought might continue through the whole series but it didnt, it was just abit of filler for one episode

Does it follow the game story or it rewrites some parts?
I haven't played the game, btw

Im not sure Id say it rewrites it, there is just stuff missing and then stuff added in the show
the game has far more content so there was bound to be some stuff cut

What's with youtubers' obsession with making hour or more long video essays about how "gaming is dying"?
It literally has never been in a stronger spot
One look at Unreal says it all
fathom wadi
consider the disappointment from this years big releases and they probably have a point, although exaggerated for clicks.
Also gaming dies for the individual based on interest. If nothing releases to keep them interested it will seem like it's dying because they don't want to play. But inevitably some super hyped game will come out and they will be clickbaiting you with their thoughts and in videos from our new sponsors, Beard-b-gone.

i love the amount of tutorials there
although when i start getting into code seriously, i think i will be able to translate to GDScript or C# in Godot
i am on an endless work of animating stuff
took me 1.5 year to model the spaceship
i thought it would take 1 year to release the first prototype or 0.0.1 version
but the light of UE5 is a freaking delight
:3
even for my super low-poly stuff feels awesome
yesterday i was contemplating turning my game into a 2d isometric to fit mobile, as i have my doubts if 3d will run on medium/high-end phones
but then the animations and light...
actually light not much but if the prototype is enough to hire some workers or i still have patience to keep going, doing a planet or 2 to explore with hover-vehicles is in another ballpark in 3d
no way that faking Z or Y axis by some esoteric knowledge will give the same vibe
yeah but it is the Epic team behind
i am a noob that had some bad days with normals arrangement to not place everything under a double-side render material
but it would be 500,000 triangules * 2
oh no i am actually at 752,000 triangules
not that is a freaking lot that * 2 but still there is plenty of logic that probably will be dumb implemented by one of the greatest wuqs coders of all time
