It's almost like everything happening is a concerted effort to rob you of the ability to have any local compute at all, so they force us all onto streaming and pervasively surveil (and charge for) every single click as you make them.

Seems like UE5 is not “killing games” but rather enabling anyone to create an AAA quality game with a relatively small team / budget. E33 is a testament to this. 90% Blueprint, minimal programmers, plugins like common UI (for crossplatform) & marketplace assets (fluid flux etc)

Check out all the hard work we've been doing on making sci-fi Northumberland a living and breathing dystopia. Any fans of Butcher Bay or Half Life have a gander! #screenshotsaturday #FPS #gaming

A mention of my favourite artist, Charles Louis Clerisseau - sublime antique architectural fantasy. Not to mention the cork temples which are terrific - perhaps the modern version of these architectural dioramas is the excellent 3D modelling in the AC: Odyssey game and the like?

"Ingenious Italian artisans devised a three-dimensional and yet still portable souvenir for visitors: cork architectural models of ruins. These proved highly desirable not only to the wealthier tourist and collector but also to the professional architect." antigonejournal.com/2022/02/cork-m…
