Side convo - How do you even fix the rebar? It's inside the concrete.

Someone familiar with OG Lain please enlighten me.

This is a snippet from project's site.

Technology is not the goal. It is a means of expression.

serial experiments lain also used cutting-edge digital expression for its time, and it caused both praise and criticism.

If, in 1998, people had feared new technology as “too early” or “wrong,” I do not think that work could have been born.

Where can I read more about this "praise and criticism"? Cause this seems to be one of the arguments for AI uses in production.

hiro8811 might be right about blue light object.

try this...

• add new object, maybe monkey (2m default size, no material)
• disable other objects both eye and camera icon or just delete them from the scene, one by one until it stop being blue
• if the monkey is still blue then it's something in the world material or render settings or compositor

The light that loads when you start a new project. I just think of it as “the sun” because it not a directed light a spotlight.

The sun... IRL behave like a point light so you are technically correct XD
The "sun" type light is there so you don't have to move point light 149,597,870 km away from your scene center (you can't and it will break blender)

adorable
comments on twitter are a mix of...

• "so nostalgic"
• "have/had one in xxx color"
• "it is a stoat/weasel?"
• "the eye fell off"
• "the head fell off"
• "the body fell off"
• "the fur fell off"

I dig the history of README.md and found this

#### Porn-farms
- Sites found to be porn-farms or part of porn-farms will not be addressed in uAssets.
+ Sites found to be porn-farms (families of mass-produced porn sites without any original contents) or part of porn-farms will not be addressed in uAssets.

there are later updates that changed wording until it become what you see now

for AAA titles, installing and running them already feels like a burden. PC games use to ship on 700 MB CD and 4 GB DVD and I think it's insane to see more than 2 discs in a box. Developer have to save every triangle on the model and every MB of texture memory to work on limited resource. Now they just ship 8k full LOD and let UE handle the optimization part. Won't complain if it works good.

80 GB for one game is not ideal

yeah... about that bread...

It's quite rare that I felt betrayed by bread.
To be fair, it's on me buying it not knowing the word "melon" is for its appearance, not its content.

“There’s no point to report bugs”

My first report was in 2024 for 4.1 beta. I now have about 50 issues closed, a few of those are duplicate and known-issue. A few still open since 2024. And one tiny merged PR that puts undeserving "Contributor" label on all of my comments.

Back then I run daily build for the funsies and update every few days. I don't have to worry about getting things done and can spend time to reproduce bug, bisect from daily builds and narrow down to 24 hours period of commits that introduce the bug. I want to save time for devs/triage team so they can close/confirm the issue, look at it, fix it quickly and get back to do more important stuff.

Don't have that kind of luxury nowadays but I wish I can get back to my side project, dust it off and mess around with daily builds again. But no more of that PR shit, the repo is massive and setting up build environment is overwhelming.

I wish to donate in paper cash or other untraceable form, which is night impossible. So, putting in effort with bug reports is the best I can do for Blender.

I am quite positive that it is AI gen.

• RGB light (can be edit in)
• RAM stick contact pins look too dense to be real
• Thin CPU fan with big hub pointing down while cooler fin lay horizontal
• Weirdly large distance between CPU and RAM socket

Discussion on Blender Artists forum. If you want extra cortisol today.

edit:
My prediction... their 2026 financial report gonna see a huge drop for small donation from individuals.

We have "Schadenfreude". We're gonna need a word for physical pain caused by witnessing such stupidity.

don't forget the horses

What did he do this time?

CD and CRT? That thing should be running... not discord
My dear early 2000

I'm so sick and tired of these "people" coming up with solution looking for a problem.

A cooling jacket is neat, but it's not a new idea. Seeing behind my back is also nice but... idk, can't you just strap LIDAR to a hard hat or something if you really need an alert? Don't factories have curved mirrors installed just for this?

The rest of the examples in the article seems useless to be honest. I don't even know why they have to include bulletproof clothes using kevlar like some novel concept.

I want a simple baseball cap or face mask that defeats facial recognition tech. Not shoes that tell me I walk wrong.
