Just found one of my first 3D renders from probably 2006 when I was a huge fan of Last Exile and wanted something similar in a more grounded approach.

And since my PC was ready to explode if I tried 3D smoke, the smoke you see is actually a 2D edit made on top of 3D image.

It was originally rendered in fairly good quality but only this preview remained over the years.

Starfield has been released on PlayStation 5 and it's now one of the best selling games on the platform. And you know what? PS fanboys love it!

Sadly, even as a big fan of Skyrim and Fallout 4, I consider Starfield a form of torture and a crime against humanity. The fact that it sells well reminds us that there are no valuable games in this generation of consoles.

Dune Awakening devs are working on Self-Hosted servers and PvE. Soon PvP will become fully optional, less than 20% ever use it and they are less engaged.

Will AAA publishers notice it? Your live-service games are no longer needed, collaboration is the key, exploration and creation are the driving force.

And since I hate color theory, here's another one: the dot you look at looks darker because more blue-detecting cells are in the center of your eyes (image: Hinnerk Schulz-Hildebrandt)

Shooting a revolver on LG C1 in Resident Evil can cause the TV reboot. Doing it over and over can damage the matrix. The reason is too bright flash on top of a generally dark scene.

No Robux included, discounts and access to some extra features. For now, $5/month and the price will definitely go higher. The goal is to make spendings less chaotic.

Last year just one Roblox game was more popular than Fortnite or Steam. But this trend is not yet returning in 2026 and the company still operates at loss. While in time of uncertainty gross profit and market share are not the only things investors want to see.

If you were ever curious if it's even remotely possible to heat up the canned food with tea light candles — it absolutely is.

So, you have to have a frame like from the old stove (and there are custom ones) to place the can over the candles.

You really need 3-4 candles at the same time to create strong heat flow that will heat it up one can in about 20 minutes.

The can has to be slightly open to prevent pressure from building up. But not fully open, since it will increase the loss of heat.

It's better to place a ceramic flower pot on top (or a cooking pot) to lower the heat loss even further, but leave enough room in the bottom for the air to feed candles. Flower pots have holes on top which improves the airflow. And they are cheap, but of course don't use plastic ones.

Sadly, this is not isolated to this one company but rather a trend in the industry. It was rare before but getting very noticeable since autumn of 2025.

Companies around are running out of funds, a lot of them were on credit lines that dry out if the returns are no longer predictable.

Gunzilla lost half of its workforce in one year according to LinkedIn data. They are the company behind NFT battle royale game Off The Grid, so not a reliable place to start with.
