Some bug fixes and re-balancing. Thank you to players who have provided feedback! Fixed bug with new player Drone AI sometimes flying off into the void. Fixed a bug with Merchant NPC during random encounters, if the player is busy in conversation, and Pirates or Zerkers interrupt, it will now resume normal flight. The Starborn’s Corvette and Frigate had the RoF for Valiant Mk2 torpedoes reduced by 33%.

I just watched a couple of videos about sandbox vs themepark games (in particular one by NerdSlayer and another by Josh “Strife” Hayes )… One thing that struck me about the ways players often talk about this (because at this point the history is so old) is that people think of sandbox as the older version of MMOs, and themeparks as newer. But that’s not right – sandbox is not the older form.

We released Godot 3.5 one month ago, and like any release, there are few rough edges to iron out which warrant making maintenance "patch" releases (3.5.x). A number of issues have been fixed already, so we're having a look at preparing the 3.5.1 update, starting with this Release Candidate for users to help us validate those fixes and make sure that Godot 3.5.1 is ready to publish.

If you’re of a certain age, there’s a good chance you grew up with a lot of classic cartoons, but you may have noticed that animated films these days just don’t look the same as they used to. You could chalk this up to nostalgia, but it also comes down to the classic techniques in animation that simply aren’t used anymore in commercial films. The most famous of these classic techniques is known as cel animation.

I hate ‘Friends’ I’ve always hated ‘Friends’ I’ve hated it since it debuted in ’94 and them roommates and I were dirt poor, living in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and it took TWO subway rides to get anywhere. The roomies and I would lambast the show for its sheer ‘un-New York-ness’ No one we knew had giant apartments like that.

Paul Thomas Anderson is probably the most significant director of Hollywood from 2000-2010. In this relatively short period Anderson made only eight films and recently released his ninth, “Licorice Pizza” (2021), which was warmly received by critics. Half of his cinematography is already imprinted in history as a significant cultural legacy. Anderson manages to make each picture infinitely different from the previous one, without changing approach, themes or even faces.
