Honestly, I'm playing on my phone, and sure there is the occasional glitch, but actually still very much an enjoyable experience.

Tank racing is a fond memory of mine too. A friend had a modded PC copy in which you could increase the speed of vehicles too. The backwards tank shots could make you fly! Handling however was exactly how you would expect a canon powered flying tank to handle though...

Ooh nice. I'll definitely check it out.

No. Just a reflection of how deep I've gotten into it! 😂

 

I played a fair bit of GTA Vice City back in the day round friends' houses, but never played all the way through. Mostly just ran people over, got as many stars as possible and died. Don't get me wrong... I had a blast... but recently thought I'd play through the whole thing.

The game itself holds up amazingly well I think! I am loving cruising around the city, collecting income from businesses, buying new businesses, swapping clothes, spraying cars... committing a lot of grand theft auto. I was pleasantly shocked at how compelling it is to play. I'm playing on my phone with a Razer Kishi too, so I can get my fix anywhere!

Make the Sun Great Again! The moon is a lefty loser!

I worked with Creo for years, and ProE before that. I still have nightmares about the cascading unresolved reference screens. I've never used NX, but my understanding is it is AAA, though not super user friendly by default. I've pretty much exclusively used Solidworks for over a decade now, and I have to say that it's generally pretty well behaved, and I've never really found I couldn't do what I wanted to in it. Thus it has become my crutch.

I would agree that FreeCAD is the best, but it's not slick and doesn't feel particularly robust. Don't get me wrong, I have no rose tinted glasses on when it comes to Solidworks, but it's generally very usable and very powerful.

Solidworks - A reliable FOSS 3D CAD package would be amazing... Parametric Blender? Photoshop/Illustrator - I know how to do 50% of what I need to in GIMP/Inkscape, but I lean on Adobe usually!

That went south quick... What I meant to say was that we need to invest in building skills in young people. Not skimping on it like it's an annoying sycophant begging for succour.

Always worth reminding those without kids that someone else's kid will be the doctors keeping them healthy, building their homes, working out how to power society as they fight to hold back the immense tide of global ecosystem collapse due to humanitiy's hubris and need for constant gratification with a minimised focus on the impact decisions have on the future.

I prefer getting non-fiction. But I once frequented a bar called The Library. It was not wholesome...

I don't care how polished a deepfake it might end up being... nobody would believe something that batshit.

 

I have no particular love for Google as a company in its current form, but I've got to admit that as an ecosystem of tools (particularly for work) they get a lot right. I'm new to the fediverse, but one thing I liked about the forum-that-should-not-be-named were the strong communities around sharing knowledge relating to Google Workspace. Does such a community, even a small one, exist anywhere out here?
