Pretty sure funding has been approved and it's going to be back up and running again.

Definitely a skill issue at play here.

Pretty sure you can eat Fluorescein with no ill effects other than turning your piss dayglo. It's very widely used as a 'non-toxic' tracer dye so I'd imagine studies have been done.

Playing Alien Isolation in VR. I couldn't get past the medical bay level level due to actual fear of death by heart attack.

Affinity is the closest but still a ways off being a viable replacement for ID or PS. Source: worked in a design studio, every few years we would try Affinity in an attempt to de-Adobe our workflows but it's just not comparable.

Free-roam VR arcades where you have a whole mall or office to run around in would be cool!

Accused me of setting fire to the school (I didn't do it), and repeatedly 'interviewed' me trying to get me to admit to it. I was off-site at the time at a music exam (my mum had picked me up, it was all arranged formally in advance so the school were aware) but despite this they doubled down on trying to blame me and even got the police involved. All because I had a reputation of being a bit of a pyromaniac (I was/am interested in pyrotechnic chemistry/fireworks but have never committed arson!). I layer found out they discovered who actually started the fire but did nothing about it for reasons.

Project manager in the creative industries. One place I worked had this policy of moving receptionists into project management. Zero experience and zero training prior to starting.

Used to be in charge of wet proofing and colour management for a design studio. Accurate meme.

It's sped up my retouching workflows. I can automate things that a few years ago would've needed quite a lot of time spent with manual brush work.

Also in the creative industries, it's a massive time saver for conceptual work. Think storyboarding and scamping, first stage visuals that kind of thing.

Mate of mine said it was controversial but the subscription is to opt into their telemetry feedback system and improve the algorithm via firmware updates. When they go off when they shouldn't you're gonna have a bad time. He did not mention the remote bricking part, yikes.

You pull over to adjust the AC?

Better than the fake money (representing the record profits they had made) they handed out at a previous employer of mine. I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be funny.

Doesn't look that dissimilar to Windows to me, am I missing something?!

Best year of my life, got over my ex of 20 years leaving me, GME happened, met my now fiancé, got paid for not doing any work for a few months then quit my job.

Regular photoshop has a bunch of AI tools as standard these days.

Spoon to eye. Mustard mustard mustard eye.

My previous employer's Christmas 'bonuses' included a single plastic kids bike pedal, a spray-painted (nice shade of orange) spanner, and fake money. I'd take the potato any day.

Sucks when you have kids with them and a shared friendship group.

The Finance Director was fired for being a sex pest. This was after years of hiring policy that basically meant all PMs were his particular type (blonde, big boobs).

I have two kids and very little gaming time, but more than 75% of that time I spend in VR. With the increased immersion/escapism I have completely abandoned desktop gaming. Playing FPS on desktop just feels silly now

Drunk 18yo me thought dropping into the extension on the half pipe, and getting sweet air off the non extension, was a good idea. It was all going well until the way down. My shoulder hit the coping and popped out over the front. It looked so gnarly my friend fainted while waiting for the ambulance. Many years later I still feel it wanting to re dislocate whenever my arm is in certain positions.

Definitely not nitrating cellulose. That would be irresponsible.

I think my face just made a brand new expression. Thanks for sharing!

The sky, clouds, atmospheric optics, stars, satellites. People should look up more.

Twatt.

I've been in the facilities where they make these. Had to wash my hands like 5 times at separate stations before being allowed on the floor.

Steam VR not good enough for ya?

This guy nuts

Pressure cooker is the way for dry foods. Mine will do split peas lentils and mung bean stew in 12 mins.

The main issue was plugins and external programs compatability. There are some really obscure plugins for advanced work in Indesign, like syncing with client spreadsheets for catalogue work, auto generating indexes/references, that kind of thing. Another problem with ID was working on a network with multiple users accessing the same file from different locations. With Photoshop it's a similar story, we had a lot of actions and custom scripts that would've been a massive headache (or impossible) to port over manually. Personally I use a lot of scripts/actions using smart objects, auto selections etc for batch processing and the feature set in Affinity just isn't (or at least wasn't) up to it. These days I prefer Capture One over Lightroom for RAW processing but I still need to use LR when processing timelapse because the 3rd party plugins only exist for LR.

Shooting I'm square crop has been a thing for a while now, it means clients can re-crop the same footage for different outputs. And usually means framing is a nightmare and never really works out well for any of the output formats.

Old friend went hard on research chems for a few years. I remember seeing a spreadsheet with more than a dozen variants of DMT, quite well organised with loads of notes. The thing that stuck with me was one of them had a big bold warning 'do not take with xxx you will die'. He's OK now but it all culminated with him nearly killing a mutual friend and being committed to a mental institution for a few months.

Depending on the salt you can make both blue and green. Copper sulphate flame test is a pretty common school lab practical isn't it?

Look closely at the crud around the eyes, and the matching reflections. No way this is AI. Blur looks entirely normal for a modern smartphone, focus on the eyes with the nose falling off slightly.

I'm 200 hours in with no wins! It's the first game that's really grabbed me since I transitioned away from flatscreen gaming to VR a few years back.

One of my biggest regrets in life is not eating currywurst while I was in Germany. I will make it right though. Maybe next year.

What if it's 50/50 text-to-image and manual brush work?

Recently discovered the wonders of yeasty flakes, never thought to put it in sauces (only sprinkles) so I will give this a go, thanks!

My ultimate sprinkly pasta topping is a mixture of grated cheese, crushed Salted crisps, yeast flakes, fresh basil, hot sauce, and Japanese shichimi.
