All these authors and no one has mentioned the Known Space series by Larry Niven!
Personally I would start with Protector, then Crashlander, then head into Ringworld and the rest.
It's a little dated in places and he's not great at writing women, but it's got some good heavy sci-fi ideas in. The Ringworld megastructure is a fun thing to contemplate.
I was using TechBench to download ISO's from MS without having to change my useragent.
Sadly it looks like the project has been retired in favour of their Files project, but trawling through that to find entries that actually have download links is a royal pain in the ass.
If anyone has a tip on easily finding the latest download for each Windows version then I'd love to hear it.
Edit: Massgrave seems to be current best option: https://massgrave.dev/genuine-installation-media.html
Coupled with the lack of levels, and them all somehow feeling very similar, it got repetitive fast.
Some extra game modes would be fantastic. A lot of work, but payload modes or a protect/destroy mode could be a lot of fun with the destrucible environment
Not my cow, I'm just here to hold the tail.
I see an "add attachments" that is crying out to be tested with a zip-bomb.
"wHAt aRe yOu 12"
Be less of a cock. Everyone was 12 once.
I pay for it.
The cost is worth the extra quality when working with others over screenshare etc. The community management features are useful. A large portion of my workflow is aided by discord and GitHub, both of whi h I pay for premium features.
I don't expect them to provide these services for free considering the huge boost they give to productivity. Expecting them to be free is naive.
People out there making coffe with something other than water as a base? I'm so fucking confused.
Grind beans, pass through water = coffee.
Are people passing hot milk through it? That must be a pain to clean out the machine.
Possible, not practical.
I use substance painter and I need it to work. I don't want to spend hours messing around trying to make it work and jumping through hoops.
Wine for DCC is great if you enjoy tinkering with pipelines rather than using them, but impractical for people who are trying to reliably get work done.
"please disable your adblocker to read our shitty, ai-gen'd article".
Nope.
I just hope it gets the same treatment that Stargate got, with a spin-off series to really explore the interesting ideas raised in an otherwise terrible movie
Yikes, how Draconian. Id be fucking pissed if someone came in and forcibly open sourced a product I had invested millions in developing.
