      ...And I read it initially that "Google blocks (as in "bans") 3D modelers," and thought what the hell, and then got curious how will they do that. XD

  1. Well this sucks... I've used Photobucket for years and now you have to pay to allow other sites to view img links. All I gotta say is F%ck these guys, anybody else have a recommended permanent image hosting service?

      Imgur is the way to go. Then if they fuck up, just move on to the next free service. ;)

  3. Some new fan missions released since 2016 I definitely should try out?

      If you are outta of time or need a small appetizer or dessert, try Coercion or The Bakery Job. Short, straightforward, fun.

  4. Is there a way to encrypt pk4s? Because it would be a really great option if they could be.

      It has the worth you assign to it.

       

      It has the worth you create for it.

      Hm.. I always thought that people, in general, get less credit/praise than they deserve.

       

      No one can do a complex task 100% correct. 95-99% is usually maximum. The other people then prefer to complain about the failed 5-1% rather than praise the successful 95-99%.

       

      It is just sad.

       

      Life would be more fun if people praised each other more.

       

      Here is a challenge: try to praise at least one person (who deserves it) per day. It costs you nothing.

  7. Lost in the PowerPoint mines, health low, no exit in sight... do I hear SPIDERSSSS?

  8. A moment of appreciation for Brutal Doom... Someone has finally managed to mix the good aspects of old and new games correctly in a way that creates something that feels new, but is not watered down. There is no two weapon limit, auto-healing, or snail-like movement. What there is, is a whole lot of blood and guts, grenades for clearing out monster infested areas, multiple functions for weapons, fast paced action, easter eggs/secrets, smarter/tougher monsters and an unlimited number of levels...

      I do not think anyone is oblivious to the problem after events of few last year.

       

      There are plenty of people who are offering simple solutions to complex problems and I guess we know how they work.

      I think it may be an exaggeration to say that blind eye is given to the problem.

       

      Islamic extremists (or any extremists, BTW) are a complex problem. It has not beed solved, because it is not obvious how to solve it.

       

      You can't just go and ask everyone whether they are an extremist about doing something horrible, then expel them or put them in jail and call it a day.

       

      Anyone have good, working idea what to do about it? Go to politics and you will get a lot of...

      At this point it could be just as well an Islamic Idiot or Retard Rightwinger. Or just some Random Loser who decided to replicate horrible stuff that has been done.

       

      Let's wait for more info before jumping to conclusions.

       

      Oh, and let people pray to whatever god or entity they want if it makes them feel better at this time of crisis.

      I had a shot of fine cognac with my professor and opponent right before we went in.

       

      The defence was awesome!

       

      Be sure to enjoy this great event!

  15. Today is April Fools Day... Ever since the US presidential election campaign and with the advent of false news and alternative facts, the day does not mean much anymore. It is more like every normal day is april's fools day, and what we really need would be a special day when only 100% verified and truthful news is published.

  16. I wonder what the maximum amount of hours is to be considered a speed build? .... Asking for a friend.

      @dema,

      2h is really, really short time for a functional mission, and I think the aim of a contest should be to produce functional missions to people to play, rather than just quickly mash something together that barely works.

      Now that I think about it, perhaps "speed builds" do not have a specific amount of time attached to it, but rather they are builds that the author builds faster than their usual building speed. But with this definition more mapping experience results in speed builds, because the mapper works faster. Poor definition!

       

      Thus, perhaps a "speed build" is more like a "mini project," a mapping project with deliberately limited size and scope.

  18. So, I got one of them there fancy level design jobs I've been hearing about. Actually, it was mostly because of my FM that I posted here. Thank you all for the support as I worked on it!

      Not bad, that will put some bread on the table. Thanks for sharing.

       

      Do we get to know, eventually, what the project is and what part of it is your hand writing? It would be fun to support by buying and also see what you did for the project.

      You probably won't tell us, but what do they pay for "fancy level design jobs?"

       

      Not that I would change career, but I am curious what is the perceived value of such a fun job.

  22. Why sleep after night shift when you can spend the morning building modules for a mansion...

  23. To pick the job with shorter work distance and no need to move to a different city or the better paying one with shorter work hours, that is the question! Tough!

      It would be tempting to take the money, but always compare it to the expense of living. If the added pay is lost due to increase in living costs there might be no point in moving.
