#screenshotsaturday demonstrating weapon block system I made a while... ago. Swords, with proper timing, can parry (big red flash) which allows instant counter attack. It's not an essential thing to do (generally) but is rewarding if you want to play that way. #gamedev (this footage is still in my test area, the real game levels look/will look much better)show more

WIP! Still messing with the combat system. Few adjustments... to be made but I think it's already feeling pretty good. If you played Ghost Song, what's most singularly notably different here is the lack of contact damage. Only actual attacks do damage. #gamedev (Recorded this footage in a test area,w/temp environment arts)show more

Sorry if i dont have anything to share, but... you can expect content in the next weeks, for now just take a look at this thing i made 4 months ago. It was a test for some SFW content that I had been planning to do for a long time.show more

The Pelvic Whip👇 A Big League pitcher’s pelvis can... rotates faster that 900 Degrees per second To maximize that speed with proper timing, many of our athletes and coaches like the feeling of keeping the pelvis closed THEN Exploding! BUT, if the front side groin is tight, the lead leg will just drag the pelvis open which is a much slower version of pelvic rotation To get around this, some guys land in a valgus position (Knee Caved in) on the front leg since you don’t need full Adductor Range of Motion to do this. And Some step across body which can also work around this. This Test / Exercise To see how your groin affects your pelvis, hold your knee out while performing this exercise. You will know immediately if this affects you or not! 👊show more

I really want to talk to you about self-confidence... with this short video as well as the importance we give to the way people look at us. It may seem silly, but do you see this very simple example that you've never seen me talk to you in a story? Why? Because I have this deep feeling that if I start talking to you, you will abandon me because the myth that is built, even involuntarily, will be destroyed. I would love to talk to you, but it really scares me. The ironic thing is that for me, it's less frightening to show you a bit of skin than to address you with words. Sometimes we really do lose our minds...show more

Big news. South Korean government has unveiled the 'Laser... based Anti-Aircraft Weapon Block-I' for the first time, and it's awesome footage. it's about to deploy it to the Army very soon. It's a 20kW class fiber laser system with a proper size and cost that can be placed easily. Korea's high-ranking research centers are now developing ultra high-power femto laser plasma technology for laser weapons systems. Block-III is also being developed, which is also applicable to military ships as naval versions and plans to have anti-ballistic missile capabilities. This will ensure Korea's low altitude defense along with the '40mm Automated Air Defense System', LAMD-I, LAMD-II, and CIWS-II.show more

Do you walk when you play golf? If so,... do you use a push cart or carry your clubs? If you're doing either, you should definitely give an electric cart a try. It's a total game changer. Using an electric cart is so much easier than carrying or pushing. You’ll have way more energy by the end of the round. For me, that's huge because when my legs get tired, my swing and contact suffer. Plus, I still get all my steps in, which is why I love walking when I play. Sure, you can carry your clubs. I sometimes do that for a quick nine holes. And yes, a manually powered push cart works too. But it's like playing golf in non-waterproof shoes—it’s possible, but keeping your feet dry is so much nicer. That’s how I feel about an electric cart. I can play without one, but having one makes the experience so much better. I love how much more energy I have at the end of the round when I use an electric cart. The one in the video below is from Alphard Golf. What’s cool about this brand is you can attach the motor to your existing push cart. If you already have a push cart, you can easily convert it to an electric cart at a reasonable price. Check out the links below and save $50 using GOLFSALE50 Get those steps in!show more

Made some progress on the water simulation for my... relaxing sandbox game 🌳🏡Island Architect🏡🌳 I added some proper shading finally, and performance is much better, with a priority system for what to update each frame. In the video you can see how it reacts to terrain edits.show more

I want to make this clear to you: the... area they describe as a “safe zone” is in the west of Gaza, but look closely , there is no space at all, not even on the seashore, as the entire place is packed with tents. Where are people supposed to go? Are we expected to live in the sea? How can they do this? What kind of logic is this, telling us to head west while they know very well that there is no space there?show more

🚨The Clarity Act just made it out of committee.... THAT IS A WIN, no question. And yes, I believe American-made digital assets like $XRP $HBAR $XLM $ONDO $TEL $ZBCN $ADA $LINK $ALGO and others will benefit over the long term. BUT SLOW DOWN! This does not mean you sell your house and lever yourself to the moon. This is not the finish line. This is the warm-up lap. There is still more work ahead. The Senate still has to debate it, vote on it, and work through the rest of the process. Then it goes to the President’s desk. And even after that, the real regulatory work begins. So yes, enjoy the progress. Raise a glass tonight if you want. But do not bet the farm. The rails are being built. This is a long-term shift. Do not expect straight-up price action from here. There can still be shakeouts. There can still be pullbacks. There can still be downtrends that test your conviction. But if you zoom out and look at the bigger picture, the direction still looks up to me. That is why I keep saying patience matters. Clarity will not reward the most emotional people. It will reward the people who stay focused long enough to let the thesis play out. Do you have the guts to think long term and hold for generational gains? 👇show more

The rain has largely ended but its impacts will... continue to be felt for a while. This is a look at the traffic camera at the Redmond Road exit. Many area roads are partially if not completely covered in water. Do not drive around any barricades you may encounter. #arwxshow more

It's important to know that the Thing which is... sometimes called a "camel spider" is better called a solpugid or solifugid. It's not a spider at all. It has no venom glands, and kills prey by crunching them up with their massive jaws (the most powerful for their size of any animal). A really big one can nip you, and probably draw blood if you let it hang on long enough. But no venom of any sort. They just look super scary. I kept one as a pet for a while but it was a pretty terrible pet because all it wanted to do was escape the terrarium 24/7. Spiders, scorpions, and mantises are way more chill.show more

As a business owner. This is my website overview... over the last 90 days. And this excludes sales from My 9 distributors. The physical cash made from my walk in sale that had a lot of turnup and also daily walk in shop sales. This is just website purchases. Not that I care if anyone looks up to me. But this comment makes it look like there’s nothing worth learning from me? A girl can’t be business minded and funny simultaneously?😭 This is 1/3 of my businesses. The dashboard shows a significant increase in sale as compared to last year. So what’s there not to look up to? Mind you my products cost between 45 to 80gh. Do you know how many you have to sell in 90 days to get that? Now as a beat maker. Who has the knowledge on who people should look up to. Can I see what inspiration your fellow beat makers can pick from you to keep them pushing? Im sure we all want to learn.😄 Mine is down here👇🏻show more

let me be clear. in the next 6 months,... if you're not using ai to generate ad creatives, your brand will die. it's not a question of "if," but "when." your competitors will : - out-test you - out-scale you - bury you with a volume of content you can't compete with this is digital darwinism. i just dropped the full ai ugc guide that shows you exactly how to generate ads that don't look like slop. like + reply 'guide' and i'll dm it to you.

Eben Etzebeth's post on Instagram: Hey Everyone I've been... quiet, but now that my hearing is done I think I owe everyone an explanation First of all, this is not a post to show that I was not guilty, I accept guilt. I made a mistake and I'm willing to serve a suspension which I deserve. I don't want young kids who look up to the Springboks to think that it's OK to eye gouge someone, because it's not, but unfortunately mistakes happen and I made a big one for which I'm sorry. But I'd like to answer the question - why did you do such a thing? It was a mistake caused by my reaction and other factors that played a role. Slide 1: The scuffle was basically over when Wales #7 struck me with an open hand to my chin/neck area, you can see me looking at the Assistant Referee and waiting for a reaction from him (it happened fast and it's understandable that he didn't see it) without reacting yet, I got another pull on my jersey, before I go in with the similar type of action. Slide 2: You can clearly see my first point of contact is against his shoulder with an open hand, just like he did, except he got me on the chin. Another thing worth mentioning, when he struck me, I was standing still with not a lot of movement or players trying to get involved. When I went for the same open hand towards his shoulder, you'll see 2 Welsh players changing the dynamic of the entire picture as well as one of my teammates pulling Wales #7 around his neck away from my hand and where my force is going. Slide 3: Another Camera Angle So why did I post this? To try and show people how everything happened and that it was never intentional. I would never do something like this on purpose, I know what the consequences will be after playing rugby for a few years. Thanks to everyone that stood by me and thought the best of me. I'm sorry for letting you and the game down. That was my first red card since I started playing. I want it to be my last. To the people that were angry and upset with my actions, I understand - because it didn't look good on the slow motion replay and hopefully you've got a bit more context now.show more

After 50 hours, God of war Sons of Sparta... Platinum 100% is done! Full thoughts: - The game gets better and better the more you play - Boss fights where awesome - Fun to see Kratos as a kid but also wish you could play sections in 2D as the adult - OST is incredible - From a Metroivania point of view it's decent, it's not the best but also not the worst - From a god of war perspectively it's definitely better, it has a lot of old school stuff - Side stuff where ok, mostly not needed - I really like the art style, playstation definitely needs more different art styles Basically there are 2 sides here, if you're a god of war fan then obviously this is a must play since it adds to the lore, story and pure fun. So that way worth asking price However if you're a Metroivania super fan or casual GOW fan then better to wait for a sale if you want to play it. Either way, it's a fun game and Sony needs imo more of these "smaller" scale games.show more

On The Road With Al & Ivy Blog entry... for June 3, 2016: First book trailer for the On The Road With Al & Ivy novel "On The Road With Al & Ivy—Book 1: Becoming A Face" will be released in about two weeks. As I said earlier, I was working on this book and "The Quitturz," and this one was the first to be completed. I decided a while back to do this as a novel for various reasons, mainly because it's complicated to write a book based on real life with actual people. Anyone who's read this blog for years knows that this novella, which runs about 45,000 words, will be based on my experiences. The novel format allows me to include a lot of material based on other people's observations and comments, which will make the novel more richly detailed. The format allows me to fictionalize people so that every character resembles no one in real life. The main reason is to protect sources and to take advantage of fiction's flexibility, which allows me to use my imagination. I think that with any work based on real-life experiences, it's essential to be fair to the characters. One of the things I specifically avoided was not to create one-dimensional saints and sinners, so to speak, so that every character can be seen as a human being with both virtues and flaws. Doing this as a fictional trilogy also allows me to draw on my interest in past literature and do this as a work. I didn't want to do a documentary-style book. Plenty of those are already available for this book's subject matter. The title refers to a phrase that will be occasionally used in the book. It doesn't have one particular meaning. It starts off meaning one thing, but as the story progresses, you'll find that it's a much more complex concept. Another aspect is the story's structure. The original drafts were in the first person, but I found that once I shifted to a novel format, I could weave a more complex tapestry that included other first-person accounts and third-person narratives. I admit that my writing will probably get mixed reviews, as some readers will always criticize that kind of structure, but after 8 years and a lot of thought, it's simply the best way to present the story. There will be more blog entries about the book in the coming two weeks and afterwards. - Al Handa #kindleunlimited #booktwitter #homeless #unhoused #booktwitter #siliconvalley #shitzu #books #Blogsshow more

Three years ago, I pitched a business to this... Particular organization, and they told me they were not seeing the potential I was seeing. Just about an hour ago, I pitched the same business to the same particular organization, and the chairperson said, “Spirit, let’s get to work immediately on this; this is a big one.” What changed three years ago vs. today? ♟️Audience. My Point: There is an audience for everything. It requires wisdom to understand wisdom. The music is nothing if the audience is deaf. So why give up when you can just convince yourself that you are yet to be heard or seen by the right people? What was treated as useless three years ago is the same thing the same organization is saying: “This will put us on the map in the whole of Africa.” I made it possible. You too can. Happy July🥃.show more

✨ Added client-side OpenCV to my drone sim that... watches the drone video feed in-game and tries to detect people, it's messy and wrong all the time (like real OpenCV running on a shitty radio connection) It's starting to look pretty real and with multiplayer it's becoming actually really fun marc-antoine had a tip to let people walk to an X on the map to pick up a drone, which they can then use to fly around, then if it crashes/shot, you lose it and you have 0 drones That forces you to walk around the map to collect drones, which give you an advantage, but while you walk you're obviously at risk Also I added night mode now and you get a flashlight, but other players can see you use your flashlight and spot you And added a 4G tower and sksycraper you can climb and hide in :Dshow more

Update on my foot: Diligent physical therapy and a... lifelong healthy diet/exercise routine has my body healing better than doctors expected. I can pretty much walk normally at the moment! Only a tiny bit of pain every step. There are still unknowns about the future: Will I ever get to run again? How long before the arthritis shows up? WHEN will I need more procedures done, not if. This is a lifelong injury. I’ll never recover to a pre accident place, but I’m progressing very well for the moment. I want to be able to play with my future kids at the park, but whether I’ll be able to even jog when playing tag is still an unknown. Still a long journey ahead, but I’m committed to putting in the day to day work. Thanks for all the support ❤️show more
